Whats everyones thoughts on opening night line-up?
Bertuzzi Mathews Domi
Mcmann Tavares marner
Knies holmberg nylander
Dewar kampf reaves
Reilly lybushkin
Mccabe benoit
Edmonson Liljgren
Samsonov
Woll
I know some guys want reaves out. Should Robertson get a look. Do we need gregors speed? What do ya think?
1.) 11 Apr 2024 20:27:07
I feel like a package of Liljegren and and Robertson should go towards a quality #2 RD. Benoit becomes the # 3D. Do teams even view those 2 as a decent package?
2.) 11 Apr 2024 21:07:23
I really like Benoit, but if he's in the top 4 we have a problem. He's an excellent bottom pairing D, nothing wrong with that, but it is what UT is.
3.) 11 Apr 2024 21:59:52
Package Brodie, Gregor, and Giordano for a solid player and have Timmins and Robertson as extras. Also just thought. Where would Jankrok fit in?
4.) 12 Apr 2024 05:24:45
Would prefer to see Reaves as the 13th forward with Jarnkrok on the line with Kampf and Dewar.
Treliving MUST do something about the Leafs defense in the off season.
There are not many good RHD available among the free agents but I think Leafs should focus on trying to sign Matt Roy if he doesn’t reap with LA Kings.
About the only suitable RHD that I can see available are Matt Roy, Sean Walker and Dylan DeMelo.
All three could be potentially resigned by their current teams.
Offer Robertson plus a prospect to San Jose for Ferraro
Reilly ($7.5) - Roy ($5.5)
Ferraro ($3.25) - McCabe ($2)
Benoit ($1.35) - Liljegren ($3.25)
Edmundson ($2.5) - Timmins ($1.1)

Very disappointing WB. How quickly we forget our Leafs getting manhandled last year in playoffs. Reaves is a big part in a change. IMO. The team plays different with him in the lineup. Guys like MacDermaid (yesterday) aren’t running around looking to hurt people. If Reaves isn’t in the lineup game 1, I would be extremely disappointed in Sheldon’s decision making. Same goes for Benoit, he is a main stay.
6.) 12 Apr 2024 12:54:44
@86Arens that’s exactly how I would have my lines too. Marner and Nylander are interchangeable but I like the rest. Brodie is off your list too, I like it. Jarnkrok can sit for the first game or two until someone plays a bad game.
7.) 12 Apr 2024 14:12:25
I still think you put your best two Dmen on the top pairing and go from there.
Rielly - McCabe
Edmundson - Liljegren
Benoit - Lyubushkin
On the forward group I really liked the Willy-JT-Marner line, they out shot Jersey 14-1 last night. Maybe Leafs should stack top 2 lines again and include Jarnkrok on the 3rd line.
Bert - Papi - Domi
Willy - JT - Marner
McMann - Holmberg - Jarnkrok
Knies - Kampf - Reaves
Dewar/ Robbie.
8.) 12 Apr 2024 14:27:41
This is what I want, but won't happen
Domi Matthews Marner
Bert Tavares Nylander
McMann Kampf Knies
Dewar Holmberg Reaves
Reilly McCabe
Edmundson Liljgren (otherwise Brodie)
Benoit Lyubushkin.
9.) 12 Apr 2024 18:16:56
@Tags and RLF, then you are going back to a two line team and defeating the purpose of what they’re trying to do. I hope they stick to the lines spread out and becoming harder to defend against.
10.) 12 Apr 2024 20:35:05
Ckarky. The problem I have seen with the 3 lines spread out is that the Leafs 3rd line has trouble defending. I think McMann Kampf and Knies would surprise people in the playoffs with contributions and they would be solid defensively. Right now, I don't really see a line that can shut teams top line down. And shutting teams down in the playoffs is as important as the ability to have balanced scoring threats imo.
11.) 12 Apr 2024 22:04:58
I know Clarky.
I just don't gave much trust in the 3L defensively as RLF is eluding too. If Marner and Nykander switched, then I would be better with it.
I think it's definitely something Tre needs to explore in the off season, either a 2C, like Lindholm and move Tavares down (dreaming about getting Lindholm for $5/ $5.5M on a show me contract since he's not doing well after the trade) . Or Leafs pick up an actual 3C who defends and has offense as well.
12.) 13 Apr 2024 00:06:32
Leafs forever…. They can’t package Brodie, Gregor and Gio as none of them will be under contract once the season ends.
13.) 14 Apr 2024 11:18:12
I’m with RFL I don’t think holmberg can be our 3C but I’d try nylander kampf and knies this is the downside of keeping domi on the wing limits what the leafs can do in their bottom six like I still like domi in the middle and Tavares as the 3C.
Bert Matthews marner
Jarnkrok domi nylander
Knies Tavares mcmann
Dewar kampf reaves
Holmberg robbie
That 3rd line could be a problem matchup wise for other teams and when they take reaves out and put holmberg in they have a defensive line.
09 Mar 2024 12:52:48
So looks like were heading with this.
Knies matthews marner
Bertuzzi domi nylander
Jarnkrok tavares mcmann
Holmberg kampf Reaves
Reilly lybushkin
Mccabe benoit
Brodie Edmonson
Woll
Samsanov
Jones.
1.) 09 Mar 2024 13:46:46
Nothing changed just dewar once he earns a spot will be going anywhere on bottom 6 enabling more rest going into playoff
Rielly klingberg
McCabe brodie
Gio liljegren
Benoit Timmins
Team ran 8 man D on roster
Then
Rielly Brodie
McCabe liljegren
Gio timmins
Benoit
Klingberg LTIR season now to 7 roster D
Rielly Brodie
McCabe Gio
Benoit timmins
Lagesson
Liljegren LTIR 7 roster D
Rielly Brodie
McCabe Benoit
Gio lagassen
Lamoie
Timmins LTIR
Rielly suspension got Rafai in a few games then Rielly came back liljegren came back but Gio got hurt and lybushkin trade made the D look like this before deadline
Rielly lybushkin
Brodie mccabe
Benoit liljegren
Lagassen
Now
Rielly Edmunston
McCabe lybushkin
Brodie liljegren
Benoit.
2.) 09 Mar 2024 15:24:53
I think Benoit is ahead of lily.
3.) 09 Mar 2024 22:32:38
Even Gio should be ahead of Lilly at this point.
4.) 10 Mar 2024 01:55:05
Except Jarnkrok is a RW and McMann is a LW.
Hopefully Leafs can trade Kampf and his awful this summer and Dewar becomes Leafs 4th line center.
5.) 10 Mar 2024 05:18:26
I actually really liked the look of that Kampf mcmann knies line. I would like to see some more of it.
6.) 10 Mar 2024 11:50:22
Järnkrok really frustrates me. He skates fast everywhere to accomplish nothing, in my opinion. Almost cost us the game. His penalty at the end of the game was from a bone head play he made. Instead of moving the puck up to someone, he just blindly wraps it around the boards, to no one.
31 Dec 2023 18:31:09
Samsonov on waivers
Leafs will claim comrie if they have an opportunity. If not close to 8 million in cap space once Samsonov clears.
Nylander, robertson, and 1st
For
Gibson and fowler
Does the money work and would Anaheim do it?
1.) 31 Dec 2023 19:46:37
If Samsonov clears than the Leafs don't get anywhere close to his cap hit off the books.
2.) 31 Dec 2023 19:51:15
Samsonov going down only free up about 1.4 million. Don’t think that takes them to 8.
3.) 31 Dec 2023 20:07:53
Nylanders value is much higher than Gibson's. But, I'd say bring back boosh in a deal.
Nylander, samsonov
Gibson, boosh, 2nd (1st if Nylander resigns)
We get a player who will help defensively. Would look pretty good with McCabe in a rubbish down role.
4.) 31 Dec 2023 20:30:01
If Sammy goes down, doesn't it clear up 1.1?
5.) 31 Dec 2023 21:42:33
1.15 million.
6.) 01 Jan 2024 01:04:47
Where is everyone getting their numbers? Haven't looked recently but used to be 1.5 could be burried.
7.) 01 Jan 2024 01:30:37
It's $1.15M as Ckps1976 already posted.
8.) 01 Jan 2024 01:35:34
Fr9m Google:
Maximum Buried Cap Hit In 2023-24
NHL teams can send a player to the minors and bury a portion of their salary cap hit, but it’s not as cut and dry as it may seem.
The amount of salary cap relief provided by assigning a player to the AHL is the league minimum plus the buried threshold.
In 2023-24, the NHL league minimum salary will be $775,000 (CBA (11.12.a) and the buried threshold will be $375,000, which means teams can bury up to $1.15 million in the AHL.

Loved seeing the leafs trolling Gudas.
Wouldn't fight anyone bigger than domi. Shameful. Benoit, Reaves, mccabe all tried to fight him and he was scurrying back to the bench lol. btw go Bobby Mcmann!
1.) 18 Feb 2024 17:13:22
Absolutely loved it too. Had his worst game with a -5 but I bet it’s hard to play with ? running down your leg. I hope they ban together like this against Florida too.
2.) 18 Feb 2024 23:35:11
I love how domi went back after him as well.
3.) 19 Feb 2024 13:13:50
Gudas doesn't like to fight heavy weights because he gets his butt whipped. Deslauriers destroyed him. Bieksa dropped him with one punch. He likes to play a hard hitting and sometimes cheap shot style, he doesn't like answering for it though.
11 Jan 2024 14:07:13
Leafs sign Perry!
1.) 11 Jan 2024 19:22:49
It’s only rumblings but does sound good. He lives in London and rumour is he has been in talks with TO.
2.) 11 Jan 2024 21:52:03
Yeah i know, i was expecting to get ripped apart.
Just hoped it happened then i would look like an insider lol.
3.) 12 Jan 2024 00:04:31
