I know I like doing line ups, but I am genuinely curious about the holes or Tree & Berubae’s logic if they don’t sign any one else and wait until TDL.

After watching a Joshua video of “what he brings to the Leafs” kinda interview, I get a strange feeling he’s going to be given a chance as the Knies of the second line.

Knies, Matthews, Domi/Marccelli
Joshua, Tavares, Nylander
McMann, Roy, Marccelli/Domi
Lorentz, Laughton, Boyd//Pezz

McCabe, Tanev
Rielly, Carlo
Benoit, OEL
Myers

Stoli
Woll

So that’s how I see the line up as it stands now.

If Rielly gets his shit together, I don’t mind our D at all. G is good for another year but I do think they should lock up Stoli early and trade Woll for a less oft injured solid #2 or #1B type.

Forward group I don’t really mind but there are 2 question marks for me:
1. Domi as 1RW?
2. Marccelli as 1RW?

To me the bottom 6 could be wicked good if we had:

Marcelli, Roy, Domi
Lorentz, Laughton, Pezz/Boyd

Robertson, McMann, Kampf, Jarnkrok should all go for cap space and I saw a idea/rumor to trade Robertson for Trochek and I like that idea. He’s a no quit player.

Knies, Matthews, Trochek
Joshua, Tavares, Nylander

That top 6 could be pretty tough to handle with the bottom 6 line up from above. And, moving Jarn, Kampf, Robbie would clear more than enough space for his $5.25m.

So how confident would you fellas feel about this line up going into the playoffs:

Knies, Matthews, Trochek
Joshua/Marccelli, Tavares, Nylander
Joshua/Marccelli, Roy, Domi
Lorentz, Laughton, Pezz/Boyd

McCabe, Tanev
Rielly, Carlo
Benoit, OEL
Myers

Stoli
Woll

Actually, I trust that line up a helluva lot more than the last 9 seasons. You guys???

Not sure I trust it more or not. Most of the disappointing playoff no shows still remain.
Gonna be another, “lets see what they do in April” year for me. What occurs in the reg season simply wont matter to me.
One thing I know for sure…is with every win, the Marner haters will go on about how he’s not missed, and with every lost the Marner lovers will go on about how its the end of the world.

For now, I’m on the Leafs will miss his reg season points…but it wont be the end of the world…or cost them a playoff spot.

Unless Matthews goes down for an extended period of time

Cant get into hockeybuzz. No idea why but cant log in so here I am. Any roomers, news, activity in getting rid of Jamrock and Kampfing? Trying to find anything Leafs related while on vacay but some sites work here and some dont. Most of my apps dont. Anyone help a brother out? Any signings? Max P news?

No real news yet.
Just rumours about a crazy pens deal and that apparently the leafs have a verbal deal with Roslovic but need to unload cap…..not sure thats true.

As for HB, ya it sucks. I cant log in either, doesnt recognize by email but I cant create a new account with my old name cause my old name still exist.

Replying to senstroll, I couldnt quote you.

Im sure he will get a 8 – 10 year deal, Im just hoping the Jays dont lock him up for that long term at a high price.
Id prefect high price short term. But I’ll be wrong and he’ll get paid.

Personally, I hope they lock up Varsho long term soon.

I cant get into HB either. It doesnt recognize my email at all and when I try to create a new account with my old name, it says my old name still exist.
Hasnt been worth the headache yet…maybe come october.
Adding an avatar here can be a pain.

not a chance that happens. he gets 200 mil as UFA easy min.

hes 27, 10 years 250 mil would be fine.

it doesnt feel like it, but he leads the entire league in Hits. by a dozen[/quote]

Every yank ball analyst that has been on Sportsnet lately for a hit has said Bo is a $170 – $185m player on the open market.
We dont need Bo for 10 years, plus I think he will probably have a big drop off in about 5 years. Also, we already have anchor of contract in vlad.

Id even do 3 years at $28 per.

I read a proposed deal with Pittsburg.
Maple Leafs Acquire:

Penguins Acquire:

Nick Robertson ($1,825,000)
Jake McCabe ($4,491,898)
Matias Maccelli ($3,425,000)
Easton Cowan ($873,500)

Thats a horrible deal for the leafs.
Hard pass.

No.
Id do a 5 year $125m.
We have a potential Bo replacement coming up.
Keep it short term

Guess we gotta create new ones?

Yeah he doesn’t seem to fit on the Leafs unless you believe he is due for a big breakout year. I don’t see that happening.[/quote]

With marner gone, try him on the top two lines for a while.
If allowed to play a full 82 games, he could be a 20 goal scorer.

[Fakepartofme]

I’m tired of Jays playing it safe. If he gets back to form, their rotation becomes really good for a decent price (maybe 3rd best pitching prospect). The player option means he likely goes to FA. He’s pretty much a rental[/quote]

Thats my concern…he could be just a rental.

Toronto-Cleveland trade will be 1 for 1, source says.

Shane Bieber for Khal Stephen.

Im on the fence about this. It could be great or a disaster.
He wont be back until mid August…maybe start him as a long relief arm until he’s 100%.
He has a player option which if he is good he will opt out, if he sucks, the Jays will be stuck paying it for a year

Fake account. There’s no space in mine. Kinda weird thing to do.

What an F’n loser.
Seems to be the 2nd one here, probably by the same person. Who has time in their life for this nonsense?
