Krebs Cozen and Mittelstadt are all fighting for 2 and 3C. Pageau would be fighting for the hot dogs in the press box. Sabres dont have a reason to do this

Ahhh yes, just what the sabres need, another center./s

Agreed. OP didn’t want to hear anything, but too bad. In 2 years, 3 of Thompson, mitts, Cozens and Krebs should make up out center spine for our top 9. Additionally, Savoie, Ostlund, and Kulich should be about ready for the NHL, and even if only one is, they’d likely slot in at 3 C. Sabres are about as unlikely as a team can be to be on the hunt for a 3C in 2024-2025.

Holy crap I said this is in 2025 lmao. Who tf knows what the Sabres needs will be then? What if they need Pageau cuz of an injury, or you moved Mittlestadt and Krebs for a star forward?

This is for fun and a complete guess for something in THREE YEARS. Stop being so serious lmao

startlingly bad for the leafs. Massivly downgrade at forward for a late 1st a prospect and a chance to sign a well past prime 30 year old defensive liability to a contract that will no doubt be terrible in less than a year?

You expect people too have any sort of fun on here? Oh boy.
But seriously. This site is horrible. I got off it for like a year and came back, and It's even worse. And it's always the same wanna be analysts.

"I don't want to hear anything"

Then keep your ideas in your head and don't post on Capfriendly.com. posting on the internet without wanting people to respond is an oxymoron.

No one is trading for JG Pageau

why do the leafs even consider this, you couldnt even get marner's left skate with that package

so what will the Leafs do? Lose Marner and Matthews for free? Nylander too. Or move one of them for value and then try to contend to keep Matthews?

or, you know, sign them all? Trade Marner for not bad value? There are many more options than getting ripped off and then signing a terrible contract to replace him

Ok so a pending UFA who may never play a game for you again is worth more than this? Seriously? Like seriously? The Leafs have zero leverage ☠️ i swear why are leafs fans like this

not trade their players for stupid returns

you made this trade and are blaming leaf fans for not liking it, we'll give you engvall, ovchnikov and a first for barzal

I like how you glossed over the re-signing option, or the not getting ripped off part. And yes, marner with a year left is worth more than that.
Why are islanders fans like this?

ok so someone who LITERALLY has to wait two months to leave and has zero games to be played is supposed to fetch more than this. The islanders are paying for an extra 2 months of conversing and an 8th year option. Im not talking about 1 season to go, this is literally a UFA to-be in 2 months. I swear yall have zero reading skills.

literally not a year left, thus why this says 2025. Not 24-25. jesus christ yall cant read

well at that point he'd have been signed long term, so this makes even less sense

"new york islanders 2024-25" that means that this team is for the entire year, and Marner's contract still exists that entire year, so he has one year left. Great reading skills, y'all

so Marner is guaranteed to stay? like there is no point in even making an AGM because he said he is re-signing in 3 years? Seriously? Matthews isnt even guaranteed to stay, so why is Marner?

because the leafs are going to try and keep him? Why is Huberdeau guarenteed to be a UFA in the summer of 2024? It makes no sense for him to sign a 2 year deal and he'll get a lot more term than that. Marner signing long term with the leafs is infinitely more plausible than that

buddy if you spent 4 seconds reading this AGM you would realize that this is all taking place AFTER 24-25, i just didnt have the option on here.

so in no world is Marner going to leave? really?

"Leafs lose in round 1 in 22-23, move Marner to clear cap to sign Huberdeau in hopes of a roster shakeup." Your words buddy. So either the leafs wait a year to trade marner and sign huberdeau (again, what?) or you just arnt very good at writing down what you mean

scroll to the top of the page lmao.

and lets say this was in 2024 before 24-25, why would i state 22-23 when there was also 23-24?

Ive realized youre just trying to piss me off so, nice job! youve found a way to successfully troll me

why would he? you've given no reason other that the leafs lose in the playoffs this season when he has two more under contract after and then trade him so they can sign huberdeau
