This reminds me the Leafs never brought in a cap guy to replace Pridham in the offseason.

Some notes here. Andrae's inclusion makes some sense here. Still miffed about the 2nd rounder. Especially with all the "nobody could offer anything close to Knies!" talk.

Didn't think to look at the before. Marchenko was placed in the "Tier 3: All-Star" section, with a rating of 3C (Nylander for comparison was in the same tier but given a 3A rating). Other forwards given a 3C were Keller, Point, Necas, Bratt, Scheifele, Bedard, Wilson, and B. Tkachuk. This was...

Funny thing I saw a post on reddit that said all 3 of Knies' GMs have tried to trade him (if you include the alleged Dubas deal that would have had him go to Chicago for Hagel).

You very likely remember former Lightning Nick Paul: Former sen too before that.

I think he's one of those guys that will turn the grit on when needed (playoffs and plays like when he ran over that one Ottawa player and fought Hischier come to mind), but he isn't really an everyday daunting power forward like Tom Wilson or something (his body would probably fall apart).

Knies for Marchenko I think should have been an even trade straight up basically. Lorentz for Woods is probably advantage Columbus. Woods has 1 additional year left on his deal and carries a $1.15mil higher cap hit. Woods has more of a track record with producing in the NHL though. Then we take...

Not actually thinking this would happen but in a world where the Leafs wanted to bring back the left winger Matthews arguably ever had the most chemistry with... Bunting-Matthews-Marchenko McKenna-Tavares-Nylander Cowan-Paul-Roslovic Duhaime-Sissons-Blueger

Small funny story, I had the GDT post ready to go this morning but held off on posting in case there was a minor roster change. Was half right I guess.

I wondered if we might swap Lorentz for another waived player, but figured it might be Tanev or Raddysh for the obvious reasons. I used to like Miles Wood back when he was a Devil, we'll see if there's anything left there now. Giving up Andrea and a 2nd feels pretty meh here. Again I felt like...

They should be the ones getting some kind of sweetener for taking Elvis.

It will get REALLY awkward for Knies if this trade doesn't get fully past the finish line too.

Knies, Woll, Benoit, and McMann were a friendship group within the team that I guess ended up being known for often going out for dinners together while on the road.

Yeah that's basically my only trepidation here. Maybe it's because his name has been in trade rumours for so long now but I've basically accepted that Knies would likely be used as a trade piece eventually. Just figured it'd be for a centre or defenceman.

I know he just had surgery. If the expectation is he won't play this season then no harm in adding to our LTIR fund. Otherewise, weird.

It's basically Knies or Cowan+Danford+COL 1st and Columbus takes Joshua for cap reasons. One makes sense for them, the other not so much. So yeah I'd be expecting Knies here. We'll see maybe I guess.

If it's for Knies, I'm not a huge fan. But that's only because of Knies' contract, I think Marchenko is the better player. If it's for a bunch of stuff that isn't Knies, I'm all for it.
