With the crazy stuff that's been said in here , what you said wouldn't even been the craziest so

Why does everyone point to Larkin? He makes 6.1 million. I dont think trading him for Nylander is the answer.

Who the hell is this "impact player from a US team that missed the playoffs with term remaining on contract" that Johnston and Friedman are on about, anyway.
- fifty__missions

Dubas just planted that rumour to give Leaf fans something to be distracted about. Instead of thinking about what happened in the playoffs. Like Dubas is going to tell Friedman and Johnston what his plans are. 🤣

Twitter says Konecny, Don't see why Flyers trade him...

So I think Larkin...Cheap contract and yes Detroit would prefer to keep him but see Mantha trade.

Yzerman would do it if he could get a top prospect(Robertson) and some other nice pieces to slot in their lineup...Mikheyev would be intriguing for them.

If they ask for Robertson, Liljregren, and Mikheyev you wonder if it could get it done.

Top prospect, High end prospect and a roster player. Maybe you have to throw in a 2nd round pick.

Clown offer. We'll keep Larkin. Thanks.

So is Larkin any good? On paper he's a 24 year old captain on a garbage team, puts up comparable numbers to Nylander, and is average on face-offs. I haven't watched a Red Wings game in years, so can someone school me as to why this kid is such a big ticket?

Larkin is a 2C on a good team. He's a Michigan boy so he's a bit overrated. But he's still a very good player. Detroit is very weak at C so Yzerman isn't trading him for spare parts. He played injured this season. Plus his wingman Bertuzzi getting injured didn't help. Centres get paid. 6.1 mil is about where he should be.

He was healthy scratched a few times this season.

Sounds just like the type of guy we need. Maybe bring the Ghost with him.

Does Calgary do Tkachuk and 1st for Marner and Rielly?

Not sure if that's a sh1te deal but I would love Tkachuk with his buddy Matthews.

Tkachuk, Matthews, Nylander (would be our playoff perfection line.)
Robertson, Tavaves, Palmeiri
Hyman, Kerfoot, Micheyev
Engvall, Spezza, Brooks (or a better suited Marlie)

Muzzin, Savard
Oleksiak, Brodie
Sandin, Bogo

Campbell
McEill

Leafs have $12.5. They would save $9M from Marner/Rielly trade.

So $21.5M to sign Oleksiak, Savard, Palmeiri and McElhinney. Then up Hyman for an extra $2M...$4.25M cap hit...by losing Dermott and any other scrubs.

Edit: Who says no? (I don't really have a clue, just spit ballin')
- underhill14

I do.

I do not think Palmeiri is interested in playing for a Canadian team.

Instead of McElhinney (who should retire) I would rather see if Ottawa would let Forsberg go

Hey Santo, you and Roper still think the Isles suck balls??

thank you

Anyone else here cheering for New York, oh and a Marner trade?

I think its a good offer.

Great pieces to move along with the rebuild...that is going to take much much longer than originally thought.

I picked 4 Islanders in my 14 player playoff pool

Hope you had an endorphin boost typing that out though

It would be nice...It just seems like a player a GM wouldn't want to let go.

Would you take Larkin, Zadina and Hronek for Matthews? I think it's a good offer. Great pieces to move along to try and win a Cup that is going to take much longer than originally thought.

He makes about 600K more than Hyman is about to make.

Trading the best player available is a no no for a team going for a cup.

Like the Mantha move Yzerman showed his willingness to slow the rebuild taking meh players but good picks and prospects in return.

Yzerman got the best player in the trade. Vrana.
