You have depth at center and another potential 50 goal scorer. Plus a young RD. You sign these 3 ufas for depth.
Hakanpaa is not playing hockey anymore from what they r saying.

I like the players but you are asking for too much. Get rid of the 3rd pick from VGK and add a 2nd rd pick from Tor at minimum to have VGK interested. IMO of course.
2.) 11 Jul 2024 11:41:27
That’s not enough to get you Marner! Theodore is so overrated and not what Toronto needs. If he and Rielly played together they would give up probably 5-6 breakaways or 2 on 0’s per game. Because neither play defence.

Scored 11g and 4a in 28 games last year with Columbus. Sounds like a nhler to me.

The teams I believe marner waves for
Utah, Rangers, Vegas, Chicago, LA, Jersey
No wave
Columbus, Anaheim , etc.
take your pick who he goes to. Cause he's not staying in Toronto. Treliving isn't signing him to an extension unless a trade is in place he will walk into free agency but take the wrath of leaf fans for a year
1.) 29 Jun 2024 17:33:32
That would require some imagination from tredeadthing
Can’t see that happening.
24 Feb 2024 13:21:34
I believe you leave well enough alone. Wait till the summer and u resign Benoit, liljegren, Gregor, McMann, Robertson, Jones. Everyone else you let walk. You will have a lot of cap space to fill in holes. You take a run at UFAS to fill in the gaps left by bertuzzi, domi, Brodie, Samsonov, etc. lots of good ufas available this summer. With all the LTIR coming off the books as well the cap going up the leafs will have $24mil to spend. A lot of wiggle room to make good ufa signings. Don't sacrifice your only first round pick for a rental or your prospects.
Only move if make is seeing if someone is willing to take reaves off your hands throw in a sweetener like a 5th or 6th rd pic to go with him. If not bury him in the all like you did Clifford and get that little cap relief by doing it. You r not winning the cup this year so no reason to give up futures for a pipe dream.
1.) 25 Feb 2024 13:21:58
I do support using free agency as a means to add targeted upgrades without losing important assets.
Also picking up possible improvements in the KHL and SHL is an avenue to pursue.
Agree on Benoit, Liligren, McMann and Robertson but I don’t resign Gregor. He’s a strong skater with some grit but there’s a reason SJS didn’t qualify him and now we know it.
If you’re not resigning Samsonov or Bert why not get something back at TDL?
Having said that Bert finally showed something last night! Stick on the ice and two hands on the stick he was ready to bang home rebounds or passes.
He scored 3 from a total of 5 feet. This is what the Leafs have been expecting and wanting. It finally happened 70% into the season!
2.) 25 Feb 2024 13:36:40
Legend. For the most part I agree, but see no reason why they can't make moves now for guys with term or for guys that won't cost much. Not a ton of moves, but one or two that could help the team if the price is right I'm good with.
17 Jan 2024 11:39:06
All you need is a good coaching staff for this team plain as day.
Berube (coach) proven winner
Gerard Gallant (coach) Jack Adams winner
Joe Quenvillle (coach) proven winner
List goes on
Need structure not so much trades
Keefe , Boucher out
Van Ryn stays bring in Berube won cup together in st.Louis
Hire a proven pp/pk specialist as other assistant lots good ones out there.
You go and get Tanev. Whatever it takes resign him.
Talent is there just not be utilized properly with this coaching staff. No structure on this team look lost on the ice. Too much line shuffling and scrambling. Pathetic
1.) 17 Jan 2024 12:26:16
@Legend74 completely agree, Keefe needs to go, plain and simple.
I would love Quennville, but that's probably not going to happen.
I'm not to sure on Berube to be honest.
I would go after Gallant. He's proven to get result when first coming into a new situation.
I think Keefe has lost the room, plus he has no answers. His only go to is to run his stars to the ground by playing them 25+ minutes, so they are exhausted last minute of the games. And they will definitely burn out once playoffs come around.
2.) 17 Jan 2024 12:40:03
Coaching change I definitely agree with. Lots available as you mentioned.
3.) 17 Jan 2024 13:30:52
Gallant was always my choice.
4.) 17 Jan 2024 17:08:36
Has anyone considered thatcoaching change does nothing?
I'm all for firing Keef, but as currently constructed I don't think it suddenly makes them contenders.
5.) 18 Jan 2024 12:32:56
LL. They would probably get a coaching bump, but I don't expect it to turn them into a contender. It is more about a change of culture and the way to play. Starts with the coach, so let's start there.
16 Dec 2023 12:50:39
Go sign Berube to be on your coaching staff. Has one a Stanley cup knows how to inspire these over paid Cinderella's. If keefe keeps pulling his dumb ass moved you show him the door. Perfect replacement mid season. The last time berube was given the reigns he won the Stanley cup.
1.) 16 Dec 2023 20:10:29
I'd be happy with a Berube or Woodcroft signing.
04 Nov 2023 10:51:42
Keefe is the problem here not the players.
Only mistake treliving made here is extending him b4 season started. Hes clueless at putting lines together. He didn't even attempt one game with Willy at centre it's a joke. Tavares is a winger this point in his career. If not Willy then try Domi he's played that position b4. He loves to criticize all his players but he should really look in the mirror. He had Minten on the opening roster when he had no business being there. 19yrs old and no where near the nhl calibre ready player like a Bedard or Fantilli. Kids back at WHL. Tells u something about his lack of being able to evaluate players. Preseason is totally different then regular season guys may shine there cause most nights they r playing against minor leaguers. I still believe Robertson should be up. If not to help st least showcase the guy for a trade.
1.) 04 Nov 2023 12:54:04
I am not really a fan of Keefe. Whether he preaches it or not, he can't seem to get his players to buy into a pack mentality. So, that's on him. If he can't get them to buy in, then he should be going to management and saying these guys just don't have it in them or are not willing, so we need to make a move.
The rest I don't agree a lot with. Willy is a winger imo. Plays like one and is most effective on the wing. Tavares has looked like he has turned back the clock a bit. I can't imagine complaining about his play this year. Only complaint I really have on JT is he needs to learn from what Stamkos did in Tampa and get into more a scrappy style of play. I think Minten earned his spot. There was no harm in giving the kid a shot. Needed to see if what he did in pre-season could translate. 4 games helps his development and didn't really hurt the team. Robertson is right where he belongs imo. He needs to show he can be a point per game+ player in the AHL and stay healthy. He had 5 points in his first two games. He has slowed a bit with 4 in his last 6 and is still a -3 5on5. The guy has been injured so much there is no way to know what he really is because there are so few games to evaluate by.
2.) 04 Nov 2023 13:00:12
You lost me at Willy is a centre. I've seen that experiment enough over the years.
3.) 05 Nov 2023 00:08:55
I also think Keefe is part of the problem and probably needs to go.
But he’s not the only problem.
Nylander is definitely better placed on the wing because he doesn’t have strong D skills.
Tavares is quicker this year and still earns C-ice for me.
Also think giving Minten a shot made sense.
One big problem is total lack of scoring in bottom6.
McCabe being out has hurt.
You guys know how I feel about Bertuzzi; he still looks lost and ineffective.
I’d honestly try Domi in place of Jarnkrok and, of course, Klingberg needs to learn D and be better offensively.
26 Jul 2024 15:00:33
Sorry PTO not pro.
26 Jul 2024 14:59:01
Rather get rid of kampf then jarnkrok. Holmberg can slot in on 4th live center or get a guy on a pro.

Injury status September 15th 2024 return date
For Lehner. Look it up I can’t send a pic of it but I would if I could. How’s that for crickets. RLF your trade propositions are laughable lol lol.
23 Jul 2024 21:32:01
He’s expected to be back by September. Lol lol lol.
23 Jul 2024 13:32:00
I agree with draft pick comp. 2nd rd is fair.
22 Jun 2024 23:51:47
Pesce to me is Brodie in a few years he will not age well and become a liability better options out there.
22 Jun 2024 23:48:35
I’m not giving up Benoit for Ferraro he’s overrated Benoit was a beast in playoffs.
22 Jun 2024 23:46:44
I still don’t believe he waves for Anaheim. He wants to go to a team with playoff potential or with cup contention. I see Chicago for the reason of Bedard.
I see Vegas for cup contention. Rangers do intrigue me for both in terms of star power and cup contention.
Funny as it sounds Utah could be kicking tires as new owner what’s to make a statement to fans bring in star player.
22 Jun 2024 23:41:27
Don’t mind the sarongs rumours he’s a one year guy with $5mil cap hit. Great 1/ 2 punch with woll.
