Does it really seem more likely that they don't do a roster shakeup (new UFA signings, trades) vs doing one? I don't think Barabanov is enough to make a difference, and doing the same thing over and over again very rarely leads to different results.

I get the logic behind Dermott and Johnsson here, however Dubas doesn't seem to be a "wait and see" type guy.

That is the one thing that would make this roster obsolete. Dubas has never once had a quiet off-season.
Kessel trade
JT signing
Kadri trade

I think he will try to do something (maybe around Kerfoot and getting a different 3C somehow?) but as the roster is now I think this is a safe projection

The trade I am biggest on right now is:

Kerfoot, Dermott, 2nd ---> Florida for Weegar, Wallmark, 4th, (picks are kind of throw ins here to balance)

What are your opinions on this? I've done it a number of times but I don't recall you commenting on it.

I have and my only real issue is the picks. Toronto should be getting the 2nd and giving the 4th. If Wallmark can be a serviceable 3C it makes a good deal of sense

What do you think about the Dermott + Kerfoot for Wallmark + Weegar trade base that's going around? Specifically Weegar as an option. Everything I've seen on him I like, but some people aren't as high on him. Do you have anything for him?

I am worried about the age difference but if the hype is real (had a very good season last year analytically) then i'd be for it. Worried about moving Mitz as I still really believe in him being top-4.
Also maybe read the whole thread

I know, I started typing and then walked away for a minute and when I finished up and hit submit the two previous comments showed up. It was just kind of like welp, don't I look stupid now.

Do you happen to have a chart on Weegar?

This year I can see Dubas' big summer trade is dumping a high price 3rd line player (take your pick; Kerfoot, Johnsson, Kapanen, Mikheyev or 5th Dman Dermott) to Draft up into the 1st Rd or add more 2nd Rd'ers. Need to continue to restock those shelves to stay a perennial Cup contender like Shanny dreams of. Those 8 players in the 5thh, 6th and 7th Rd. may produce 1-2 Ahl'ers.

The Leafs are trying to win now. Getting worse doesn't help us and our mid-late round drafting is more than making up for our lack of 1sts. The only reason why the cupboards are this bare is because of the Hunter drafts where we got almost nothing out of them. Dubas drafts look like we might have 5 hits a draft (to get a player that looks like he might have a shot at the roster in some way).

Dubas will 100% gonna do something wild in the off season, gotta keep his streak alive.

I agree, but not a good player for picks type trade.

I would place Mikey's value at 1.4 million, just because of the compensation salary standards (1.4 = 3rd Rd comp). I know last summer a couple RFA's got their deals by basing it against the compensation (notably Aho) and Marner got the four 1st Rd'ers signing value of 10.6.

Does CJ say anything good? On one hand I want to see if hes got anything good to say and I've got nothing else to do but on the other hand I dont want to have to listen to everyone else.

Yes. Not as explosive as last time but he has always been good on SDP. Show with CJ is always a banger.
This might also be of interest to you

Chris Johnston on the SDP. Going to tweet out some points that he said without taking away any clicks from @Steve_Dangle! https://t.co/ZYCIHGxi6v
