Ah, yes they do. Not often but they do happen.
Winnipeg and LA Kings for Dubois
I think the Matthew Tkachuk, trade might of been one.Ah, no, they don’t.
Sorry bud but Dubois was an RFA, not a pending UFA.
Tkachuk did not do a sign and trade as a pending UFA either.
Leafs would’ve won if Stolarz didn’t get injured, and if the passenger wasn’t being a passenger.
Woll was more than fine. The Panthers would have blown Stolarz out of the net eventually. They knew all of his weaknesses having had taken shots on him all of last year. Stolarz was on the way down statistically anyway, his injury was a terrible event but he wouldn’t have won the series by himself. There were multiple games where the Leafs couldn’t score more than 1 goal. Unless Stolarz pitches literal shutouts or starts scoring goals, his absence wasn’t the reason they lost.

Huberdeau had over 100pts and was traded.
Tkachuk did a sign and trade…he had 1 year left as an RFA
Exactly what should occur with Marner….do right by the Leafs….allow them to get something back for himEggsBenny

Leafs would’ve won if Stolarz didn’t get injured, and if the passenger wasn’t being a passenger.Agreed. Bigger in net and better puck handling….leafs would have won the series.
Anyone who suggest the florida would have owned him because he was a former teammate is just an idiot. Stolarz is a much different goalie than last year.Agree. The free agent market is thin and it would cost more assets to bring in a center via trade. If JT will sign cheap, then sign him, and have him be a C/W like Stamkos. Ideally, he is your slightly overpaid 3C and special teams guy and not an overwhelmed slow 2C who gets caved every game.
But yeah, JT wasn’t why the Leafs lost……he’s also part of why they didn’t win, but you can’t hang the loss on him alone.
then why would he take a discount knowing the market is thin? out of the goodness of his heart? many teams will be calling his agent for his services.

Specifically because he does want to be here. It was reported that as long as the offer is in the ballpark they can work to get it to where it’s fair. If the Leafs come in at $1m or Tavares comes in at $8m, then they probably don’t get something done – but the general feeling was that something centered around a $4-5m AAV as a starting point would be good. People will talk him at $2m which is preposterous and some will talk about him at $7.5m – which is probably where the market would value him (from Stamkos setting the bar).
I’m not convinced JT will stay. Like Stamkos, I think he wants to stay and is saying all of the right things, but ultimately it’s up to Leafs management to make a fair offer. If that fair offer feels insultingly low, then he tests the market. Despite his age and warts, somebody will throw $4-5m at him easily, and maybe as high as $7.5m like Stamkos.
I used to work in management at a big box retailer and I was recruited by a rival big box. They offered better pay and better benefits, so I jumped ship. Well, I found out pretty quick that the other place was a clusterfuck. The managers were all either incompetent, dicks, or both. Most of my coworkers were joyless and hated their jobs and it showed in their performance. I hated it. I regretted my decision because the pay bump was too small to compensate for the additional suck the job required. I left a year later.
If JT really loves Toronto, he’ll stay. We’ll see. I think it’s a coin flip.

time will tell do not see him taking 4-5 million. will see how much the leafs value his play. Can easily see a team going 9/10 for 3 years. Know would he except that from a non contending team?
