MuddyInTheMiddle Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 NY Rangers get: Andreas Johnnson & Jeremy Bracco Toronto Maple Leafs get: Brady Skeij($1 million salary retained), Alexander Georgiev, & 3rd round pick This immediately boosts the Rangers depth up front in the top 9 while allowing them to deal from a position of strength(defense & goaltending). It also opens up a spot for the abundant incoming depth they have on the left side(Rykov, Hajek, Miller, Lunqvist, Roberston and maybe a switch to the left side for DeAngelo) while freeing up necessary money for DeAngelo, Fox, & Lingdren that was over-allocated to Trouba. On the other hand, Toronto starts to shore up their defense with nobody really signed past the end of the season besides Morgan Reilly, to also allow breathing room for some of their prospects to develop. Oh, and by the way they get a young developing goaltender who has the potential to grow into a starter if they feel Federick Andersen is not the long term answer. Prove me wrong that this trade is not a good deal for both sides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Most, except a select few, realize Skjei hasn't lived up to his contract, but this is close to giving him away and he's worth more than that. Especially with some of his salary retained to make his salary more commensurate with what he brings to the table. You could make an argument that Georgiev for Johnsson is a fair swap 1 for 1. Skjei/3rd for Bracco is highway robbery for Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Leafs dont need LHD. Plus they are in cap trouble. Including Skjei is not helping Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBrowningPI Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Johnsson seems like a smaller version of Buchnevich. And as someone else pointed out, Bracco is not a shoot first player and we have an abundance of them already. Hard pass on this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyInTheMiddle Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Leafs dont need LHD. Plus they are in cap trouble. Including Skjei is not helping Toronto. They literally do need LHD; there is not a single legitimate NHL LHD signed past the end of the season. It does not help their cap situation, but the salary retention makes the trade a wash salary wise while shoring up their #2 LHD for the next 4 seasons.

MuddyInTheMiddle Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 When I was typing this I embarrassingly confused Johnsson with Kasper Kapanen. My edited version of the trade is below: NY Rangers get: Kasperi Kapanen & Jeremy Bracco Toronto Maple Leafs get: Brady Skeij($1 million salary retained), Alexander Georgiev, & 3rd round pick This immediately boosts the Rangers depth up front in the top 9 while allowing them to deal from a position of strength(defense & goaltending).

Oh, and by the way they get a young developing goaltender who has the potential to grow into a starter if they feel Federick Andersen is not the long term answer.

They have Sandin and trash on the left. Skjei is a fit there, but they would be committing to Skjei instead of re-signing Muzzin or Barrie for next season. Not sure they view Skjei as a better option, but maybe they do. Edit: Forgot about Rielly. I think they go Rielly/Sandin/? and try to keep Barrie, rather than taking on Skjei.

MuddyInTheMiddle Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Reilly - Sandin - Dermott Sandin has 9 games of NHL experience; Dermott does not even have 2 full seasons of experience.

MuddyInTheMiddle Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Kapanen, sure. I just don't know why everyone here is obsessed with Bracco... I am certainly not; just more looking at this trade to balance out our prospect pool, which is very weak on the wings. Bracco is their 2nd best forward prospect, don't think my proposal gets you Nick Robertson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I'm not giving up on Skjei just yet. I know, I know...I make fun of him, and tell him to hit guys with his purse when we went there....but I think the kid has what it takes. I believe he's gonna be a late bloomer and he'll be a good player for us. Is he over paid, yeah....but I think he's going to turn into a solid player very soon. He's still learning. And by that I can see he's making progress; His anticipation of plays has been better this year. Still not tremendous, but better. He does have the talent and he's gaining the experince. Plus he's got his buddy next to him to learn from. I like Trouba's defensive style. He takes a lot of chances, but defensively he's pretty good. Skjei needs that time to get it...we paid for it, so fuck it...let's see him do it! If I were a competing GM, I wouldn't trade for Skjei's contract.

Dunny Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I would assume he would have already been discussed between the two in Georgiev discussions. Kerfoot doesn't interest me at all, I dunno why he's included with the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or let them keep Bracco and Dermott and send us Nylander... Relieve some cap space for them and they get pieces the need. Crap throw in Fast... Get one of their wingers. NOW. Getting anyone to believe Skjei is a 2nd pair D man is the issue. He's being paid as one. Just not living up to the contract. He HAS been better lately.

They probably should have kept Shattenkirk and prayed for his bounce back just so they could trade him to a desperate team. Coulda got some value... Ah well. Can't win em all.
