What are the 3 most likely places you think Timo Meier will end up? I think:
1. Sharks
2. Devils
3. Islanders

LEAFS


Would they have enough cap? I guess they could get rid of Kerfoot.

They'd make it work. Meier is one of the few players I'd be happy if the Leafs ended up overpaying.

Fun fact about last night’s game vs Vancouver:

If Vancouver stopped shooting after the first period, THEY WOULD’VE STILL OUT SHOT US BY 7

In a sense Meier would be fun but then u got a dilemma for 2023 as lets be honest if u extend Meier, Nylander gets traded so in the end your moving on from potential Knies in a giant package for 2-3months of a big 5. And yea Nylander could get u a nice package back even with a year left but still feels weird.

To me pulling a Colorado feels more of the right move

Acquire a top 4 RD
Acquire 2-3 guys who can contribute in the bottom 6

Feel, yet again, leafs biggest problem come playoffs is the lack of nastiness.

You can say a lot about how tampa is built, but playofftime ( when the whistle gets suddenly lost) guys like Killorn, Perry, Maroon, Bogosian, Cernak step up.
Even Sergachev and Hedman are at least scary big.

Who answers the bell after one of those relocates Marners rib with an crosscheck that doesnt get called?

In general what killed the leafs last playoffs wasnt a lack of nastiness but taking 2 bad penalties in game 6 Tampa's coach even admitted it. Those dont happen Leafs probs beat em in 6. And as we saw Nastiness actually got em in trouble look what Simmonds and Clifford did nothing but take bad penalties being what we call Nasty. Also one could argue if they got avg goaltending could have probs ended sooner as where was JC in the end of that series 3-4 with a 3.15 gaa and a 0.897sv.

Besides u want nasty look at ZAR. Guy basically made Gudas look like his **** as when he to scared to fight him its pretty funny. Gio and Bunting no slouches either along with mentioned above Simmonds.

Toronto has hung with the best but what one could argue is their biggest weakness is a lack of depth scoring. In the Tampa series it was prevalent and this TDL there is a chance to fix that for the probs up and coming rematch

As if we looked what they got


Mikheyev = 2 empty net goals
Kampf = 2 goals
Engvall = 0 goals
Blackwell = 1 goal
Spezza = 0 goal
Kase = 0 goal
Simmonds = 0 goal
Clifford = 0 goal

5 goals

Tampa got

Hagel = 1 goal
Paul = 2 goals
Perry = 2 goals
PEB = 1 goal
Maroon = 1 goal
Colton = 3 goals

10 goals

Zach Parise would be a good fit on the leafs, if Lou would even trade him there. Can score , drive play at both ends of the ice and he’s a great forechecker. He would immediately become the leafs best bottom 6 F

San Jose, Carolina…maybe NYR

I don’t think NJD is as eager to buy at deadline as many think. If Meier is sold over the summer, Devils odds go up.

He would be up there and would be a guy to build a third line around. The issue is would Lou trade him or just extend him again.

I dont think he sees a game in the NHL, probs will be on the Eagles. As I believe their Dcore just got healthy for the first time with Byram back
