Leafs rumours 3

05 Jan 2025 23:08:57
Tor: Marner

Buf: dahlin


1 for 1.

06 Jan 2025 01:26:27
Wow!
Yup!
Dahlin: $11M
Marner: $13 - $14M
As good as Marner is, a #1 defenseman for a #1 winger is a trade I would make.
Dahlin is also 3 years younger than Marner.

06 Jan 2025 01:50:08
No way.

06 Jan 2025 02:52:15
Leafs get mugged.

06 Jan 2025 20:29:17
Dahlin is overrated. I’d say no even though I believe in building from the D/ G out. We don’t need another Rielly, we want to get rid of the one we have.

06 Jan 2025 22:50:01
Who replaces marner's numbers? Do you just want to subtract those numbers off the team? Terrible idea.

07 Jan 2025 14:10:33
Id Dahlin was half his contract, maybe. But I wouldn't want Dahlin at $11M anymore than I want Marner at $14M.

05 Jan 2025 22:51:04
As Leaf Fans, which option would you prefer in the Marner saga.

#1. Toronto trades Marner before July 1st
To
Utha for Clayton Keller, 1st, 2nd, 3rd (Utha offers Marner $14 million x 7 yrs.)

#2, Toronto lets Marner walk to free agency and signs Sam Bennett and Brad Marchand

#3, Toronto signs Marner to $13.1 million for 8 yrs

What would you decide?

05 Jan 2025 23:30:27
Take 1st trade and still have enough to sign Bennet.

05 Jan 2025 23:55:57
I?
Why would Utah do that?
Why wouldn’t they just sign him July 1

2?
Marchand is washed
Bennett is overrated

3?
He won’t sign for less than 14 million.

06 Jan 2025 01:28:12
RFL - it would be a sign and trade, leafs have the 8yr option. But, If were losing Marner, why not just trade him at the deadline for a kings ransom. Then sign Bennet and ekblad.

06 Jan 2025 02:15:28
Why Mr. Positive REfill,
Because Columbus and Chicago will be waiting July 1st,

Marchand and Bennett are not washed up, Bennett is 28 and Marchand has 40 points this season.

Yes Money bags Marner, wants $14 and Toronto will not and should not pay him more than Matthews.

06 Jan 2025 08:58:43
Ideally trading marner makes the most sense but I don’t see him waiving or he would of been open to it this summer… idk if Keller is the right target but I like the picks. My opinion is they let him walk take the cap space and get two three quality players. I’d take Bennett but not as a centre as his face off numbers are not good but I think he would still be a valuable player as a winger. All in all I think the leafs do the thing we kinda don’t want to see happen and resign and overpay for marner.

06 Jan 2025 17:20:14
Park
Marchand has 32 points and is 36 and is showing his age this season
Bennett is 28, so what’s your point?
He sucks at face offs
40-45 point player

Yup you know Best.

06 Jan 2025 22:16:52
Marner is not going to be traded. Period.

07 Jan 2025 00:01:21
Ckps is right
I really think they are going to resign him and Tavares.

05 Jan 2025 20:37:31
Anaheim trades Ryan Strome 25% retained

Leafs trade
Hildebrand
Robertson
Kampf
Future 2nd

05 Jan 2025 21:30:14
I think we can do this without moving hildeby.

05 Jan 2025 22:49:05
Of course hrenklin
Maybe they should take Murray
Lol.

06 Jan 2025 01:30:05
If Ducks agree?

05 Jan 2025 19:44:48
Tor: dewar, 2025 5th

Sea: tanev (50%)

This move is to strengthen the bottom 6, tanev would shine with Lorenz

Dewar is a young RFA, and the 5th is a small sweetner.

05 Jan 2025 20:23:37
Lol
I’m sure the kraken would jump at that
Especially retaining

Get real hrenklin.

06 Jan 2025 01:31:28
Can’t see Kraken retaining anything for Dewar and a 5th.

05 Jan 2025 07:04:05
Leafs
Pettersson

Canucks
Rielly
Kampf
Minten
1st 2027

05 Jan 2025 12:10:09
Like it but we got to find a way to keep minten outta that deal.

05 Jan 2025 13:10:52
Doesn’t get it done. I believe canucks more willing to get rid of Miller than Peterson. Rumours are Rangers. Zibanejad. Similar contracts and same age both need a new home.

05 Jan 2025 13:38:12
These are similar contracts
What’s your handle? Blowhard? That fits

Rumours are they are looking for a dman and want a Center back
I’m giving them 2 centres and a first also


Nice try though in trying to dispel my post.

05 Jan 2025 15:47:04
Leafs can’t afford to trade Reilly unless a decent D comes back. Benoit sucks. A D core with Myers, Timmons, and Benoit all playing is scary as hell.

05 Jan 2025 18:37:15
Rielly has been bad. But Pettersson is everything people say about Marner in the playoffs. If it's Miller maybe make the trade and give a bit more.

05 Jan 2025 05:51:52
Off season

Leafs trade Domi Jarnknok Kampf

Duicks trade 3rd round pick

Leafs will have to find money for

Marner Knies Tavares


Cowen and Minton are coming this team is getting ready to roll

05 Jan 2025 13:08:01
They will have $30mil next season in cap space if it goes up to the minimum of $92.4. But they r saying it could go as high as $94-95mil. Jarnkrok is LTIR and wont be back this season. Domi is going nowhere. Kampf, Robertson, Timmons Holmberg and Reaves are all the expendable options. I don’t think u need to dump salaries at this point cause there is no guarantee you r signing marner. Tavares and Knies will get deals but Johnny is getting something in the range of $5-$6mil 3-4years. Knies will either get a bridge deal in the $6-7milfor 3-4year. You still have plenty of room to sign marner if the price is right. But if a deal doesn’t get done b4 free agency he walk to higher bidders that’s a guarantee.

06 Jan 2025 01:37:55
Jarnkrok ($2.1) has another year on his contract.
Kampf ($2.4) has 2 more years on his contract.
Domi ($3.75) has 3 more years on his contract

Not sure that Ducks would want to add $8.25M to their salary cap for that much term plus give up a 3rd round pick?

05 Jan 2025 04:07:44
Kraken
Robertson
Kampf
Timmins
Niemela

Leafs
McCann
Move him to Center

Knies Matthews Domi
Pacioretty Tavares marner
McMann McCann McNylan(der)
Lorentz Dewar Reaves
Holmberg

Sign klingberg
League minimum

06 Jan 2025 01:40:24
To think, McCann was a Leaf until Dubas chose to protect Justin Holl in the expansion draft and leave McCann exposed for the Kraken to claim.
One of at least a dozen terrible decisions by Dubas during his 5 year reign as Leafs GM.

07 Jan 2025 00:04:35
I cringe every time I hear the name Dubas
He’s destroying Pittsburgh
Good luck to them
Nice trade for Rutger McGroarty
Complete incompetence.

05 Jan 2025 00:03:43
Leafs Trade:

Robertson
Holmberg
Reilly

Canucks:

J.T.Miller

Any thoughts

05 Jan 2025 00:42:38
Where do we sign?

05 Jan 2025 02:40:35
Miller is having a difficult year on and off the ice. Probably best to stay away from him.

05 Jan 2025 02:52:54
Love it but not enough IMO. I made this same trade just down the page a bit but it was Rielly and Cowan for JT Miller.

05 Jan 2025 06:52:09
All the brainiacs on here will tell you that rielly is the only puck mover we have so there is no way he can be traded
As none of the other defenders can skate or pass the puck…only rielly can….

05 Jan 2025 16:30:34
leafs are on of the worst teams in point production this season. this is a terrrible trade. it would literally put the leafs in dead last for point production from the defense.

goals: 8 tied with ottawa for last; points: 68 ranked 23rd/ 32, point%: .142 ranked 23/ 32 s/ gp 1.11 ranked 30th chicago and detroit only teams lower.

take out rielly's 4g and 14a will just make things even worse.

top 3 teams: colorado, tampa, washington, even florida is in the mix, with an extremely shocking name in the mix in buffalo.

06 Jan 2025 01:54:09
Miller wants to go to nyr apparently.

04 Jan 2025 23:06:16
Leafs
Andersson
10 percent retained by flames

Flames
Cowan
Kampf
Timmins

Sharks
Steeves

Leafs
Sharks retain 10 percent of andersson contract

Rielly Andersson
McCabe Tanev
OEL Myers
Benoit

05 Jan 2025 00:51:07
Not sure that is enough to tempt the Flames but Andersson ($4.55 x 1 more year) would be a great addition the Leafs defense.
It might take Cowan and Leafs 2026 - 1st round pick plus salary matching.

To Leafs: Andersson ($4.55)

To Flames: 2026 - 1st round pick, Easton Cowan, Kampf (2.4), Jarnkrok ($2.1) = $4.5

McCabe - Tanev
OEL - Andersson
Reilly - Meyers
Benoit - Timmins.

05 Jan 2025 19:32:47
Andersson would be an awesome pickup. That first proposal seems very light though.

04 Jan 2025 19:27:34
Leafs trade Holmberg

Islanders 3 rd round pic

The trade is needed here so I post one

We could lose Knies to offer sheet

What do you guys pay him

5.0 million 6 years
4.5 million 8 years

Leafs are in spot here

04 Jan 2025 21:26:33
4.5m for 8yrs would make me happy if a bridge doesn't happen.

04 Jan 2025 22:22:30
He’s not gonna take 8@4.5. He may take 5@5.

04 Jan 2025 22:48:07
He’s 4.5 on a 5 year deal sets him up to get paid in his prime.

05 Jan 2025 01:56:33
Leafs are ok if Knies isn't offersheeted 7 plus million Marner and Tavares must come first

But this game was Boston last stand the Leafs have grown into prime players and one line crushed the Bruins

If Knies gets ogffer sheet 7 million you must walkaway and take pics

What's the most you pay Knies

He will have big second half with Mathew's and Marner beside him.

04 Jan 2025 16:20:02
If Austin Matthews is put on the shelf for the rest of the regular season I have a proposal that I can see happening.

NYRangers Trade
Zibanejad

Toronto Trades
Minton (AHL)
2nd Round Pick 2025


Considering what The Rangers have traded away and got for Trouba and Kakko this is about right for Zibanejad imo.

This will give The Leafs the centre they are looking to acquire as Zibanejad check marks everything.

Rangers obviously tearing some things down helps them Cap wise and more prospects for the future.



Thoughts ?

04 Jan 2025 17:29:41
Isn't Matthews expected to play tonight?

04 Jan 2025 18:13:10
Exactly RLF doesn't seem like Matthews will be going on LTIR, so no way they can fit this under the cap.

04 Jan 2025 18:17:54
Sorry Pinballisback I just read if Matthews is put on the shelf. Didn't notice before my comment.

04 Jan 2025 22:23:47
If he gets hit hard tonight he may still end up on LTIR.

05 Jan 2025 00:00:39
Mika yes. Toews NO.

05 Jan 2025 00:55:24
Zibanejad check marks everything except character, Compete level, physicality.
He was recently described by one NY pundit as: “Looking disinterested. ”
Is this the personality the Leafs want to bring into their dressing room?
