Assuming we get to 6-8 because Kessel goes hot and get Werenski/Provorov/Kylington, a centre like Kyle Connor would be a great pick in the 20s.
Assuming we get a Strome then hoping Jeremy Roy is still around.

So Winnik, Holzer and possibly Bozak are the only pieces left that we can probably realistically trade at the deadline?

Anything else would most likely be offseason unless a team got super desperate.

Maybe if we withheld cap on Lupul, he could be a possibility?

The cap withholding makes sense for Bozak and Lupul. Three years after this contract. If the Leafs are expected to be really bad for at least three years, then we don't have to really worry about the cap.

There was an article I read where you basically have as good of a chance of getting a good player with a 7th vs. a 3rd, so hopefully we can get a 6th or 7th for him.

well it said the difference between 7th and 3rd is like 10%, which is pretty significant

They could try for a 6+7, which is I believe slightly better than a 3rd

Leafs are not close yet on a Winnik trade. Lots of interest but can wait until price is met. Want a 2nd and a 3rd or a 2nd and a prospect

Deer lord, I feel like that's asking for too much.

I think the main difference is that Winnik is a really good PKer and can play in all situations.
Don't expect that "prospect" to be anything really great, would rather have the 2nd and a couple late round picks. (6th/7th)

Steve Montador's death believed to be a suicide. He suffered from concussions and depression. Difficult financial situation too I'd heard.

That's sad, if true. RIP Montador :(

Winnik would be a fantastic depth piece right now. Him and Santa were the best FAs we've had in a long time and he could definitely help a team that needs work on the PK. I can definitely see him slotting into any of the top teams that need help right now. Though I think he'd be killer on the Pens.

That sucks about Montador...I'm only 2 years younger right now...

Will be interesting to see how similar a return the Canes can get for Sekera and Tlusty to the Leafs got for their guys. Assuming they package the two.

Gotta answer the Preds, Duckies. Call us!

Next up..I'm thinking Winnik.

He raised his trade value last night by getting a goal against Price.


So are we to assume everyone on the maple leafs are up for grabs?

also.

If I was a Blackhawks fan I'd be livid that the current CBA allows someone like Kevin Hayes to leave and get signed by another team.
Click to expand...
It's a shitty rule that probably needs to be changed but at the same time, Hayes wasn't guaranteed a spot on the Hawks so I can't blame him for wanting to go somewhere that he'd be able to play right away. I would have loved to see him in a Hawks jersey but at least he wasn't a douche about the whole situation like Schultz was.

Damn it. RIP, Steve. He seemed like an awesome guy.

Holy shit. Montador was an awesome guy. It's too bad concussions really limited what he was able to do during his time with the Hawks. :(

I like the trade. The Leafs got a good return for two players who aren't signed past this year. However, it'll be sad to see both go, especially Santorelli who I was a big fan of. He was actually my favourite Leaf this year, so it's good that he's going to a contender.

Also heard about Steve Montador. Sad news. Rest in peace, good sir.

I think I'm going to grab a Beaulieu jersey for next season, what a game from him last night. Also, Subban is dat #6God what a machine.

Edit: Bergevin is at the Pens / Hawks game today, give us Sharp Hawks. Do it.

Fair enough trade I suppose. Short term depth for futures. It could be the pieces that make the Preds a legit contender. Entirely possible that the pick + prospect could end up being nothing but the Leafs really have nothing to lose by trying.

Nashville is a damn dangerous team, only major thing I can see knocking against them in a few months is that a decent chunk of their players don't have a lot of playoff experience and their core has never really had a deep run in the playoffs. Rinne is one of those goalies who can steal a series for you though.

A lot of us leaf fans are tired of seeing UFAs walking away for nothing over the last while, so you are not going to see many of us leafers unhappy with this trade.

Winnik is good yo. Statistically he's a pretty legit second liner, and he's a great PKer. Hope the return is decent.
