ReimerThis group is going to Detroit tonight
No reason to get another bottom six guy. Save the $ for TDL or offseason
Unless they just don’t want Kampf at all and would rather just sign some guy who plays more of a Berube type style for $1.15 mill or less. That way once Laughton comes a back they send the new guy down and if he clears great but if he gets claimed who cares?
To me this just absolute proof that Kampf is done as a leaf, I’m just willing to bet that Treliving won’t move him for practically nothing if he has to hang on to some of his contract.
Welp, Kampf is on waivers now, so he’s almost certainly gone for nothing. Meh.
Treliving hopes someone claims him so he can go out and grab someone cheaper to cover for Laughton lol
I wounder if the Leafs management is waiting till the last minute to waive player such Kampf, Jarnkrok and others.
Could there be a deal with Seattle to move Kampf and Benning say for Winnipeg’s 2nd round pick in 2027.Waiting to see who is the most desperate to fill their roster with a NHL player due to injuries?
Marner could have been a hero had he signed for reasonable amount (my gawd Kaprisov deal is horrible), quit whining and truly showed up in the playoffs.
But he did neither.
How good and physical the leafs will be remains to be seen…only the results in April will matter. But for 9 years it wasnt working with this core. Things had to change. They did.
Some need to move on, let it go. This isnt marner’s dads leafs anymore…..marner ran away.Question is, with how old and injury prone the leafs seem to be….can the full team survive the full season? Can matthews be the matthews of 3 years ago?
The 3rd line does look great though.I will say it quickly, Marner has talent, I know this, but he’s a whiner and I won’t miss him at all on the leafs. There’s my opinion, the end.
What I do think will be the shock for leaf fans this year is getting used to having a bottom six that actually is good again for the first time in over a couple f’n decades. They haven’t had this since before the rebuild and it’s why I think some leaf fans are still panicking about this type of restructuring. They either don’t remember how this is the more effective way to build a team or they aren’t old enough to have ever seen it, at least not on the leafs.
Mcdavid will take a home town discount
with the Leafs
How do the leafs dump Matthews to pull it off is the main question.
So like I said, you have no real argument (only excuses) for why Tavares, Nylander and Rielly are still on the team with Berube as head coach because they all absolutely suck defensively and provide zero physicality or two-way play.
Nor should they be. Line 2 is not the defensive line of the top 6, nothing unusual for a team, and a non defensive d man who is a 50P threat at $7.5? That doesn’t bother me either.
I know you love the guy but Marner is a crybaby, and he’s been one since he’s been here in London. Talented as hell sure, but he’s also a big ass whiner. I genuinely hope that playing in a less intense market will be better for him, southern Ontario is not where he belongs.
Must be why Tavares, Rielly and Nylander were removed from the team. Oh wait, that’s the sound of that argument imploding.
He was worth much more than what they offered. Just because he was willing to take a form of discount doesn’t mean he was going to take a total discount.
Ok I’m giving JT the pass now, the old vet is still damn near a PPG and he signed nice and cheap deal to make up for signing for what turned out to be too much. Please keep in mind it wouldn’t have seemed to be that high if that Covid lockdown didn’t happen either. Him being a little high at the first year or two of his contract isn’t abnormal in this league, problem is due to that 2 year lockdown on the cap he never escaped it so he always seemed too high. The guessed thinking when it was offered would have been that cap should have been at least his salary higher when his contract ended.
Rielly… the on and off light switch? Come on man you know what year is coming up lol
Nylander has been climbing at what he’s good at so let’s just hope that continues. He’s a speedy ass offensive threat that keeps the opposition on their toes. They know that even if they have the puck if they accidentally give it up and he’s on the ice watch out cause he could take off with it because he doesn’t play a physical D and they know it. So that is Nylander’s defence, sticking inside the opposition’s head.
When it comes to Marner it’s unfortunate but his demand obviously had to do with take home, which meant more than $13.5, which was all the leafs were willing to offer cap wise. So if take home meant that much to him, he had to choose a team in a lower taxation location.
As for the other comment about Ford lol, and lol again, I was waiting for you to say that. Just saw him on the news chatting in the hammer about video cameras getting used more, is that guy ever going to learn how to talk? lol

Marner would have stayed for less than 16.And this fantasy about Berube’s style is a myth. Marner played two way hockey. Nothing changed before, during or after Marner.
Berube wants fast/physical north south hockey and he said it himself. As for Marner staying for less, he was offered less and he said no.
