This I agree with. He’s the weak link and needs to be exorcised. Get back to 3LD and 3RD. Ekblad fits the 2D hole much nicer than having OEL playing the right side as a lefty. Seems like Treliving is procrastinating right now.
Why are the leafs procrastinating? Because you haven’t heard anything? You think the Jets just called Toews up the this morning and was like “hey let’s do this. Here you go” and it was done in a 15 minute phone call?
There’s plenty going on behind the scenes we just don’t see or know.
Ekblad came off a 20 game drug suspension. I don’t know if a full year without drugs is going to get the best out of the guy.
Also Trade Rielly for what ev and sign Ekblad for rough the same $$

Frankie Corrardo’s predictions are just his name being credited for a bunch of propeller heads in the back doing the work lol.
Also fuck no to 8M for Marchand at 37 years old for me.
From this list, instead of Marner at 13M or more:
Give me Patty Kane at 4M for L1
Bring Connor Brown back home for2M
Hell grab Jamie Benn for 4M
B. Tanev at 1.5 would be great
I dont really care whos name is attached to the list, just curious about what some players might land at
you could also get granlund, kane, brown and tanev for less than Marner
some contract predictions
marchand 8.1 and Puis suter 4.6 = 1 Marner

Yeah I can buy that too in which we’d be a little boned in the upcoming season.
I mean, JT isn’t getting 11. Marner isn’t getting 11+. Outside of moving Rielly, the D is pretty well locked for the season. Goalies are locked in. Lots of cap to tinker.
Personally, I believe it takes tinkering. After seeing the Panthers win the cup with like 9 million over the cap and the leafs gave them seemingly the biggest hurdle, tells me the leafs are closer than we think.
I am going to be positive here in that let’s think about what “far apart” means. I haven’t checked any articles about it or sources to know more details so I am speculating but can it not mean Knies wants a shorter term and leafs want longer? It doesn’t HAVE to be dollar amounts and it’ll be an overpay. It could be maybe the leafs want to give him 5 and he wants 8 or 9. I don’t necessarily believe that 8 x 8 would be a 1 or 2 mil overpay. I think we need to look at the contracts this year with the cap going up in the future in mind. We just gotta hope we don’t have another pandemic to stall it all out again
I have no idea what far apart really means either, but my mind just goes, the Leafs want 6.5mx8 and he wants 8.5mx5
