Mph

I hope your 100% Correct. Everyone knows Crouse but home town boy McBain is exactly what Toronto needs.


2.) 06 Mar 2024 11:34:52
Still need a backup up goalie but I like these additions.


3.) 06 Mar 2024 11:36:06
I hope they resign Benoit as well he's a keeper.


4.) 07 Mar 2024 02:44:32
Can’t see how signing Edmundson and resigning Lyubushkin help improve the Leafs.
Tanev is 34 and will be 35 before Christmas so I truly hope none of the 3 are on the Leafs at the start of next season.

Unless there is a better choice available I see the Leafs resigning Samsonov to a short term contract (1 or 2 years max) unless another team offers him term which isn’t highly likely.
Hildeby isn’t ready for the NHL yet.

Coyotes really like Crouse and McBain and I can not see them trading either player.
Particularly not for Robertson and Liljegren.


 

 

04 Mar 2024 21:07:55
Borgen Wennberg @ 50 percent

Robertson
1st 2024
Kampf. For cap
Abruzzese

Mph

1.) 04 Mar 2024 22:59:39
Wennberg a healthy scratch 2nite he's going somewhere.


2.) 05 Mar 2024 01:20:41
Agame like this and the leaf's mail it in. 4 goal for Boston Liljegren watching play has no clue a bruin is slightly behind him

I don't blame Woll much he stopped a lot of pucks

On paper leaf's are better than Boston but heart is big problem and this was big game.


3.) 05 Mar 2024 01:53:11
So true. Leafs were horrible across the board. Outworked in every area. Entire D was terrible . Woll was average at best.


4.) 05 Mar 2024 03:47:44
Rangers have been tied to Wennberg.
Elliot Freidland has quoted Ron Francis as saying he is happy with his defensive top four of Larsson, Dunn, Oleksiak and Borgen so I doubt Treliving will be able to acquire any of them.


5.) 05 Mar 2024 11:39:00
1-4 leafs are better. Mccavoy > Rielly, then 6-15 is better than tor, 16-23 is comparable.


6.) 05 Mar 2024 12:19:56
Agree on Liligren.

His hockey IQ seemed to be a big factor; he was a spectator often.

He turns the wrong way leaving players open with a clear path to the net. On the first shift of the game Zacha was all left all alone after a pass from Paaranak.

If he continues like this I’m okay on a trade for an upgrade.


7.) 05 Mar 2024 12:41:36
Possibly the worst I’ve seen from Lilygren. Looked lost . This team needs two more D and a centre. Domi ain’t getting it done. Keefe (who should’ve been fired two month ago) needs to sit Nylander for an entire game . All that talent in a lazy floater.


8.) 05 Mar 2024 12:46:42
Borgen looks solid. I do have trouble figuring out value on a 27 year old D-man who is only in his second full year and although he plays second pair, he plays 3rd pair minutes that are not sheltered. Wennberg I really don't have any interest in.


 

 

04 Mar 2024 01:34:37
Jensen. 50 percent retained
Robertson 3rd Rd 2024 to caps

Ducks retain another 50 percent on Jensen
Steeves goes to the Ducks

Kampf 1st rd pick 2024 Abruzzese to Ducks
Henrique at 50 percent to Leafs

Gregor on waivers
Jones on waivers

Knies 34 16
Bertuzzi Henrique 88
McMann Tavares Jarnkrok
Holmberg Domi Reaves

Rielly Jensen
Brodie Liljegren
McCabe Lyubushkin
Benoit

Woll. Samsanov

A lot to give up for a UFA in Henrique and an elder statesman like Jensen
But dang look at that lineup
A whole lot to like ?


Ok folks
Start the critique
I promise I will take it like a grown up??

Mph

1.) 04 Mar 2024 01:43:38
I forgot to add that the Leafs save some coin because they only need to be there for half the draft in 2024??.


2.) 04 Mar 2024 12:57:11
I know Jensen seems to be a popular guy at the moment, but I'm not as sold on him as others seem to be. He's a solid enough 2nd pair D who can PK, but if going after a guy with term left, I would prefer a bigger more physical D-man and younger. Jensen will be 34 at start of next season and isn't very big or that physical. I also don't think you can get Washington and the Ducks to retain on this year and 2 more years for those returns. Not a huge fan of adding Henrique either.


3.) 04 Mar 2024 17:32:54
Seems a bit steep for Henrique. Love to have him but not at that cost. I would think if the leafs had interest he would have been part of the last trade .


4.) 05 Mar 2024 03:53:19
Henrique would be a good add but unless he comes with an extension I think it is time for the Leafs to STOP giving up 1st round pick for UFA’s.

I do not see Jensen as a significant enough upgrade to justify giving up Robertson, Steeves and a 3rd round pick for.


5.) 06 Mar 2024 10:56:26
Only problem I see is now you push Benoit out of the lineup. He hasn't been an allstar but he's been far better than Brodie or Liljegren!


 

 

02 Mar 2024 09:42:25
To leafs Andersson 25 percent retained

To flames 1st 2024 Niemela Robertson
Kampf or Jarnkrok for cap

He is the D I would trade that 1st for

I am probably outto lunch on this one as usual

But looking for some proposals to land him.

Mph

1.) 02 Mar 2024 11:51:01
Right player to target just a big overpay even with retention.


2.) 02 Mar 2024 13:58:09
Solid Prop MPH. If Flames go rebuild, this should be of interest, but I don't think they will retain on a player that is already on a great contract.


3.) 02 Mar 2024 17:15:51
Overpay.

For Weegar OK but not for Andersson.


4.) 03 Mar 2024 00:25:32
@Richie do you even know who Amderson is? He's a stud on a great contract.

Solid prop. Well done.

D next year
Option 1
Rielly Josh brown
Zadorov Demelo
McCabe Liljegren
Benoit

Or
Option 2
Rielly Lyubushkin
McCabe Montour
Edmundson Liljegren
Benoit

Or
Option 3
Rielly Tanev
Dillon Josh Brown
McCabe Liljegren
Benoit

Or
Option 4
None of the above
MPH is not even close

Mph

1.) 16 Mar 2024 13:44:32
Brown can't play top pair. I think option 2 with either Tanev or Montour in that spot seems the most likely assuming Boosh and Edmundson want to come back and at less than what they were making.


2.) 16 Mar 2024 17:20:22
Option 5:
Leafs trade Nylander and Lily to NYR for K’andre Miller, Trochek and Goodrow

Off-season sign Roy around 5.5M and Desharnais at 1.5M

Rielly Roy
Miller McCabe
Benoit Desharnais.


3.) 16 Mar 2024 19:41:32
Clarky still crying about Nylander?
You do know it's not going to change a thing whether you keep crying everyday for the rest of the year or throughout his 8 year term.
Might as well just accept it.
I used to cry about Marner's outlandishly overpaid contract, but realized it wasn't changing anything, so I've moved on myself.
It's time to let it go brother!


4.) 17 Mar 2024 22:35:26
@Clarky why would NY agree to that trade? It's a fleecing.


5.) 18 Mar 2024 01:10:17
Yes Tags I’m making trades on what I’d think would make the team better. Didn’t say anything about Nylander just put him in a trade. Is it gonna happen? No obviously, just like 99% of the trades on here but everyone is putting their opinion on what changes this team needs to be a contender. And this is me dealing with it, looking for ways out of Tre’s mistakes (again) on a Leafs website is how I handle it. ?.


6.) 18 Mar 2024 10:34:58
Fair enough Clarky ?.


 

 

08 Mar 2024 23:12:43
Tavares Matthews Marner
Bertuzzi Domi Nylander
Knies Dewar Jarnkrok
McMann Kampf Reaves

Rielly Lyubushkin
Edmundston Liljegren
Brodie McCabe

Samsonov Woll

Mph

1.) 09 Mar 2024 00:39:18
Nice MPH but here is my formula for the lines:

Knies Matthews McMann
Bertuzzi JT Nylander
Jarnkrok Domi Marner
Dewar Kampf Reaves
Holmberg

Rielly Boosh
Benoit McCabe
Edmundson Lily
Brodie - file Brodie in to give other guys nights off.


2.) 09 Mar 2024 00:55:47
Not a fan of stacking that top line with JT as well.


 

 

23 Dec 2023 20:02:28
Ok so I'm not allowed to trade for Saros as per the genius JrA players and hockey scouts on this site.so I'll move on..

For good?


Bye?'s
Have a merry Christmas!!!!

Mph

1.) 23 Dec 2023 22:28:22
Lol MPH. We'll see ya soon.


2.) 23 Dec 2023 22:30:05
Haha. Imagine letting these comments affect you this much. Can’t handle the negative feedback eh. Put your tail between your legs and walk out. ?.


3.) 24 Dec 2023 03:18:23
Geez, considering how many props I throw out on this site, if I left everytime someone disagreed with them, I would be around 500X by now is my guess. At least 300X just for the ones you disagreed with Mph. lol

Merry Christmas to you too. See ya in the New Year.


 

 

22 Dec 2023 01:00:39
Every time Buffalo comes over the blue line I think 50 50 chance a goal. That's how low I think of Samsievenov. He is moving way too much and therefore is out of position. Not square to the puck at all.

Waive him. Recall hildeby

Mph

1.) 22 Dec 2023 11:31:05
I wouldn't call up Hildebeast. Let him have at least a full year on the Marlies before doing that.

Sammy looks shaken. Not sure what can be done at this point to replace him unless, as you say, Hildebeast is called up though.


2.) 22 Dec 2023 12:46:59
It’s either bring up Hildebeast or pick up a goalie. Not fair to the team when you put this guy in net like that. Makes great saves and then lets in a pooper. That should be his last game as a Leaf. I get everyone is saying protect Hildeby but my question is from what? Getting a couple starts in the NHL as a back up while Woll is hurt. Give him a start or two while Woll is out, what are we protecting him from? Opportunity? If he has a bad outing, give him a chance to rebound but rarely the kid will get shell shocked with pucks because the team will play much better in front of him. They always protect their young goalies. A small sample size of tue NHL can’t do anything but help the kid. See how hard you have to work to make it to this level.


3.) 22 Dec 2023 15:21:02
At this point, send Sammy down and bring up Hildeby as a backup. As much as the team wants to support Samsonov, they know he is costing them games. The team stunk last night, but I don't think they would have stunk as bad if Samsonov wasn't so brutal. If someone claims him, so be it. Does anyone of us think Sammy is getting re-signed? I can't imagine anyone does, so if he goes now, he goes now and take the cap space. Even sending him down saves a little cap space with Hildeby called up. Woll played some NHL games as well before he was ready. In general, it is actually easier for the goalies when in the NHL than AHL because the play is way more predictable defensively.
Samsonov is a distraction. If he goes down, gets his game together, you call him back up later and send Hildeby back down. I think it would actually do Samsonov good to be away from the NHL pressure.

I said this a few time before and even at the time when Tree chose to take Sammy to arbitration, but Tree deserves credit for taking Sammy to arbitration and not bowing to pressure from the fan base to get Sammy signed to term. I didn't like the Klingberg signing or the term on Reaves, but his other moves have been solid.

Let's face it, Dubas would have signed Samsonov to $4M+ and with term. He was going to with Campbell as well, but got outbid.


4.) 22 Dec 2023 16:43:36
My only issue with calling the beast up is leafs have a tendency to not protect young goalies and have really poor showings.

I think sparks posted a shut out in his first game but got lit up for 6 or 7 by the oilers his next game. Kaskisuo they played awful for. Even woll they had a rough first game for him, he was just up to the pressure.


5.) 22 Dec 2023 19:12:33
Randy. I get that. My feeling is that playing Hildeby about 4 or 5 games until Woll gets back isn't likely to hurt his development. If he plays well, that's a massive bonus and if he is needed for the playoffs because of injury, he has some experience. Keeping Samsonov in the net, doesn't seem to benefit anyone. imo.

When a coach gets verbal to the media about his team and even calls out specific players…he’s on his last legs
Just my observation

If they get bumped in the first round
He will not be returning
Again
Just my observation

Keep posting on here gang
Enjoy the reads.

Keefe does this all the time
He is trying to ruin Robertson

Benoit should be in over the useless Brodie
Mr non chalant at the end of the third
He’s played like that most of the year yet Keefe still adores him

This is Keefe
He has his favourites and will play them over others s who are obviously better.

Robertson skates 3 miles to accomplish something that takes 10 feet…
Package him with 1st 2024 Minten Abruzzese
Buchnevich at 50 percent and Toropchenko.
