Tor: marner
Avs: rantanen
Why not? Both on expiring deals both team end up with high end players I think market would wave for this trade idk what rantanen has for trade protection
1.) 14 Jul 2024 15:01:45
I think we keep Marner for the year and try to trade him for an elite goalie either at the trade deadline or at the draft. Once in a lifetime trade chip to acquire such an important piece and shave cap space.
Other path take JT money and extend him as he’s still a young franchise type player.
2.) 14 Jul 2024 15:21:14
Ghetto thought has crossed my mind, but colorado has won a cup, so why trade your elite talent for one that's costs more and hasn't done much I the playoffs.
3.) 14 Jul 2024 17:03:58
Roughly the same age, Rantanen on a better contract, and is a better player. I believe Avs say no.
4.) 15 Jul 2024 10:29:36
Ironically, wasn't Rantonen the pick after Marner?
5.) 15 Jul 2024 12:12:05
Doesn’t do either team any good, especially Toronto. Solves nothing going forward.
6.) 15 Jul 2024 13:28:56
I would never trade a top asset for a goalie they never work out… this trade doesn’t solve the cap issue but it’s two elite players for one another Colorado probably says no but it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
11 Jul 2024 11:05:37
A bit of a lateral move but since this player always gets brought up I thought of this one.
Tor: kampf
Sjs: goodrow
Goodrow doesn't wanna be a shark he wants to compete for a cup he doesn't bring a lot point wise but to me come playoffs he's the type of guy you want he's more aggressive he finds ways to score and he can shut guys down
1.) 11 Jul 2024 13:27:36
Goodrow is pricier. Might have to include Reaves.
2.) 11 Jul 2024 13:50:36
I’d love having Goodrow. Like you said he shows up in playoffs. That should be the #1 trait the Leafs are looking at right now.
3.) 11 Jul 2024 14:38:47
@hrenklin yes he makes more forsure but you can make that work if it’s gets you further in the playoffs.
4.) 12 Jul 2024 08:32:36
Lol yes offering Reaves as incentive would definitely seal the deal
Hrenklin’s posts are hilarious ?.
10 Jul 2024 13:06:38
I'd like to see a package of
Liljgren Robertson
For
A 3C I like Laughton and I like
Faksa
leafs need another centre that can be a factor at both ends our pk was dog poop last year trading guys like kampf and jarnkrok for nothing doesn't improve it
1.) 10 Jul 2024 14:18:35
Rather give that to Col and grab Colton who imo can move into the 2nd c spot and bump Tavares to 3c.
2.) 11 Jul 2024 02:47:12
Colorado was looking to move Colton pre free agency now I doubt they would consider it.
07 Jul 2024 00:39:00
Tor: Tavares Robertson 2026 1st
Pit: Crosby
Outside the box trade more of a fantasy trade but it would give us Sid the kid plus cap space dubas gets "his guys" jt just has to fly over the pond for a year
1.) 07 Jul 2024 02:56:19
That's a really interesting one.
I like it Goat.
It's one of those "this will never happen" trades, but it makes perfect sense for both teams.
The one thing I'd say is, if Crosby were moved for an 11m cap dump, they could probably get more.
Love the prop. Really original.
28 Jun 2024 16:17:57
Here's one I thought of this morning
Tor: liljgren jarnkrok 2026 1st top ten protected
Nyr: trouba (3mil retained) kakko
The rangers are clearly trying to clear cap space and they have wanted to move kakko so leafs give up pieces that they can flip or keep and Toronto gets a guy that they want hard physical rhd short term deal and a depth scorer
1.) 28 Jun 2024 17:06:47
Trouba is third pairing
Kakko is a bust.
2.) 28 Jun 2024 17:18:53
Throw Kamph in to make the money work better.
3.) 28 Jun 2024 18:15:28
@wendlelclark I mean that’s your opinion but trouba and kakko would be upgrades right now.
4.) 28 Jun 2024 19:17:03
Trouble would fit well with Reilly. And kakko could be a decent player should we move Marner.
5.) 29 Jun 2024 00:22:18
Hrenklin…get a grip
Kakko is 4th line maybe 3rd line and gets 12-15 goals
Lol, yes solid replacement for Marner??.

All this talk about Cowan and minten making the leafs but I don't think either do greboykin hasn't gotten much love from anyone but when you look at the player he's physically mature has a two way game isn't afraid to go to the dirty areas and he put up 19 goals in the khl against men not teenagers and was the captain and lead his team to a gargin cup to me he seems most likely to get a spot.
Knies Matthews marner
Mcmann domi willy
Greboykin Tavares jarnkrok
Reaves kampf dewar
1.) 20 Jul 2024 02:41:57
Yes, I'm really looking forward to see what Grebyonkin brings.
I do think he starts in the AHL though, but I do think he'll be one of the first call ups.
2.) 20 Jul 2024 02:47:35
BTW I think he is going with his name spelled
Grebenkin.
3.) 20 Jul 2024 02:53:56
Good call. Completely forget he exists sometimes.
4.) 20 Jul 2024 21:30:31
Grebyonkin could be a real find. I spoke of him a while ago. The weathermac was the first person I remember talking about him on here. He goes to the net. Decent size and physicality. Good shot and skater. He seems to have the kind of game that could transition to NHL ice size. I called out McMann a couple years ago as my horse, Grebyonkin would be it this year.
5.) 21 Jul 2024 00:02:48
"Dark horse"
18 Jul 2024 17:55:09
Would the leafs be wise to reup knies now or wait?
To me makes sense to do it now he's poised to have a big year he's gonna play top 6 minutes and berube is a good fit for him
I'd go 5y x 4-4.5m
1.) 18 Jul 2024 18:41:45
Risky move, but it'd the only way to get value long term.
If that's the plan, I'd offer 8yrs/ 5m.
2.) 18 Jul 2024 23:42:48
It’s risky forsure but given where the cap is projected to go I don’t think it’s a signing that they can mess up unless he turns into a pumpkin in which he doesn’t seem to look like I don’t think he goes for 8 years unless he’s way overpaid.
3.) 19 Jul 2024 18:08:43
I’d give him a bridge deal of 3.5M X 2. Even if he has 2 really good years, he won’t make more than 6M anyway with his 50pt contribution at best.
4.) 19 Jul 2024 21:12:28
I'm with Clarky. I was thinking 2X$3M.
5.) 20 Jul 2024 11:20:11
Agreed on bridge deal, especially if Marner & Tavares are re-signed.
Tavares $11M is already spent
Woll $3M
McCabe $3M
Knies $2.5M (bridge)
Marner $1.5M
$10M gone just on the above 4 increases, which leaves $1M for JT.
Add the $4M cap increase and there is JT's $5M AAV.
We're back in the same position.
11 Jul 2024 14:42:23
Looking at what's left in free agency and one name I like as a one year flyer is max pacioretty not gonna command a lot played for a terrible caps team but isn't far removed from 20-30 goal seasons he's got size and a shot could be good depth signing
1.) 11 Jul 2024 17:31:07
Another injury prone player they could pay too much for. sounds like a perfect Trevliving fit. FML
They're better off letting the young guys play and develop. Probably aren't making the playoffs anyway. Although who really cares if they do? It would be a one and out anyway. They aren't better than NYR, FLA, BOS, NJ, TB or CAR, and WSH, OTT and MTL will all be significantly better this year. Having only made it by 11 points last year, it most likely doesn't go their way.
2.) 11 Jul 2024 19:15:05
Lol settle down Debbie it was only a suggestion he’s a guy that would probably come in at 1mil or less if he gets hurt then you fill his spot but I don’t think the leafs have any prospects that are nhl ready.
3.) 13 Jul 2024 11:16:35
Haha Debbie. And should someone tell JDUB that we all know you can like your own comments as many times as you like. So you getting 8 likes (or agrees) means they are all done by you. Lucky to get 2 from other people on this site. People are stingy with their Agree’s here. Just so you know JDUB, we KNOW.
4.) 13 Jul 2024 13:32:55
@Clarky I don't think people are stingy, I personally just care about "likes" lol. Prefer the conversation.
5.) 15 Jul 2024 13:27:39
Keep cheering for this pathetic organization. See you again after the first round, although most likely the regular season, to hear all your disappointments again. HAHAHA. The only question will be is if the Leafs brass has also screwed them up even more through further idiotic moves and signings. It is to the point where these dummy fans deserve the failure. They have the ability to stop it through their actions and yet they constantly come back to suckle the giant Leaf teat. All these ridiculous trade posts on here. hahaha. If it would be a good trade, they aren't doing it. If it was a creative trade, they aren't doing it. Now if it's a dumb move for an injured or old player where they can overpay them. then there's a pretty decent chance they do it. Don't believe me? Look at their history. FACTS.
02 Jul 2024 10:29:27
I'd like to see the leafs sign a 1 year deal with Tyler Johnson two way guy that can play all three forward positions and is two way player put up 17 goal last year in Chicago
01 Jul 2024 16:45:00
Only way to save this offseason is by trading marner tbh and judging what they did this offseason so far I don t trust them to do that either how do you target all these top defenders and end up overpaying the left overs now there's no money to even upgrade the forwards
1.) 01 Jul 2024 16:58:29
It’s a joke. 35 year old Tanev is our saviour? Treliving is a busy. They don’t trade Mitch and this year is a wash considering what Bos and TB have done.
2.) 01 Jul 2024 17:04:47
I don't like the signings either. OEL specifically I'm not a fan of.
Stolarz I like.
25 Jul 2024 10:26:01
@wendel then make this trade closer to the deadline jarnkrok is a useful player on this team and in my eyes they don’t have a body to replace him till the deadline.
24 Jul 2024 13:48:28
Cap space for what tho?
20 Jul 2024 01:35:48
You realize the arber spent a good hunk of last year in the minors his brother isn’t much better yes they are tough but they are not everyday nhlers and Anderson is washed so essentially your getting a 1st for marner.
18 Jul 2024 23:40:17
I don’t see the leafs moving more picks when they don’t have any to begin with when it comes to Robertson I can see it being picks or a pick coming back because come trade deadline if they are in the position they have been in the last few years they will need picks to make deals.
17 Jul 2024 12:22:26
I think you lost about every trade here I get what you’re trying to do with the trades but I don’t think they make sense for the leafs.
25 Jul 2024 10:33:35
Read between the lines insiders said that they believed dubas was gonna move off this core shanny canned him and what did he do he called them all up and said it’s ok your safe with me so how can we sit here and really think that it’s been any different with tree I think shanny said we can trade Mitch but only if it’s an overpay. As for this offseason I look at it this way torontos special teams were something that killed them and so instead of overpaying for 1 guy that was sought after he chose to add multiple mid guys I’m not saying this team is better on paper but to say that this isn’t all dependent on shanny is laughable.
24 Jul 2024 14:22:33
Hey jdud I think coming on here and bitching and complain to everyone is really helping the leafs… leaflife is right trelivings hands are tied the nylander/ marner had to happen last year but there’s one guy holding this team back and it doesn’t matter who the gm of the leafs is as long as shanny is the president none of these guys will be held accountable plus the leafs haven’t had a decent blue line in years so that’s where they focused I personally would of liked to see them get a centre as well but all of them were overpaid.
18 Jul 2024 23:42:48
It’s risky forsure but given where the cap is projected to go I don’t think it’s a signing that they can mess up unless he turns into a pumpkin in which he doesn’t seem to look like I don’t think he goes for 8 years unless he’s way overpaid.
18 Jul 2024 17:53:05
He’s 5’9 in a league that values big boys including Brad I honestly think Robertson was being moved regardless but he gave them an out what they get back is not much to care about.
17 Jul 2024 12:24:18
20 and 20 should be a goal for him.
