I'd roll the dice and I know this would be hard to pull off number wise but.
A combination of Reeves, Jarn, Robertson Kempf and a 1st.
For Laine the 1st is for whatever retention is necessary is close it out.
Maybe the Leafs need to add another piece, just spitballing but Laine is worth looking at.
1.) 27 Jul 2024 20:47:43
Absolutely not including the 1st. They’ll be giving him away at some point. Steeves instead of the first and they retain half.
2.) 28 Jul 2024 14:52:30
Just looked it up, Laine has not played a full season in any of the past 5 years! Huge red flag on him.
3.) 28 Jul 2024 14:52:57
That being said, for the right price, he could be worth it.
4.) 28 Jul 2024 16:15:13
I have no interest in Laine. Don't want him for free.
5.) 28 Jul 2024 19:23:34
To me Laine feels like he'd be like Kessel was for Pittsburg. Not opposed to having him as 3rw.
6.) 28 Jul 2024 22:57:25
Laine is washed
No thanks.

Tor: Robertson 3rd
NYI : Pageau.
1.) 10 Jul 2024 09:55:06
Absolutely not!
2.) 10 Jul 2024 13:02:39
Not a bad idea pageau would have to have retention tho.
3.) 10 Jul 2024 19:05:37
I could see and like this if Pageau had retention. Either from them or a 3rd party. Pageau is a solid defensive C with some offensive abilities. Could be what we need in a 3 C but definitely not at 5M. Retained by 50%, I’m interested.
01 Jul 2024 14:07:25
Connor Brown for Robertson.
21 Jun 2024 22:56:55
Tor: mikheyev 2 or 3rd
Vancouver: Robertson
I like mikheyev's size and decent player.
Both player need a change in my opinion.
1.) 21 Jun 2024 23:05:01
He is vastly overpaid. I'm sure Van would give him away for free. Stone hands Mikheyev is frustrating Nucks to no end.
2.) 22 Jun 2024 00:27:29
Cream puff Mikheyev who is overpaid ($4.75) and always injured for Robertson PLUS a draft pick?
No thank you.
3.) 22 Jun 2024 13:52:23
Leaf get the draft pick.
4.) 23 Jun 2024 04:57:47
Even if Leafs get a draft pick we don’t want Mikheyev.
His salary alone is $4.75 million while Robertson’s who will score more goals than Mikheyev plays harder than Mikheyev, will be around $1.5
Though Mikheyev has size he refuses to use it, ever!
He always reminded me of Harold Ballard’s comment about Inge Hammerstrom (I believe it was) : “He could go into the corner with a dozen eggs in his pocket and come out with none broken. ”.

So another one I thought of and no way Marner waives to Calgary but here it is.
Toronto sends Marner Lilly Jank and Woll
Calgary sends markstrom Kardi and a 1st
Draft a defensman and sign Domi also sign a d-man.
1.) 26 May 2024 20:48:13
I like Kadri, hut I don't want him back. Especially at his age.
2.) 26 May 2024 21:26:00
I think we take woll out, they already have wolf. And if they are wanting lily we get them to add a younger defender as well.
3.) 27 May 2024 01:39:36
Kadri is already 33 and will be 34 at the beginning of October.
No thanks!
Flames have Wolf and don’t need Woll but the
Leafs do, to back up Markstrom in this proposal.

So we traded Lilly for 2 6th rounders and a 5th plus 3 million in space???? I would've have taken anyone's post over this lol.
05 Jun 2024 22:47:37
Geez guys I don't know if I were to trade Marner I it's a #1 goalie or a #1 d man and a 1st 2024 for me.
Honestly if possible sign Marner for 1-2 years 9.5 million and mortified no trade and say hey look that's 3 years to show up and get it done or we are done and if you don't perform at any time the leafs can say that's it where's your list
Leafs can't afford to lose him for nothing so either take this pay cut or waive your clause for a year and move on to Calgary or Nashville for instance Leafs gain assets makes it easier for Marner to walk away from whoever acquires him for UFA
1.) 06 Jun 2024 09:07:32
Who's is giving a #1D for Mitchy? This has always been the issue. #1D are some of the most difficult things to find in all of hockey, and you want them to hand one over for a sub 100pts winger making too much, as a rental?
2.) 06 Jun 2024 11:23:51
Why can’t we afford to lose a trade? . I would love to make sense of all this. Guys the whole point is to make your own team better, with Mitch in the team and this core we can’t get past the first round. Who the F cares if we lose the trade to make our team better? If we can get some help back in a trade for Mitch. great but we could also use the cap space to get the D, G and F depth we need. Seeing people suggest to bring Mitch back infuriates me. It’s like the last 8 years never happened. The absolute worst case scenario is Mitch plays out this contract but no way in hell would I hurt this teams chances again and resign him. Is there something that Im missing here or would people rather keep this core than lose a trade and stick to the 1st round exits?
3.) 06 Jun 2024 12:59:54
Why would Marner take a pay cut and only sign for 1 or 2 years to do so? He was willing to hold out on his last deal to get his $10.9M, can't imagine he takes a 1 or 2 year deal now for even less then before.
Best thing for the Leafs to do is trade him. Doubt they get a true 1D or top goalie, but should still get a solid return and some cap space.
07 Oct 2024 21:42:24
I’m with you this team is the best we’ve had!
However I’m not so sure the same old load up at the deadline is what this leafs need I think that actually worked against them, messes up chemistry guys need to learn to play together too quickly so I think those chips need to go now.
06 Oct 2024 20:38:15
Columbus needs salary in so from that stand point the team is a good target. I was thinking about Johnson for a return .5 a game player centre position maybe
Jarn and Kempf get it done. If not draft picks are good too.
18 Sep 2024 22:54:47
I like the trade but not sold on Lilly being moved I thought he had a good playoff and like to see what a new contract does for him so maybe a trade deadline deal if he sucks again lol but what I’ve heard is he worked his butt off this summer and potentially make 3million look like steel.
14 Sep 2024 13:08:57
Why? So you’re giving up on two younger players with higher ceilings for a goon?
12 Sep 2024 22:14:11
NHL players for draft picks is just dumb unless you’re doing a salary dump for an opportunity at a good player this logic just doesn’t work for me.
