Doubt Marner waives for here but if he does and will extend
Tor: Marner
Wpg: Ehlers, Mcroarty, Stanley
1.) 13 Jul 2024 20:06:26
Mcgroaty has said he wants a full time power play role and a top 9 role. Dont want em. Thanks anyways.
2.) 13 Jul 2024 20:40:16
I’d do that deal if I was the Leafs, they may need to add niemela
But I doubt marner signs in the peg.
3.) 14 Jul 2024 00:00:52
McGroaty is a pain in the ass and hasn't even been in the league yet. Shouldn’t be making demands at this point.
4.) 14 Jul 2024 00:32:14
Can’t find where McGroarty said that…
Was it in a comic strip?
03 Jul 2024 16:35:29
Assuming no big moves coming, sign nylander and Zadina 2 years 800k
Let them compete for LW with Willy
Lineup
Knies Matthews Tavares
N/z domi nylander
Robertson holmberg Marner
Jarnkrok Kampf Reeves
Reilly tanev
Benoit McCabe
OEL hakanpaa
1.) 03 Jul 2024 21:23:09
Why is McMann in the press box?
2.) 03 Jul 2024 22:56:02
And an 11m dollar winger on the third line? Ridiculous.
3.) 03 Jul 2024 23:17:58
Zadina only meets his own goalie in warmups
A Nylander I like
And yes McMann should be playing
Jarncrap and Sulky Robertson should not be in the team.
4.) 04 Jul 2024 02:16:46
Knew I was missing one lol. Mcmann is in the lineup for sure. Replaces either a or z if they cant make it, replaces Reeves if they can.
30 Jun 2024 19:56:13
Tor: once oilers buy out Campbell offer 5 years maximum that can be sent to the minors, if he remains his form in Toronto you have a steal, if he doesn't you can wash your hands of him.
1.) 30 Jun 2024 21:06:11
Trying to follow this post
can someone not named Randy explain what Randy means?
2.) 30 Jun 2024 22:09:59
I think something about mixing different glues and taking a big ole whiff.
3.) 01 Jul 2024 00:27:10
So alright let me simplify it a bit since it was to tough to follow before.
Edmonton buys out Campbell.
Toronto offers Campbell a contract for a long time.
They offer him a contract though that can be entirely sent to the minors.
Leafs can send him down if he sucks.
Leafs have a cheap goalie fix if he plays the way he did before in Toronto.
Maybe don't be such an Ahole next time I. Your response and say hey im not following, mins explaining that one to me.
4.) 01 Jul 2024 02:30:34
After reading your explanation Randall …hrenklin’s explanation makes more sense to me….
5.) 01 Jul 2024 13:04:26
Randy. If you want to give Campbell a shot (which I don't), why not just offer him a 1 year show me deal at around a $1m, so it can be buried if he doesn't work out. Why a long term deal? He has no value at the moment.
29 Jun 2024 19:27:37
Tor: Marner,lily, defensive prospect
Utah: sergachev, Marino, Ingram
Resign bertuzzi domi and Brodie on league min.
Leaf roster
Knies Matthews Tavares
Bertuzzi domi nylander
Robertson holmberg mcmann
Reeves Kampf marlie
Reilly sergachev
McCabe Marino
Benoit Brodie
Timmins
Woll
Ingram
Unlikely trade, but would fit both teams needs quite a bit, Utah could then go spend at free agency on D
1.) 29 Jun 2024 23:43:39
What has been needed for 5 years. Seems you have ig ores it. Sergachev and Brodie are both left handed.
2.) 30 Jun 2024 02:12:52
Both play their off wings regularly. Also posted before the tanev trade. Handedness is way to big of a focus. I personally hate playing on my strong side as a lefty I prefer both right wing and right D.
3.) 30 Jun 2024 11:33:26
Hrenklin continues to post nonsense.
28 Jun 2024 19:25:26
Not sure if I even like this but
Tor: Marner, lily
Cbj: Laine, Johnson, severson 1 million retained, 1st (4oa)
1.) 28 Jun 2024 19:36:39
Absolutely not . And marner is not getting traded.
2.) 28 Jun 2024 20:39:57
0% chance Marner waives for CBJ.
3.) 28 Jun 2024 20:51:13
Grrr another Laine trade to the Leafs. Let’s get rid of one soft player that doesn’t elevate his game when it matters most for another one? Like what?
4.) 28 Jun 2024 22:46:40
Stay far away from Laine, he's gone down hill.

So I hate to group myself with Mackin but I think we are under valuing Robertson a little bit in trades. Is he going to be a 30-40 goal scorer? Who knows I don't think so, but I think with the way he skates and his work ethic he might become a decent defensive forward who pops 10-20 goals a year. He has been a decent scorer(mind you in bunches) in limited playing time.
If both he and Marner start with the leafs I'd like to see them flank Tavares on the second line. If we trade him, we shouldn't be giving him away, should be a high end prospect or a defenseman in the same boat, high ceiling not living up to expectations
1.) 16 Jul 2024 17:06:02
I don't rank him overly high because he doesn't create chances on his own. He is a complimentary winger who can be in the right spot, but he needs someone to get him the puck. Unfortunately, he isn't big enough to compensate for his lack of ability to drive play himself.
He may end up a 25 goal scorer and solid all around, he may end up scoring but a liability in too many areas of the game.
I think it is best to trade him now while it is still a bit unknown. Value wise to me. A mid-high 2nd rounder or solid prospect, but not a high end one.
2.) 16 Jul 2024 18:14:08
He is a perimeter player Randy. Those guys tend not to do much in playoffs. We need guys willing to drive the middle, stand in front take some cross checks and battle in the corners. Robertson ain’t that.
3.) 16 Jul 2024 18:43:45
Clarky, I didn't say I want him on the team, I just think as a fan base we undervalue him. I think put in the right position he can be a huge trade chip for us. I would like to start him with Marner and Tavares, Tavares is a work horse and Marner for all the slack we give him should be good at finding Robertson in scoring spots.
If we are keeping Marner, hopefully he can at least add value to trading Robertson. I've heard a few flames fans (I'm based in Calgary) say they'd do Robertson and a 2nd for Anderson, crazy to me. But other than bases have him ranked highly and see him as being misused in Toronto.
4.) 16 Jul 2024 20:40:59
I don't think we should trade him now, while his stock is not really high.
I think Robertson will be a 25-30 goal scorer, so I would rather re-sign him and play him in the top 6 (with Marner), so he can increase his trade value.
Let him score a few goals and then make a mid season trade.
5.) 17 Jul 2024 00:04:08
That’s all fine and dandy but as long as we are all understanding that this season is a wash. We are not winning with this team so might as well promote certain players to get better value? Just sick of throwing seasons away and we always have a different excuse as to why it’s ok this year.
6.) 17 Jul 2024 02:22:56
Clarky this season will be like the others as long as the Core remains in tact, so why make rushed trades. We're just shuffling the deck chairs just like all other year's.
Nothing will change till JT's contract is done and with whatever will happen with Marner.
Leafs running it back for the 7th? time, hopefully the Core can do something this time around and hopefully Berube has a positive impact as well.
7.) 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.
13 Jul 2024 23:23:58
Anybody else think stripping Tavares of his C is a negotiating tactic? Saying a real captain would take less? Just seems like odd timing.
Also I know I'm late to the party, have a 4 month old and a 2 year old, don't get to read as many leaf articles as I used to.
1.) 14 Jul 2024 02:56:46
Bad decision as well imo Randy.
Congrats on the 4 month old. Mine are 4-5-14 and I promise it never ends lol.
I generally am only commenting on here when I'm on my breaks at work.
2.) 14 Jul 2024 21:31:08
That's most of my posting time to, slow periods at work.
3.) 15 Jul 2024 13:53:01
It makes no difference who has it but I will say how come there isn’t more talk of Reilly being the next to get it he’s been there the longest and signed long term tbh if Matthews wanted it he should of given more term.
13 Jul 2024 18:50:09
Okay so just to get a discussion going, don't worry about nmc and salary, it can be sorted out after. What are some props for Matthews you would be willing to accept.
1.) 13 Jul 2024 19:40:17
Only way I trade Matthews is for McDavid or MacKinnon, which will not happen. So I guess I have no props, sorry.
2.) 13 Jul 2024 22:11:22
I agree with Tag except I add Makar.
3.) 14 Jul 2024 18:51:55
Matthews, Robertson, Lily to Utah 4 Crouse, Durzi, McBain, Doan, 1st 2025, 1st 2026. It’s a tough one but I’d do this near the end of his contract if he doesn’t want to resign.
05 Jul 2024 03:35:26
Thoughts on kubalik as a bargain bin find?
1.) 05 Jul 2024 10:26:43
I'm ok with Kubalik at league min, but I'm generally alright with signing most guys to league min. You get 50 roster spots, might ad well use them.
2.) 05 Jul 2024 16:49:09
I think they need to make deals to actually improve the team. Keep the contract spots for that. A PTO if he doesn't get signed and no deals happen this summer, sure.
3.) 06 Jul 2024 14:43:47
@RLF If he's willing to sign a PTO I like that idea as well.
01 Jul 2024 18:32:30
To quote the great Lou Lamiorello,
Too much and too long on both tanev and OEL.
OEL was the clear weak Point on that panthers D. It's klingberg all over again.
1.) 01 Jul 2024 20:04:02
Agree completely on OEL, but Tanev will be LTIR in 3 years I presume.
23 Jul 2024 23:53:13
2nds are coming from the wrong side.
12 Jul 2024 20:00:43
I'd do this in a heartbeat.
08 Jul 2024 18:50:07
Why does this make the leafs win a cup?
04 Jul 2024 02:16:46
Knew I was missing one lol. Mcmann is in the lineup for sure. Replaces either a or z if they cant make it, replaces Reeves if they can.
01 Jul 2024 23:24:57
I like it.
16 Jul 2024 18:44:49
My take is he should take a discount, over paid last time, should come in under paid this time.
16 Jul 2024 18:43:45
Clarky, I didn't say I want him on the team, I just think as a fan base we undervalue him. I think put in the right position he can be a huge trade chip for us.

16 Jul 2024 14:47:46
One move, would be sign Mitch 8×8, you say no contingency, but saying he doesn't sign then trade his ass.
15 Jul 2024 14:40:34
I also wouldn't sleep on Jersey.
