You gotta figure Kampf and Jarny are on their way to San Jose. They need to get to the cap floor and now that their bonuses are paid, SJ can take on their full cap hits without having to pay real dollars for their contracts.
Yup, and now Jarnkrok will only cost $775K more and Kampf will only cost $3.48 million more post this years bonuses.
What’s to re-assess? They moved out Marner, they need to fill that roster spot, and the only UFA option is Ehlers, who’s a LW anyways and not a Berube player, so what else are they supposed to do?
They aren’t bringing in another star player. That has been the complaint. The leafs were built wrong. Too many stars and not enough character.
It will be an average winger who can feed Matthews and Knies for that line moving forward and that is it. They’re already spending $20 million on the top line, they won’t be spending much more. The person who gets added will be carried by those two, not a guy who will be expected to carry those two.
Vinni Lettieri, boys, plan the parade.
Waiting for the pictures of him in Leaf PJs.
Another 1 year deal.
A bottom six build up year just like I mentioned. My primary curiousity at this point is who are they going to dump and how.

They’re in win now mode though, so I definitely could see them moving Cowan for the right player.They’ve been in “win now mode” for 5 years. Time to re-access.
Besides, I think Cowan is part of their plans going forward….at least for this year.What’s to re-assess? They moved out Marner, they need to fill that roster spot, and the only UFA option is Ehlers, who’s a LW anyways and not a Berube player, so what else are they supposed to do?
I’m beginning to guess term isn’t something Treliving is willing to offer this year. Why? I won’t even pretend to know. My guess is it’s because unlike previous GMs he’s simply not seeing anyone he likes as more than a one year fill in.This years UFA class was extremely weak compared to other years, and certainly when compared to next year. For that reason, I’ve been saying for months that next year is going to be a step backward and I saw the writing on the wall with Marner. Unless there is a big splash coming, Brad has cap space available at the TDL and lots available for July 1st, 2026. While I don’t expect the Leafs to win the division next year, I’m still excited for the future. Knies re-signing was a huge positive for the Leafs moving forward.
Yup.
As I posted earlier, grab a skinner, patches and or Nyquist on one year deals….get two or all three.
Im sure cowan will play a role as well.Or maybe spend a little more and get one of Olofsson, beauvillier or roslovic…but the term may need to be longer

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.
Yup.
