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.
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.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.
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.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.

For what it’s worth Lebrun reported that Rielly/Leafs told him that Rielly will be back …will not waive NMC.
DNA/Change is really down to two options …..don’t re-sign Marner or re-sign Marner and trade Nylander. One of them is moving on and frankly, with all the talking heads reporting that Marner told Tree last summer he wasn’t talking contract until the end of the season, I have to believe he’s gone.

Love that player.

-UGWell this will be an up hill battle for the Leafs to move Rielly with his NMC. He controls his destiny.
If this year UFA were better, then the bottom-6 could be rejigged but there isn’t much out there this year.dmnted

I saw a trade proposal between the Leaf and Vegas
Leafs get Karlsson for David Kampf, 2027 second-round pick, 2025 third-round pick (Colorado).
Then Vegas could take a run at signing Marner as I don’t think Marner will resign with the Leafs.This would leave the Leafs with hardly any draft picks for a few years.
Leafs really cant afford to lose any more picks.
I had suggested a sign and trade with Vegas. Marner at years for either Hertl or Karlsson
Dump Kampf elsewhere for a pickMr. Sir

In order to save money for 2026 UFA crop but still be competitive next year…..
We need some solid 1 year optionsP Kane
Toews
????????Anyone else taking a 1 year deal?
I mentioned a week ago I think P Kane would be a good short term add. Play him with Matthews, see how things go.
I feel like Toews may sign with the jets.But a 1 year under a $1m deal with the leafs I would be fine with.
