    The math could work. Kane and Tavares do 1 yr deals. Leafs have a bunch of room next summer. If Bennett stays in Florida ….maybe it’s Duchene or Nelson.

    Duchene will stay in Dallas IMO and Nelson is on the wrong side of time, again imo.
    Ehlers and Bennett will be around 8M each to sign me thinks. Could be do able.

    Leafs will be looking for a new associate coach to take over the D and PK management.
    Lambert is off to the Kraken as their new head coach.

    I’m not saying he’s worth that much.

    But I think a team will go overboard and offer close to 10M for Sam Bennett.

    With the cap going up, some GMs will go completely insane with spending this summer.

    Change the DNA feels like a GM who wants to say make a major change with respect to the players on the roster but knows he can’t say that.

    The Leafs / Tre are saying all the right things about Marner because they have to make an offer but Tre did say something lie Mitch has a say in all this and it’s not just the Brad show.

    To me that’s setting the table so the narrative when Marner walks is not just “Leafs let him walk” and can be more “we couldn’t come to an agreement”.

    They want Mitch to take some blame if/when he leaves – rightfully so IMO.

    Getting rid of Reilly the 2nd pairing Dman or the former captain who is a 2nd line C on many teams in the league and a 2nd line winger or 3rd line c on any team who will take a big haircut to come back isn’t changing the DNA.

    10M for Bennett is a no for me. Still have Dave Bolland / Wendel Clarkson PTSD.

    Both those “hometown boys” were supposed to be what the Leafs lacked, make them tougher, knew how to win etc.

    On 32T Friedman says TOR/VGK had discussions last summer around Marner. TOR wanted Theodore but VGK wasn’t doing that. There was also no guarantee Marner would waive

    oh

    I feel like Toews may sign with the jets. – Fakesie

    This is going to be interesting to watch.

    The guy is 37 years old, and hasn’t played since 2022-23 – and didn’t put up great numbers (although he was battling multiple ailments).

    I think this is a classic case of hoping you get the guy from 10 years ago – and you will end up terribly disappointed.

    Someone will give him a deal with a small base salary attached to plenty of bonuses.

    Hell, if the Habs strikeout with other options to fill their centre line, they could easily consider him.

    You had Zezel sold at decent D.

    Wish that guy would smarten up and join us.

    Give it time.

    Improving the forums here would also help convince more people to come along for the ride.

    If this place is to grow, we can’t be too picky.

    As long as moderators handle things, more users is always a good thing for a community/site.
