Leafs trade Kampf Robertson and Holmberg to Bruins for Trent Frederic and 5th rd pick
1.) 26 Nov 2024 11:52:42
Frederic is -11 with 6pts you would be doing bodron a huge favour. Straight up Kampf fir him if u want to make this deal.
2.) 27 Nov 2024 02:52:51
The majority of the Boston team are minus player though Frederik does lead the team in that department.
Charlie Coyle is a -10, Morgan Geekie -7, Brandon Carlo -6…….
Since Frederik is a LW and Leafs have far more of those than right wings I would prefer to acquire Morgan Geekie if we are trading with Boston.
The player I would prefer to both of those is Luke Evangelista from Nashville.
Barry Trots is shaking the team up and maybe Evangelista can be shaken loose.
Another right wing, bottom six player who would fit well with the Leafs and Berube’s desired style of play is Mathieu Olivier from CBJs.
3.) 27 Nov 2024 15:06:17
Frederic is definitely a center not LW
He is a poor mans Bennett who I D love to acquire but probably have to wait til summer and free agency
Oliver is a great target though for 3rd or 4 th line.
21 Oct 2024 04:05:37
Leafs trade Liligren and Jankrokl to Pens for Michael Bunting
Save 600,000 over 2 years and get a player they are familiar with that plays with an edge
1.) 21 Oct 2024 12:06:18
Dubas loves Bunting, I don't think he'll let him go again.
2.) 21 Oct 2024 12:09:47
I'd be ok with this if another winger would help. I think wing depth is fine right now. I'd look to a middle 6C for help if anything right now.
3.) 21 Oct 2024 16:19:05
Bunting’s real name is Sideshow
He was a clown when he played here and they couldn’t wait for him to leave
That being said
He’s an improvement over Robertson andy Holmberg so there’s that.
4.) 21 Oct 2024 23:55:51
Bunting is a left wing and that is the one position Leafs have little need of with an abundance of left handed wingers.
After Marner and Nylander there is a huge drop off in talent on the right side to Jarnkrok and Reaves.
A 20 - 25 year old right wing would fill the greatest need in my opinion.
Someone like Josh Doan from Utah, Artur Kaliyev from LÀ or even Brett Leason from Anaheim.
I’m sure respondents can think of another dozen, right wingers that would be an upgrade over Jarnkrok and Reaves.
5.) 23 Oct 2024 00:31:05
Leafs have more left wingers than they can play already.
Knies, McMann, Robertson, Pacioretty, Holmberg, Lorentz and Dewar, all of whom can play the left side.
Bunting and his $4.5 million dollar contract in no way fit a need for the Leafs.
On the other hand, all Leafs have on right wing behind Marner and Nylander are Jarnkrok and the 38 year old Ryan Reaves.
If Leafs trade Liljegren they should be looking for a 20 - 25 year old, 3rd/ 4th line right wing like Josh Doan, Artur Kaliyev, Brett Leason….
05 Sep 2024 14:42:52
I say trade Robertson for draft pick or prospect

2.4 and 2.1
Resign mcabe 4x5 million

1.) 06 Sep 2024 11:46:09
So you want JT to take an 8 million dollar pay cut lol.
2.) 06 Sep 2024 12:19:14
If you want Tavares at 3M, it would have to be for at least 5 years, I would think. Probably closer to 8.
3.) 06 Sep 2024 13:55:53
Tavares is 3x3.5 or let him walk.
4.) 06 Sep 2024 21:59:59
Thank you ckps 1976 my sediments exactly
No one is forcing Tavares to accept 3 to 3.5 million for short term if he chooses not not there are younger more plausible options out there via free agency or trade.
19 May 2024 14:25:37

Trade jankrock for a 3rd
1.) 19 May 2024 21:13:32
The biggest issue with trading Marner to Utah, Utah wants Marner to pass to crouse and Keller so they won't give them up in the trade.
2.) 19 May 2024 21:46:42
Robertson is better than DeBrusk and cheaper.
3.) 19 May 2024 23:15:24
Debrusk performs in the playoffs. And hits fairly hard.
4.) 19 May 2024 23:22:10
@DM he really is. All those playoffs goals really helped.
5.) 20 May 2024 00:46:04
Debrusk has scored 20 + goals 3x Robertson never not to mention he is 6’1 200 lbs and rarely gets injured
Robertson is 5’9 175 lbs injury prone.
6.) 20 May 2024 00:48:04
And Utah has Keller Marner can pass to otherwise they are looking to give up a top 6 oa pick which I fk t think they intend to do.
15 Dec 2023 11:22:10
Trade Nylander for Parayanko, Neigbours and conditional second rd pick O(first if he re signs with st louis or they advance past second rd)
1.) 15 Dec 2023 12:00:00
At this point I’m open to all Nylander trades. Never had someone bother me by the way they play as much as Willy does. So soft, no 2nd effort, no drive, no backcheck, no compete for the puck, lackadaisical line changes and race for icings. Fastest guy on the ice when there is a chance to score, when he has to back check he looks like a slug. Guy has the most talent in the world, too bad he has no heart or backbone, could be better than Matthews. Sorry for this huge rant on your trade proposal. I accept. Lol.
2.) 15 Dec 2023 14:45:30
@Clarky no worries about the rant dude. we all feel it when Willy plays lazy. He is Alexei Kovalev 2.0.great when he is on his game. looks horrible when he does not feel like playing hard.
3.) 15 Dec 2023 14:59:51

As much as I like like Benoît s toughness and physically he is a mess defensively he is some one I consider trading or waiving
19 Jan 2024 15:56:22
I think whatever made Brodie collapse with Calgary on the ice has somewhat returned . The first 2 years he was a leaf he was everything u wanted out of him. Last year playoffs I saw his play drop off considerably and opening shift he falls against Montreal resulting in a goal and it has been all down hill for him since. He must have some heart or lung issue because nobody regresses that quickly. Too bad because I like his game the first 2 years he played for leafs
17 Jan 2024 11:12:01
How peculiar Nykander has not recorded a point in 4 games after signing a ridiculous contract. New it was a mistake from the get go
1.) 17 Jan 2024 17:51:24
Poor timing slump forsure but still tops of the leafs and league for points no defending the contract just hard to put it on one guy right now when the whole team stinks.
07 Jan 2024 15:04:43
Not sure if this violates The CBA but if the Leafs extend Nylander. I'm hearing 11.5 x 8yrs( a big mistake if they do he will be 36 ) can they still trade him before the deadline as he only has a 10 team no trade clause and that team would assume the extension the leafs gave him ?
1.) 07 Jan 2024 16:34:01
I'm sure they could, but who else would have signed Willy to that kind of money?
2.) 07 Jan 2024 17:04:54
This is a terrible mistake kinda like the guy who signed Huberdeau. Whoever that was?♂️.
3.) 07 Jan 2024 17:45:12
Huberdeau signing/ trade was applauded by all at the time.
Captain Hindsight is at work here.
4.) 07 Jan 2024 18:19:53
Well, meet Captain Hindsight for this Nylander deal. Nice to meet you LL! Can’t believe they would pay this guy more than Pasta. ?♂️.
5.) 07 Jan 2024 18:31:20
@LL. I would say the trade was applauded and I still think it was a good trade for Calgary. Who would ever have thunk Huberdeau would fall of a cliff. The signing I think there was some negative. I know I for one thought it was too much. Although the Weegar signing was possibly a bit of a steal.
6.) 07 Jan 2024 18:55:13
@ leafs life and clarky 17
lol yes I get it was Treliving who signed Huberdeau in hindsight to that overpaid contract. But the trade itself was great. He got Weegar Hubereau a first and good prospect for. a Guy (tkachik who publically said he wanted out not a bad trade for a guy with his hands tied. And the difference is Nylander publically states he wants to remain a leaf So I can’t figure this mess out.
7.) 07 Jan 2024 20:50:18
@Clarky I'm in total agreement on Willy. He should not be making 11+.
8.) 08 Jan 2024 03:21:03
I love Nylander, but have the agree $11+ is ridiculous. Wait till Marner get $12.5/ $13?
Just crazy!
Welcome to Toronto.
9.) 08 Jan 2024 11:48:33
Even Tags thinks it's an overpay. Didn't see that coming lol.
10.) 08 Jan 2024 14:16:38
I don't believe it breaks any rules with the CBA because his current contract would be still valid until then. What it would do, if the Leafs haven't told Nylander they may still trade him even if he signed the extension, is create a really bad PR problem for the Leafs and make it very difficult to get players to want to come/ stay here if Willy signed the agreement with good faith that he was staying.
11.) 08 Jan 2024 22:01:38
@LL I have to call a spade a spade. It's too much money for a 2RW, especially if Marner is resigned which I believe he will be.
@RLF 100% agreed.
12.) 08 Jan 2024 22:03:44
But I’m still stoked we resigned Willy.
29 Dec 2023 21:00:53
I do believe Treliving has to give Nyander a drop down date to sign well before the Trade Deadline. He does not want another Johnny Gaudreau situation and Nylanders agent is brutal
Plus they can sign him possibly in off season (hand shake arrangement) but can't risk losing him for nothing
1.) 30 Dec 2023 01:13:35
He's looking at Johnny Hockey money right now. I can't see him taking less.
I think he may have priced himself out and now he'll be an own rental.
Not a fan either, but that's what it looks like unless Shanny pays 12m.
2.) 30 Dec 2023 03:35:01
@ leafs life
Well isn’t that good I thought Johnny hockey signed for 9.5 or am I mistaken?
That would be reasonable to me he is a good player but I hate when some players play their heart out in a contract year . where was all that in past 5 seasons.
3.) 30 Dec 2023 13:33:43
He may be getting points but he is freaking terrible if he doesn’t have he pick on his stick. I personally wouldn’t give him more than 8M (and I’m fine if he walks) because he is a one dimensional lazy hockey player that only cares about his own stats. If he cared about team stats, he would back check or battle for a puck. It’s too bad that he is so soft and has no drive b cause I think he has more talent than Matthews. So much more value can be added to this than Willy for the money he wants. His Dad is his agent btw which is the reason every contract is like pulling teeth.
#TradeWillyCampaign.
4.) 30 Dec 2023 14:44:14
Gaudreau got $9.75M a season ago. It's the 11.82% of the cap Willy would want. It's contract cap % a lot of agents argue for comparison. At 11.82% of the projected cap next year, Willy would get $10.34M per season. Too much for my liking as is the $9.75M.
I have said this many times before. Willy is an amazing talent, but his lack of defensive responsibility is directly responsible for way too many scoring chances against. His lack of effort on backchecks and his backcheck choices cause too many goals against. He's a puck chaser. You can't give a guy that much money that won't play both sides of the puck. Pasta just got $11.25M per and I can't imagine anyone suggesting that Willy is even close to Pasta as an overall player. Talent is comparable for sure, but overall game? It isn't close.
5.) 30 Dec 2023 14:49:34
@L1993 sorry, should have explained that better.
Johnny Hockey signed for an overpay during a flat cap and nobody knew how long until it would go up.
Willy is signing for a significant %of the cap, like he did.

But i get and understand your point of view.
7.) 31 Dec 2023 00:13:06
1993. All good. I can see why some Want to keep Nylander.
02 Dec 2024 15:13:35
I posted the Frederic rumour a week ago, great target but he is a natural center.
27 Nov 2024 15:06:17
Frederic is definitely a center not LW
He is a poor mans Bennett who I D love to acquire but probably have to wait til summer and free agency
Oliver is a great target though for 3rd or 4 th line.
21 Oct 2024 10:48:50
Calgary would not make the trade unless Marner signs immediately like a sign and trade otherwise too much risk they could for nothing at end of season.
20 Oct 2024 17:16:16
Nice trade but doubt Marner would help the leafs by signing in Calgary med season.
18 Oct 2024 00:29:36
Gee that s funny I watched the entire game last night and every shift Kempe took was at right wing
Time to switch your source sights bud.
15 Feb 2024 00:12:38
It is to no surprise that Cowan almost 2 pts per game average leads London knights first in the OHL and Minten 1.5 points per game and leads Saskatoon Blades first overall in WHL
Drive me nuts when your giving their only future for a rental where leafs have no chance to be successful this year
They definitely should be sellers this year and keep their first pick
Next year different story as they don’t have their first (Chicago)
I wish I’m wrong trust me but their game has way way too many holes to be successful this year
They have a lot of good pieces but some guys like Brodie, Kampf, Robertson Samsonov etc are easily replaceable
Sorry for venting.
17 Jan 2024 12:40:21
@ckps1976 yes McMann not ready give Steeves a chance.

Indeed
I watched that on 2nd intermission too
And add Samsonov he can’t stop a beach ball right now.
