I think they move Domi and add Marchand and Mangiapane.
Hope they dont offer anymore than $6m per for Marchand….simply not worth it. IMO
Ugh…so the trade gets worse. Brad cant seem to make a good trade.
Small price to pay if he puts up 50+ points for $3.5M, the 64th pick in 2029 is likely to be a dude.
I edited my post…..its too early to tell if its a bad trade…gotta wait until the season gets going.
But right now….meh.hr has Mitch at 183cm and Micelli at 180cm
one of these players is tinylol well 3cm is 1-1/4” ????
And thats alot!!!
So I keep telling my GF.
so 24yo

low risk bet. just the cap hit. not sure how he fits Leafs systemIt’s a 2027 3rd that upgrades to a 2029 2nd if Maccelli scores 51 points next year and Toronto makes the playoffs.

Leafs acquire Matias maccelli from utah for a conditional 3rd round pick
Looks like 3rd liner.
i dont know much of anything about this person
I had to look him up. He played 3rd line for the mammoth, once scored 17 goals, scored 8 last year…24 year old finn with a $3.4m cap hit. Which seems pretty high.

Leafs have $13m in cap and desparately need to improv their bottom 6.
Wasting $8m – 9m on Marchand is simply not a good idea and honestly doesnt move the needle much come playoff time as it would take cap away from getting quality bottom 6 players.
Sign P Kane if you can, get some quality players for the bottom 6 on short term deals. Save most of the cap for next off seasonKane is also 36
Leafs have 14.5 in space, if you dont count Myers. But could also move a couple players to make more room.
Yes Kane is a year younger and would be about 2 – 3 million cheaper….and probably spend less time in the penalty box.
I think Kane extends with Detroit….but Id prefer him over MarchandLeafs have $13m in cap and desparately need to improv their bottom 6.

$6m for marchand or he can piss off. Leafs will be screwed if they sign him for anything more than that…..he’s 37 for crying out loud.
I hope to hell marchand is not a leaf.Id be fine with Marchand also, I dont care so much now about where he plays. its about lining up for the playoffs. His line played against tough matchups wasnt just softies.
Leafs just need to build out 3 lines that are tough to play against.
37 years old. Hes not the answer for $8 – $9m and hes simply not a top/2nd line player on a playoff team that wants to win the cup (sure he could fill in on the 2nd, but its not the best place for him).
Just another player the leafs will miscast.Yes, so far he is almost in the same category, but I still have some hopes for him,
because of injures.
He is the Leafs first line center, without him this team
has no chance to compete.This is just rationalizing giving Matthews a free pass. The injury narrative is constant and tired. Whenever he doesn’t produce, he is magically “injured”, so he is excused.
The truth about Matthews is that he *should* be a top-3 player in this league. He has the talent. We have all seen it. The reality is that nobody on the Leafs has underperformed their talent, or their salary, in the playoffs more than he has.
This.

Hague trade brings in Sissons (another bottom 6C). Roy to Toronto seems more likely.
Vegas will have to trim more salary to get marner under the cap, even at $12 x 4
Ok, I’m coming around on signing Marchand. Leafs need to bump Kampf and Jarnkrok off the ship after bonus day and if they do they’ll have about 19M to spend on a top 6 FWD and 4 bottom 6 replacements. Nab Roy as one of the pieces and you’ve still got 16M to spend. Sign Marchand to bigger money, shorter term (b/c they really don’t need to back end it and lower the AAV). Spend some money on good 1 yr deals on the 4th line.
If the dust settles this week and the lineup looks like …
Marchand-Matthews-Nylander
Knies-Tavares-McMann
Domi-Laughton-Roy
3 Heavy forechecking types…….I’m good. Maybe drop Laughton down a line and spend on another good 3rd liner.
Sorry but marchand on the top line just isnt a good idea, the only reason he was effective with the panthers was because he was on the 3rd line.
