Brad guys don't need to be signed by Brad but are the type he targets

6'5 234 pounds

It's like Dubas types were undersized forwards that are skilled

Height and weight don't matter to Brad though

Libby 6'2" 210
Domi 5'9" 208
Bert 6'0" 190
Cowan 5'11" 170
Klingberg 6'3" 190
Benoit 6'3" 210
Gregor 6'0" 190

It's mostly about willingness to go to the dirty areas

Cowen was not a Brad pick that's a Wes pick

Also none of those guys be small just not Mantha big. With an opportunity rn this is the guy he's probs eyeing as to add someone like this to the third line would be a wow

As not everyone gonna be that big. And it's not just size there are other things that can make em a Brad guy such as play style

I think he's aiming for a Tkachuk like statement move...

I personally think Hanifin+Mangiapane as Mangi's a sneaky rat and Hanifin provides offence from the blue line, is 6'3" (right along with Brad's height signing), is somewhat physical and has already said it would be an honour to play in TO before they drafted Marner and Matthews

They don't have the cap for it nore the assets to do a 3 team trade for both. CGY would want one of the bigger prospects and Brad don't want them going

It's gonna be one guy or if it's two on the cheaper side

So like either Mantha or cheaper guys

I'd 100000% trade for Mangipane if he became available, that would be a very savvy pickup

The Leafs have the single absolute worst pick reserves I've ever seen for the 2025 draft. Thx Kyle DuBAD(not a typo).

If I were Treliving I'd try to target Alexandre Carrier. Could be a decennt RHD option I think.

Undersized and not what u want come playoffs

Look at the Vgk Dcore nobody 174 pounds and under 6foot

If he wants another Dman go get Hanifin but I think they shifting to forwards

Domi and Duke were electric together, though not exactly a two-way line. Buried down the lineup with mismatches, they might be deadly. Or they might cost you a game being cute. Won't know until you try!

Thats the thing to me thats a concern

Rn I think the setup they have for Domi is perfect where he is inbetween two guys who can score (Bertuzzi been hot as of late 5 goals in 3 games)

To me finding a more bottom 6 2-way guy to play with JT could really be interesting. The guy I have in mind is Mantha. Hes on WSH third line and has 18 goals playing only 13mins

Why everyone thinking Roy is available

LA in the playoff race and has a shot for third place

I know Clarke has been good but still LA trading one of their better defenders rn makes 0 sense

It would be purely for cap reasons if they decide to be buyers. Extra money for addressing Goaltending. They could very well stand pat, but given their results thus far I doubt a cup is in the cards.

LA could just trade for Ned if they need a goalie 750k if 50% ret

But at the same time Rittich and Talbot have been good as of late with one hiccup in Talbot's last 5 starts

LA to me has all the pieces they need internally or if they do make moves its gonna be so subtle or Kaliyev for similar player. Also got Arvidsson LTIR to work with

Can you guys just cut the lightning bolt crest off the old maroon jerseys and sew the leaf on? They’re very similar colors. Efficient trade deadline maneuvers.

AHL

Calgary Wranglers vs Colorado Eagles
Wranglers go up 4-0 in 1st
Eagles score 5 in a row for win in 3rd.

But at 4-3, with less than 5 min in game, Wranglers, in the lead, pulled their goalie….and give up tying goal

Colorado 5 Calgary 4

Why pull a goalie when you have one-goal lead with 4min left in the 3rd period?

I don’t understand what happened here

So you think he's coming to TOR?

I genuinely cannot come up with a single reason to even remotely justify this lmfao. Mind numbingly dumb decision

Just watched the game highlights, the tying goal was not scored on an empty net. Not exactly sure why the website has Tufte's goal listed as such, but there was definitely a goalie in the net at the time of that goal lmfao

Goaltending has been the opposite of a problem in LA

Matt Roy is kind of in the Carson Soucy position that Carson Soucy was in last year, where he’s being linked as a trade asset at the deadline despite the team he plays for being in 0 position to sell

I've already done the math and it works if Calgary retains 50% on each...

Hanifin for 1st+3rd+2 5ths
Magiapane for Jarnkrok+Robo+Timmins+Niemela

Abbruzzese+Voit+Kokonen for missing pieces

Knies-AM34-Mitch
Bert-Domi-Nylander
Mangi-JT-McMann
Holmberg-Kampf-Reaves

Rielly-Libby
Hanifin-Lilly
Benoit-McCabe

Petey extended 8 years

11.6m AAV as well. Pretty solid extension for the Canucks
