Participantha you had to go remove a bunch of goals so you didnt look too positive. what a loser lol
You made a good point. I’m always reconsidering and refining the numbers. It’s not about being “too positive” and more about being as realistic and accurate as possible.
Make your own predictions instead about bitching about mine.
Let me guess for you. 350 goals for, 100 against, 82-0, 16 straight playoff wins, 5 straight Cups.

ParticipantFYI, still a pooptonne of tickets available for tonight’s game.
Still no bargains, but start checking around 3 pm.
I’m sure a lot of people will refinance their home to afford it closer to puck drop.

ParticipantThe best offseason move was and why?
John Tavares – 74 games, 30 goals, 34 assists, 36 points
years.math doesnt math here. but 64 points for 4 mil is a great deal.
I also like that you have 279 total goals, which is 11 more than they scored last season.
Not math, just a typo. Fixed it. 279 too many goals for this team, fixed that too.
4 million to do fuck all in the playoffs like he did vs. Florida and be a giant defensive liability.

ParticipantThe solution is this:
Joshua | Matthews | Nylander
Knies | Tavares | Domi
McMann | Roy | Maccelli
Lorentz | Jarnkrok | RobertsonUnholy_Goalie
ParticipantThat 3rd line looks just brutal under Berube’s style of hockey, a couple of midgets with a big winger on a recovery season. Here’s hoping Robertson keeps scoring since his linemates will pass to him basically non stop very predictably *shakes head*
As for Cowan, it’s the right call. If all he will be for the leafs is a 12/13th type guy put him on the Marlies. Only make him a leaf if he’s a full time top 12 guy at the VERY bare minimum.
Absolutely don’t like this line-up at all.
1st line isn’t dangerous enough. 2nd line is a defensive mess. 3rd line is small, not tough or strong enough to be a shut down line. Roy is getting paid A LOT to be a 4th liner when he was supposed to be the new shut down 3C.
When Laughton returns, Quillan or Blais go down and one of Robertson or Jarnkrok goes to the press box. Cowan belongs with the Marlies for now.

ParticipantI think once Laughton comes back, Cowan will be brought up. Berube really liked that 4th line.
Unless someone who is filling in performs well in the interim.That or Treliving is trying to sell some players and is essentially forcing his coach to play them.
Now that the dust has settled, here is Toronto’s projected cap-compliant roster to start 2025-26:
Knies – Matthews – Maccelli
McMann – Tavares – Nylander
Joshua – Domi – Robertson
Lorentz – Roy – Järnkrok
Extras: Quillan, Blais
IR: LaughtonRielly – Carlo
McCabe – Tanev
Ekman-Larsson – Benoit
Extra: MyersStolarz
Primeau
Non-roster: WollUnholy_Goalie
ParticipantI think we’ll see Cowan in first 5 or 6 games. Berube is going to want to try different guys and different combos before Laughton comes back.
He’s already a Marlie. I doubt we see him until Laughton is back. Treliving sent him down as soon as he practiced in a grey jersey.
The Leafs already had too many forwards, now they added Sammy Blais. Cowan is way down the list.
The Leafs still need another RHD and need a back-up because without Woll, the Leafs are one very likely Stolarz injury away from missing the playoffs.

ParticipantPrediction thread!
Unholy_Goalie
Participantsince the Leafs claimed him, he needs to be on the roster for x amount of days before he can be sent down to the Marlies.
Just seems weird to pluck a guy like that off waivers and expect him to be a full time player.
He played 0 games last year and 53 pretty bad games the year before. Doesn’t seem like much of an improvement in terms of a full time player.
In terms of 4th liners, he seems more like Pezzetta than the other 4th liners they have.
