Trade deadline moves

I'm wondering if anything he's ever predicted came true.

He has/had a source within the Flyers at one point, so he was somewhat accurate when it came to minor deals they were involved with, and, weirdly enough, he was often the first to report waiver claims around the league for while. As for the rest, someone did an analysis a few years ago, and his accuracy rate was around 3% - which is roughly the same as random chance. So, yeah, not great. He's no Code (at least, immediately after the 2005 lockout Code).

Ah, he's a semi-screened slapshot from the point.

One of my fondest TMLFans memories was when a bunch of us registered for accounts on his forum/site and started posting there for a day or two.

Confirmed.

Gudas for 2nd + Zaitsev + 3rd
Jensen for Brown + 3rd + Hainsey

Reilly - Gudas
Muzzin - Jensen
Gardiner - Dermott

I'm seriously wondering why anyone would take that horrendous Zaitsev contract. We might have to eat some salary on that one.
Eating salary...would it be worth it? 5 more years after this one. I think you may have to include a pick as cap money is extremely important moving forward.

Essentially that's what the 3rd is for.  It's Gudas for a 2nd, then a 3rd to take Zaitsev.  Remember, Zaitsev isn't a true, useless anchor.  He's just not worth his contract.  He could be a useful player for Philly, especially if he's used in an offensive role.
 
So there are no rumors?  The trade deadline is tomorrow.  What do you guys think?  Is Dubas going to do anything?  I will say that it sounds like teams have the book on the Leafs and all they need to do is play a hard physical game with them.  I do have my concerns with Boston seeing as they are our most likely first round opponent.  We may be able to beat them with skill but we may also walk away from the series as walking wounded (if we can even get past them).  Muzzin seems like our only player with a physical edge.  It's kind of impossible to re-tool the team for the playoffs now.  And who knows, the Leafs might just do ok.  Babcock's gotta teach these guys to keep their head up and avoid the big hits.  I hope Kadri is ok.
 
I think right now it's as much about not having the assets/prospect depth to make a trade as anything else. They don't have their 1st, they've traded two of probably their top 6 or 7 prospects, they can't really any money past this year...I don't think you want to trade any more first or second rounders and so you're left with pretty minor upgrades available

Dovetails nicely with the Trevor Moore call up (and Marlies reinforcements rolling in today).

Those recalls likely had more to do with playoff eligibility.

Oh that's today too? Why did I think it was lined up with the AHL trade deadline?
 
If Leafs do anything you have to think it would be a current roster player that needs to go the other way. Brown? Hainsey? Gardiner ? Zaitsev (please)
 
Former Soo Greyhound and "guy all of Leafs Twitter wanted in 2017" Colin Miller has been healthy scratched a couple of times in a row now by Vegas. Wonder if the Leafs try and see if there's anything there. His contract (3 years after this one at $3.875mil) would of course be tough to fit in.

McPhee is a gm that isn't shy about making deadline deals and even making bad deadline deals so I'd be all over Dubas talking to him.
 
I think Vegas is in on Mark Stone, so there's maybe a way we can help that along for Miller to come this way, while one of our contracts goes to help Ottawa reach the cap floor (Zatisev, since they're shopping Ceci).

I have no idea how the cap is going to work next year? Fan590 has Kapanen's cap hit coming in at 5M-ish, Johnsson at "at least 3M".  I cannot predict anything that happens with the Leafs today. I guess we just trade from an area of strength for an area of weakness and try to shed Zaitsev/Brown in off the season?

If the sens acquire Zaitsev I'll vow to start capitalizing the s.

The Fan's absurd. No way Kapanen comes in over even $4mil. It'll be a 1 or 2 year deal.
