<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rodzikhockey93</b></div><div>Leafs like it. Keeps marner as an RFA on his next term. Marner gets a bigger contract at prime age.</div></div>

I agree! It's not the term that the Leafs would want nor the dollars that Marner is gunning for, but it works for both sides in the short term. It will also give Dubas &amp; team more time to extend there d-core which as it stands (minus Rielly) will all need new contracts next year.

Side Question: The Leafs still need to reinforce there goaltending tandem and now that Curtis McElhinney has surprisingly signed with Tampa, would the likes of Louis Domingue be worth going after? His numbers last year were pretty solid, and it may be advantageous for the Leafs to have a little more stability - not to mention wins (I'm looking at you Sparks) to back up Anderson.

Thread: surprise
Aside from the Detriot proposal, I don't mind these trades because they address the Leafs pressing needs right now with being too soft on the backend. I mean for all the talk of Igor Ozhiganov being the young version of Pollak he sure doesn't use his body to lay out opposing players. Case in point he should have destroyed Valtteri Filppula cutting through the d-men in the 4-0 loss last Saturday. That would have made a hard statement to the Islanders and possibly changed the rhythm of the game in the Leafs favour.

Gudas &amp; Lovejoy are not afraid to grind away in their own zone - which is needed against the likes of Boston and they have manageable contracts. A fresh start on a new team that is not dwindling in the standings can always give a player that added edge to play better.

Thread: Lets say Marner at 10 and Matthews at 12
Good posting! As much as I hate to see Connor Brown move to another team, it makes fiscal sense for the Leafs to move out a larger contract to fit in multiple players with smaller contracts. And ultimately the Leafs may play it safe to wait another year to go after an elite defenceman (if available) until Patrick Marleau's current contract is off the books. I say current because I could see him signing a small term, small-cap hit deal to stay with the Leafs should they get closer to cup contention. Call me bias I like what Marleau does as a player for the team and the game. Also, I love the fact that you are keeping the fourth line intact the way that it currently is. More and more I see that line continue to gel together well so that Bab's can stop tinkering. It's also useful to have two guys on the same line who are natural centre's.
