Florida always revamps their team, every year. Leafs ended up with Stolarz, OEL and Lorentz from Florida, last year. It’s cap management and they’re good at it. Either Bennett or Marchand won’t be back next year. Probably will let go Ekblad too. Boston went off their cliff this year, and expect Tampa to do the same, next year. Florida may also take a step back to retool. Leafs need to keep moving up the ladder and try to get first in the division again this year. Rielly, Marner, Robertson, Kampf, McMann and Holberg out should get the salary cap fixed and free agents taking their place in the lineup. Reaves on the cruise ship to Robidas Island, to enjoy the sunset of his hockey career.
LeBrun reported that Rielly is not waiving his no trade. These guys like LeBrun just don’t say stuff for $hits and giggles. They do have reputations.
We shouldn’t care about anything that the talking heads have to say. They’re part of the reason that this team can’t succeed. Treliving needs to just tell them to pound salt and do what he knows needs doing. The Leafs cannot win with Morgan Rielly. Hence, he must be moved. If he won’t go, then he can sit out the whole year or buy a new condo on Robidas Island. Ever since he got hooked up with his now wife, the figure skater, he’s now domesticated. Same goes for Marner. He’s a family man now and the team doesn’t come first. It’s why both need to be moved.
Cowan is noticeable in a good way.
He has an amazing skill set. Hounds the puck carriers. His skating is elite.
Easton Cowan scores to make it 2 -0 London. Cowan ties Mitch Marner for most points scored by a London Knights player in franchise history.
There seems to be a consensus that Morgan Rielly is the DNA that needs to be moved. Treliving needs to look at a West Coast team, cut a deal, then present the trade proposal to Rielly to drop his no movement clause. Vancouver seems logical, since it’s home and he might consider it. Maybe a second rounder coming back and the rights to Brock Boeser. Leafs can offer an 8 year for Boeser if he chooses to sign here.
OEL | Tanev
McCabe | T. Myers
Dumoulin | Carlo
Burns (if he doesn’t retire, maybe a 1 year deal if he’s a hometown guy because he’s from Barrie)Forget Burns, go for Aaron Ekblad. Weaken your divisional opponent and upgrade at RD. Rielly is the fly in the butter dish. He really needs to be gone.
The only way out is Marner resigned under $13M, Nylander traded. Rielly moved. That way the assets stay in line and the return for Nylander and Rielly are other NHL players and picks. Another top 4 RHD so OEL can play his natural Left side. Tavares to the 3rd line on the cheap and another centre with tenacity on line 2. Toews on PTO?. McMann and Robertson need a new home. Bye to Jarnkrok, Kampf, Reaves & Holmberg. We have 5 good Defensemen and 2 Good Goaltenders. A very good top line. Work it out and remake this roster with grit and hustle.
