ParticipantCody Bellinger back to the Yanks, 5yr/$162.5M.
Jays are out of options for a big move,
but there are still some options out there to improve.
Not really.

ParticipantI’m not sure the exact broadcaster conversation you’re referencing, but the real talking point is next year when Hildebeast is no longer waiver exempt. Do you pull the trigger now on a tendie trade when you’ll get a better return, or do you wait to see how things shake down over the next few months and make a trade in the offseason or next year when other teams know you HAVE to make a trade.
Whatever happens, I know some people will complain either way.
It makes absolutely no sense to trade any goalies right now. Woll and Stolarz are both frequently on the LTIR and Hildeby is still waive exempt.
Stolarz, with his injury, poor numbers and contract, is worth next to nothing. Woll is their most valuable goalie so why trade him unless you want to tank? And Hildeby is worth next to nothing right now given how few games he’s played with mixed results over the span of his NHL career.
Best move is to get Stolarz back into action, hope he improves his value and then jettison his contract when he’s improved his value.

ParticipantI think a team would claim him.
Waiver exempt I believe

It’s going to be difficult to make a claim when he is waiver exempt.

Participantbut he’s over 25, doesn’t fit the mold.
For a rebuild, absolutely he does not. But in the offseason, the Leafs were trying to replace Marner on the PP and add a top-six winger with playoff, Cup winning experience. And he played under Berube when he won the Cup. He’s got an obvious connection. Tarasenko signed for 4.5 AAV. Leafs wasted AAV on Maccelli.
At the same time, if the team still sucked, Tarasenko becomes a valuable trade chip you can move at the deadline for a 1st or 2nd round pick. Maccelli isn’t worth shit. Treliving’s talent evaluation skills are retarded.
