Rielly has given the Leafs 4 Western Teams he’d accept a trade to.
I think they are: Anaheim, LA, San Jose and Seattle.I thought Vancouver would be in that list.
Keep hearing Matthews to a California team for 2 1sts. Seems like San Jose.
I don’t believe it. That would mean they are rebuilding, which I think they have no appetite for. Instead, they will keep Matthews and fail miserably, again. I would not be surprised if they eventually let him walk for nothing. That would be the stupidest move, so it’s perfectly Leafy.
I wish they would make that trade for #2 AND #9. The problem I have is the Knies roomors. I would prefer they keep knies. He is young enough to be part of a rebuild. Now that Byram is gone, maybe those roomers go away.
some predictions for the coming year +
Leafs Draft Mckenna
Nylander is not traded
Matthews re-signs
Leafs Make the playoffs 2027Chayka is a wild card for me, hasnt been in the league for years and was a bit of a erratic in his moves, so wouldn’t shock me if the opposite happened for all
Who do the Leafs beat out for a playoff spot? I think they are easily the worst team in the Atlantic next year.
It is time to sell Matthews and Nylander for whatever you can get that is young, particularly defensemen, and start over. Re-tooling is a joke.
What I’m hearing about Claude Lemieux… oh man
Yeah, it’s not good. It’s tough to hear about stuff like this.
Please let this be the end of the ridiculous Habs luck. They had no business beating Tampa in game 7 when Tampa’s best player was a no-show and their best Dman was injured. A quick whistle ended Buffalo’s season in game 7, now they are being outplayed up and down the ice and somehow are dragging Carolina into overtime games.
The truth is, the east is not what it was, even 3 or 4 years ago. The Habs have managed to fluke their way past mediocre competition.
HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA. Someone insisted it was not harder to play in Toronto, I believe saying it was BS. Also head so far up Mitchie’s ass he doesn’t realize Mitch had likely decided by the trade deadline he was leaving Toronto, but refused the trade since it likely involved signing an extension. (Rumour was Rantanen was ready to sign and that is why Toronto wanted him). Fair Mitch wanted to test FA and that is his right, but he also likely wanted to stick it to them because he is a baby.
It is possible that it got to the point where he was walking and there was nothing they could do. The problem is that other teams don’t let that happen. The perfect example is Rantanen himself.
Looks like we’re running out of steam. Two emotional days and now it’s hibernation time, until June. Do we care about any of the series? Maybe hoping that Buffalo smites Montreal. Carolina is a bore. Anaheim vs Vegas is the kiddies table series. The winner gets swept by the victor of Colorado vs Minnesota. The only final that would be acceptable is Minnesota vs Buffalo.
Been cheering for Buffalo since the playoffs started. It’s been a great story for them this year. Of course, almost every single Habs fan I know is fvcking nauseating and never shuts the F up about the Habs so I would cheer for anyone over them.
Yesterday, at this time…very few options. Today, many options.
Option 1, moving Matthews to Los Angeles. Quinton Byfield would be a must. Also, the Leafs would get a 1st this year and their first next year. Los Angeles is in dire need for a Center. Leafs should bring back Scott Laughton as a UFA signing.
Option 2, Moving Matthews plus Robertson to Philadelphia. Trevor Zegras, Nikita Grebenkin and Philly’s first, this year and the 1st rounder of Toronto that’s owed for 2028.
Option 3, Moving Matthews to Anaheim for Cutter Gauthier and a first, next year.
Unfortunately, I think Matthews gets you none of those packages. Constant injuries, and a contract way out of line with his performance diminishes that return significantly. I still think he has to go.
The LA proposal would be the closest but I would be thrilled to get Byfield and 1 first, nevermind 2.
Winning the lottery *should* lead to trading Matthews and Nylander, and proceeding with an actual rebuild, hopefully getting a franchise D (somehow) and replenishing a few picks.
What will happen is they will try to re-tool and continue to make a mess of it.
There is no way this team is better than ANY other team in the Atlantic. I am not sure they are even close to anyone.
A retard would read this and ask you if you are Steve Simmons.
But you are absolutely correct. Unfortunately, because they can’t tank again until 2029, this rather fucks things up.
I really wish you would stop using that word.
Yeah they are missing so many picks, the only real way to “rebuild” even is to trade Matthews and Nylander in their prime when the cap is about to go up and they can be afforded. I just don’t see any hope that they can re-tool and compete now or rebuild with so few young assets now or in the near future.
They have nothing at all on defense. It needs a complete overhaul.
