Trade Deadline

Edit4: the Leafs are retaining salary on Kessel until forever, so they can only retain salary on one more player.

You can retain salary on three players as far as I know.

Two. You can retain on up to 3. However, that deal is a no-go for all the other reasons.

Or you believe they would move Sergachev or Foote for anything?

I think Foote could be in play for the right piece, but Sergachev is basically untouchable.

Yeah, they'd be willing to pay the price to get Karlsson.  That's probably the only way Sergachev gets moved.  Foote is probably a bit more in play depending on the deal.  But it won't be a for a rental forward who's a 4th liner (Komarov) or a 3rd liner with elite PP production (JvR). 

The original price was under the assumption that Sergachev was playing more average-young-dman like, which doesn't appear to be the case.

Essentially answering my own question here, but the only possible chance at a deal would have to involve Kadri, which, creates a huge hole in our lineup, making the whole idea not worth it...

Plus, from the Leafs perspective, neither of those guys are getting moved unless another player they deem an upgrade is coming in.  (ie, if they could get Rick Nash then I see JvR getting traded... need to clear the cap room to bring in Nash)

Yeah, I wouldn't expect the Leafs to do this either.  Was more of a hypothetical.  Pulling in 2 quality dman prospects, one who's NHL ready, would be pretty sweet if they were willing to be patient enough.

That makes me a sad panda.

On the plus side, Montreal trading this guy for a winger who has less points makes me feel better.

He's either been traded or he's been given a maintenance day.

Late to the party here, but it's never too late to remind everyone that Sergachev was traded by GM Marc Bergevin of the storied Montreal Canadiens.

EDIT: Haha avro just saw your post, but it bears repeating.  Ad nauseum.

Day-to-day with an abductor strain

[CarltonTheBear]

"abductor"? That's clearly a made-up muscle that's code for somebody's been traded.

 

[Highlander]

Hate to say it but I want this lad on the Leafs in the very near future.  JVR for all the right reasons should be moved for a good prospect and pick.
so hope Johnsson has a strain instead of a Plane.

Friedman has also mentioned the Glendening-to-Toronto rumours in his latest 31 Thoughts:

11. Toronto certainly has interest in Luke Glendening, but I?m not sure how the Maple Leafs can do it for a draft pick. They?re at 48 contracts, two shy of the max, and they wouldn?t want to get back to 50.

It?s likely they discussed Nikita Soshnikov as part of the trade before the winger was sent to St. Louis, so it makes sense that maybe Josh Leivo could be part of this.

The other key would be a draft pick, and the two sides are a few rounds apart on agreeing.

As of last night, Bob McKenzie said he thinks Glendening rumors to Toronto are dead based on the Wings asking price and Leafs won't offer up a higher pick.  Rumor is Leafs offered a 5th rounder.

Matt Martin for him...Do you do it? I'd be tempted. Think the Leafs have enough internally for a 4th line centre. Leo could go there or they could call Ben Smith up from the Marlies. He's having a decent year and a good pro.

If Lou isn't completely put off by the media getting wind of the deal - especially specifics of the deal - I imagine they'll revisit it closer to the deadline. That being said, with the amount of out there, I think it's basically dead.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

In the LA LA Land Leafs front office in my head Dubas leaked this to the media so that he doesn't have to deal with the consequences down the line.

I hope Lou is actually that stubborn.  Somehow the rumored deal was leaked and now he won't make it on principal alone.  "Nothing leaks!"

I think it was Friedman who mentioned this the other day. That if a Lou trade gets leaked, it probably means the deal is already dead.

I read or heard somewhere that a Matt Martin deal is more likely in the summer AFTER he gets his bonus of 1.5Million.  After that, the actual remaining salary to be paid to him from the original 10M is only 2.5M for the next 2 seasons. (that's 2.5million TOTAL of real money he'll get, cap number is of course 2.5)

Didn't know that, thx.
