Nylander to Min for Dumba

Kapanen and pick or prospect to Ana for Manson

Johnson and Bracco to Buf for Ristolianen

Hyman Matthews Marner
Mykilev Tavares Robertson
Barbarov Kerfoot Engvall
Spezza Brooks Clifford
Korshkov

Rielly Dumba
Muzzin Lehtonin
Holl Sandin
Dermott

- Venom17

Boris Mikhailov was an excellent RW for the Soviets in the 1972 Summit Series. He'll be turning 76 years old in October. Hopefully he can keep up with Tavares and Robertson. I don't know who Barbarov is.

The results don't speak for poop, that's why it's so tired. That on top of it being how many years in the past? That would also be on its own more than grounds for it being a tired ass story.

Old man signs a bunch of poop contracts, leaves team with poop contracts... Goes and signs a bunch of other poop contracts with another team.

Two years later dude whines about not keeping him and proceeds to accuse someone else of whining.

That's (frank)ing rich man I'll give you that. 🤦‍♂️

the results good or bad are what they are, thats the point, not saying its all his fault but its his team

and when i was in grade 5 i heard my parents doing it, still haunts me

did that ever happen to you?

I knew this was going to be entertaining. As soon as I saw "You be the Toronto GM" I just knew how much fun I would have seeing the awesome values placed on Toronto players. I was not disappointed. Thank you Leaf Nation.

1. Trade Nylander and a 2nd or 3rd round pick to Detroit, NJ or Ana for the 5, 6 or 7th overall pick this year and select Perfetti, Lundell or Raymond (or Stutzle/Holtz if available) to replace Nylander in a year or two at a lower cost for 3 years.

2. Sign Pietrangelo with the cap space cleared by trading Nylander and letting Ceci and Barrie walk.

3. Trade Kapanen and a propsect (Korshkov, Bracco or Brooks) to Anaheim for Josh Manson

Defence would then be:

Rielly - Pietrangelo
Muzzin - Holl
Dermott - Manson
Extra: Sandin

Forward Lines:

Hyman-Matthews-Marner
Johnsson - Tavares - Mikheyev
Robertson - Kerfoot - Engvall
Clifford - Spezza - Malgin
Extra: Gauthier

The money could work if they resign Clifford and Spezza to reasonable deals with $14.25M cap hit leaving with Nylander/Barrie/Ceci. The forwards aren't as deep but they are far more balanced with an experienced, rugged defence that would stack up with most of the top end teams in the East.

Nobody in their right mind would take Nylander and give up any of the Top 10 picks for him LOL. I know Leafs fans overvalue their guys but WOW. Nylander isn't someone that I would going that hard to get.

How can you fix the Leafs??

Apparently you can't trade the exceptional contracts of Nylander, Marner, JT or AM. You ain't gonna get a lot for Kapanen or Johnsson. Barrie, Spezza are FA. Anderson is all they got in net, can't move him. Robertson is the next great superstar, he going nowhere. Just what CAN you do??...just more of the same....

#1 trade Marner and Justin Holl to the devils for PK , Zacha, and miles wood.
#2. trade Andreas Johnnson and dermont to the oilers for Ethan Bear and chiasson
#3. sign Radko Gudas 3 yrs 2.75per


First trade is almost even cap for even cap. leafs get a top pairing guy for Riley finally along with 2 quality middle 6 fowards and some much needed grit with miles wood

trade 2 is about freeing up money. johnson at 3.4 and dermont whos an rfa probably in the 2.5 range so around 6 mil goes out for chasion 2.1 and bear whos an rfa probably in the same range as dermont 2.5 but is right handed which the leafs desperately need and save 1.5-2 mil in the process

lastly sing the big nasty penalty killing machine in Gudas giving the leafs 3 right handed dman and d pairs something like this Riley PK, Muzzin Gudas, Sandin Bear...a huge improvement a 3 left and 3 right handed d...

The loss of marners offensive should be replaced by Pk, zacha, wood, and Robertson. these moves alos improve the leafs overall team depth which just wasnt strong enough

Trade Johnsson, Kapanen and Anderson for picks - Sign Tenav, Gudas & Simmonds
- DDC Raven


I like this idea. I think Johnsson/Kerfott/Kapanen is far too much of the same. Andersen needs to go. Get assets for him instead of letting him walk for nothing as no way you should sign him.

Let's say two moves: Johnsson, Liljegren and Bracco to NYI for Ryan Pulock and uncle Leo + wheel Nylander and the 6th to Minny for Dumba
- Bo


Leo Komorov is done and has a horrific contract that would be the worst on the Leafs by far. He can't even crack Toronto's lineup. 2 more years @ 3 million per. Horrible contrcat by Lou.

As an Isles fan, I'd like to see the Leafs:

1. Retain Dubas;
2. trade for an offensive defenseman who can't play defense, preferably LH;
3. stubbornly stick to the plan and invest more in analytics.

They know have Jack Campbell and this is the best offseaon for UFA goalies in years. Yes, you can move him.

Marner or Nylander HAS TO GO to shore up that right side.

it has to happen

and those 3rd line players Johnsson and Kapanen etc even if bundled won't come near the value they need to target the defenseman they need.

- classic321




It's impossible to put a value on players in trades with COVID. there will reportedly be a lot of teams cutting budget.

And a RH D doesn't need to be some huge name at all anyways.

1. Trade Anderson back to Anaheim for John Gibson straight up

2. Trade Kapanen to CBJ for Seth Jones.

3. Trade the 2nd rounder to Nashville for Josi.

simple solution is to hire Roeper as the GM............he's the bestest smartest hockey guy ever, and everyone who doesn't share his really smart and insightful opinions is just the worstest

Columbus absolutely laughs at that deal, then hangs up the phone, waits like 20 minutes, then calls dubas back just to laugh at him some more

I still think it's funnier that he traded for Risto and Manson and then didn't even put them in the lineup

If I was Leafs GM i let Barrie and Ceci walk because that frees up 7.25 million then I extend Dermott he'll come in at around 1.5-2 million per year I flip Kapinan and a late round pick (if needed) to try and get Ristolainen out of Buffalo because he's frustrated and may want to go to a playoff team therefore trade value is a little low

I then also look at acquiring the rights to RFA Sean Walker out of LA. He like Dermott would come at a low cost but he would provide some fixes the Leafs need he is a 2 way d-man who is strong in his own end and he plays physical.

Plus Dermott and Walker were teammates in Jr A together and speaking from experience the two played VERY well together (you know Pierrie Mcguire would mention that)
