ParticipantLeafs have $20M+ next year. Throw a bunch of cash to pry Raddysh out of Tampa, and see who you can find to fill a top 6 winger role. Rebuild complete.
Yes because overspending on UFAs always solves the Leafs problems, every, single, time. Like Tavares. Leafs signed him from Long Island and won so many Stanley Cups, his cap hit didn’t matter anymore.
The UFA class for next year won’t solve a fucking thing for this broken team.

ParticipantI agree the leafs are not taking it down to the studs at all and probably wont finish in the bottom 5. Matthews and Nylander are not going anywhere, and if they had to go, teams wouldnt offer much in return and the amount of teams that could take on their contracts are very limited – these are not in season trades and they simply are not happening.
The Leafs may get a 1st for McMann and OEL, but not getting a 1st for anyone else that would be trade bait (Domi, Laughton, marcelli)
This isnt a video game, its reality. Leafs arent doing a full rebuild and getting 10 1st rounders LOLLeafs have $20M+ next year. Throw a bunch of cash to pry Raddysh out of Tampa, and see who you can find to fill a top 6 winger role. Rebuild complete.

ParticipantMcKenna can throw knuckles, broke a guys jaw with two punches. Stock value just went up.
Definitely going first overall in the prison league. Which sexual deviant has the first overall pick, Diddy, or Epstein?
He’ll get community service.

ParticipantAll I can say is this: Leafs just need to win every game that they possibly can. It’s obvious that they’re not finishing in the bottom 5. They only have a 25% chance of making the playoffs. They have to hold off Florida and catch either Boston or Buffalo. As the season gets later, the 3 point games will be telling, when it’s time to make a playoff push. The other only reason is, to deny the Bruins a higher 1st round pick that the Leafs traded to them. Giving them a top 10 pick would be disaster. Finishing outside of a playoff spot would make it around 14 or 15. Too many Western teams will have a worse record. The problem is, Florida and Ottawa are also close to the Leafs. They need to get some picks through trades and still be competitive down the stretch. Finish strong and rebound through free agency and having a healthier roster next year.

I would rather see Boston draft 10th overall and the Leafs sell hard to show their “core” players, this era is over and it’s time to start thinking about where they want to play next. Small price to pay to get this franchise back on the right track again, from the ground up.
The pick that went to Boston is gone. It can’t come back. So the Leafs making a wild card run is pointless because it just revives this delusion that this team can contend. It can’t. The sooner that realization is made, the sooner Treliving gets fired and the sooner a new President and GM can be hired to plan the road ahead on the next rebuild.
The Leafs could gather 4-5 1st round picks just from it’s “depth” pieces in Roy, Laughton, McMann, OEL, Carlo…another 3-4 1st round picks and 2-3 top prospects for Matthews and Nylander. The Leafs could be looking at adding at least 10-12 1st round picks / top prospects in 2 years, plus two lottery picks if they tank in 2028 and 2029. That’s potentially adding 14 top prospects in 4 years. The way Leafs fans gush about Cowan, just imagine if he was the worst prospect in the pipeline with 14 other guys bigger and better than him in the system.
By 2030, they could have a team full of guys under 25 (at both forward and defense, not top loaded only at forward), loaded with plenty of cap space to fill in the gap with veteran role players to fill the gaps. That type foundation presents the Leafs with a real opportunity to contend and not this fantasy bullshit of Matthews being able to carry this entire team to a Cup by himself when McDavid hasn’t even been able to do that.

ParticipantI’m too retarded to realize I can’t be verbal on a message board.
We know.
Yes, let’s trade OEL and then spend the next two seasons wishing we had a player like him.
Yes, let’s keep fighting for 9th place as wild card pretenders while we waste the opportunity to recover draft capital.
Draft the next OEL instead of running the same old bones into mediocrity.
Literally, every player is one hit away from retirement. Leafs have $22M to play with next season and only a few holes to plug.
Wrong again retard. Tanev is on his way to Muzzin Manor on Robidas Island. He’s a distinct injury liability. He always has been. Trade him now while you still can.
The Leafs are actually the 7th oldest team in the league. You know who’s older? The Avs. Should probably blow that team up too, eh?
Not sure where you got those numbers but the Leafs were 3rd oldest to start the season. The old players got hurt and lowered the average due to their younger replacements.
Are the Avalanche one of the worst teams in the NHL who have never had playoff success? Oh, they’re actually the best team and have won a Cup? Look at that, your retarded point has been easily disproven again. The Leafs have had no success being an old team. Time to blow it up and start over.
