Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs 2023 2024 Offseason Discussion - Draft Day And Free Agency
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFanForSomeReason</b></div><div>One year for Bertuzzi? I mean I'll take it for sure depending on the number, but I thought he wanted term, and based on the reported ask I would've been okay giving it to him.</div></div>

I am so stoked that it's only 1 year. Doesn't interfere with Matthews / Nylander extensions, avoids committing to a guy with some unfortunate injury history, and allows us to negotiate a contract with a higher cap ceiling. This is such a huge W it's not even funny

Assuming both Matthews and Nylander get ~2 mil raises, Brodie coming off of the books accommodates for that, effectively giving us at least an extra 1 mil to negotiate with Bertuzzi

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs 2023 2024 Offseason Discussion - Now What?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Trading Matthews signals rebuild. Unless u trade him and bring in someone better there is no going for it when hes gone. Its rebuild get rid of everyone. No ROR coming back, Nylander and Marner aint here anymore, blow it up and lets start fresh

U move Nylander or Marner it signals retool k this didnt work lets try this.

Personally this offseason presents something fascinating as Leafs got a lot of cap to work with. They can bring in 2 5mill forwards even with the big 4 signed.

U can explore trades but just imagine Toronto going out and bringing Bertuzzi and trading for Konecney, Labanc, or any other 5mill available forward and adding one or two of them to this team. Above I explored something and man u dont sacrifice much but Liligren. But at the same time u can also explore a Nylander or Marner</div></div>

I get what you’re saying but I’m not sure I necessarily agree. I think with the right moves you could retool with a Matthews trade but you do have a point. If you’re trading Matthews, might as well just go all in on the rebuild.

I dont really get that impression. Everyone here loves the Leafs, and as someone that has followed this team through some very dark days, it is infuriating to see such an amazing group of stars be wasted. We haven't had cup winning depth for ages, and if we blow it with a core as incredible as we have now, it will haunt us for ages. I hate that we can't get the most out of our roster. I want to see this team succeed more than many things, and this group obviously has it. We havent gotten the support or coaching we deserve. It is infuriating.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>I think we're far better equipped to play a team that's not as deep on D, as we saw in the TBL series. Outside of maybe Forsling, Ekblad, Montour, maybe Gudas idk how they can keep up with this loaded top 9.

I also think you can now more confidently play Liljegren and maybe even Gus too if you're Keefe. As long as you keep them away from the Tkachuk-Bennett line they don't really have concerning snarl anywhere else in the lineup. Aside from Lomberg as well I guess. Makes us way more lethal on the transition game being able to more confidently deploy guys like that.

Also think we've got the edge in net, sammy's a doggggg</div></div>

They just took out BOS and are playing with house money. Let’s call a spade a spade here, TOR could barely handle a Dcore of Bogosian, Raddysh, Perbix, and Cole.

Agree to disagree all good. But I’m not taking FLA lightly

If this is truly the end for Bergeron, I am genuinely kind of sad for him and only him. The guy is world class leader, player, and role model. The league will not be the same without him. He was the only Bruin I actually liked on and off the ice despite him crushing my soul in that whole 4 - 1 choke.
