Trade Deadline Day - A Word of Caution

It's trade deadline day and everyone is amped up to see who's getting moved, who's staying, to what team they're going, and what's coming back the other way. It's an exciting day to say the least. But let me ask you all to show a little extra patience today. Mixed in with the Bob McKenzies and Darren Dregers, there are the Bob McKenkeis and Daren Dregers. If you're on Twitter and see a tweet regarding a trade, check out who the person is that first tweeted in. If they only have 41 followers, they're not legit. Block them as spam and don't pass it along.
Furthermore, our good buddies Down Goes Brown and Greg Wyshynski will be assigned to Twitter duty for TSN and Sportsnet respectfully so give them some shout outs regarding trades and what you thought of them.

After watching the Marlies game yesterday
Greg Scott is going to be the next Darryl Boyce/Tim Brent/Joey Crabb type 4th line callup from the Marlies. Probably not this season but maybe next year.
Kid has the fire/grit/forecheck/aggressive pk type style. Was forcing turnovers and keeping the puck in the opposition end a lot, even chips in here and there (even shorthanded). Jerry D’amigo was doing this in a big way too.

I agree I like his game, but like the others he’s just not talented enough for anything more than 4th line duty.

For sure. But it’s nice to have some guys who can play the 4th line in the system too. Prevents Burke from having to go out and sign the Colby Armstrongs of the world. He’d play his little heart out on a 500k 2-way contract.

Oh I wasn’t saying don’t put him on the 4th line. I think he’d work on a 4th line for a few years. But to expect him to ever be more than a 4th liner is not happening.

I maintain hope that he may be a step above the Boyce's of hte world
He is young and coming along nicely. I don’t believe he has any shot at a top 6 future, but I have hope he could be a #8 or #9 forward. Maybe a 10-15 G, 30 point guy.
A Matt Cooke (without the evil), Steve Bernier, Joel Ward, Colby Armstrong, Ruslan Fedetenko (minus the 20 goal seasons for the last 2) if you will.
Maybe my hopes are too high.

Darren Dreger ‏ @DarrenDreger Close
Quiet morning in Toronto. Leafs have firm offers on a number of players. Ton of interest in 2nd line, but nothing imminent. #tradecentre
No no, dig UP stupid.
I’ve kind of come to the conclusion that i’d be okay with Grabbo leaving. He’s not signed now and I’m not ready to let him walk. I would have faith that if hes extended, we would get it done, but its still a risk. I also am not happy with how our teams been playing down the stretch and it makes me think that we’re not a good team as we are. Need more retooling before we’re ready. In my perfect world, we ride out the year and fall down into a top5 pick (which is sooo easy this year its rediculous). Grabbo will bring in a huge return, and if he stayed here would also be limitting our tanking ability.
The ideal trade is Grabbo + (whatever we need to) to get Couturier

I know it will never happen :( but its too perfect. We need a young center that can eventually play with Kessel, and they cant be a colborne prospect that may never make it. Philly loves Couturier but they also want to win while they contend, you never know what might happen. They can take Schenn & Grabbo and we’ll take couturier?
I would too… just not on the Flyers

by Chi-town leafs on Feb 27, 2012 9:31 AM EST up reply actions
Schenn + Grabbo for Couturier is kinda like saying Schenn has zero value (right now is probably the wrong time to trade Schenn anyway). For me it’d have to be Couturier + at least a 1st for those two.
Im not sure about that. Couturier is a #1C in the making. He’s in NHL out of the draft, scoring shorthanded goals.. he’s pretty good.
I think Grabbo gives you a better chance to win playoff rounds right now though. But I guess it depends on PHI’s objectives for this season. They’re obviously young enough and deep enough to contend for many years to come. They don’t need to make this trade… we do.
This is a first round pick from this year with 2 years left and RFA for 6 more years vs a pending UFA. That is why they aren’t even close to the same value.

Colin Wilson is my under the radar Burke should get him guy…
and Nashville seems determined to add pieces for a run this year..
Just sayin
Kadri Fanboy since 2006
Yeah Wilson is another one of those Couturier type players I would pursue. His ceiling isnt as high IMO, but I want him
I think WIlson’s offensive ceiling is higher outside of Nashville and therefore underrated… Sure he’s only on pace for ~46pts in his age 21 season, but he’s also playing on a team who might not even have a 60 pt player.
Also him spending 2 1/2 years learning defense from Trotz has to help his 2 way game.

Ron Wilson is my under the radar Burke should dump him guy.

I don’t want to trade Grabovski, but it sounds like we could at least get a decent return for him. I think trading either MacArthur or Kulemin would be a big mistake, and so I fully expect one of them will no longer be a Leaf at some point this afternoon.

Our whole 2nd line to me seems like they have way more current and future value to us than they would to any other team. Kulemin is hopefully just having a down year, MacA is a pretty good winger, especially for his cap hit, and Grabbo is unquestionably the best center the Leafs have.

Carey Price is legitimately worth over 5 million dollars. I would be willing to overpay him the difference to 7.5 (call it 1.5-2 million) and replace a guy like Army with a reasonable fourth liner contract.

The going rate for an elite goaltender at the moment seems to be in teh $6M to $6.5M range, give or take a bit depending if you have a longtailed contract (Lundqvist, Luongo). But with Rinne getting $7M (and that’s not even on the open market) it’s hard to say if $7.5M isn’t market value for Price.

Allaire fucks the media off so he has this Aloof reputation. Media hates being fucked off so they start to write slightly negative shit about him. Morons read media and allow the media to form their opinion. Leafs have 2 goalies that are sucking right now. Perfect storm of hate occurs.

Its that and the fact that because most media members aren’t goalies, and most media members have no idea how Allaire actually works (I swear he does all his training in a closed dark room so no one can see his methods) They assume things about him.

When I bring it up like “Well there’s a salary cap so they can’t spend any more than they do on players” he gets all confused looking and kind of goes “oh yeah okay”. To be fair, he’s been watching the Leafs since 1960 when he came to Canada so he has kind of a reason to be pissed at this team.

He [Burke] also explained that he’ll move any player who won’t participate within the community first chance he gets.
Makes one wonder if Liles active community service is part of the reason, that Burke extended him. And how active was Grabbo (or his past trades with Versteeg and Kaberle)?
Its also why he loves Luke.

That means a tonne to me. Being a sick kid in the hospital is horrible for the kid and in some ways worse for the parents (seing your kid suffer). The happiness that those visits bring the kids (and just as much, or more so, the happiness it brings the parents seeing their sick children so happy) is worth more than anything the Leafs could do as a hockey team.

The thing I hate about all this...
… much as I love trades… is the way it speeds up the rate of turnover amongst players. Seems like there’s less and less time to get to know a player, watch him through some bad times, then good. Which always makes success better, when it comes to people you “know” and have cheered on for a long time.
So it’s hard to think about some of the Leafs going. Schenn. That kid should be, maybe still could be, one of those Leaf-for-life guys. But….. maybe he gets dealt.
And more than anything, it would make it hard to see Grabbo or Kulie go. Man, Grabovski has absolutely played his guts out for this team. You have to love him. And while Kulie’s having an awful year, he just seems like 1/2 of the total package.
It’ll be hard to see them go, if they do.

The other thing is that, given the number of comments we’ll have in this thread, we don’t need nameless, baseless speculation. I’d take a bet with really lousy odds that the Leafs are going to make a trade before the day is out, so saying “The Leafs are going to make a trade” is just a stepping stone to patting yourself on the back.

Yeah. But if you also get control of North America, you have five armies to a three point defense, which can be increased to seven armies if you wrest control of South America… then slowly push through Europe and Africa – Domination.
So, apparently I can now be followed.. but no stalking. @alsonamedphil
Yes but you need to have that extra continent. Australia alone isn’t enough.
What you need to do is gain control of Australia and a foothold somewhere in NA. Then you use the extra men from Australia to fight your other war. Gain control and lock those places down. Then use a lancing attack to gain SA and Africa. Finally take whichever of Europe and Asia is less defended. Once you have enough attack the big defending armies and finally sweep up the remaining pockets.

Marlies won 6-1 against Hamilton yesterday.
Deschamps got 5 points . 19 points in 22 games. (He only had 7 points in 31 games with Syr)
Dupuis got 4 (wtf?) 18 points over 22 games.
The highlights are pretty good.

So while watching TSN go on about the potential for a Cory Schneider deal, they are going on about “If Luongo falters and you trade Schneider, is Eddie Lach gonna be able to step up” and I’m thinking “Are you really banking on Luongo faltering?” I mean, Schneider is well regarded and they’ll get a haul for him (Rightly or wrongly but that’s another story) but it seems like they are assuming that nothing comes back in a deal to help out the team and that it’s a pre made certainty that Luongo takes a shit. Or I just haven’t had my first coffee yet and am over thinking things

OT, and probably better discussed tomorrow, but: Rynnas is coming back from his post-concussion ECHL conditioning stint, and Owuya will go down so he can see a higher start count. But AHL Clear Day list maxes out at 2 goalies, and Owuya’s AHL SVP trounces Rynnas’. So you gotta go Scrivens/Owuya, right?
