Benning will retire in the minors no one wants him. Holmberg and Steeves not getting you Laughton.


2.) 02 Feb 2025 04:57:50
Pittsburgh got a 1st and a 3rd for Marcus Pettersson and Drew O’Connor.
I can’t see Domi, Robertson and Niemala bringing in a return of Kunin and Walman.

I am not a Kevin Hayes fan, never have been, but, if all Leafs are giving up is Kampf, a 4th and a prospect like Steeves or Tverberg along with Penguins retaining 50% of $3.571 then it is worth a try.

Two AHL players and a 4th line, often healthy scratched Holmberg does not get you Scott Lawton.
I have read that Briere is looking for a 1st round pick for Lawton which is probably the reason Leafs have not acquired him yet.
That said, Kuzmenko and Pelletier for Frost and Farabee is sufficient to cause one to wonder if Briere has a clue as to what he is doing.


3.) 02 Feb 2025 18:16:10
I think Hayes is a good target. His faceoffs could use a bit more work, but maybe start running some faceoff drills against JT every week could help. The Leafs could use his huge size if he blocked shots and hit.

Toronto convences Rielly to waive no trade to go to Seattle.

Toronto trades Robertson, Rielly and a 5th

To

Seattle for
Vince Dunn and Brandon Tanev

(50 percent retained on Tanev)

Toronto signs Brandon Sadd $1.1 million for the rest of season

Toronto put Reaves on waivers

Not sure the Seattle trade accomplishes anything. Tanev is 4th line player at best.


2.) 31 Jan 2025 11:33:59
Cp - tanev has 15g potential (healthy and on a good team) . And I fully expect the Leafs will land him this season.


3.) 31 Jan 2025 12:26:06
The fascination to unite the Tanev brothers is a bit much. Even in perhaps his worst season, Rellly gets those two players on his own…. But I’d remove Robertson for a different deal and make them take Domi.


4.) 01 Feb 2025 02:18:40
Unfortunately Dunn is a far superior defenseman to Reilly and Tanev is a better LW than Robertson.
I think you would have to sweeten the deal considerably before Seattle became interested.


5.) 01 Feb 2025 17:08:37
I would take just Dunn for those 2 guys.

Toronto trades Robertson and Jacob Quilliam

To

Anaheim for Mason McTavish


Toronto trades Steeves, Dewar, Ty Voit, Benoit and 5th

To

San Jose for Mico Strum and Jake Walman (50 percent retained on Walman)

Parkgardens

1.) 28 Jan 2025 06:22:25
It would most likely take Robertson, Minten and our 1st in 26 to get Mactavish.


2.) 28 Jan 2025 09:42:40
I like the trade but Cowan and Robertson is closer to the ask one I would make mctavish is an rfa but I don’t think he breaks the bank probably comes in around 6-7mil but I look at this kinda like the Avs who have been proactive in looking at getting younger while being competitive.

Toronto trades Domi, Steeves, Benoit and a 5th

To

San Jose for Jake Walman and Luke Kunin

Parkgardens

1.) 26 Jan 2025 19:53:55
Kunin is physical
But not intimidating

Also I can’t see what appeals to San Jose in what you are offering.


2.) 27 Jan 2025 01:57:52
That’s a lot of noting for two very usable players.
Can’t see the Sharks having any interest in this deal.

Toronto trades

Brad Treliving for Daffy Duck!

This Guy is a JOKE!

I commend the GM for Colorado and President Joe Sakic for kicking Rattinen to the curb for being greedy.

Teams want to spread out the money to balance teams not all end up like Toronto and Edmonton with 3 or four players making all the money.

Just look at Toronto's salary cap sheet.
Four forwards $46.5 million, that is just wrong. 1 player at $3.5, 1 player at $2.5 and all the rest at $900 - $700 thousand.
And you ask where is the second daily scoring, on other teams, dumbies!

If Toronto ever wants to win a cup of come close, spread the money around.

Dubas screwed all the fans with his analidical bull, and gave out full no-trade classes like candy to a fat kid.

Treliving was handed a bag of rubbish to work with but hopefully he can fix it by next year!

HEY BRADLEY,

HERE'S AN IDEA, CALL THE GM'S IN VEGAS AND TAMPA AND GET THIER DOCTORS PHONE NUMBER SO THEY CAN DIAGNOSIS TAVARES AS A GROIN TEAR AND OUT FOR THE SEASON.

THEN PULL A STONEY-KUCHEROV AND USE THE $11 MILLION AND GO GET SOME F..CKING PLAYERS!

IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE THERE ARE ABOUT 8 TEAMS FIGHTING FOR 2 WILD CARD SPOTS AND THEY ARE GOING TO GET ALL THE PLAYERS THAT YOU WANT BUT DON'T HAVE THE MONEY OR BALLS TO GET!

GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GET RID OF OUR THIRD AND FOURTH LINE TRASH AND GET SOME PLAYERS.

ALSO LET MARNER WALK, AS HAVING FOUR SO CALLED SUPERSTARS MAKING $50 MILLION COMBINED WIN NOT WIN!

OH AND KICK RIELLY TO THE CURB WHILE YOUR AT IT, SEND HIM TO PITTSBURGH TO SUCK ON DUBAS'S TIT!

If the Leafs want to improve their power play try this,

PP1
KIVES (NET FRONT)

NYLANDER. MATTHEWS
(DOT). (DOT)

TAVARES (BUMPER)


OEL

THIS IS THE ARROW SETUP, THE DEFENSE CAN SLAP IT FROM THE POINT AND THE BUMPER CAN MOVE DOWN TO HELP WITH REBOUND
OR
THE BUMPER CAN PASS OFF TO EITHER DOT FOR A ONE TIMER.

PP2

PATCHERITY (NET)

MCMANN (DOT). ROBERTSON (DOT)

MARNER (BUMPER)

RIELLY OR MYERS(POINT)

SAME EFFECT JUST HAVE TO SHOOT!!!!

SOMEONE SEND THIS TO SAVARD!

From what I have seem is they are often too static. They need to be moving their feet more and the puck quicker when they set up. Just moving the puck around while players remain static allows the defenders to keep their box tight and intact. The passing lanes never change when offensive players remain static.
IMO, Get guys moving so the defender feels he has to slide a bit out of his spot to cover a newly created lane and that will open up lanes as the defenders react to the changing positions of the offensive players. Need to get the defenders moving. Get them to chase a bit and then throw one at the net while outnumbering for a rebound.
It's not rocket science, but you can tell they are feeling the pressure right now. They look like they are gripping their sticks pretty tight while on the PP. I would start the 2nd PP and give the number 1 unit the back half. The second unit looks more in tune right now.


2.) 16 Jan 2025 21:58:58
To add to the notion of being static I’ve said for a long time their zone entry is bad.

The drop pass is executed poorly and by the time the puck carrier hits the blue line the wingers are stationary.

The wingers need to time the entry better and the puck carrier needs to have speed when he hits the blue line.

The player that drops the puck, normally Reilly, also needs to execute a pick without getting a penalty. Reilly just looks around.

But clearly a stationary player is easy to cover; movement is needed to get the defending team to also move, perhaps creating an opening.

So Marner thinks that the team's effort was good the last two games.

His line with Matthews and Lives were a -7 in those two games.

The problem is Marner, if he plays with Matthews he will always pass to Matthews and Matthews does not always drive the net, he tries to put the puck through sticks and skates and most times it gets blocked.

If Marner plays with Tavares he shots more at the net because Tavares drives the net ALL THE TIME!
AND TORONTO SCORES MORE THAT WAY WITH TIPS AND REBOUNDS!

COME ON COACH, TAKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND BREAK A FEW STICKS OVER THIER ASSES AND TEACH THESE PREIDONNAS HOW TO PLAY!

All other teams in the League shot from the point and tip or slam in a rebound.
We don't, we miss the net with marshmallow shots from Rielly.

I would sit Rielly for a game or two put in Rifal and send a message because he doesn't think he is bad, he just tells himself and the media "we have to try harder".

The team needs a shake up, Treliving get off your hands and make a trade. Put Reaves on waivers and have Breuebe split up the useless powerplay.

If Marner will not waive his no trade, let him walk and trade Rielly this Summer, maybe to Seattle for Dunn. (Pull a Trouba on his ass)

Treliving's problem is he wants to win every trade, reality is you won't.

He says why make a trade just for the sake of making a trade. I say make a trade to shake things up and try something new idiot.

Yes Domi sucks, but Rielly is the problem.

He is slow and panics in his end, can never hit the net, unless he is right in front of it.
Has a marshmallow for a shot, and can never keep a play alive in the offensive zone.

He is washed up and please find someone stupid enough to take him.

His favorite line is "Have to try harder"

How about just try!

Ok, let's get this right.
I never said that Marner should get that kind of money.
I want them to trade him or let him walk.

I put that out there because that is the amount the little bank robber wants.
Yes he is a good player, but as LL said you can not have two wingers making 11 &13+ million a year and expect to win.

I only repeated what others have projected that Marner is asking for.

The only way he stays and makes as much or more than Matthews is if Shanahan stays on as President.

I agree that Domi is not always productive but me has grit and heart, that wins.

The best thing for Toronto would be to to trade Mariner's rights before the Draft and use his cap space to get 2 or 3 good players to help balance out the holes.

Why Mr. Positive REfill,
Because Columbus and Chicago will be waiting July 1st,

Marchand and Bennett are not washed up, Bennett is 28 and Marchand has 40 points this season.

Yes Money bags Marner, wants $14 and Toronto will not and should not pay him more than Matthews.

totally agree!

fat boy has to go!
he can't even figure out who should play with who after 82 games.

he is a ahl coach at best, it is the players winning the regular season games, not his coaching.

Holl on for 14 goals against!
What is Keefe thinking, Tampa knows he is the weakest link and put the puck in his corner everytime.
Hey Keefe maybe you should take your lame buddy out for a big Steak and a bottle of wine.

Dumb Coach, hoping they lose series so Ownership can clean house of Dubas, Keefe, Shanahan, Nylander, Holl and possibly Matthews.

The problem is they just don't know when to put the foot down on the throat of these persons.
Nylander is the problem and would have benched him with his stupid slur foot. He should use a shoulder to hit by he is a bum.
I am done with these losers.

Well I think this crap performance lyes directly on Keefe.
All his screwing around with the lines, this 11 and 7 bull and playing Hellboy Kerfoot instead of Kives.
Tampa out skates them because they were off to long and DOUGHNUT eating Coach didn't skate them hard enough and he doesn't enough know who should play with each other!

I coach is a bum and needs to pack up and leave.

Same old bull crap after the game by the players, WE HAVE TO TRY HARDER, THAT IS CRAP.

I AM GLAD THE FANS BOOED THEM AND TORONTO SHOULD REFUND THEIR MONEY FOR THEIR TICKETS!

GLAD I STAYED HOME AND WATCHED THAT COMIC SHOW.
