ParticipantKadri for Kampf and Jarnkrok, straight up.
Why would Calgary do that?
The leafs are fine down the middle, they need wingers.July 2, 2025 at 8:21 am #14629Fakepartofme
ParticipantSo now people want to bring back Kadri?
Geez.
4 years left at $7….got 67pts last season…not bad
But been there done that, time for some new ideas.July 2, 2025 at 8:22 am #14630Lawsie

The leafs are fine down the middle, they need wingers.Beggers can’t be choosers at this point. Leafs need to add some offense into the top 6 any way they can. JT or Roy can both play the wing if needed.
The talking heads are all saying nobody is selling. So the options are Ehlers …..or somebody’s bad contract (Kadri).

ParticipantSo the Leafs have 5.8 in cap space.
but if you punt Kampf and remove Reaves, that bumps up to 9.5 or soWeird spot for the Leafs to be, having lots of cap space

Yeah they have a bit of space but they also need to sign Robertson, he should be cheap though. Kampf, Reavo, Jarnkrok could be moved.

Im hoping the Leafs make a trade to upgrade something, Robertson could be used with some other stuff.

ParticipantMy guess is that Robbie is a sign and trade as part of a top 6 deal. Toss Cowan in and we can hopefully pick up somebody good in their prime.

Or….dont make a bad trade for a long term mid range contract for a 33/34 year old.
I believe the leafs 1st they traded for Carlo is top 5 and 10 protected – gets booted to 2028. I think. If so, I dont mind if the leafs are completely garbage this year, get the 10th pick and save cap for next year.
Time to see if Matthews can really carry this team. Im not 100% sure he can.
We’ll see.
Either way, dont make a bad trade simply because you are perceived to be in a “beggars” position.July 2, 2025 at 9:55 am #14669Fakepartofme
ParticipantMy guess is that Robbie is a sign and trade as part of a top 6 deal. Toss Cowan in and we can hopefully pick up somebody good in their prime.
Honestly, the leafs simply cannot afford to lose any “high end” prospect they have left. Keep Cowan. This team isnt any closer to going a cup run as of today. Save your bullets.
I think Tre goes bargain bin shopping in the FA marker….maybe skinner, patches and nyquist on a year deals.
Dumping Kampf and reaves wont bring back anything….other than a late round pick.
Maybe adding Robertson…gets a player back with a pulse….not sure its a top 6 winger though.July 2, 2025 at 10:01 am #14670gravyface

Besides, I think Cowan is part of their plans going forward….at least for this year.July 2, 2025 at 10:30 am #14691Azure
ParticipantSalary cap money burning a hole in everyones pocket.. Spend to the cap even if there is nobody better to spend it on

ParticipantIt’s starting to look like the leafs are looking to use short term contracts this year unless it’s a core guy. As it stands 5 forwards are done after this year. I won’t be shocked if that’s all the leafs do to fill out the roster because there is nothing they currently see available that they consider a long term solution.

I posted this twice now and it didn’t take. I find that unusual. Something in the original tagging of your post when quoting it maybe?
Most teams consider themselves in the window, on the way up or sustaining a level of competitiveness right now. The only teams I can see who would or should be dealing are Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, the Islanders, Nashville, Boston and Calgary.
If you look at the moves they made in the past few days . . .the Islanders dealt Dobson and their only notable signing was Drouin; I will say that outside of Pelech and Pulock, I’ve never liked the performance vs. salary for most of their forwards.
Philly overpaid Dvorak and Vladar – but I think they are just biding time while they wait for some of their picks to come to fruition while never bottoming out enough to finish the job. Michkov is excellent but the rest of their youth is pretty questionable. I like Bonk, Luchanko and Barkey fine but none of them are significant needle movers. This year they drafted Martone, who feels a little like Knies – but it’s far from enough to help them. That said their only players of interest are Couturier, Konecny and Ristolainen. Personally not a fan of Risto and neither Konecny (8.8) or Couturier (7.8) are worth their contracts.
I think Nashville, Boston and Calgary all want to see where their teams end up before they consider making a move.
Off of Nashville we all like O’Reilly and Bunting isn’t dreadful @ $4.5, albeit there are better options at that cap hit.
Not clear on Boston but most of their signings feel like guys you sign to trade later – like Eyssimont and Jeannot both feel like TDL guys, but the term given to Jeannot says otherwise.
Calgary – who haven’t said their open for business, but they have also said that they are adhering to a process which strongly alludes to a rebuild. They have pieces people would like – Andersson, Weegar or Coleman – The other problem is that they have guys who are making more than most teams would want to pay for the guys – like Huberdeau, Kadri, Sharangovich or Lomberg
Pittsburgh seem the only team that’s truly understood their fate and word is that Dubas is basically Monty Halling the teams around the league. Granted – and it’s been discussed to death before – Crosby, Malkin, Karlsson and Letang all have full NMCs and Rakell, Hayes, Heinen, Graves and Acciari all have partial NTCs. The only guys they can easily move that I’d think are marketable are Rust and Lizotte

ParticipantMy god the Leafs have perfected the run it back. Kadri would be the lolz king daddy topper and cement just how utterly brain dead our management has been and is. DNA change pffffft.
Who here remembers Wendel’s third stint as a Maple Leaf?
Not me. I’ve completely blocked it from my memory. Much like Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.
