That does not scream “major changes”.
It does when your hero has given every indication that he wants to play elsewhere.
I am not sure why this is such a hard thing for you to grasp.. Even if the Leafs offered 8 X $14. According to Friedman or Dregger he already turned down 8 x $13.5 in season.
The Leafs need to see if any on the Marlies can play.
Let Steves replace Robertson.
Give Villneive/Neimela a chance at camp. I think Topi is gone from Toronto’s plans as he is too small…They wasted his value when it was high.
RFA’s on my Wish list.. Morgan Geekie, Noah Dobson, Mason Mctavish.
Maybe see if you can pry Peterka/Byram out of Buffalo. Toronto does not have the assets but Buffalo is a tire fire and maybe they will take stuff.
There was a rumor that was on the other board that i had not heard that Berube wanted to spread Mathews/Marner and Nylander across the three lines and the players were not in favor.
Two other unsubstantiated rumors I heard this week(From a guy that knows a bunch of allums)
1) The team is not actually that close off the ice as they make it seem
2) Reilly has a cocaine problemCan’t say they are true or not.. But it is rumor season.
Some people here cannot accept that Marner was offered (as per Dregger) 13.5 x 8 and turned it down,, It was after that Tre approached him about waiving his NMC. He clearly does not want to be hear for is looking to be the highest paid player in the league. Good for him.. Do it someplace else.
Marner will be gone by his own choice and that is fine.. The reasoning that they cannot win without Marner is flawed. Where is Florida’s MM? Where is Carolina’s MM?
Seems people say that the Leaf’s can’t win without him but they have not won with him and other teams are winning without him.
Bring JT back if it is a short team friendly deal. Mathews and Nylander are going nowhere unless they want to.
As for Peterson.. He could not handle the pressure in Vancouver in the regular season.. Toronto would crush him.,
Florida was expected to win this series. I am less upset they lost and more with how they lost. If game 5 and 7 were competitive and had both been losses I would likely be ok.
I think anyone but a complete moron or troll can see that Marner wants to test free agency. He wants to be the center of attention and he wants to be the star of his team and in the process will probably get $14-15 mil. If he wanted to sign here he would have by now.
Tre has done a fabulous job with Goal and the D in his time so far.. We need to trust that he can do the same to the forward group.
He has pulled of trades that nobody saw coming (Carlo) to help the D.
The first thing that needs to happen is Shanny needs to go.. He has been a failure here went off the board and hired Dubas who crippled this team by handing out contracts rather than bridge deals and has incubated the coddling of the stars.
Washington and Ovechkin have advanced past the 2nd round 1 time in 20 years
Colorado and McKinnon have advanced past the 2nd round 1 time in 11 yearsGoaltending is not where the Leafs need to improve
G is set for next year
D is basically set for next yearThey will have $25 mil available.
Knies gets a raise
Resign Tavares on Team friendly deal
Resign Holmberg(I would not have said this before the playoffs)
Trade Kampf, Jarncock, Reaves (Free up 4 mil)
If you can find a trade for Rielly yo do it.
I am 50/50 on trading Domi
Use some of the Marlies that they clearly are not going to promorte as trade capital (Niemela\Kokkonen..ect)Bring in some heavy players.
I would take a run at Ekblad if he makes it to UFA..
I hate to say it.. Knies is catching whatever Mathews and Marner have.
He has been soft the last couple of games as well
