A case is slowly being made to trade Marner although I thing he stays and extends.
The plan to take Leafs to the next level is pretty clear. Losing key player over the years has really prevented leafs from winning cups.
The first big mistake was trading Kadri the next major mistake was letting Hyman walk. Those are two pieces the Toronto just haven’t replaced highly skilled scorers to back up MATTHEWS MARNER NYLANDER and TAVARES
the only support we have for the big four are Domi and Bertuzzi those two don’t drive enough scoring even they play on a line with Matthews the greatest scorer since Teemu Selanne way back in 92-93.
But this offseason Toronto will finally have the cap space to get the right secondary scoring fix defence and add a goalie . I’m looking for the trade to bring Jacob Markstrom to Toronto.
2.) 29 Apr 2024 07:35:23
@DM you keep saying they need more top 6 forwards. If you're making 11+ on a team, you shouldn't need help. That's 4/ 6 of the top 6. You can't blame fringe players for them not producing.
3.) 30 Apr 2024 02:17:29
Two firsts and two prospects for Tippett? Yikes. Watch any hockey?
4.) 30 Apr 2024 16:48:05
Losing Hyman, yes. Kadri, at his new contract, no.

Marner strikes me as a drinker. utah doesn't seem all that likely.
4.) 30 Apr 2024 09:45:23
When Marner is told that changes must be made he will see the writing on the wall.
Ask him which clubs he might be interested in playing for and with luck there will be 2 or 3 that he would agree to a trade with.
If he were to agree to go to Utah he would become the face of the franchise instead of sharing it with Matthews, Nylander and Tavares.
He would become the straw that stirs the drink in Salt Lake City which would feed his ego.
To Utah: Marner and Liljegren
To Leafs: Keller and McBain.

Not sure that hits Ducks' timeliness.
If Mitchy is moved I see it as a rental to a contender, or a middling team that wants to take the next step. Something like Yotes now they have a real owner.

If they want to give us Keller for that package, I'd be ok with that alone to be honest. Keller is a stud on a good deal.

NO NO NO NO
Let’s think this through suppose leafs get swept Boston! I don’t think they get swept but I think Toronto lose series.
So what will offseason be Leafs have a lot of money to play with and even more if 5 players don’t return
Do not return
Bertuzzi
Domi
Jarnknok
Kampf
Brodie
Return bigger roles
McMann
Robertson
Holmberg
Cowen
Minten
Niemela
UFA POSSBLE TARGETS NOT SIGNING ALL A FEW
Leafs score some players off this list
Montour
Peace
Hanifin
Demelo
Lindholm
Stamkos
Marchessault
Matt Duchane
Teravainen
If Bertuzzi would take less money on a long deal I bring him back. Domi money could stay same on long term deal I bring hi, back as well . Domi takes 500 k haircut on long term deal all the better
Lines
Bertuzzi Matthews Domi

I’m not sure but I think you are disagreeing with me? ?.
3.) 21 Apr 2024 23:30:24
I guess Woll is going to play 82 games?
Lol
So you have added Stamkos and Pesce and no second goalie
And that defence looks atrocious
Looks like a winning formula DM???.
4.) 22 Apr 2024 01:56:18
Hanifin has already resigned with Vegas.
Stamkos 34
Duchene. 33
Marchessault 33
DeMelo 31
Montour. 30
Teravainen. 30 in September
Pesce. 30 in November
Lindholm. 30 in December
These are their ages at signing and they will all want a minimum of 3 - 5 or more years of term
Perhaps a Pesce or DeMelo (my preference would be Matt Roy or Sean Walker) on defense but the rest I would pass on.
I could see Domi returning at the right price but the money Bertuzzi will want should be directed towards improving the defense.
I agree that Kampf ($2.45), Brodie ($5), and Jarnkrok ($2.1), need to go.
I would also like to see the departure of Reaves ($1.35)

MPH is not even close
1.) 16 Mar 2024 13:44:32
Brown can't play top pair. I think option 2 with either Tanev or Montour in that spot seems the most likely assuming Boosh and Edmundson want to come back and at less than what they were making.
2.) 16 Mar 2024 17:20:22
Option 5:
Leafs trade Nylander and Lily to NYR for K’andre Miller, Trochek and Goodrow
Off-season sign Roy around 5.5M and Desharnais at 1.5M
Rielly Roy
Miller McCabe
Benoit Desharnais.
3.) 16 Mar 2024 19:41:32
Clarky still crying about Nylander?
You do know it's not going to change a thing whether you keep crying everyday for the rest of the year or throughout his 8 year term.
Might as well just accept it.
I used to cry about Marner's outlandishly overpaid contract, but realized it wasn't changing anything, so I've moved on myself.
It's time to let it go brother!
4.) 17 Mar 2024 22:35:26
@Clarky why would NY agree to that trade? It's a fleecing.
5.) 18 Mar 2024 01:10:17
Yes Tags I’m making trades on what I’d think would make the team better. Didn’t say anything about Nylander just put him in a trade. Is it gonna happen? No obviously, just like 99% of the trades on here but everyone is putting their opinion on what changes this team needs to be a contender. And this is me dealing with it, looking for ways out of Tre’s mistakes (again) on a Leafs website is how I handle it. ?.

Geez, considering how many props I throw out on this site, if I left everytime someone disagreed with them, I would be around 500X by now is my guess. At least 300X just for the ones you disagreed with Mph. lol
Merry Christmas to you too. See ya in the New Year.
22 Dec 2023 01:00:39
Every time Buffalo comes over the blue line I think 50 50 chance a goal. That's how low I think of Samsievenov. He is moving way too much and therefore is out of position. Not square to the puck at all.
Waive him. Recall hildeby
1.) 22 Dec 2023 11:31:05
I wouldn't call up Hildebeast. Let him have at least a full year on the Marlies before doing that.
Sammy looks shaken. Not sure what can be done at this point to replace him unless, as you say, Hildebeast is called up though.
2.) 22 Dec 2023 12:46:59
It’s either bring up Hildebeast or pick up a goalie. Not fair to the team when you put this guy in net like that. Makes great saves and then lets in a pooper. That should be his last game as a Leaf. I get everyone is saying protect Hildeby but my question is from what? Getting a couple starts in the NHL as a back up while Woll is hurt. Give him a start or two while Woll is out, what are we protecting him from? Opportunity? If he has a bad outing, give him a chance to rebound but rarely the kid will get shell shocked with pucks because the team will play much better in front of him. They always protect their young goalies. A small sample size of tue NHL can’t do anything but help the kid. See how hard you have to work to make it to this level.
3.) 22 Dec 2023 15:21:02
At this point, send Sammy down and bring up Hildeby as a backup. As much as the team wants to support Samsonov, they know he is costing them games. The team stunk last night, but I don't think they would have stunk as bad if Samsonov wasn't so brutal. If someone claims him, so be it. Does anyone of us think Sammy is getting re-signed? I can't imagine anyone does, so if he goes now, he goes now and take the cap space. Even sending him down saves a little cap space with Hildeby called up. Woll played some NHL games as well before he was ready. In general, it is actually easier for the goalies when in the NHL than AHL because the play is way more predictable defensively.
Samsonov is a distraction. If he goes down, gets his game together, you call him back up later and send Hildeby back down. I think it would actually do Samsonov good to be away from the NHL pressure.
I said this a few time before and even at the time when Tree chose to take Sammy to arbitration, but Tree deserves credit for taking Sammy to arbitration and not bowing to pressure from the fan base to get Sammy signed to term. I didn't like the Klingberg signing or the term on Reaves, but his other moves have been solid.
Let's face it, Dubas would have signed Samsonov to $4M+ and with term. He was going to with Campbell as well, but got outbid.
4.) 22 Dec 2023 16:43:36
My only issue with calling the beast up is leafs have a tendency to not protect young goalies and have really poor showings.
I think sparks posted a shut out in his first game but got lit up for 6 or 7 by the oilers his next game. Kaskisuo they played awful for. Even woll they had a rough first game for him, he was just up to the pressure.
5.) 22 Dec 2023 19:12:33
Randy. I get that. My feeling is that playing Hildeby about 4 or 5 games until Woll gets back isn't likely to hurt his development. If he plays well, that's a massive bonus and if he is needed for the playoffs because of injury, he has some experience. Keeping Samsonov in the net, doesn't seem to benefit anyone. imo.

When a coach gets verbal to the media about his team and even calls out specific players…he’s on his last legs
Just my observation
If they get bumped in the first round
He will not be returning
Again
Just my observation
Keep posting on here gang
Enjoy the reads.

Keefe does this all the time
He is trying to ruin Robertson
Benoit should be in over the useless Brodie
Mr non chalant at the end of the third
He’s played like that most of the year yet Keefe still adores him
This is Keefe
He has his favourites and will play them over others s who are obviously better.
13 Mar 2024 22:19:15
Robertson skates 3 miles to accomplish something that takes 10 feet…
Package him with 1st 2024 Minten Abruzzese
Buchnevich at 50 percent and Toropchenko.
