Sorry but marchand on the top line just isnt a good idea, the only reason he was effective with the panthers was because he was on the 3rd line.
$6m for marchand or he can piss off. Leafs will be screwed if they sign him for anything more than that…..he’s 37 for crying out loud.
I hope to hell marchand is not a leaf.Id be fine with Marchand also, I dont care so much now about where he plays. its about lining up for the playoffs. His line played against tough matchups wasnt just softies.
Leafs just need to build out 3 lines that are tough to play against.
37 years old. Hes not the answer for $8 – $9m and hes simply not a top/2nd line player on a playoff team that wants to win the cup (sure he could fill in on the 2nd, but its not the best place for him).
Just another player the leafs will miscast.If they were to get Roy down the middle
Matthews
Tavares
Roy
LaughtonUFAs id go for, Marchand, Jeannot, Mangiapane
look to move out Kampf, Jarnkrok Holberg and maybe Domi
Hague trade brings in Sissons (another bottom 6C). Roy to Toronto seems more likely.
Vegas will have to trim more salary to get marner under the cap, even at $12 x 4
Pietrangelo to LTIR and Roy traded gets them to 12.5M in space for Marner.
Ok, I’m coming around on signing Marchand. Leafs need to bump Kampf and Jarnkrok off the ship after bonus day and if they do they’ll have about 19M to spend on a top 6 FWD and 4 bottom 6 replacements. Nab Roy as one of the pieces and you’ve still got 16M to spend. Sign Marchand to bigger money, shorter term (b/c they really don’t need to back end it and lower the AAV). Spend some money on good 1 yr deals on the 4th line.
If the dust settles this week and the lineup looks like …
Marchand-Matthews-Nylander
Knies-Tavares-McMann
Domi-Laughton-Roy
3 Heavy forechecking types…….I’m good. Maybe drop Laughton down a line and spend on another good 3rd liner.

I hope to hell marchand is not a leaf.Saw you post this a few times. Marchand/Lundell played against top lines (most common match up for Marchand was Nylander/Tavares and McDavid/Draisatl). His line generally won their minutes. He’s still got it. I’d bet on him being an elite top 6 F for another year or two then he backslides. If he goes short term I’d have no problem with them giving him 8+ but if he wants a 3rd and 4th year then those years need to bring the AAV down.

hope it happens with Marner involved. But I could see it happening as a trade also on its own.
Preds are going to suck for a while, why are they paying 3rd pair that much?
Ya, not sure. They look like they’re doing the Blackhawks thing (surrounding elite young players with overpaid vets) but without the elite young players. Someone needs to rescue Josi.

Pietrangelo will need to be on the LTIR as Vegas only has 757K on their cap and + 10% over during the summer.
Roy’s cap hit is 3M, Pietrangelo cap hit is 8.8M — will that be enough to sign Marner?Hague trade brings in Sissons (another bottom 6C). Roy to Toronto seems more likely.
