We save about 12 mill in cap space.

Our defence is a bit young but they are both great puck movers and are better then Hainsey and maybe zaitsev

1.) 02 Jun 2019 01:34:37
Leafs will never gain from marleau or zaitsev

I love your ideas but getting rid of marleau would cost the leafs a prospect to do so

Marleau and filip kral
To LA
For
7th rd pick

Zaitsev would not be such a harsh deal but would still cost leafs a prospect

Zaitev and Stotts
To any team willing
For
5th rd pick

The brown deal is closest to reality

The gardiner and hainsey deals can't happen as they are both ufa

Other than that good ideas.

2.) 02 Jun 2019 02:32:19
I like the first 2 trades, although not sure Carolina does it.

However, both Hainsey and Gardiner are UFAs.

3.) 02 Jun 2019 03:55:56
Wow this is bad.

4.) 03 Jun 2019 00:23:55
I like the Gardiner for Larsson trade the best. Especially if Edmonton retains. Man, that would be a real homerun.

The Hainsey one is a good one too. I wonder if we could get as high as a 3rd round for him. Bit of a stretch I know, but would be fantastic.

1.) 30 May 2019 21:31:55
So uh.

Winnipeg doesn’t do that at all imo. Toronto would be adding a bit to Kadri not the other way.

Maroon is a UFA, absolutely no need for that.

That Pesce trade is literallly Timashov, Zaitsev and a 2nd for Pesce, Staal and a 2nd. Just say the 2nds cancel, now you got negative value in Z for a top4 dman and a good second-third line centre. Cause Gardinee is a UFA.

and you won't get a 5th for hainsey.

2.) 30 May 2019 22:32:15
As much as some Leaf fans are trying to sucker a team into taking Kadri who has troubling baggage, the Jets wouldn't trade Trouba or Ehlers for him. You already stole Petan from the Jets who I believe never got a chance to play with skilled players in Winnipeg and could be a very surprising player for the Leafs. I really don't see the Jets and the Leafs making an big trades in the near future.

3.) 31 May 2019 02:08:18
Kadri would be a non-starter for Trouba. About the only piece you have that you would be willing to trade would be Nylander. Nylander though would only work if the Jets scouts were absolutely convinced Nylander could play center in the NHL full time. If that were the case Nylander and picks or prospects might get you in the game.

4.) 01 Jun 2019 09:02:50
I have a gut feeling that you Jets fans are going to be disappointed with the return Trouba brings.

30 Apr 2019 12:28:30
Look I know I may be the only leaf fan who has this opinion but to be honest I still believe in it. I really don't believe we overplayed Nylander. I truly believe that Nylander will have a good season this year as long as he gets to play with Matthews. Playing him with Marleau is pointless because personally I think he should retire. Anyway, I think where we have to save some cap is in our depth. So this is what I would do this offseason.

What do you guys think

1.) 30 Apr 2019 12:48:31
Sandin is untouchable.

2.) 30 Apr 2019 22:57:41
And that’s WAY to much for Montour.

3.) 01 May 2019 08:04:43
Buffalo trade Guhle and 1st for Montour, so the offer here is about right. I’d rather have Montour, who is proven, then Sandin, who is still a question mark.

17 Mar 2019 18:09:40
A couple of offseason moves.
1st move is to let gardiner walk and replace him with lillegreen. Then trade Marleau wick I know has that no trade thing but if he could go back to a team like San Jose then he wouldn't mind. So send him, zaitsev and brown for montour on the sabres. Still clears a lot of cap. Sign everyone else and lineup next year should look like this
Hyman Tavares Marner
Johnsson Matthess Nylander
Ennis Kadri Kapanen
Moore Gauthier Petan

Riley Muzzin
Dermott Montour
Lillegreen Hainsey

1.) 17 Mar 2019 20:27:21
Wouldn't mind going to San Jose so trade him to buffalo?

2.) 17 Mar 2019 22:50:47
Ha ha ha this was a good one, made me laugh. You lead me down this one path to find out it was Buffalo where you plan to trade him too!

3.) 18 Mar 2019 00:46:14
Montour is a very highly rated top 50 defenseman and 1RHD. Buffalo gave up an A-prospect in Guhle plus a 1st for Montour. A very steep price indeed. I don’t see them downgrading to Zaitsev for a year of the oldest player in the league plus a depth roster player. As much as I love both Brown and Marleau, the value just isn’t there.

4.) 18 Mar 2019 16:36:47
He wouldn't mind going back to the Sharks? And you know this how, exactly? Did you ask him?

12 Mar 2019 20:53:25
Guys first off, feel free to chirp me or to hate on my post. But I know gardiner May choke but I've never seen someone give the puck away more then marincin. So I'll would be willing to trade him for an extra pylon to be used in practise. Can someone tell me if one of these guys aren't injured. Rosen, Borgman, lillegreen, Sandin. They would all make better options then the Defense we have right now. Also the lineup could look a bit differently. So this is my lineup when everyone is healthily.
Hyman Tavares Marner
Kadri Matthews Kapanen
Johnsson Nylander Marleau
Ennis Gauthier Brown

Riley Dermott
Muzzin Zaitsev
Gardiner Hainsey

1.) 12 Mar 2019 22:22:32
Liljergren and Sandin are not injured not sure about the other two.

2.) 13 Mar 2019 00:25:52
Liljegren last 5 games 1g 2a

Sandin last 5 games 1g 4a

I can understand not using Sandin but why not Liljegren look at what happened with dermott last year.

3.) 13 Mar 2019 02:23:44
Marincin is free agent end of this year. It’s too late to trade him, but at least you don’t need to worry about him coming back. Rosen and Borgman weren’t on the roster for the game against the Belleville Senators last night, so I assume they are still hurt. Sandin and Liljeren are both back from injury and playing very well.

Given all the chirping old man Hainsey takes on this sote, maybe I’m the only one that’s noticed he’s leading the league in +/ -? At +35 you got to think that the old boy is still relevant. I wouldn’t be surprised if Leafs re-sign him for another year. He’s cheap, experienced, and can obviously still play the game at an elite level. The injuries to Sandin and Liljegren probably mean they won’t start the season on the Leafs next year. Borgman and Rosen are still question marks too. Definitely not top line players if they do make the team out of camp. Which means we probably only have one open spot on the roster, Gardiner’s.

Reilly/ Hainsey
Muzzin/ Zaitsev
Dermott/ (? )

4.) 13 Mar 2019 17:10:56
I agree with you with Hainsey, 1 year $1.5 MM.

Leafs trade Dermott + Zaitsev + Rasenen + 2nd for Manson + Ritchie.

Kadri for Pesce

Leafs Defense
Reilly Manson
Muzzin Pesce
Rosen Hainsey Total $19.4

Leafs Forward
Johnsson Matthews Kapanen
Hyman Tavares Marner
Marleau Nylander Ennis/ Bracco
Ritchie Gaulthier Moore
Total $57 MM

Anderson Sparks Kessel Total $6.95 MM

Total 83.3.

Now that our season is over I believe it's going to be a busy offseason. Here are some moves I think should be made so that we can still at least have a pretty good team next year. Keep in mind I know this may not happen but I'm hoping Nylander has a big year.

Let gardiner walk and trade Kadri and Marleau for Braun in San Jose and maybe some picks. SAN Jose wants to win either this year or next year. Then trade zaitsev and a prospect with a pick for Brett Pesce.

We take in around 6-7 mill and we give away around 14 million. So now we have 7 million in extra to sign players. I do believe we will have to let someone like brown go buy maybe not. Team should look something like this

Hyman Tavares Marner
Johnson Matthews Kapanen
Moore Nylander Brown
Ennis Gauthier Bracco

Riley Dermott
Muzzin Pesce
Braun Hainsey

1.) 24 Apr 2019 22:52:11
Marleau has a NMC. He'll definitely be a Leaf next year. You'll need to move someone else to clear cap.

2.) 25 Apr 2019 13:14:46
What Marleau needs is a bout of Lupalitis. Just imagine making $6+m a year to watch hockey, hell i watch it every year for nothing.

3.) 26 Apr 2019 17:57:41
The number one problem the Leafs face - the coach and GM don't agree on players or style of play. The coach said he wanted players that play heavier. The GM gave him Petan. The GM wants a fast, skilled team. The coach plays Hainsey on his top pairing.
They can never amount to anything if Dubas and Babcock can't agree. One of them has to give in or one of them has to go.
Today's poll question - who would you replace, Babcock or Dubas?

4.) 02 May 2019 17:59:05
If Quennville was still available, I would replace Babs with him. None of the available coaches really turn my crank. Babs is still widely regarded as one of the best, if not THE best coach in the game. Replacing him will be very difficult. It’s the first year these two have worked together in their current roles. The team is still way ahead of the scheduled turnaround. It was hoped they would be making the playoffs, but certainly no one would have predicted them to be cup favorites. Babcock was signed to 8 year contract for a reason. The turnaround was expected to take much longer. They are still a young team experiencing growing pains. That’s all. It’s not like they were the only team to disappoint this post-season. At least they didn’t get swept like Tampa. If Leafs fail to make it past first round next year, we might see a coaching change. Especially if they lose to Boston again. But for this year anyway I’m pretty sure Babs job is safe for at least another season.

14 Apr 2019 22:23:31
So Kadri will prob be gone for at least 3 games and could possibly get suspended for the rest of the series. Now I'm not mad at him at all for doing it. I actually think he needed to stand up for himself. This post really isn't about nazem but it's about line combinations going forward. The obvious choice is to put Nylander center but I don't think that's the case. These are what think the lineup should look like for game 3.

Hyman Tavares Marner
Johnson Matthews Nylander
Ennis Marleau Kapanen
Moore Gauthier Brown

Riley Hainsey
Muzzin Gardiner
Dermott Zaitsev

Think about it. The first line matches up great with the Bergeron line. I put Nylander with Matthews because Kapanen isn't getting the job done plus Nylander has a goal and despite giving the bruins a free goal he has stepped up his game. I think Marleau matches up better with coyle rather then Nylander because coyle is a more defensive center who can shut Nylander down

31 Mar 2019 16:25:35
Alright so clearly something isn't working here if we've lost to Ottawa 3 times in one year and twice recently. So clearly something needs to change. With the deadline gone the only thing that can change is lines and roster moves. Here are my ideas for lineups against Boston.

Hyman Matthews Nylander
Johnsson Tavares Marner
Moore Kadri Kapanen
Marleau Gauthier Brown

Riley Dermott
Muzzin Zaitsev
Gardiner Hainsey

Power play lines
Matthews Nylander Johnson
Riley Muzzin

Hyman Tavares Marner
Gardiner Ennis

1.) 02 Apr 2019 22:59:04
I’d like to see Marleau, or more preferably, Nylander, take 3C and put Kadri 1LW. Along with Johnsson and Kapanen, that would be one of the fastest lines in the league no doubt.

2.) 06 Apr 2019 19:59:46
Honestly you guys have the fire power the goalie. All you are lacking is good defense. Maybee by adding a true defenseman, (one who actually plays defense first, scores points, second) and a 1 or 2 good two way forwards you would a crazy good team.

21 Mar 2019 20:01:17
Guys we all need to calm down. Don't worry about our toughness. Because like how are other teams going to hit us if they can't even keep up to ya. But seriously I don't think toughness is the issue. And maybe a gardiner trade at the deadline for Simmonds and gudas would be ideal. But it didn't happen and we have to work with what we got gong into the playoffs. With that being said here's the lineup I think we should go into the playoffs with
Johnson Mathews Nylander
Hyman Tavares Marner
Moore Kadri Kapanen
Marleau Gauthier Brown

Riley Dermott
Muzzin Zaitsev
Gardiner Hainsey

Then next year we let gardiner and Hainsey walk. Trade zaitsev and some picks/prospect for someone like Pesce on Carolina. Sign Marner and even trade brown if necessary. Lineup predictions for next year.

1.) 22 Mar 2019 12:59:47
As long as Babcock is the coach you will never see Hyman out of the top 6 he does to much for his line.

14 Mar 2019 18:08:37
I have a quick question to ask. Is Hortons contract affecting our cap situation and if it is then is it possible to get rid of his contract

1.) 15 Mar 2019 13:52:22
Hortons cap affects the leafs cap during the offseason. As soon as the season starts he is placed on LTIR and is burried for the entire year. Every team can go over their cap by 10% during the offseason but must become cap compliant at start of season.

2.) 15 Mar 2019 15:51:26
Are we using hortons LTIR I thought I saw that we haven’t used it.

3.) 16 Mar 2019 01:53:14
Well stated @16 except should read "can be placed". You are right @Leafs1994, the Leafs aren't using the LTIR on Horton right now. Contrary to popular belief, a players salary does not disappear on LTIR, it is always on the books. LTIR changes the cap maximum for a team and as such teams try to maximize cap hit before using LTIR. Example; if the cap is $80M and a team is at $76M cap hit, then moving a player ($5M) to LTIR will increase cap for that team to $81M (76+5=81). If they wait until their cap hit is at $79M then their cap increases to $84M (79+5=84). That is why teams wait as long as possible to use LTIR.
