If Riley comes back before playoffs our playoff lines look like this
Muzzin Holl
Riley Dillion
Dermott Barrie
1.) 08 Feb 2020 13:32:51
That's the worst deal I have ever seen. Dillon is a bottom pairing guy and you want to give up an RFA that played well and a first.
2.) 08 Feb 2020 14:04:44
Pls let me know what that guy is smoking? . soap man plus a 1st. for a UFA who plays bottom mini.
3.) 08 Feb 2020 15:21:00
Let's re do this.
Dillon is poo but he would be a decent addition so;
Tor 5th

Lineup when Riley returns

Moore Kerfoot Kapanen
Timashov Spezza Gauthier
Riley Barrie
Muzzin Holl
Dermott Montour
1.) 25 Jan 2020 21:33:14
That’s a lot more than what Buffalo paid for Montour, who has been struggling hard this year. Is it the team? Or is it the player? I’m not sure. I honk Diubas would be very hesitant to make this deal. A pick + prospect is all he was worth coming from Anaheim when he was playing much better. His value has dropped since then as both performance and time value have decreased. Remember, Montour was a bit of a late bloomer too. Head already 24 when he made the nhl. So he’s not even a prospect anymore. What you see is what you get with him.
2.) 25 Jan 2020 23:55:46
I wouldn't even do that straight up for Johnson at this point. LeafsGm summed it up pretty well though not much to add.
If this was prospect not named Liljigren or Sandin with a pick I would do it.

Leafs defence after all star break assuming muzzin comes back

When Riley comes back right before playoffs this is what our playoff roster should look Ike
Hymn Matthews Marner
Engvall Tavares Nylander
Moore Kerfoot Kapanen
Timashov Spezza Gauthier
Riley Barrie
Muzzin Martinez
Dermott Nurse
That second paring is the shutdown pair.
If cap doesn't work out trade Ceci for a pick
1.) 19 Jan 2020 13:59:26
I think that’s a massive overpayment on the first trade, also we don’t even have a 2020 1st.
I really like the idea of Martinez as he has one year left on his deal and he had experience playing with Muzzin but no way the leafs give up liljegren. In my opinion kapanen would be more likely. haven’t thought out a full trade tho with kapanen and Martinez a part of it.
I’m finding a lot of people on this site trade Johnsson over Kapanen but I see that as less likely. I think kapanen has more trade value because of his speed and other teams feel he could slot in top 6 for them right away. with mikheyev out for months yet I also wouldn’t trade Johnsson even with Engvall being a pleasant surprise as johnsson is signed for the next couple years and Engvall and mikheyev both need a contract. If we were to trade johnsson I’d wait till the offseason
As for your lines after all star break I think it’d be smarter to run
Muzzin Martinez
Nurse Barrie
Dermott Holl
That’s if we were to get nurse. but man it’d be nice to not have Sandin use up the first year of his ELC.
2.) 19 Jan 2020 14:05:12
I say the pairings because muzzin and Martinez have played a lot together and after a few games should get chemistry back. and dermott and holl have played together a decent amount too in the marlies so it may make more sense that way.
3.) 19 Jan 2020 20:06:11
I prefer Kapanen over Johnson so would trade Johnson but as was stated Kapanen probably has more value.
I don't see the need for both nurse and Martinez. Who sits in the press box when Reilly and Muzzin come back in this scenario?
28 Dec 2019 15:15:41
Now that Mikheyev is our pretty much the whole year we need another left winger becUSe our depth is lacking. If we got nick Ritchie who and size and can throw the body and pick up a decent amount of points. He makes less then 2 mill. (1.5-1.8) I think.
Leafs
Bracco
Moore
2020 2nd
Ducks
RItchie (50% retained).
I do believe the ducks should retain as our value may be an overpayment and the money coming there way is almost nothing. Lineup before Johnson returns
Hyman Matthews Marner
Ritchie Tavares Nylander
Engvall Kerfoot Kapanen
Timashov Spezza Gauthier
Muzzin Holl
Riley Barrie
Dermot Ceci
1.) 28 Dec 2019 16:50:35
I was just reading about that injury. I didn’t see the game, but looked at the replay. It looked pretty bad. There was a lot of blood. I really liked him too. I really hope we re-sign him. He was the best signing by far this summer for Dubas.
I agree we need a replacement. That LW position is weak. Ritchie would be a nice pickup. You’ll find Ritchie is a divisive player for the members of this site. I don’t mind him myself if we could get him for the right price. Others will tell you he’s garbage and not worth pursuing. I think if give them Moore and Bracco that might be a little much. Just one or the other. Preferably Bracco. If Anaheim retains, then they deserve the pick as well.
2.) 28 Dec 2019 21:00:12
Micheyev getting hurt is kind of a miniature saving grace johnsson replaces micheyev. Leaf lines without a trade
Hyman matthews marner
Moore tavares nylander
Johnsson kerfoot kapanen

Reilly Barrie
Muzzin holl
Dermott ceci
Andersen

The team looks fine tavares has proved his whole career that he can carry players, moore is no different moore is a hyman type player. Do you guys remember how bad everyone thought Hyman was his first year? If we are going to go after another winger it has to be baby nylander
Tor: Ceci, bracco 2020 4th
Chi: Nylander
Now lineups and figure if burnsy can do it, so can goat
ZH am mm

May be a crazy suggestion but can anyone really play worse than hutch? Never seen someone fail so hard at power slides.
3.) 28 Dec 2019 21:52:33
Agree with Randy. Still have enough LW when Johnson comes back.
4.) 29 Dec 2019 02:19:46
I’m really starting to like Engvall a lot more. I was really hoping the big guy could come in and make the team. And it’s looking like he has. We need guys his size to help shut down the other teams.
21 Dec 2019 13:51:40
WERe prob going to red around 7.5 to sign Dermott and one of muzzin and Barrie. Assuming the cap goes up like people say and it goes up like 3 mill. That means we only need to shed 4 mill. YRade Ceci for some pic picks next year our end defence looks like this.
Riley Holl
Muzzin Dermott
Sandin Lillegreen
Then we trade Kapanen and a prospect for Pesce.
Riley Pesce
Muzzin Holl
Sandin Dermott
I do believe by next year sandin is an upgrade over Ceci. Defence will look very good and all our forwards are signed. The cap isn't as big of a problem as people are making it out to be
1.) 21 Dec 2019 15:52:57
Next year is a good cap year. Ceci, Muzzin and Barrie come off the cap which helps plus another 1-2 it goes up. Mikheyev and Dermott need to be resigned but shouldn't cost to much. Issue comes in the following year as Freddy and Hyman need to be resigned. The year after that Reilly. That's more when thought decisions need to be made.
2.) 21 Dec 2019 18:53:31
RW-signing Reilly will be the biggest issue. He’ll come in around $10M. Which means Leafs will have five players making $50M between them. How Dubas plans to make it work is beyond me. Someone’s got to go.
3.) 21 Dec 2019 20:48:02
Dubas is probably hoping that the renegotiation on tv deals and gambling deals brings the cap around 100 million. If it doesn't we F'd in the A.
4.) 21 Dec 2019 23:42:04
Why is everyone assuming Holl is resigned though? He is a UFA at year's end.
5.) 22 Dec 2019 04:25:49
I don’t think I have Holl in any long term projections. He’s like the 10th guy and dropping in my depth charts. Lol. I can’t see him re-signing with the Leafs. We won’t have room for him. Unless we sign him just to expose him, which is a possibility. We know he won’t get taken. One of our forwards will. Which leads me to believe one of Joh son or Kapanen or Kerfoot is traded. Probably Kapanen.

From wacthing pre season three are the lines I believe will give us our best shot at a cup
Johnson Matthews Nylander
Kapanen Tavares Marner
Mikheyev Kerfoot Petan
Moore Gauthier Spezza
Riley Ceci
Muzzin Barrie
Sandin Maricnin
Andersen
Hutch
Does anyone disagree
1.) 29 Sep 2019 01:52:40
Only change i'd do (very minor) would be korchkov for petan. just like kerfoot inbetween 2 speedy lanky russians. korchkov looks good on the pp if needed and plays well with kerfoot and
Other than that i think you're spot on.
2.) 29 Sep 2019 11:14:12
Moore on third line for me.
17 Sep 2019 19:22:41
Just my predictions for lineups coming out of preseason
Line one: Johnson Matthews Nylander
Line two: Moore Tavares Marner
Line three: Mikheyev Kerfoot Kapanen
Line four: Shoore Spezza Petan
Riley Ceci
Muzzin Barrie
Harpur Marincin
Anyone else agree/disagree
1.) 20 Sep 2019 16:46:19
The only thing I can see different is that sandin May get a shot he’s looked really good.
02 Sep 2019 14:37:35
So the leafs will sign Marner but basically they will do it on the day the regular season starts so stop posting Marner trades and be patient. Also we're starting the year short handed with injuries so I think our lineup for game 1 looks like this
Mikheyev Matthews Nylander
Johnson Tavares Marner
Moore Kerfoot Kapanen
Aberg Spezza Petan
Riley Ceci
Muzzin Barrie
Harpur Schmaltz
But when we have a healthy lineup this is what the lineup looks like
Johnson Matthews Nylander
Hyman Tavares Marner
Mikheyev Kerfoot Kappanen
Moore Spezza Petan
Riley Ceci
Muzzin Barrie
Dermott Harpur
This definitely looks much better but I think the first lineup could do pretty well until mid November which I believe is when Dermott and Hyman come back
1.) 04 Sep 2019 06:08:35
I think you got to switch Mikheyev and Johnson but other than that I think so as well.
2.) 04 Sep 2019 06:09:28
To add though, consider Aberg, Sandin, Lili, Marchment and Bracco along with a few others in there if they prove something in camp.
28 Aug 2019 18:08:09
THERES a couple reasons why I do believe we will get past the first round this year. My first reason is the backup goalies. Because sparks was so bad Andersen was once agin forced to play more games then any other goalie in the nhl. This year will be different as our two backup goalies hutch and neuiverth can take a big load off Andersen so Andersen will only have to play 55-60 games instead of 65+. And we all know what a rested Andersen can do. My second reason is the defence. I don't care if there's was pylons on the ice it would still prob be better then Hainsey and zaitsev. So basically Barrie is an upgrade over gardiner. Harpur/ lillegreen/ Schmaltz is a big upgrade over Hainsey and Ceci is either at par or an upgrade from zaitsev. Plus Dermott will have a great year and we still have Muzzin. Another reason is Matthews will reach his full potential because he will have way better wingers this year it will most likely be Johnson/ Mikheyev on the left and Nylander on the right and then we will still habe Marner and Tavares as our second first line. So really there's no excuse why the leafs can't get past the first round and possibly win the cup
1.) 31 Aug 2019 02:32:32
To say Schmaltz is a big upgrade are some words you may be eating soon lol. I think he definitely gets a lesser role so is therefore in a better spot relative to his skill but he still isn't Lindstrom lol. Whether Anderson rests more or not is hard to say. Let's see how hutch and Neuvirth do before I say though.
14 Dec 2019 22:25:45
I know my deal was an overpayment but I put down that the send retain salary on both players so we would have to give up a bit more. Now it may still be a bit too much but it’s going to have to be an overpayment bu US.
01 Dec 2019 13:58:21
I think the hall deal goes through if your adding a pick and a future prospect such as Lillegreen or bracco but other then that good proposal.
12 Oct 2019 13:57:18
It may be a temporary problem but if we don’t fix it now then by the time Hyman comes back we’re going to be under 500.
24 Sep 2019 23:02:08
This trade makes no sesnse. We get a player we can’t afford an player we can't afford and we get rid of the only depth we have left.
12 Sep 2019 20:31:56
THATs what I was thinking. We have to add someone such as Robertson or timahov and maybe an extra 4th. But if Marner is getting traded this is the type of deal we need.
02 Sep 2019 20:49:46
I do agree with pretty much everything you said here I do believe Marner will be signed without too much trouble but it will be an interesting contract for sure that will probably involve bonuses as well as LTIR. The only thing I don’t agree with is your line combinations. With injuries to Hyman and Dermott these are the lines I would go with for opening night.
Mikheyev Matthews Nylander
Johnson Tavares Marner
Moore Kerfoot Kapanen
Aberg Spezza Petan
Riley Ceci
Muzzin Barrie
Harpur Schmaltz
Sandin Lillegreen
Marincin Lindgren
Holl
Overall good post though.
