Can’t do 93’ but he’d want 91’ anyways and I think JT at C on that line and Kadri out as the winger. JT has the faceoffs and the front of net work down and Kadri does board work beautifully when it comes to some of their personal strengths. – Dozzie
Just because I’m bored…
In theory, Gilmour could ask him to wear #93, like Ace Bailey did with Ron Ellis and #6.
It’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.
keeping a lot of space for a certain player im sure a bit of it. and i think you have to until its no longer an option

It’s going to be a shame having to trade them Michael Pezzata so that we don’t get busted for tampering.

Kampf for Mcd, the trade is 1 for 1

Yup. It’s a long shot, but it’s still a shot. I’m sure he’s not happy losing in back to back Cup finals, I’m sure he’s not happy losing in 6 vs 7 (step back for their team) and I’m sure he’s not happy with how free agency has gone. They lost a lot of guys and replaced them with only Mangiapane. They haven’t addressed the tendie situation at all, and other teams in their division loaded up. Plus, LA has a guaranteed ticket to lose in the finals with Perry.

like Tavres to the Leafs was a long shot, I thought there was like 2% chance.
Also I never thought Marner would leave either.So I’m just looking things over and here’s a little interest.
Maccelli: $3.43 million (40P estimate)
Roy: $3 million (30P estimate)Find another guy for $3 million who can dump 30P in and bang, there’s Marner’s 100P replaced for $9.43 million while offering far more balanced scoring.
My 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.
Since Bobbyson is RFA, and this goes to arbitration, the Leafs would not be able to trade him.

I get what you’re saying but how in the hell do the leafs sign him without getting rid of Matthews? That would have to happen.

while I dont buy the, you have to replace Marners 100 points thing. there is more too it. Like the 2 players you mention take other players spots or push others down..who would have also produced.
but these are the /82 game production for them
Macelli 46
Roy 38 (41 over past 4 seasons)Both those are prob on the low side, but maybe they dont play full 82
Marner already ruining Vegas.

Don’t the Leafs have $26M or something like that in cap space next year? Obviously, the rest of the team is going to be filled with plugs (look at the current Oilers), but historically, 97 can single-handedly drag a team of plugs to the finals. Roughly, last year’s leaf team minus Marner and plus McDavid gives an aging Florida team their toughest challenge.

I get what you’re saying hence my low estimates but who are they replacing? Kampf, Jarnkrok, Reaves, Robertson? Hell, those 4 didn’t even land 50 last year.
I won’t miss Marner, he’s got great hands and he’s a fantastic passer but he’s simply not worth what a Canadian team would have to pay to keep him around. Keep targeting the American players Toronto, that way you give it all to them as a bonus July 1st while they live in the US and only pay them league minimum through the season just like you do with Matthews.

The ship has sailed but I was really hoping to get Brown in the bottom-6 because he’s an exceptional penalty killer and still puts up 30 points / season with limited opportunity to do so.
One way of looking at it is that Marner scored roughly 30 goals but a healthy Auston Matthews will make up half of that. Nic Roy will contribute another 15 from the third line. If Maccelli works out, you get another 15 or so. The question isn’t the offense, per se, it is the penalty killing and the defensive awareness that Marner brought. As much as we all got frustrated when he’d screw up, he did make a lot of good defensive plays and was typically reading plays well and being in the right position to stop plays from developing. Maccelli has some larger shoes to fill there – a more mature Knies will help, a healthy Matthews will help – but I did want them to find a faster guy or two to enhance that PK.
Lots of summer left. Not a lot of options.

Since Bobbyson is RFA, and this goes to arbitration, the Leafs would not be able to trade him.
You can still trade him NOW. I’m pretty sure the arbitration restrictions apply once the hearing happens. So there’s like a 48 hour window between the hearing and the ruling – during this period a player can’t be traded. Even after a player (or team) elects for arbitration, the player can be traded until the hearing happens.
So if the player elects arbitration, the team can’t trade them if they don’t accept the award, but they can walk away (losing the player as a UFA).
If the team elects arbitration, the team cannot walk away and must accept the award.Once an award is accepted, the player can be traded.
