Trade Deadline

bustaheims said:
Vanek, Legwand and Goc are the only guys that moved that I would have had much interest in. The rest don't really give the Leafs something they don't already have. Vanek wouldn't have fit under the cap, so, that was not going to happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong but something like Reimer plus someone insignificant for salary, and waive/trade Orr for nothing wouldn't have worked?
 
So basically Garth Snow traded:

Matt Moulson
2014 1st round pick
2015 2nd round pick

for

Conditional 2nd round pick
Sebastien Collberg

Not for Vanek, no. Not if Bolland comes back this season.

Hemsky wouldn't fit as things stand, but next season if the Leafs let Raymond/Kulemin/Bolland walk I might take a look at him if he comes cheap:

JVR-Bozak-Kessel
Lupul-Kadri-Hemsky
Kulemin/x-Bolland/x-Clarkson

They could have fit Goc without much issue. Legwand could have been complicated.

They would have had to play with a 21-man roster to fit Goc in (assuming Bolland returns). Not sure how Legwand would have worked unless Bolland's salary was moved off the team.
 
Not surprised at all the Leafs didn't make a trade today. In his press conference, Nonis said that they are pretty confident Bolland will be back this season at some point. That would be the best upgrade they could hope for right now.

Even with Bolland, I'm pretty sure they could have made Goc work by just moving Orr to the Marlies - they would have needed less than $350K in remaining space to fit him in, and they had ~$600K coming into today. That being said, if Bolland does return, the need for Goc is significantly lower.

Capgeek does all that pro-rated calculations in their app though and it says they'd be about $400k over the cap with 22-man roster with Goc/Bolland up and Ashton/Orr down.

The Leafs have virtually no cap space because they haven't been banking any almost all season long.

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sick and tired of hearing all this talk about the Leafs needing Goc.  They don't need Goc, thank you very much.  And I'd appreciate if you stopped talking about Goc all the time.  Geesh.
 
didn't really expect the leafs to do anything today..and really it's probably better that they didn't ..but it always seems like a bit of a let down when you don't get a shiny new player on deadline day...let's hope bolland comes back quickly..and you know..maybe clarkson gets injured again...(kidding......kind of)

That's if Bolland returns today. If he's still on LTIR for 3 more weeks (which seem all that unlikely), they'd have enough LTIR space to make it work.
 
Nothing under the tree this year?  Well, at least we didn't trade for some coal.

Or is "magic beans" a better analogy? 

Or is "magic beans" just a better name for Clarkson?

Adding a motivated Clarkson down the stretch is better than any deadline day deal you could have!  Rawwwwrrr watch out tonight!!

I'm not sure that is true because like I said the Leafs aren't actually banking any extra cap space right now. And you can't really make any trades hoping that Bolland is going to be out long enough to stay cap compliant.
