How is it gonna be a massive roster overhaul when there not a lot of spots need filling from UFA

When Robertson, Benoit, Dewar, Liligren etc are extended this is the team with its holes

Knies-Matthews-Marner
Robertson-JT-Nylander
?-Kampf-Jarnkrok
Holmberg-Dewar-McMann

Rielly-?
McCabe-?
Benoit-Liligren

Woll
?

That dont seem like a massive overhaul. And all these young guys have earned their respected spots. Its basically many of the Vacant spots have filled themselves

An offseason of

Foegele, Roy, Demelo, and Stolarz would be a nice piece of work by Brad


I like the idea of acquiring Tolvanen, thoughts on trade cost and how much he gets?

He is a key part of SEA core its gonna cost a tonne if they ever went sure lets move.

Would have been a nice waiver claim but sadly we to low at time lul


But this summer has a lot of good Middle 6 candidates

Foegele, Heinen, Amadio, etc.

But basically Leafs have 2 options for next summer

1. They can bring an expensive wing at the cost of what Dman they can add or 2. Add 2 nice Dman but are limited to around a 2.5-3m middle 6 forward and 1.5m backup goalie

Yeah, I think a cheap winger is the way to go. Leafs still need another NHL behind Matthews, Tavares. Even if a guy like Domi at 3.25m
But as you suggest, might only leaves cap for a couple second tier UFA Dmen.

I disagree
Tolvanen makes sense for them to move considering their roster, especially since they will have to pay a pretty penny to Beniers and Daccord is gonna get a hefty pay day too.

Beniers has not had a great season so wont get a significant raise. They have little to worry about for Tolvanen as they got 22m in cap and Daccord aint up till 2025

If SEA wants to make a move they will buyout or move Burakovsky

I can see Seattle giving their franchise guy the same deal Cozens got.

Or just bridge him till he actually earns it. Cozens had 31 goals when he signed that deal

SEA should not begiving him 7m rn when hes got 28 points and 10 goals. A Chytil deal's better for him especially with his drop of play this season

Either way they got the space to sign Tolvanen to 6.5m and be fine

More likely just resting for the start tomorrow. If he was backing up he'd still need to go through the prep.

You know, I'd be interested in giving Brodie 1 more year at a lower aav to play a lesser role on the assumption that he hasn't just forgotten how to play, but I can't help but think Keefe will continue to use him as a security blanket and that it would be better to move on as a result. Even if I do think he rebounds a bit

I'm done with him now. Offense dies on his stick and defense has become Holl level of concern. Unless its league min to sit in the pressbox move on

He's got the highest XGA/60 on the team's defense at 3.65 rn

Leafs be getting into playoff form it seems.....

But hey Marner's leverage is growing in every game he's not playing rn. Look how you guys are without me 13m pls

Maybe its time for a shakeup to wake em up. Maybe a HS of Matthews would do the trick. Worked when Rielly got suspended maybe its time for something less extreme but still eye opening
