Don’t think you can get a 5mil consistent 20g 50p type guy with another year on his deal after coming off a career year for anything less.
I would wait, esp dealing another 1st. See how the team plays to start the season. Unless some great deal fell into their lap.
The should have more cap space than they ever have. Another top 6 forward is prob the need. but other needs might pop up half way into the season1st round picks should be off limits going forward. This Leafs team could be thrown into a full rebuild really fast and the last thing they need is another Kessel situation where they have a lottery team and no draft pick.
Season will be decided by the goaltending. If Stolarz is still statistically the second best performing goalie behind Hellebuyck and Woll is healthy and good, they’ll be a strong team again. Maybe not division winners, but there’s no clear regular season* favourites for the Atlantic.
Stolarz (career high 34 games) has never played a full season (50-60 games) and neither has Woll (career high 42 games). They have two capable back-ups, a 1A and 1B situation but both have injury concerns. If that’s what determines the Leafs success, it’s more of a gamble than a sure thing. Case in point, Stolarz got hurt twice last year, Matt Murray ended up playing in the playoffs which is exactly why the Leafs are planning to bring in Reimer to be the Marlies goalie / 3rd stringer on a PTO. They know their goaltending can go from hero to zero very, very fast.
And to the people who think “well Bennett knocked out Stolarz on purpose blah blah blah” is the only reason he got hurt, if your logic is correct, they will do it again and the Leafs will be right back where they were last year.
The Panthers are clearly the favorites both regular season and playoffs. Their team is basically the same. The only reason they won’t threepeat is if Bob acts his age or if they get ravaged by injuries.
Tampa Bay still has Hedman, Kucherov, Point, Guentzel, Hagel and Vasilevskiy so with that much MVP power, they’re not done being a threat either.
So. What do they need to add to Robertson in a deal for Rickard Rakell? Kampf for salary, Hildeby and the first 2028? Not sure they have the assets for it without giving up Cowan which would likely be a mistake.
The Penguins are not trading their #1 goal scorer before the season starts with Crosby still on the team. If the Penguins really suck and blow it up at the deadline, then it might happen. But it’s not going to happen now.
And they’d need to add A LOT more than Robertson to make that happen. Probably Cowan and/or a 1st round pick, neither of which the Leafs can afford to trade for a poor man’s version of Nylander with bad playoff stats to boot.
It’s not happening.
Robertson for Tomasino could happen. That’d be an upgrade for the Leafs. Otherwise, it’s a dream.
And UG trashes this opinion…
I read a proposed deal with Pittsburg.
Maple Leafs Acquire:Bryan Rust ($5,125,000)
Rickard Rakell ($5,000,000)Penguins Acquire:
Nick Robertson ($1,825,000)
Jake McCabe ($4,491,898)
Matias Maccelli ($3,425,000)
Easton Cowan ($873,500)It would be hard for me to do this deal. So I would not do it.

That’s an overpay by the Leafs in my eyes – I’d pass on that deal.

I propose a deal where Edmonton gives us McDavid and we give them a conditional 7th round pick.
The condition? If the Leafs win 5 Cups in a row, they get to swap 7th round picks with us in 2035 AND one crisp, unrolled, roll up the rim to win Tim Hortons cups.
The funny thing about “proposals” is anybody can make them up. Doesn’t mean they’re real or remotely logical.
There is no chance in the world the Penguins are trading their #1 and #3 goal scorers (both 30+ goals) before the season starts and in return they get McCabe (2 goals), Robertson (15 goals), Maccelli (8 goals) and Cowan (0 goals). Saying NO to this deal is the cherry on top. Pretty sure Crosby would tie Dubas to his garage door and shoot pucks at him like his childhood dryer in Cole Harbour if the Penguins even thought about doing this deal.

You are too funny mAAn.
Cant get into hockeybuzz. No idea why but cant log in so here I am. Any roomers, news, activity in getting rid of Jamrock and Kampfing? Trying to find anything Leafs related while on vacay but some sites work here and some dont. Most of my apps dont. Anyone help a brother out? Any signings? Max P news?

No real news yet.
Just rumours about a crazy pens deal and that apparently the leafs have a verbal deal with Roslovic but need to unload cap…..not sure thats true.As for HB, ya it sucks. I cant log in either, doesnt recognize by email but I cant create a new account with my old name cause my old name still exist.
Weird Roslovic guy… why? Is he much better than Jamrock or Max P? Wasn’t he healthy scratch in the playoffs for his last team or am I wrong? When talking DNA does have more of what we need than Max P?

Roslovic absolutely sucks. Gives the puck away easy, soft player, career -37, 3 career playoff goals in 45 playoff games.
He scores 22 goals, at his best, and sucks at everything else.
