Toffoli to leafs for Mikheyev, Holl and Engvall.

Max Domi to leafs for Amirov and Kase.

Time to toughen up... can't have this no grit thing we've seen recently.

Toffoli/Matthews/Marner
Domi/Tavares/Nylander
Bunting/Kerfoot/Simmonds
Clifford/Kampf/Spezza

Rielly/Brodie
Muzzin/Dermott
Sandin/Liljegren

13/18 Canadians too, many from the GTA and playing for their favourite team growing up. This team would have tons of heart, grit and skill.

Tell me how your going to be able to afford both Toffoli and Domi. You just can’t afford them both.


2.) 06 Dec 2021 23:17:34
4.25+5.3 for Toffoli and Domi. Mikheyev+Holl+Engvall+Kase leaves you a bit short on the cap.

Beyond any cap situations though, I don't want overpaid, whiny Domi.


3.) 07 Dec 2021 00:43:51
Kane is as good as Domi and adding Amiov (a 15th overall pick)
to the trade makes it a huge overpayment.


4.) 07 Dec 2021 01:24:55
Which Kane @WB? if you mean evander they would pay Dubas 3 1sts and retain half just to dump him off lol.


5.) 07 Dec 2021 08:56:07
Domis nothing like his father, don't need em.


6.) 07 Dec 2021 12:25:33
I think WB meant Kase, not Kane. As mentioned, we don't have the cap space and no desire for Domi.


7.) 08 Dec 2021 01:47:42
@Ye why would Domi being like his father help? His father doesn't even make the AHL in today's game.


8.) 08 Dec 2021 14:00:20
ell me how 4 goals and 7 assists for 11 points in 14 games is bad. And a + 3 rating? He obviously can play and is has been on a 3rd line in Columbus for quite awhile. Sending him home to play with Tavares or Matthews would do him wonders. And we'd have someone who could actually drop the gloves and be the spark we had when we had Kadri.


 

 

02 Dec 2021 23:22:16
Kadri 50% retained to leafs for Dermott, Robertson, Hollowell and a 3rd round pick.

Kadri/Matthews/Marner
Bunting/Tavares/Nylander

Been through the Kadri show before. He brings nothing to the playoffs but suspensions.

leafs trade: Holl, Engvall, 2nd round draft pick to arizona for kessel 50% retained.

Kessel/Matthews/Marner

1.) 22 Nov 2021 07:45:34
I don't think another disinterested player is the answer.


2.) 22 Nov 2021 12:46:15
I have no interest for Kessel as I have posted numerous times. I guess my question is, why do people have an interest in Kessel?


3.) 22 Nov 2021 15:48:37
Still a good goal scorer does well in our system.


4.) 22 Nov 2021 17:16:24
RLF facts I don’t get it.


5.) 22 Nov 2021 18:16:26
@Leafsguy. Is he and Does he? He's 34 and has 3 goals this year. He is horrible defensively and the Leafs are trying to play a more defensive conscious game. He has always been given the majority of his starts in the O-zone, 60+% every year. 5 of his 9 pts this year have come on the PP. Who is he playing with? Who is he replacing on the PP where he is most useful?

@Adam. No sure what you mean. You mean - you don't get the interest in Kessel either?


6.) 28 Nov 2021 14:41:02
They're just finishing paying for Kessel, why would they pick him back up.


 

 

15 Nov 2021 18:56:51
Leafs trade: Nick Robertson, Rodion Amirov, Justin Holl, Ilya Mikheyev and a 2nd round pick to Penguins for Sidney Crosby.

Crosby/Matthews/Nylander
Bunting/Tavares/Marner
Ritchie/Spezza/Kase
Semyonov/Kampf/Simmonds

Rielly/Brodie
Muzzin/Subban

Leafs trade: Kerfoot, Holl and amirov to ducks for Josh Manson.

Leafs trade: Travis Dermott and Engvall to blue jackets for Max Domi.

New lines for now until Mikheyev is healthy.

Bunting/Matthews/Nylander
Domi/Tavares/Marner
Ritchie/Kampf/Kase
Simmonds/Semyonov/Spezza

Rielly/Manson
Muzzin/Brodie
Sandin/Liljegren

sure all this "I don't want Max domi talk" but he's gritty and he can also be a spark toronto needs. I think it'd be a good fit. Defense looks tough and speedy at the same time, then we also have: Ritchie, Simmonds, Manson and Domi policing the ice.

eltzy15

1.) 11 Nov 2021 20:29:34
Imo. overpayment for Manson and I have no desire for Domi. It is his attitude I don't want, not how he plays.


2.) 12 Nov 2021 01:15:21
Serious overpayment for Manson who is long past his due date.
Domi seems to have a major problem with injuries.
Not bulletproof like his dad.


3.) 12 Nov 2021 04:31:56
He skates like his dad though @waterbuffalo

I haven't seen anything from Domi that makes me think he helps a team in a major way.

What is Keefe doing with the roster!?!??!?
Easy fix

Bunting/Matthews/Marner
Robertson/Tavares/Nylander
Jarnkrok/Kerfoot/Malgin
Simmonds/Kampf/Aube-Kubel

Sandin/Rielly
Brodie/Holl
Giordano/Villenueve

When D healthy

Muzzin/Rielly
Sandin/Brodie
Giordano/Holl

Yes lefties with lefties. Better pairing with their styles.

A much better team.

eltzy15

1.) 19 Oct 2022 20:55:13
Muzzin is out indefinitely as far as I know. He was put in LTIR so it's going to be at least 10 days and I foresee much, much longer.

You forgot my man Liljigren! He'll be back in a few weeks and should be getting top 4 minutes.

I think defence is going to be;

Rielly-Brodie
Sandin-Holl
Gio-Lili

For most of the season.


2.) 21 Oct 2022 07:32:50
Muzzin will never play a game again. Leafs could have traded him but didnt NOW stuck with him retirig and getting nothing except cap relief which is better than nothing.


3.) 21 Oct 2022 20:18:13
He was just put on ir not ltir in theory could play next monday.

Perry/Blackwell/Simmonds

Rielly/Lyubushkin
Sandin/Brodie

Gibson
Woll

2022 Stanley cup champs

1.) 03 Jun 2022 16:45:55
I can see where bertuzzi and lemieux come from, but what did you then trade to get Gibson?


2.) 04 Jun 2022 06:06:45
I'm going to play the guessing game here.

1st, Niemela, Hollowell for Gibson.

Let me know if I'm right.

You also have a bunch of people on the wrong wing. Some can switch without an issue (like defence man), but some can't) .


 

 

27 Oct 2021 21:26:55
leafs should sign kovalchuk.

eltzy15

1.) 28 Oct 2021 00:56:37
Don’t forget Tretiak!


2.) 28 Oct 2021 00:57:35
If he's willing to play for league minimum I wouldn't hate it but I'm not sure where he fits in. Eventually Mikheyev will be back and I'm assuming Bunting stays top 6. Ritchie is 100% better than Kovalchuk as a 3rd liner and I would prefer Simmonds on the 4th.


3.) 28 Oct 2021 13:50:10
We don't need Kovalchuk imo.
Do we not have enough older guys that are not very fast anymore? Should we bring back Jumbo as well?


 

 

27 Oct 2021 04:40:20
I don't care what leafs to do these players, either trade or demote them but they NEED to go with this line up to be more balanced in scoring, speed, playmaking and grit. for now, then lines after mikheyev and Robertson are healthy.


Bunting/Matthews/Nylander
Gabriel/Tavares/Marner
Ritchie/Kerfoot/Spezza
Simmonds/Kampf/Ho-sang

Rielly/Sandin
Muzzin/Brodie
Dermott/Mennell

Engvall, Holl and Kase traded or taxi squad.

When fully healthy

Bunting/Matthews/Nylander
Mikheyev/Tavares/Marner
Ritchie/Kerfoot/Spezza
Robertson/Kampf/Simmonds

same D or try Dahlstrom if Mennell doesn't work out.

Leafs trade: Engvall, Holl and Malgin to any teams for picks. They have to rid this guys. I can't see them playing ahead of the others in the lineup below. Sure, engvall is good, but with who we have cheaper is he worth 1.5 mil? Where does he fit? Same with Malgin. And Holl. Let gauthier walk too. With all these signings we have endless depth. Boyd, Anderson, Korshkov, Petan, Agostino, Brazeau, Etc.

Idea:

Leafs should rotate between Thornton, Spezza, Anderson and Barabanov. I don't see what else to do here. Barabanov and Anderson won't play ahead of Robertson. Joe and spezza might be okay with having some off days to save them for the playoff push/post season. Plus there getting the minimum. They don't need to play 82 games. Preserve them so there healthy and good to go for the post season. Also condition barabanov and and Anderson for deadline deals potentially. Imo Robertson is Fully ready. If he doesn't get a full time spot, trade him now while he has high value. Same with Alexander barabanov. I just feel there too good to not play and there's too many potential regular season bottom 6 players for no more moves to be made. People won't be happy being sent down, scratched, brought up constantly and it will mess all of the chemistry and emotions up. I feel Robertson needs to be kept no matter what. I feel these players in the line up below are all good to play this year. I want to see this line up opening night, and kept the same way as much as they can through the season. Joey Anderson and Barabanov healthy scratches but are put it some days to rest joe or spezza when needed. Barabanov also has mad pick handling skills and is a good Passer, skater and play maker and he will help Thornton or spezza score some goals and add some speed. Same with Joey Anderson. Great skater, forechecks and hits hard so I don't see these guys not being played or being made not useful. This is what I wanna see regularly with the exception of Anderson and barabanov coming in. Travis Boyd here for injuries.

Hyman/Matthews/Nylander
Mikheyev/Tavares/Marner
Vesey/Kerfoot/Simmonds
Robertson/Thornton/Spezza

Rielly/Brodie
Muzzin/Dermott
Lehtonen/Bogosian

Anderson
Campbell

Pp1

Simmonds/Tavares/Matthews
Marner/Rielly

Pp2
Nylander/Thornton/Mikheyev
Brodie/Spezza

Robertson has either two amazing leaders to help him thrive, and also they'll both drop the gloves. Or he has barabanov to make plays with or Anderson to add the extra pick retrieving, going in corners Effectively and grit on his line. If he kills it, he's bumped to the kerfoot line and has Simmonds to back him up and police the ice.

Thoughts?

I wouldn't necesarily say spezza will drop the gloves fir him. That fight in the playoffs was like the 4th of his career. That's like saying sundin would drop the gloves for you. I also feel those lines are kind of built 1a 1b 3a 3b. I think I would split the lines up with a talent on each line and just roll lines.

Hyman Matthews kerfoot
Vesey tavares simmonds
Micheyev thorton nylander
Robertson spezza marner

Alright so the 4 best shooters on the team

Matthews
Robertson
Nylander
Tavares

The 4 best passers on the team
Thorton
Marner
Kerfoot
Nylander/ matthews/ Tavares

The 4 best grinders on the team
Hyman
Simmonds
.
.

We don't really know what vesey is yet. But this team spreads out the talent, we give robertson the best set up man 9n our team. These 3 should pray on other teams 4th lines.
Thorton should set up nylander a fair bit especially against 3rd line competition

That 2nd line should be punishing to play against. If vesey can figure out his nhl game, it could be a deadly line.

Tip line kerfoot is a good passer, we know hyman and Matthews have good chemistry. Also if kerfoot puts up 60-70 points beside matthews, his value sky rockets and we can ditch his contract after this year to give hyman a raise. I think to keep reilly in 2 years the leafs are going to downgrade in net. I hope Campbell gets 35-40 starts this year so we can see what we have in him.


2.) 17 Oct 2020 18:34:39
Spezza isn't a fighter lol. He just made a veteran move and tried to motivate his team.


3.) 17 Oct 2020 20:45:14
Spezza is a goon.

If you watch the recap there was only one goal Woll should have had. The other 4 were actually really good plays and shots and most goalies would have had a hard time. Buffalo has also been surprisingly good. Woll actually saved us when our defence played like cheeks. it was his first game. Why not say screw it and give him a chance? we also have Ian Scott we can call upon too.

I agree he is getting better. our luck wed trade him then he'd turn out like mason marchment and be a 2nd liner, he has potential. I say keep him around.

Spezza and Thornton both sit some games then it's:

Lemeuix/ Matthews/ Marner
Hyman/ Tavares/ Kassian
Robertson/ Kerfoot/ Vesey
Barabanov/ Brooks/ Simmonds.
