Would Barry Trotz consider not retiring and joining the Leafs ….
Then see if Torts would want to coach …..[/quote]Both old school mentality and Trotz wasnt a great GM.
I heard that Tre was working on a deal with Montreal that included Knies.
It’s looking like won’t take that long, remember Matthews is a western American boy so he didn’t grow up watching the leafs, their games would have been on at f’n supper time for him, so if they don’t get their shit back together in a hurry he’ll bail, head back to the US, and likely play over in the west.
And when that happens the leafs will be a bunch of old guys, Nylander, some half decent younger guys and that’s it, nobody decent will sign here because of it and they will forced into a rebuild. I’m guessing 1 more year tops and if they suck ass again they sell Matthews July 2nd 2027 in his final year at half the cap hit once everything but $900K has been paid to him. The return would be sweet.[/quote]
Meh, we’ve heard the matthews is leaving thing before, all conjecture.
Supper time is the perfect time to watch a hockey game as a kid, Im sure some of the coyotes games were actually on at that time.He’s the captain of the leafs, during good and bad times. Its good for him to go through some bad times as the captain, this is where we will really see what he’s made of.
He’s not a fan of Berube, so the leafs will probably have a new coach this off season.But lets be serious, this will be the first year in Matthews career that he wont be in the playoffs, thats a good run for him.
Also, Matthews has 1 goal in the past 15 games, he’s 36th in goals scores this season, 61st in points….so he wears some of the results as well.Tre really screwed the leafs with trading those 1st, I didnt like the moves then…absolutely hate them now.
The Leafs are leafing!Tre needs to fired asap.
Keep Berube to keep losing the rest of the season.But we all know the leafs are giving boston a top 10 pick.
As expected, big day for the leafs!
LOL
Minor trades still may trickle in.
But it looks like only McMann and Roy out the door.edit:
Maybe Laughton out the door as well? But havent seen it posted anywhere. Thought he would have been a good 4th line center going forwardCome on tre, get moving.
McMann and Maccelli need to get moved at a minimum.
Im fine with keeping laughton and extended.
Gotta have some bodies to complete the year.Fake — Do you think the Leafs will be better next year?
If the Leafs pick falls in the top 5, Boston’s pick will be unprotected in 2027.
For me, I’d rather them have a pick in the teens.who knows.. What if they win the draft lottery like the Islandeer did last year.
That would be sweet.For them to be better next year, they will all need to be healthy and will need to get a new coach, a 2nd line center, top 6 winger and a top 4 dman. Tall order.
My hope is they get a top 5 pick this year and improve enough that the 2027 pick is not in the top 13.But ya, winning the lottery would be great….exactly what the leafs need. But with the leafs luck, they would finish with a top 5 pick but then the lottery pushed them to 6th overall.
Also I read that the Leafs are seeing what is available for Knies. Seeing if there is a package that would blow them away.
OEL has been good for the leafs, but Carlson is the better player. OEL has term and good contract.
IF he is moved, I would expect the picks coming back would fall inbetween what Carlson and weegar got.
Late 1st, and a 4th….or a couple of 2nds and ok prospect.However, the leafs will then have to turn around in the summer and try and find a replacement for OEL….which will cost them more than OEL’s cap.
But move out everyone, keep Berube on until the end of the year and go for that top 5 pick.
Reset and work towards having that 2028 1st rounder to boston in the 24 plus range.Why do I have to scroll through 1500 posts? Is there a “goto the end” button I am missing?
Good to see the usual still around having the same conversations.
I only came to see how everyone is faring.
I havent watched many games since they suck but for what it is worth, I think it should be a retool type of year. Roy for a 1st is nice. Hopefully get back some ready to play guys like a Minten lol. Sucks that happened! Shanny trying to save his job and helps overpay lol.
I dont think these issue are purely on Marner leaving. Lots of issues in total. Lots of goalie injuries, no Tanev, bit of Matthews injury.
Bad year. I dont think this is the total decline. I think this is a good wake up call for the core guys.They spread the cap out on the big 4, didnt work. Regular season matters cause if you dont do well, no playoffs. I rather the past 9 years than the previous 9 before it.
Matthews is too good to give up on. Washington, Colorado, even Pitts didnt give up on their generational talent and they eventually won. Pitts might even make the playoffs TWO years after people thought Sid and Co were all washed up when Dubas took over.
Ah well. Tomorrow will be fun in a different way.
Tre made the minten trade, not Shanny though….either way, it was a bad trade.
MAtthews is definitely no Crosby….not even close and he’s no Ovechkin and I wouldnt consider matthews generational talent.
No one thought Sid was washed up, just that the pens werent a good team around him…and they werent…and really arent. Just having a good season.
Yikes, Parayko declined to waive to go to Buffalo, (can’t blame him). Sucks for Buffalo fans. Might as well grab OEL for slightly more;-)
Why do teams announce trades when it still requires a player to waive?!?!
Media announces it.
Would have been a good add for Buffalo.Good start, Leafs get a 1st for those that like to jerk it to 1sts
Im sure Tre will trade it away next season for another 3rd liner
Leefs..so leefy
what Brad Treliving has built is simply not good enough. That he’s being lapped by a Pittsburgh retool built off the scrap heap by the guy he replaced is an extremely bad look
we didnt know how good (bad) we had it. It could be a long time before we see a Leafs team that has a run like the Last 10 seasons. just massively wasted opportunity
Tre pretty much Brian Burked this team
Well I didnt have Roy has a possible trade target for the leafs to move out, but Tre actually got a 2027 1st rounder and the Avs lowest 5th round pick (2026)
Maybe that means Laughton is staying?thats what I was thinking, they could probably squeeze one 1st out of someone. but doubt much more.
Tre way overpaid for Carlo and Laughton, now he will sell at a big loss. if he even trades them.[/quote]
Agreed.
No one was gonna pay the price Tre paid for those two players last season.I’d expect 2nd’s, 3rd’s and 4th’s coming back this deadline…maybe one 1st.
4 or 5 1st rounders? WTF. BAHAHAHA!
Someone is not living in reality as we all know.
Leafs arent trading Matthews or Nylander.
If they move OEL, they could get a 1st for him.
McMann, Laughton, Domi, Macielli…are probably going to get 2nd’s, 3rd’s and 4th’s….unless someone is really desperate and stupid. (Maybe Tre is trading with himself?)
