Eklund: Maple Leafs and Hayes, Flyers and D? Habs, Duchene, Simmonds, more....

foist

Hayes would be a yuuuuuge upgrade. If there's one thing the Leafs need it's more C depth.

Poile, if you bet the farm on a rental player...we're through. It's not me, it's you.

I think it'll be ok... Nashville can just trade Turris for Duchene.

Cause after Matthews, Tavares, Kadri our depth at C is weak.

No we haven't. (E4)

Ah stack up the 4th line. I get it now. Hayes is a realgud pro plays heavy. Puts his foot on the gas and plays a full sixty. Keeps comin' at ya. Good man.

I heard from a high ranking league source that the Leafs are signing Rick Vaive then trading him to the Oilers for Paul Coffey.

I heard the Habs were actually thinking of signing Plekanec again to trade him to the Leafs for a 2nd. Is that considered a sign and trade?

Leafs lost their shirt with that trade and gained a turtle neck.

Feel the same way. Fourth line goals in the play-offs can be huge to swing a series. I keep hoping the Goat will some how magically acquire rocket boosters. But like I said earlier, at the deadline, I just hope Dubas doesn't tinker too much with the roster. Making a pitch for Quaider would be great.

Why would the leafs want Hayes they got this in the bag obviously

Who wants 19 guys from the Minnesota Wild? Any takers? PLEASE! Otherwise we are going to put Twins jerseys on them and see if they can hit a (frank)ing ball!

The only one I want is out long term with a bad injury

I hope Colorado gets him.

So that when he wears the home uniform, he can be called Purple Hayes.

Komarov for Granlund with 50% retained

🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️where to start🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️.
Leafs won't go after Hayes. Yes Kadri is concussed however Nylander did an alright job at centre last night. Furthermore Hayes is not the answer as Leafs need grit (Hayes is soft, Leafs have enough softies) especially if they are to get past Boston. I see the leafs making an attempt for Smith Pelley (off waivers) or going for McQuade.

Spurgen to Philly?. Mmm Although Minnesota GM said all are available does Philly really neeed another D man? Spurge will be a UFA after next year. Love joy makes no sense. He's a UFA at seasons end and why would Jersey trade with a hated rival? Plus again does Philly need another D and most likely wont make the playoffs so yes Lovejoy makes ZERO sense 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Stall to the Habs? Pointless !! Marc already said he's not interested in Rentals. Secondly it's almost certain Stall wont waive his no trade, plus even tho Minnesota GM says all players are available doubt Stall moves until the last minute on deadline day (if at all) and if so it's to a legit contender.Minnesota is still in the hunt.

Simmonds to either Tampa, Nashville, or Boston 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ That's 3week old news.

Panarin stays in Columbus? Maybe but who really cares this is not new, this like the Simmonds comment is old news🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

EK has his E1-E5 system. My 🤦🏻‍♂️system is very similar.

I hope Colorado gets him.

Be better if the Avs got his brother, Jimmy Purple Hayes.

I'm more worried about Philly and the D

Leafs will need Gudas to deal with Kucherov in the Conference championship series.

- Alexzanki

Yeah, I'm worry about the Leafs not getting enough D too.
