ParticipantSam Bennett doing his best Wolf of Wall Street saying he’s not fucking leaving……….now you have to factor in that he’s likely hammered and on zero sleep but it does at least tell you he likely wants to stay in Florida (and probably will).

Marchand may leave now that he got another cup, I could see him going for an overpay somewhere I just hope it’s not Toronto because I feel like his play in the playoffs was a bit of magic in a bottle and won’t be repeated.

ParticipantJonathan Toews is about to sign with the Jets (can’t sign until July 1 but apparently has a verbal agreement with them).

ParticipantToews to the Jets is fitting. Good for him if he can play, even a minor role!
As for Marchy, I don’t think he signs in Toronto. Guy has 2 cups so he either Corey Perry’s this bitch and tries for a 3rd and signs cheapo. Or he heads to Utah or somewhere else willing to pay him 8 million over 3 or 4 years. Even 1 year at that is too much.

ParticipantI 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

ParticipantYeah 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.

Participantsome contract predictions
marchand 8.1 and Puis suter 4.6 = 1 Marner

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

ParticipantMan, I was hoping that Toews would sign in Toronto.
Oh well.

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

ParticipantAlso Trade Rielly for what ev and sign Ekblad for rough the same $$

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.

ParticipantEkblad 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.

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.
June 20, 2025 at 3:31 pm #10642senstrolltwo
Participantim going to have to post this over again
re Toews
Every player that signs that someone wanted on the Leafs, its because the Leafs are dumb and didnt just go get him.
there are no other reasons
June 20, 2025 at 3:38 pm #10645Azure
ParticipantJust read an article that Knies and Leafs far apart… No idea who are reliable sources anymore though
