Tor: Robertson, 2024 1st, sda, engvall
Ari: chycryn, bjygstad.
25 Jan 2023 19:07:36
Tor: Robertson, 2nd, Ty voit, kerfoot
Phi: konecny ( 1mill retained)
Cbj: retain 750k for hirvinon and 7th
Tor: Anderson, mete, 2nd, 3rd
Chi: McCabe (1 mill retained)
SJS: retain another mill for 5th and steeves.
1.) 26 Jan 2023 00:22:28
Konecny is a big favourite of mine. I'd make that trade in a second.
2.) 26 Jan 2023 00:54:26
Konecny has a big heart and would be a great addition!

Haven’t posted in a while. This works with muzzin remaining on ltir however we can activate Murray.
Tor: engvall, kerfoot, 4th
Van: Garland
We save 800k, kerfoot 1 being from there could also help that team more than garland who doesent play
Tor: holl, Stevees, Anderson and a 3rd
Chi: Murphy (410k retained)
Garland- Mathew’s-marner
Robertson-jt-Willy
Bunting-calle- malgin
Zar-kampf-nak
Reilly Murphy
Gio lily
Sandin Brodie
Samsonov
Murray
Scratches mete and holmberg, can call up Clifford Kral and Ben as depth.
19 May 2022 02:56:56
Tor: kase, Robertson, holl
Van: miller,
1.) 19 May 2022 07:44:35
What possibly incentive does Van have to move a 100pt scoring power forward, for our leftovers? .
2.) 19 May 2022 17:09:57
Their not making the playoffs. Number 2 he only a rental at this point which should be a first a prospect and decent roster player.
3.) 19 May 2022 18:32:36
So you think he's worth a first, prospect and roster player, but other them a 7thD, 4th liner and a prospect?
15 Mar 2022 16:52:55
Tor: dermott
Van: motte
Simple trade.
1.) 15 Mar 2022 18:55:55
Seems fair. Doesn't look like the Leafs have plans for Dermott to use him regularly.
2.) 15 Mar 2022 22:50:45
I guess, not sure what this does but the value is probably fair.

Hot take: kase out for Wayne/ Clifford.
1.) 13 May 2022 12:54:40
I am more worried about one of Holl's indecisions or Nylander's lack of effort costing us the game, over Kase's limited 4th line minutes.
I think Keefe comes back with the same lineup.
2.) 13 May 2022 20:02:40
This series hasn't been a Maroon/ Clifford slugfest since game one. I don't think it makes a difference.
3.) 14 May 2022 02:43:42
So my thoughts are holl out for lily, even though holl hasn't looked all that bad.
4.) 14 May 2022 16:19:32
I think Holl was inserted originally because of all the penalties being called and Holl is a solid penalty killer. Then Keefe would use mostly 5D for 5 on 5 play. Last game, they stop calling penalties, so if game 7 is back to lots of penalties called, Holl would be the better choice imo. Of course, no one knows how the refs will decide to call things.
29 Jul 2021 02:03:59
After day one here’s some targets I would like to acquire
Nick Ritchie - guy hits hard is big and plays hard from the city
Mark jankowski- similar and big as well plays c
Via trade I would target crouse, Dvorak, rakell
With kerfoot engvall or mickeyav going the other way.
1.) 29 Jul 2021 03:19:20
I don't think enough is left to take on any of them unless Kerfoot is moved.
I also don't believe any team wants one year of Mikheyev or Engvall.
09 May 2021 19:42:15
Anyone else think the leafs let Freddie walk and run a Campbell Rittich tandem?
2 yrs around 1.5-2 mil.
1.) 09 May 2021 20:00:07
There’s got to be a better option than Rittich.
I think a tandem is the way to go. And it seems to be the way most teams are progressing.
I don’t care who they get to play with Campbell. I just hope it’s not Andersen or Hutchinson. And at this point, you can add Rittich to the list of disappointing goalies that just can’t get the job done when playing for our team.
Belfour was the last great goalie this team had.
That was so long ago that the fact he was a drunken wife beater had no effect on the love Leafs Nation had for this man.
He could stop a puck. And that was all that mattered.
Now the goalies we employ today have impeccable reputations.
Too bad they couldn’t stop a beach ball.
This is the worst goaltending I’ve seen since Toskala, Gustafson, and the rerun of Cujo were tending net.
2.) 09 May 2021 21:30:41
Mike Smith fits the Dubas formula of building a team
Take a player past his prime but whom was once a top end player for his position and whom has yet to win a cup.
Sell this player on Stanley cup potential then get him on the cheap.
If player is from Ontario it becomes a easier sell. not much to work with in this years ufa goalie group so smith it will be.
3.) 09 May 2021 21:49:52
Mid season goaltending trades can be interesting, some goalies struggle with identity issues and a change of scenery can sometimes destroy a goalies confidence.
Will rittich he better next year? I can't say, but he wasn't this bad in Calgary, he often stole games for them. I believe in this tandem still but I would only offer him one year.
4.) 09 May 2021 22:26:21
Hey man, Dougie had his issues as well but he's still the greatest leaf ever in my opinion.
We don't talk about Eddie's drinking lol.
5.) 10 May 2021 14:21:24
There are a lot of options out their I don’t think any of the three ufa goalies we have will be back unless they can’t find a guy but I’ve been preaching on bringing a guy like reimer back he was a favourite here for a number of years and would slot in perfectly with Campbell.
15 Mar 2021 17:58:58
Looks kinda bad that we pulled the goalie with 6 min left and played better than before. Maybe we don’t need a goalie lol.
1.) 16 Mar 2021 02:10:50
Same thing happened in the playoffs.
Good job Keefe for being so aggressive on the goalie pull.
2.) 16 Mar 2021 03:39:27
I've never seen a goalie put back in during play. And I grew up playing net so I watched for weird goalie stuff.
3.) 16 Mar 2021 11:45:58
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
4.) 16 Mar 2021 18:02:16
I have never seen a 6 30 goalie pull or mid play sending him back in either lol.
Keefe knew he needed to do something and what's the worst that can happen? I gave him a tonne of respect for that.
5.) 16 Mar 2021 23:33:07
The phili series years ago was something like that.
23 Feb 2021 05:20:53
Anyone else not so impressed with Reilly?
1.) 23 Feb 2021 07:00:40
He and Brodie both look kind of meh. Brodie is 100% better than Barrie and Ceci but that isn't saying much.
That pairing just has nothing when forced to play against top lines instead of Holl Muzzin.
2.) 23 Feb 2021 11:59:12
I think Reilly this year is too worried about scoring goals and jumping in the rush which leads to a lot of odd man rushes.
3.) 23 Feb 2021 14:19:03
I'm fine with Rielly. He has quietly put up 16 pts. Leafs are trying to play a different style of game, so I don't think we will see Rielly look as dynamic. Needs to still clean up his game a bit, but I am not worried about him.
4.) 23 Feb 2021 16:43:21
@RLF I think it's been how he's looked in his own zone coupled with him not scoring a tonne.
I haven't thought he looked horrible either, it's been more of an expectations issue.
5.) 23 Feb 2021 19:53:09
@LL. Yea, he has to clean up his play in his own zone a bit. I think it is a side affect of the style they are trying to play. Less run and gun. More structured. It can look boring at times and when I guy does make a mistake, it seems to really pop out because the mistakes are fewer than in a run and gun system.
6.) 24 Feb 2021 06:31:18
@RLF I can agree there. He is expected to play a bit more defensively than he is used too under Keefe. The one thing I question though is; why did he have his best season under Babs then? Hainsey couldn't possibly have been better than Brodie.
7.) 24 Feb 2021 12:55:02
@LL. I think sometimes we forget that the first couple of years under Babs, he made Rielly play D first. People were screaming to "free Morgan". Babs would just say that he wants him to learn the defensive side first.
Once Babs was comfortable with Rielly defensively, he took the reigns off and Morgan had a great season. I think part of that is other teams were not as prepared for Morgan that year as they are now, and on the Leafs, Morgan was so far and above most of our D, he stood out a lot more.
Plus, the rest of the team was more immature and not all bought into the system like they are now, so they were cheating on the offensive side of the puck and Morgan flies up with them already cheating and looks more dynamic because the others were thinking offence all of the time which had Morgan having to do more all over the ice. He doesn't have to do as much now, so he doesn't like as dynamic. We were more exciting then, but didn't win as much. To me, they are just buying in more as a team to what it takes to win even it that hurts personal numbers.
He is on pace this year for a pro-rated 67pt season. His best is the 72pt season. Pts are there, they are just a lot quieter.
29 Nov 2022 00:28:31
Maybe we add a 2nd I’m down he’s a big pwf with skill dubas likes his Russians.
30 Sep 2022 20:47:56
I heard they declined puljarvi, Holloway, proberg and a 1st.
10 Aug 2022 18:24:49
Overpay.
12 Jul 2022 02:16:21
Sink or swim at this point.
05 Jul 2022 15:35:44
Add stone hands rights as well and a bit more and try and snag Zacha or wood.
10 Oct 2022 01:25:36
We need severson more than chycryn no need for a lhd.
08 Jul 2022 14:30:20
I oddly agree with Randy however I’m not sure dubas is sold on Campbell as he hadent really played too much.
05 Jul 2022 19:34:11
Willy mrazek and our 1 to Njd for their first and Blackwood, wood.
02 Jul 2022 19:43:00
He played ok in our system.
21 May 2022 01:24:31
Doubt geekie drops to us.
