Not expecting much from the Leafs this weekend. Sure, they might do something with the bottom 6, but nothing spectacular. Hopefully, they can get a team to bite on Marner’s rights, so we actually get a return on this wanker. JT’s signing is OK, although I was hoping that they could have acquired a good defensive Centre, with a 20 goal pedigree that could have pushed JT to the 3rd Centre position. Maybe it’s too soon to tell, but there is a hole that needs filling at the 3C position. I imagine when Marner walks, they’ll look at someone like Ehlers to play in the top 6. I was hoping for Boezer but the price may be too high.
The Habs deal with Dobson is a steal. The Habs are on the move up the standings. When you get the best player in the trade, you usually win. The Habs have a good young core in place and with Dobson in the fold, their defense is as good as the Leafs. Leafs window is only open for a couple of more years, with Ottawa, Montreal and Detroit making their move in the Atlantic.
I’ll be glad when this soap opera ends. I’d like to see Treliving be more proactive. Only a few days left to make a mark. Marner…..good riddance.
If we could get fat bastard 27 to hit a few more homers, the team would be better off. He’s on a 25 home run pace season. For the scratch that they’re paying this guy, it’s a bigger waste than his waste-line.
You are more tolerant than me.
I wanted them all (rielly matthews marner nylander tavares) out, get some picks and started the F over. I don’t think you can afford to have any of them making 8 figures and ice a winning team.Oh, believe me, I want Rielly gone as well. Tavares doesn’t impress me much either. Both are soft and both don’t show up when it counts. The only one that I disagree with is Matthews. The guy has multiple Rocket Richard trophies, plays a 200 foot game, plus wins faceoffs. If he indeed played hurt all year, he did well to get the goals that he got. I noticed that there was no zip on his shots, this year, but with proper rest and therapy, he’ll probably hit 50 next year, regardless who he’s playing with. I’d like to see Brock Boeser on his wing and see where that goes. The rest can pack up and take their dog and pony show to the great unknown of Utah or Minnesota.
When was Nylander nominated for the Selke, faced 1st line competition 5v5 and scored at a 100 point per 82 game pace?
Oh right, never.
Did Nylander score a GWG and have a primary assist on a GWG vs Florida?
OK, let’s discuss this. Has Marner ever scored 40 goals? Has Marner won any hardware in the NHL, like Matthews? So why is Marner wanting Matthews money and millions more than Nylander? I know the Cap is going up, but we heard this before, then Covid hit? Did Marner take a hometown discount back then? No. He squeezed every dollar out of the Leafs and he’s doing it again. On the primary assist in Game 6, vs Florida, that little shovel pass wasn’t a spectacular play. He was trying to not get hit and just chipped it straight towards Matthews. That goal was a soft goal and shouldn’t have went in. On Willy, I’m not impressed with him either. The difference is, he’s under contract and Marner is not. If I had my druthers, I’d move both of these soft primadonna’s. At least you could shore up with cap money in free agency, plus gain some futures as well.
I agree. ABC was showing the finals a year ago. Disney has really gone down in a ball of flames throughout their cable channel subscriptions.
Also Trade Rielly for what ev and sign Ekblad for rough the same $$
This I agree with. He’s the weak link and needs to be exorcised. Get back to 3LD and 3RD. Ekblad fits the 2D hole much nicer than having OEL playing the right side as a lefty. Seems like Treliving is procrastinating right now.
Kraken get Marchment for a 3rd and 4th.
As usual, the Leafs are late to the last supper. Instead of being proactive, they go to an early summer vacation. They better be trying to get something for Marner’s rights or they’re brain dead!
I’m done with the old site. My last ban was the last straw. Criticizing Connor Bedard for not being in the same class as Ovi and Crosby got me a 1 month ban. C’est la vie!
Marner and his mercenary attitude won’t be missed. He’s a manipulating little b!tch! Good riddance. Get players that want to win here. Tavares should not see more than $5M per season on a 2 year deal. Get a good 2C that is defensively sound.
Not sold on McMann. Should be traded for assets. The Marner money should get you two top 6 wingers. Boeser and Ehlers? Shoring up the 3rd pairing on RD is also important. Whatever they can get in exchange for Rielly, they should do so.
the NHL doesn’t doesn’t care about this. It’s moot point as the NHL will not fix this.
It’s a shame. It’s not just the Canadian teams that suffer, but the Rangers, Isles, Devils, etc, play in Blue, overtaxed states. Bettman is a clown, to allow this to continue. He’d rather do fellatio on the new bidder for the Atlanta Stars and Bars, than fix this inequity and keep another Canadian franchise from gaining entry into the NHL. He needs to leave now!
The Division of Death, the Atlantic, is the toughest division in hockey. Even the bottom-feeder teams are tough outs. 5 teams got in and all 5 played hard. It’s why it’s so hard to get to the finals, if you’re in the Atlantic. Leafs still have an opportunity to get there, but only about 2 years to achieve it. Montreal, Ottawa, Detroit and even Buffalo are improved and could get in next year. Tampa, Toronto and Florida are still the class, but not for long. Time to get the draft and free agency dealt with and see where the Leafs are positioned at the end of the 25-26 season.
