EK could take his 🇸🇪 pal (37) under his wing and mentor him
- mr.sir

Mentor him on how to be a whole 50 points worse on +/-?!?

I kid, I kid.

The only Ek you're getting is Eklund.

Upgrade over Holl.

Even @ 8 mil - that’s 16 in Riles & EK..

Not sure about that …

First it's "too much money on the forwards" so if it happened it's spread more out and now it's "too much money in dmen". WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT?!

Valid point, but 56ish of 83ish million for six players is a bit of a problem no matter how you slice it.

16 mil for a pair on the backend .. the names better be a Niedermeyer & Pronger and I’m not sure they’d even be worth it…

Dreger on Sportscentre: “Toronto would be appealing to the Ryan Reaves camp simply because this guy has so much personality on and off the ice, so it’s not just about that salary you are earning as an NHL player, maybe there is some financial dividends off the ice as well”.

$16M for two defenders that don't really defend, yikes...

“If we get the best defenceman of a generation who’s still in his prime, I’m gonna be pissed!”

Lol.

"Leafs need better defense"- You

Karlsson is arguably the worst defensive player in the history of the sport.

Pick a side and stick to it.

Niedermayer would be worth it himself.

Love to get Accari and Reaves up front and Schenn on the back end.

Only way Karlsson works is if we move Brodie and Murray to account for it.

THAT also requires us getting a goalie be it Sammy or someone there.

Kampf still is baffling. Great to get Holmberg though

If Bertuzzi is available the leafs should be going after him...

Agreed, but he's likely re-signing in Boston.

Trade Timmins as part of trade.

- GreatGigInTheSky

Isn't he retired and likely out of shape?

(I'll see myself out)

Karlson is way too soft. Yeah I said it!! All he does is give you a better regular season. We need playoff grit! Karlson will fold in the playoffs, way too soft!! Hard Pass.

I give him a month working out and he'll probably be the best in the league again.

The best hockey he's ever played was in the playoffs in the series against the Habs when he killed the guy with that hit.

Pierre Dorion just spoke with us in Nashville.

He says right now they are not close to a DeBrincat trade. They have not granted DeBrincat camp the chance to talk contract with another team yet.

Once they get close to a deal, that will happen.

But they’re not there yet.

That blueline doesn't win a Cup.

Especially if they have Samsonov in net.

He has been fantastic every playoff run he has had

From those I’ve talked to and trust, the consensus seems to be that a #Preds offer of 15, 24 and Askarov may not be enough to pry the No. 5 pick away from Montreal

Samsonov was hurt.

Also, look up the Leafs defense stats last year.

Sounds like the Flyers have been aggressively trying to move Travis Sanheim the last day or so. The ask includes a 1st, but so far teams have balked.

Think a team would be stupid to trade a 1st for him.

I’ve read that he’s atrocious defensively and the Bruins got badly outscored with him on the ice.
