Thread: That perfect team News flash always haters

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>I hope the leafs can get rid of him in the off-season. He is a ghost in the playoffs 86games 5goals 17assists.</div></div>

As written he is more of a defensively responsible third liner. For his price, he is a good contract that being said, he is also replaceable. I don't view him as a necessary playoff piece at all. He can chip with the odd chip in as depth but that's it. Considering he can be replaced, getting assets for him could be a good idea. His main strength is the PK, but in April, we had some very strong stretches with a very solid PK and he was injured more proving he can replaced.

Thread: What we learned about the Leafs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>JT was getting roughed up by Tkachuk and Montour and Benoit comes to cover his back, a scrum breaks out. Than you see off to the side JT fixing his helmet well his team is out numbered in the scrum. JT is the perfect example of the worst captain in the league. JT= no emotion, no backing teammates. Is this a guy that you follow into the playoff battle, the answer is no.</div></div>

Couldn't agree more, I have never been more embarrassed than seeing the captain not having any balls to set the tone. Softest captain in the league

Thread: Leafs next year synopsis during English class

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>As a GM why are you giving a 3rd pairing guy more than a top pairing? I see this all the time how Bush gets less money than guys below him and get less ice-time. How does that make sense?</div></div>

I mentioned in the synopsis that the remaining cap can be used on the boosh deal (I don't blame you for not reading it). Also Edmundson probably needs less to stay around, so if anything you can just swap their deals for one another to solve the issue.

Pretty obvious that Kampf wouldn't have a poor team with cap on his trade list.

Thread: JT waives different idea to trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FoxYou727</b></div><div>You knew that was going to happen though, players decline it happens. He is the captain and is living a childhood dream he is NEVER going to waive. Only scenario in which I see he does if Toronto fans give him the treatment our fanbase did in his first game back. Now I really really really do hope the leafs not only trade him but also PAY to dump him.</div></div>

This is the problem with this site is people are not realistic because they have their own team or dislike for certain players or teams .
He has to be realistic and told to understand in no way shape or form do we plan to extend him after his contract up unless he takes the Gio 800k special to REALLY prove he wants to play and WIN here!

Thread: Upgrades

Truly … not good 🤦🏻.
Marner isn’t waiving, but you’re free to post whatever you want - even pointless fantasy that wastes everyone’s time. Avs and Vegas just won cups without stud 1A goalies; no chance Leafs make that deal.

Thread: Just Imagine

O’Rielly doesn’t change anything. He doesn’t affect the goaltending and doesn’t address the need of a top 4 right handed shot defender. The $4.5M was better spent elsewhere, especially for a guy that didn’t wanna play there in the first place

Thread: Treliving Puts His Stamp On The Team

You really think Marner waives for Sens? Sens don't have the for Marner anyway, and why would they do it for one year of Marner.
I'm doubting Reilly waives either.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>Idk if Stamkos likes the taxes in Toronto. If he doesn't sign in TB, l wouldn't be surprised he signs in Florida.</div></div>

Stamkos almost came to TOR when he was a FA last time but they scared him with that big corporate meeting

10 or 10.5m x 7 years was the offer I believe

He might come but TOR would be dumb to be investing that kind of money in another forward

They need to improve their defense

Thread: Leafs get Montour v2

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>What makes you think he worth that much? He had one good season that doubled his 2nd best in point production. He has fallen back to his regular production this season after a late start do to injury.

I don't think he is worth it, but I also think that if he going to get 7 million at Toronto he might rather take like 5-6 at Florida. He is either going to be overpaid or get bargain AAV at Florida because no income tax and the beach.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>If the league truly wanted to even the playing field they would make the cap hit after taxes, they would have to adjust the overall cap accordingly. This would eliminate the big advantage Florida and other low tax states have.</div></div>

That’s one option or do away with the ridiculous hard cap. Florida fan base is 1/10 to 1/20 of the Leafs fanbase. Team cap should be (partially) tied to revenue generated. Just obscene and perverse that Florida / Tampa enjoy the benefits of revenue generated by bigger teams like Leafs, Rangers, Habs (revenue sharing, tv deal) and are also able to acquire more high end players b/c of local tax breaks. But this is Bettman’s NHl

Thread: Is this a cup contender

Dude - ask a ridiculous question…25-50% of fans on here are Leaf fans and the rest have a hate on for everything Leaf related - hard to get objective answer on this site 😂. But we are a cup contender and will be as long as Matthews, Marner & Willy are in their prime. But this roster isn’t close to what it will be in 2 years

Thread: Is this a cup contender

All of those RFA signings are underpaid for 25/26.
No thanks to that much term for Tavares, Domi, McCabe, Chychrun. Domi signs for more.
No thanks to DeSmith.
No Cowan or Minten? Or maybe Niemela and Hildeby.

That's the least of the problems. Minten, Cowan and Kokkenen shouldn't be on the team. Never mind Matt Murray. Kemph isn't on LTIR. A 20 man roster?

Too many non value long term contracts. Why does Marner waive in his last contract year to play without a centre?

You really think Kampf has San Jose, (or Ducks, Coyotes, Hawks, CBJ) on his trade list?

I don't understand why CHI fans keep complaining about adding players, you need bodies , hello , it is a very low risk trade if he does not perform the pick lowers , seriously get over yourselves .

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>I'm confused, so Andersson and a 6th for Marner, JT, Jarnkrok and a 5th?</div></div>

Huberdeau and his contract is so bad.....for seven full years. Kadri will be 34 in October and has five full seasons. Negative contracts
I'd take Andersson and 20m in cap for Marner, JT, and Jarnkrok. But c'mon don't you think it was a ridiculous proposal in the first place?

I don't think the Leafs can afford Samsonov next season. IMO some team is going to offer him kinda of a one year "show me" contract....at about 3m, and he's going to be great value.
Devils shouldn't giving up assets for Markstrom, but should sign Samsonov.

Thread: Is it possible to sign Roy and Pesce

The bigger question is should the Leafs be signing long term players in their thirties (think Brodie and Tavares).
Pesce isn't that special at anywhere near 6.5m as proposed.
