I wish player movement was as fun in the NHL as it is in the MLB and NBA

I think you have to go for it.

You have to be a good team to win in the MLB. There is no being above average for 5 years and hoping for the best.

Jacob Middleton is a headline.

Would love to see a few Mantha/Vrana like trades this TDL.

Post on Jays Reddit says the reason the Jays haven't traded for Ramirez is because they want both Manoah and Moreno.

How was their record in the 2015-2016 season without Mathews in the line up?

Uh?
Look at that roster and then look at the current.

That's not happening and no one would offer that, Jays have lots of pieces including Kirk, Biggio and tons of pitching. Ramirez a switch hitter. Still need another Lefty bat IMO

Serious question on Middleton, he's a LD so where does he fit?

Is he better than Buzzin Muzzin? He fights, hits but not familiar with his talent level.

Rielly, Brodie
Middleton, Lyubushkin
Muzzin, Lilly
Sandin, Schenn

????

But also yes, be cool to see some fun moves like Mantha deal at the TDL for sure


Edit: from all I've read here and other places, this looks like the best set up to me:

Rielly, Brodie
Muzzin, Mayfield or Soucy
Sandin, Lebush

Campbell
Varly or MAF

Then go add grit to the bottom 6 or 2LW if $ is there after they dump Mrazek

You’d have to give someone you really don’t want to give. Maybe not Moreno and Manoah, but one of them plus other pieces. Not impossible to do if it puts you over the top

Not better than Muzzin imo. I hope Muzzin returns to form but even if he is what he was this season instead of last season he still is a guy who can handle 2nd pairing mins...just can't carry a pairing like he was.

https://twitter.com/TheLe...tatus/1503922638640537606

Seems like he is a guy who would dominate defensively on the 3rd pairing but could also play on the 2nd pairing if Muzzin is faltering even more.

To me the main reason they would want him is his 750K cap hit, which means they could add more to the team after they add him. Also if he plays less than 17 games for the remainder of the season he remains an RFA which just adds in the factor of Leafs being able to send him away for an asset at the draft if they do not intend on signing him.

If you trade him for Dermott and a 2nd/3rd then maybe you can get that pick back at the draft.

It would probably depend on whether the Leafs prefer Menoah or Nate Pearson. I would think Moreno is a no go, but they could move Kirk, Biggio and other pitching.

Makes sense.


Graves with Miles Wood
Soucy
Mayfield with Varly
Middleton
Schenn with Motte
Chara


So one deal out of those options would be acceptable to most around here it seems.

Something that starts with Kirk and Biggio doesn’t get it done. Are they ready to roll the dice? And what does this mean from Groshens?

I like Middleton because I am on the side of trying to upgrade the other positions as well.

I don't think fans would like the Middleton price but like I said, if they play their cards right and keep his RFA rights they could retain some value.

I don't love Soucy because of his cap hit.

edit: He has to play 17 games or more to retain his RFA status

Probably. But it'd be really cool if they still got him. Just not for those 2 guys.

I'm old ..what does purple devil face mean?

Groshans is the obvious prospect to dangle now. Ramirez probably costs 2 elite prospects plus some stuff.

Pearson and Groshans....?

Martinez and Groshans ...?

Catching depth can get into the mix too.

I read the suggestion - and it is by Buck Martinez. Menoah is about to be an ace and Moreno is the absolute top prospect in the system. Jays can afford to give more than they gave up to Oakland for Chapman. That doesn't include anything about being taken out back to the shed.

Agree, the Jays will give up Pearson before they include Manoah.

Agreed. They badly need another lefthanded bat in the order.
