it's awesome how this organization is bankrolled by both telecommunication monopolies in this country yet they still try to nickel and dime everything on the executive level.

Thread: 2023-2024 NHL Discussion Thread #6: The Quest for Lord Stanley's Cup

very cool series.

the entire coaching staff should be overhauled this summer. special teams down the stretch and in the playoffs were atrocious. you cannot tell me that 1/21 on the powerplay during a seven game series is acceptable for a team with matthews and nylander as shooters. there's a lot of "what ifs" from this year but those all go away if toronto can eek out like 2 or 3 goals on a man advantage and prevent 2 or 3 when they're down.

woll is the starter next year but they will need a veteran backup. bit worried he might be injury prone. not sure if samsonov is back.

bring back domi as well. maybe lyubushkin too if he accepts between 1-2 million.

marner was not good, again. it should be a topic of discussion to trade him. matthews and nylander were both less than 100% this entire series and he couldn't step up.

Thread: Name the three primary objectives for your team's off-season... go!

Toronto's off season will be entirely dependent on how the playoffs go.

If they go well (win a round!!!):
1) Acquire a top 2/4 RHD, through either free agency or trade.

2) Acquire a middle six centre, preferably through free agency.

3) Deal with the Marner extension early. Waiting until mid-season to sign Nylander likely cost the Leafs an extra 1-1.5 million in cap space. If he doesn't want to sign in the offseason, offer him out.

If they don't go well:
1) New coach. Ideally no one on the bench right now should be back.

2) Acquire a top 2/4 RHD, through either free agency or trade.

3) Make a major move regarding the top players, which would probably be dealing Marner.

Thread: San Jose Sharks signed Collin Graf (3 Years / $1,283,333 AAV)

He probably chose San Jose because he'll slot into the top six immediately, whereas anywhere else he'd be either on the fourth line or working up from the AHL.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFanForSomeReason</b></div><div>Am I forgetting some people? Like Liljegren played one game down there I think and McMann had a cup of coffee... don't recall any other current Leafs playing for them.</div></div>

Only four players who played for the Growlers have (or do) play in the NHL: McMann, Liljegren, Brazeau (Boston) and Johnstone (Pittsburgh). ECHL to NHL is very difficult but it's a worthwhile organization investment.

Also this had nothing do with the revenue or travel for the team, the owner was terrible. There's still hope that under a new owner they could be reinstated.

Newfoundland Growlers folded.

The guy who owned them also owned the Trois-Rivieres Lions and both were about to go bankrupt. AFIAK the owner bailed out Trois-Rivieres but let the Growlers cease operations. Sucks for Newfoundland that they got shafted.

Thread: Canada OG roster

Marchand will be dust in 2026. Nugent-Hopkins and Hyman only make it if they keep doing well.

Right now the locks for Team Canada are: McDavid, Crosby, MacKinnon, Makar, Pietrangelo, Crosby, Point, Stone, Toews, Marner, Morrissey. Everyone else will be determined based on performance closer to the Olympics.

Wilson got 6 games for the high stick.

Think if it were anyone else it'd be 2 or 3 at most, but it looks like the DOPS might actually be putting more weight on "repeat offender".

one game sample but matthews and domi have been looking really good tonight - both have 4 point games

hopefully they keep them together and run marner on a separate line.

He's good at producing on the third line, and is going to be less than 2 million AAV. 6th highest on the team for PTS/60.

I don't think Cowan/Minten are fully ready and shouldn't be relied upon to be ready.

Sorry you can't whine about other bad ACGMs while also sending away Nick Robertson for nothing.

Thread: Early Look with blanks

I think everyone but Liljegren is in the ballpark of what they'd earn. For Lily, I think the years are going to be the major factor instead of the cap hit. He's shown at times he's capable of being a top 4 guy but he's also had massive gaffs. Either 2 years at or under 3 million, or 4-5 years around 3.5-4 would be a reasonable contract. 3 years will walk him to UFA.

<a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/4993719">I made an ACGM yesterday</a> which outlined what I believe the priorities are for the Leafs this offseason and some players I think they could get. I had to move Kampf in order to round out the depth which shows you how bad that contract is.
