The fact you keep claiming that Marner’s departure is the only reason the Leafs missed the playoffs shows what a biased, retard you are who loves his stramwam arguments, moving of goal posts and can’t keep your Marner love even remotely hidden.
Led the playoffs in scoring – and racked up half or more of those points in 4 fucking games and did what in games 4-6 of the finals there retard? He did what he always does – shit his pants and failed.
Keep trying to cope you waste of skin, or at least do everyone a favour and go touch some grass and Shut the fuck up for a few minutes.
The team was basically exactly the same minus Marner. They had injuries last year too but Marner had 100 points and brought them to 1st in the division. You have trouble with reality. Perhaps you are not only a retard but also a schizo. Seek help immediately.
What did McDavid do vs. Florida in the final games when he lost two Cups. Oh, I guess McDavid must suck too for leading the league in playoff scoring but being on a team that lost the Cup.
Marner did what the Leafs haven’t done since 1967; went to a Cup Final and led the playoffs in scoring. Accept reality Retard Ranger.
Andrae porjected around 2mil, which is fine. Ersson may not be qualified or be depth cheap who cares.
still 3mil to put to better use.Chayka drafting 6-8 years ago is not really important in 2026, he just needs to put the right people in place. thats very much up in the air still
It absolutely is important because that’s his track record. His track record was shit and should have disqualified him from being GM. At best, he’s an assistant GM given his failure in Phoenix.
But again, like Shanahan lorded over Dubas, Chayka is probably the bitch to Sundin because Sundin is calling the shots despite having zero experience and away from the game for 17+ years.
The right people working for the Leafs is a tall order that usually goes unfilled.
Poone Jenner incoming
Did he get his Swedish citizenship?
its not always about the size, Jackson Blake and Stankoven are the same.
but swapping pylon Benoit for a puck mover makes sense. he is a 5/6, thats fine.and I like Simon Benoit but he is a net negative on the ice.
this should be a win for the rebuild crowd, get another pick in 2026
Again, bottom pair small D don’t usually work out as well as forwards because of the punishment D-men have to absorb and dish out in the playoffs. Being physically small in the NHL is far more of a negative than it ever is a positive.
A 3rd doesn’t move the needle for a rebuild. It’s a shot in the dark with Chayka’s shit draft record. They need to pile up 1st round picks for any kind of rebuild to occur.
They are also both RFAs so the “cap space” idea is out the window if these guys eat up most of the money that went out the door. And it’s doubtful they just let them walk either.
Hill still has 5 years left @6.25M cap hit.
what was the deal with Hill not playing?
Does he need to call Williams Mattar?He was hurt for half the year and sucked the other half. Torts probably got fired today because he refused to switch Hart for Hill in the Final but Hill’s numbers last year were bad.
It’s a huge contract that Vegas needs to dump so while the 1st wouldn’t be for a while, they could always try to move other pieces that are as valuable as a 1st without giving up a 1st.
Hutson is 5’9″ and he did well the this year’s playoff run with the Habs.
That only works in extremely rare circumstances. You can probably count on one hand how many 5’9″ D-men there are in the NHL and there is a very good reason for that. Hutson is only effective because he’s an offensive wizard. He makes a lot of defensive mistakes too but his offensive game usually makes up for it. But as a bottom pair D, being 5’9″ is a gift to the opposition when the games get tough.
Ersson is not in the plans im sure, AHL or not signed.
Stolarz/Hildeby/Akhtyamov are the Goalies.Woll at least had some trade value, so he goes.
Cap space means a lot when they can use to take a bad contract with a pickHildeby and Akhtyamov are completely unproven in the NHL over a full season. That’s the type of gamble that gifts the Bruins a top 5 pick with Stolarz as the only other option.
We will see if they take bad contracts for 1st round picks. If they acquire Adin Hill, they’d be killing two birds with one stone.
Benny was clutch in the playoffs, cheap and physical
More upset about him than WollnutsThat was always the problem with Benoit. He hits and fights, which you love to see, but his ability to actually prevent goals was bad and he had no offensive ability whatsoever.
But replacing him with a soft 5’9″ LHD will make teams like the Panthers and Bruins laugh when they’re crushing him into the boards on playoff dump-ins.
Woll was the best goalie the Leafs had in their system. They’re not going to make the playoffs with shit goaltending.
Fine trade, Woll didnt have much value at all, most goalies dont and with Hildeby/Akhtyamov coming…whatever.
Benoit alost zero value.Getting a 3rd for Woll would have been fine, Emil Andrae useful moreso than Benoit. the other goalie who cares just a toss in
Leafs also 5mil cap space
Terrible trade. Woll is injury prone but when he’s healthy, he’s better than Ersson who lost his job to Vladar because he’s never been a good starter. Stolarz is always hurt too and should have been the one to go. He has far less potential than Woll.
Cap space means nothing with no quality players to sign. The few UFAs out there won’t want to play on a bottom feeder like the Leafs unless they are grossly overpaid.
