Boston is catchable, as is Ottawa. Retooling is the only option, considering that they don’t have their own first rounders for the next 2 years. You’re just strengthening your opposition (Boston + Philadelphia) in the East by giving them top 10 first round picks.
The Leafs defense was decimated through injuries last year and should be better this year. Addition through subtraction is also a must, to get back into a playoff spot. Rielly must be moved and a UFA defenseman should be injected into this lineup. Adding a top draft pick like McKenna should help the offense and a healthy Matthews could push the Leafs into a playoff spot. Trying to pry a player like Mason McTavish from the Ducks is doable, if they’re willing to take someone like Easton Cowan as an even trade. Having someone like McTavish would solidify the 2nd line center position. The Ducks might bite on such a deal, due to salary cap constraints. Cowan is on a ELC and would be cheaper for them.
No, they really aren’t. If the Leafs blow up the team, the draft picks Boston and Philadelphia get will be high but the Leafs will still benefit from having way more future assets in their coffers. Those retarded Treliving trades can’t be undone, they can only be mitigated. So if Boston drafts 5th overall but the Leafs have twelve 1st round picks in two years, the Bruins will have high odds of adding a single strong prospect while the Leafs will have an entirely new team of guys all under 25. Advantage is still for the Leafs. The alternative is you walk Matthews to free agency and you get a 3rd liner (or nothing at all) for his rights. The Leafs have made this mistake before and they must avoid making it again.
Boston plays a certain style of hockey that is reliable and consistent. Ottawa is younger than the Leafs and play with way more desire to control the puck and the game. The Leafs would beat them in the playoffs (because it’s the Sens) but they won’t catch them in the regular season. The excuse of “injuries” on the blueline is a bullshit excuse. Tanev is always one hit away from being retired. McCabe is older. OEL is older. High minutes in hard minutes mean they’re all susceptible to injuries. Rielly is trash. Carlo is a pylon. Injuries aren’t the excuse. This unit of guys are not suited for the roles the Leafs put them in or the style the team plays. On other teams, in lower roles, they’d be a playoff asset. But for the Leafs to be trotting out these dinosaurs on the top pair is just disaster waiting to happen all over again.
McKenna is tiny. Whether he actually can even physically play in the NHL right away is still a question mark. Given that the likes of Matthews and Marner barely scored 60 points as teenage rookies, McKenna doesn’t move the needle that much considering he’s not as good as they were at that age. McTavish is a 40 point, minus player and it would still cost more than Cowan to acquire him. Again, not a viable re-tool move because he doesn’t get you into the playoffs either. Just another lateral move. There’s no way Anaheim would make that trade anyway.
There is no viable re-tool. It’s a blue and white pipe dream. It exists in the minds of retards.
BIG DEAL PUSSIES!
Everything Mitchel touches turns to GOLD!!
Didn’t even mean to block a shot last game, puck hit him while jumping, flips a puck blindly up ice Hail Mary style (Torts tactics all night) – bounces into a partial breakaway, another point BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Cope Cucks.
That’s how hard the cope is now that even when a player is trusted to be on the ice with 5 seconds left and blocks a shot, the only retarded answer they have left is “he didn’t mean to block it”. Imagine having one brain cell left and using maximum capacity on being that retarded.
Must be why Marner finished 4th in Selke voting while not a single Leafs player got a single vote; he must have done it by accident.
Marner had two assists, both of them primary and perfectly valid. If not for a blown no-goal call (Bettman wants a longer series) Vegas would be up 2-0.
Who do the Leafs beat out for a playoff spot? I think they are easily the worst team in the Atlantic next year.
It is time to sell Matthews and Nylander for whatever you can get that is young, particularly defensemen, and start over. Re-tooling is a joke.

was reading this today:
Canadiens offered Alexander Zharovsky, another prospect, and two first-round picks for Knies 😯🫨glad they missed the 3pm deadline to file the paper work.

Teams do bounce up and down pretty often, look at Buffalo last year but the Leafs hopes and dreams of a re-tool are indeed a joke.
100% correct.
some predictions for the coming year +
Leafs Draft Mckenna
Nylander is not traded
Matthews re-signs
Leafs Make the playoffs 2027Chayka is a wild card for me, hasnt been in the league for years and was a bit of a erratic in his moves, so wouldn’t shock me if the opposite happened for all

Former Avs GM Chris MacFarland joined the Nashville Predators on Tuesday as President and GM.
Like who saw this coming????
Definitely not Pelley, he was too busy hiring inexperience and failure.
