Why go after Bennett at 8-10 million when you can try and make a trade for a guy that would love to come back and play for his hometown team again. What kind of a package would it take to get Kadri back???? And he's making 7 million!!
1.) 13 Jun 2025 21:50:12
Because Bennett as of right now is probably top 5 in the NHL as a playoff performer. What do the Leafs need? It’s like a perfect match. Kadri is making 7.5M for like the next 6 years and is gonna be old and wrinkly by the time this deal is done.
2.) 14 Jun 2025 00:14:30
Actually Kadri’s contract is for $7 million per year not $7.5
Also Kadri is under contract for 4 more years NOT 6 more years.
3.) 14 Jun 2025 03:06:44
Kadri is at an age where we can reasonably expect a significant decline. that's a bad, bad contract to take on without serious retention.

Looks great if this was 2010. This made our team way worse. No to Patty Kane not what we need.
2.) 30 May 2025 22:14:52
Hard pass on Kane.
3.) 31 May 2025 18:00:45
Tavares is not a 2c anymore. Like Rielly gone. But Byram as his replacement no thanks.
23 May 2025 22:30:09
Shanahan signs as president with the Islanders and goes after Marner in a sign and trade with Toronto, McMann, Steeves, Robertson for Dobson in a sign and trade 8x6.5m

Kampf, Järnkrok anywhere for 2025 4th

Why on earth with the Islanders do a sign and trade for marner? They can just sign him. The eighth year is meaningless.
2.) 23 May 2025 23:41:25
They give up a young, top pairing, RHD for the 8th year? Don't think so.
3.) 24 May 2025 02:09:15
A lot of nothing for Dobson a 25 year old, top 4, RHD.
Islanders never agree.
Reilly, whom Leafs would love to off load, for McTavish and a 3rd makes absolutely no sense from Anaheim’s perspective.
Reilly is well into the down side of his career.
Brock Nelson will be 34 years old by the beginning of next season. A 3 year contract takes him to 37 years old.
Gourde will be 34 before the end of the year.
A 4 year contract takes him to 38.
Brandon Tanev will be 34 by the end of the year.
A two year contract takes him to 36.
Please, for god sakes, no more seniors on the Leafs.
The NHL is becoming more and more of a young man’s game with each passing year.
Your lineup, with Chris Tanev (35), Tavares (34) if resigned and OEL (33), has the Leafs the oldest team in the league.
With virtually no draft picks and no prospects (Cowan and maybe Danford) this seems like a very poor way to build a team.
Better off to spend and commit as little money as possible to this years weak crop of free agents and wait until next year when the free agent class is the best in over a decade.
4.) 24 May 2025 14:44:11
Shanahan by rumours was one of the reasons marner didn’t want to sign with Leafs.
5.) 25 May 2025 01:38:54
David1mackin.
Very interesting!
I had not heard or read that.
Was Shanahan’s departure an attempt to rectify that rift between Marner and the Leafs in the hopes of resigning him?
I have never been a Marner fan since he held the Leafs to ransom with threats of signing an offer sheet to force the Leafs to accede to his financial demands coming out of his ELC.
At the same time I recognize that he is a top 10 - 12 forward in the League and simply can not be replaced.
Quite the dilemma for the Leafs and Marner who will be vilified by Leaf Nation for turning down the trade with Carolina for Rantanen and then walking away with Leafs receiving no compensation.
21 May 2025 01:30:25
I like the idea of trading Rilley.
Let Marner walk or flip his rights for a draft pick(or even assign trade)
Resign Tavares to take it or leave it three year $5 million
Resign Knies to an eight year $7 million
Resign Lorentz to a 3 year $1.5 million
Sign Brandon Tanev 3 year $1.5 million
Trade Robertson and Kampf to Anaheim for MacTavish
Trade Jarnkrok to Pittsburgh for a fifth round pick this year
Riley to San Jose for Dallas first round pick 2025 And Florida2026 fourth round pick
Sign Brock Nelson for year $6 million
Domi is on short leash not performing trade him in season

On what planet do you live, that you think Robertson and Kamph get you back McTavish?
2.) 22 May 2025 01:06:32
FYI Nelson is a centremen not a winger ??.
03 Mar 2025 16:46:21
Schenn for Timmons and 25 5th
Laughton for Holmberg, Steeves and 25 2nd &3rd
Kampf for Tanev
McTavish for Hildeby and future ( Robertson after playoffs)
Off season try and get Dobson for Cowan and 26 1st
1.) 03 Mar 2025 20:22:29
Flyers trade maybe. Others are laughable and rejected by the other teams quickly.
2.) 04 Mar 2025 02:31:50
McTavish for Hildeby and Robertson (later? ) .
Ducks are insulted and hang up.
3.) 04 Mar 2025 20:05:06
lol. Ducks trade is ridiculous for them.

Why haven't they signed Tanev yet!!! They are screwing themselves if they don't do it before free agency . If it's after the deadline then it's an over 35 contract and buyout counts fully
1.) 01 Jul 2024 14:35:26
They have him signed now.
2.) 01 Jul 2024 14:42:59
We just did for 6 years at 4.5M.
30 Jun 2023 23:48:45
Can you please sign Schenn already!!!!
1.) 01 Jul 2023 01:32:44
Depends on the number.
Schenn's put together a few good seasons for himself now. He might be looking at a 3x3 from someone. I would not sign schenn to that.
2.) 01 Jul 2023 20:33:27
Schenn to Nashville I think 3 yrs 2.75
A little rich but will be missed
Thanks Schenn for giving us a good 2nd look at u. You’ve become a beast and enjoy Nashville
So Nashville has a cap hit of 6.55 for duchene and johansen and cap hit of 7.685 for Nyquist and oreilly. So 14.235 vs 16. Next year that cap hit goes up to 9.55 for those 2 meaning 17.235 is the cap on the 2 forwards replacing them. 3rd year johansen off books but duchene goes up to 6.55 and with Nyquist 3.185 and oreillys 4.5 jumps up to 11 million cap hit for the guy he replaced. Final year of oreilly contract duchene drops to 1.55 meaning oreilly is a6.05 against cap. Then Nashville keeps getting a cap hit if 1.55 for 2 more years. I mean yes they owed duchene 20 million and saved 11 in the end and saved 8 while paying 8 for johansen but 19 million saved vs
18 million actual dollars
saved but 24.37 spent on 2 replacing players.
Just thought I’d brake it down on how Nashville saved 12 million over 4 years in real money
48.475 is the 4 year cap hit used to replace 2 hits where johansen 16 over 2 and duchene 24 over 3 is 40 over 3
Anyways hope u liked the clarity and if not whatever Nashville isn't any better
So oreilly enjoy Nashville.

With the need for 2 new assistances why not add from the farm and hire AJ MacLean. And then add good o'l dad in Paul MacLean . He was a great addition to the Blue Jackets bench which just beat Toronto.
1.) 18 Aug 2020 02:46:44
I agree it's not a bad move. Boudreau is the hope for us all but if not then their are replacements.
2.) 19 Aug 2020 23:29:11
Jacques Martin anyone?
17 Aug 2020 02:21:53
All this talk of assistant coaches. Just get it over with. AJ MacLean is all ready in the system with the Marlies ( would be a great addition. Hockey is in the blood). And then hire his dad Paul MacLean. Lots of experience and was on the bench with the blue jackets that just bet the leafs.
DONE
1.) 19 Aug 2020 23:37:15
Jacques Martin maybe? "Anyone? Anyone? "
(That's a quite from Ferris Bueller's Day Off btw) .
21 Jan 2020 22:08:13
Why don't the Leafs try to sign Andrew MacDonald.. he blocks shots like nobody and eats minutes . Yes he was on a bad contact but so are a lot of other players. He would cost you nothing in picks or prospects. I'm sure he would sign league minimum as he's still getting paid. He played pretty well in the Spengler Cup. And while they are at it why not try to sign Scotty Upshall ( veteran leadership) and Alex Grant( for the Marlies and maybe a call up)
28 Jan 2025 22:59:05
Forgot SL.
28 Dec 2023 01:43:10
Who said anything about sending Hildebyto the Wild?
16 May 2023 10:14:25
That’s funny I was thinking something similar.
To the Ducks.
Marner, Lilejgren, Robertson and 2023 1st
To the Leafs
McTavish, Drysdale and 2023 1st ( second overall )
12 Mar 2021 18:46:26
Tweak it a bit. Comtois, Kesler ( LTIR purposes) and a 2nd for Liljegren, Vesey and the 1st.
22 Jan 2021 15:04:42
Nope!
