UG could quite literally be the leafs GM himself and he’d criticize all his moves online lol
I hope our new MM has a spectacular year just to picture him punching the air in his typical rage.
You need a Snickers.
I doubt that Kampf and Jarnkrok are still there – at the very least I’d expect Kampf moved out.
Maccelli is a playmaking forward who can play either wing. I do read that the Leafs are hoping he’s a top-6 option and there’s an awful lot of analysts who believe he could fill that role quite nicely. *IF* they brought in a legitimate top-6 winger for a 2029 2nd round pick, that’s tidy work. If he turns out to be a 3rd line player, it’s not exactly the worst deal they could have made – but I’ve said before I want more grit and competitiveness in our bottom-6 and this guy isn’t that.
I never doubt the Leafs ability to retain and acquire garbage players so Jarnkrok and Kampf, still being on the team, is still a very real possibility especially because they should have been thrown to the side years ago and they’re both still here.
Malgin 2.0 is what this guy is. A tiny, defensively useless, barely offensively effective winger is not what this team needs, especially in the playoffs which this guy has ZERO games of experience.
He has no spot in the top-six if the goal is to improve the team. He’s a LW which means he’s not playing on the 1st line because Knies is there at 7.75 AAV and he’s not going anywhere. So that means he goes down to the 2nd line with two most irresponsible defensively players in the top-six, Tavares and Nylander. This guy is already a career -27. Playing with Tavares and Nylander, in the playoffs, will be a defensive disaster.
Tarasenko just got traded to Minnesota for future considerations. I’d rather have him, at least he played under Berube when they won the Cup, than this piece of shit.
If this guy cost a conditional 7th round pick and his salary was 900K, I could live with the deal. But at 3.4 AAV, it shows a serious lack of judgement from Leafs management. This is not the type of move that indicates any kind of DNA is actually changing. This is moving chairs on the Titanic.
It’s a bit of a strange acquisition – he’s not a big guy and doesn’t play physical. He’s not much of a board presence and doesn’t kill penalties. He did score 17 a couple of years ago and I recall people were making noise about him, but nothing really stands out in my opinion. I guess he can shift up and down the lineup, so he’s a decent line 2/3 guy, but my bet would be that he’s less of a line 2 guy.
Waste of 3.4 AAV in cap space. Jake McBain is sitting right there in Utah with no contract and this is the garbage that Treliving brings in to win the playoffs? Treliving is huffing glue.
Matias / Kampf / Jarnkrok. <— Almost 8 million for this bullshit line.
Out in the 1st round.

At least we still have a MM on the roster. Brad is just filling out the roster with 1 year deals to bring in McDaddy next year:-)
You know who else is a UFA next year? Jack Eichel.
Which means Vegas could steal McDavid if they wanted too, if they let Eichel walk.
And they could have 20-24 million in cap space to do it too.

I had to look him up. He played 3rd line for the mammoth, once scored 17 goals, scored 8 last year…24 year old finn with a $3.4m cap hit. Which seems pretty high.
