Someone started paying attention and saw the state of the Leafs threads. That can’t be good for them.[/quote]

Ek saying that it was glitch in the system that got everyone banned.
It was posters from all teams that were banned.

Just weird he never replied to anyone who tried to contact him about it.

It seems my unjust ban on the board that shall remain nameless has been lifted 2 weeks early.
Interesting.

Kadri is out there as a name. Send Calgary Hildebeast, Robertson and a prospect or pick to retain some salary, 25%.
Too bad we couldn’t trade for a few years of Patty Kane. Detroit is light on D, send them Rielly for P Kane and a Pick.
Dump Jarn, Kampf, and any other scraps to below the Cap teams.

And viola, Cap Compliant and Balanced ready for the playoffs and a fucking CUP!!!

Knies, Mattews, P. Kane
Kadri, Tavares, Nylander
Domi, Roy, Maricelli
Lorentz, Laughton, Pezz

McCabe, Tanev
OEL, Carlo
Benoit, Myers/Danforth/???

Stoli
Woll

Depending on the leftover Cap space look for an upgrade for a bottom RHD…Myers should do

Kane just signed an extension with the wings, so he wont be traded anywhere this summer.
I dont think that would be enough for Kadri…specially if Calgary is to retain

It’s usually best to keep the LHD on the left and the RHD on the right, except in rare situations like the PP.

I was saying Tanev is not Seth Jones, not Carlo. But you’re right, neither is like Jones. Jones could take over a game. He did more than once against the Leafs. The Leafs don’t have that, on the left or the right. They just have Rielly who does have tremendous playoff puck luck offensively but terrible defensively. And year after year, it’s cost them in the playoffs.

I can agree with this. The Leafs do need another above average Right-handed defenseman. They keep floating Karlsson out there. If they’d take Rielly off of our hands and gave the Leafs $2M retained for the last 2 years of Karlsson, than go for that. It could also include other pieces, where Pittsburgh gets a player like McMann or Robertson and the Leafs get a second rounder, or a good 3rd line forward in return. Would Rielly like to play with Sid and Gino? Back with Dubas? Let’s see if that could play.

Karlsson is horrible.
Avoid him at all cost.

You’re comparing apples to tire irons.

Bozak left as a UFA for 5 AAV. Kadri was traded for garbage, stupidly, while he was still making 4.25. He was a bargain. On Colorado, he was on their 2nd line, point per game player in their Cup run with 2 GWG. He was always a playoff guy and the Leafs, who badly needed that, threw him away for a pile of dog shit. They spent the next 5 years trying to replace Kadri at the deadline by throwing away 1st round picks and prospects. Foligno, ROR, Laughton, etc. all to try and bring back what they gave away with Kadri. Same will now happen with Marner. They couldn’t replace Kadri. They have no hope in hell of replacing Marner.

Vegas won the Cup and half their team is gone now. They haven’t won it in years. They’re contenders but they aren’t the Florida Panthers.[/quote]
Dont need to replace marner….they need to find someone who performs in the playoffs when it counts. Someone who shows up in Games 5- 7….they already have no shows like Matthews and JT sometimes….they couldnt keep another $13m plus no show.
They wont replace his 90 – 100pts in the reg season, although they could come close. But they need better bang for their $13m+ in playoff games 5 – 7.
Also, because they overpaid matthews and marner….and kadri was always suspended in the playoffs, they had to use his cap elsewhere. So they traded out his 44 – 60pts for a 50pt Dman and a 42 point 3rd line center….both of which were needed.

[Fakepartofme]

Just like you couldn’t wait for Colorado to realize Kadri takes too many suspensions and will never win a Cup in Colorado.

[/quote]
Are you gonna do the same for Bozak as well?
Kadri and bozak werent part of the core….yes Kadri was a 2nd line center but he was behind guys like McK, Makar, Toews, Rant, Lehkonen, landeskog…maybe even nicbushkin.

Neither were missing pieces to a leafs cup run.
So enough with this BS.
Vegas has already won a cup, and prior to Marner signing, already had a great team. Marner may win a cup on vegas…..we’ll see. But vegas already has a great team

<iframe title=”Rielly shoves Point into boards, Stamkos fights Matthews [ENTIRE SEQUENCE] 2022 – 2023 Playoffs” width=”1360″ height=”765″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/z3Z03uKPiVw?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1&#8243; frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share” referrerpolicy=”strict-origin-when-cross-origin” allowfullscreen=”” id=”youtube-player-z3Z03uKPiVw” data-gtm-yt-inspected-8=”true”></iframe>

Full video.

You can see Marner tie up a guy for a brief moment when it’s pushing and shoving but the minute it gets nasty and punches start getting tossed and Tampa goes full dog pile on the Leafs. At this point Marner shits his pants, and decides to let his guy go and then his next move is to complain to the linesman.

He is the furthest thing from Doug Gilmour you will see in those moments over the past 9 years – what you saw here is who he is.[/quote]

Thanks for the vid.
Ya marner was never ever compared to Gilmour, so not sure where that came up…UG?
Thats a foolish thing to say.
But in the vid, he ties up man, things break off and teams are about to go back to the benches, then 4 fights break out….but there isnt a 5th person involved for marner to grab….the 5th lightning is off to the side. Those fights subside and surgachev and marner get into and Schenn jumps in. Marner’s not fighter…never was. Could he have been a little more involved there, sure. Its not like he did nothing, like the out of context still was trying to show.

Anywho, marner is gone, the leafs will miss him during the reg season and the first 4 games of a playoff round…saying otherwise is kinda foolish imo.
But the leafs never made it past the 2nd round with him, matthews, nylander and JT. Time for a change. Saying the leafs will die without him is also kinda foolish imo.
Will things be worse, better? Dunno, we’ll see. Gotta wait 10 months to see how they play in the playoffs

And it may even take more than one off season to improve the overall line up.

[Fakepartofme]

Who gives a rats ass? Marner is a wimp, Gilmour was not. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a flat out lunatic. They aren’t even close to being the same player.

As for Thrun exactly, if he clears waivers he’ll be a no cap hit RFA d man playing for the Marlies, this year is likely nothing more than seeing how he’ll do in their system before they decide if they’re even going to resign him.[/quote]

Im not saying marner is similar to gilmour or vice versa. Ive never thought that.
Just saying that the pic may be out of context. I recall one similar pic floating around HB that looked like marner was doing nothing in scrum, but in the full video it shows that he actually did do something.
I cant remember if this is the one or not.

[Fakepartofme]

Flip Gilmour for Marner in that pic and I have a pretty good feeling Doug wouldn’t just be standing there lol[/quote]

I agree.
But do we have the full video of what happened? Taking a still photo out of video can certainly change the context.
I seem to recall this when it occurred, the still looks bad, but the video isnt as bad cause I think he gets involved either earlier or later.
Or I could be wrong and thinking of something else.

[Fakepartofme]

So the leafs unloaded a player they werent using and who wasnt effective and got a young dman in return while not retaining any cap and gaining some cap space.

But Tre is destroying the team?

oh boy.

The young dman may not turn out to be anything…..but if he ends up and effective marlie…thats fine.

[Fakepartofme]

Nice trade. Reaves out and a young dman in
Cap hit only a $1

[Fakepartofme]

Yes, you’re right, all those superstar 100 point free agents are just lining up to sign with the Leafs on July 9th.

And if that doesn’t work, they got a lot of elite prospects and 1st round picks ready to dominate the league or to trade for more help.

The Florida Panthers are absolutely fucked and shaking in their boots thinking about the revenge of the Leafs.[/quote]

Im all for criticizing the leafs……when needed…which has been a lot of over the past 20 – 50 years. But my gawd, your level of whining is astonishing.
Become a knights fan, and go fill their boards with your crap.

[Fakepartofme]

Well the Jays lost one game…back in the shitter they go.

Vlad is absolutely garbage at baserunning and sliding….$35m…hasnt even hit 15hrs….what a joke.

[Fakepartofme]

Yeah, for sure, but he was also hurt all of last year.

The Marner Saga is over thankfully, and we can move on.[/quote]

What was Matthews reason the previous years?
Marner isnt solely responsible for the leafs failings, not at all. He simply had to go due to cap and that they have too many similarly soft players making over $10m
We already overpaid matthews (twice) and couldnt afford to overpay marner again.

Marner will be missed in the reg season and games 1-4 in the playoffs for sure, specially once matthews goes down again for another injury.
But it was time for a change.
Hopefully the 2nd/3rd/4th liners we replaced him with, improve our depth and depth scoring.

In 2015, they did it twice apparently.
They’ll lose soon enough, but the key will be to not lose multiple games in a row
