Thread: First RND exit and Mathews

Too many good and cheap assets moving from the Kings. Keep your team together and spend an excessive cap space a good UFAs

Thread: Trade Marner Challenge

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>faulkmydzingel</b></div><div>I don’t like the Marner contract. Never have. I’ve never liked the term on the Matthews contract. But god you guys. The kid has put up awesome numbers every year. People criticize his playoff performances but he still has decent numbers.

The leafs hit a hot goaltender last year. Otherwise they were well built for playoffs. They had the best team I’ve seen since 93.

Give the kid at least 20 games to get a monkey off his back. Same goes for the whole leaf team.

Tired of rabid so called fans.</div></div>

I said that option was at end of this season.

Thread: Marner challenge

That's not a Marner challenge for the Leafs, it how the Blues could ever fit them into Marner into their cap.
Gotta think 7.5m Tarensenko has to come to the Leafs.

Forum: Armchair-GM4 hours ago

Thread: acquiring marner because why not

Actually it might be fair. Don't know how Habs pay for Suzuki big raise next year though. From the Leafs view, they would like to lose Marner's cap but not gain Hoffman's and Byron's 9m cap.

Thread: Trade Marner Challenge

IMO the Leafs most realistic "trade" is to put him on waivers, and hope some team claims him. Leafs would have 11m to spend in new found cap.
Now I don't think it will happen this season. And please don't let Dubas be the GM spending that 11m

Forum: Armchair-GM4 hours ago

Thread: Dubas and Keefe solution

Maybe Shanny should get fired. He hired Dubas and Keefe, and Babcock and Lou. Shanny and his team, negotiated the players contracts.
I believe Babcock was fired after losing badly in Pittsburg. Now I think Keefe isn't the problem. But if I'm the owners of the Leafs, I certainly would be want to want to exercise my veto power on any personnel moves this season. IMO Dubas will gone next April.

Thread: Kraken cashing in their chips

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>i think you’re super overrating beniers</div></div>

I guess the question is whether Seattle is better off having 4 years of Eichel or two high first rounders on ELCs, and 9m in cap space.

Thread: Average leafs fan thoughts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MadLin27</b></div><div>You're not wrong.

Marner and the Leafs have had their fair share out adversity, but man have they ever turned on him. Sad to see.</div></div>

Marner is in his somewhat the same situation as Eichel. No good team has the cap for him without dismantling their team in order to fit in a 11m. And poor teams with cap aren't willing to give up much cause they can spend 11m better on UFAs.
I floated the idea last summer than the Leafs would be better if Leafs exposed 11m Marner and Seattle claimed him.
Taylor Hall and Zack Hyman signed for 12m.
Would the Leafs have been better having 13.5m in cap without Marner and the signed Ritchie, and signing Hall and Hyman?

Thread: leafs need a BIG move to shake things up

I don't see the Blues doing that trade, but Leafs shouldn't make that Hawk trade.

Thread: One big trade

Blues, NTC Perron and maybe Tarensenko say no

Forum: Armchair-GM22 hours ago

Thread: Capspace

Like the thought on the Marner trade (though I doubt Hawks do it) but then why waste all those young good assets on two UFAs?

Thread: Leafs deadline

Don't know why the Leafs should traded their second best forward in last years playoffs, and the two picks also.

Forum: Armchair-GM23 hours ago

Thread: If the Oilers were perfect at the draft

If the Oilers were perfect at the draft early on, maybe they wouldn't be picking so higher in future years......No McDavid, no Draisaitl.
Why do you think Fox would have signed with the Oilers? He made it known he was going to college to be a UFA a couple years after the draft.

Thread: Parallel Universe- Hyman Signed

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomethingLeafs</b></div><div>Yea "weak" considering kerfoot plays wing now smh 🤔 . Kampf is great at 3c</div></div>

Yeah maybe for now. But injuries happen so you want one goal last season to play on the second line. Sorry to it's an awful way to construct the lineup.

Forum: Armchair-GM23 hours ago

Thread: Maybe

So the Flames give up this season but trading two regulars away, just to obtained an injured Eichel. Then to also add three futures, including 2022 lottery pick.

Forum: Armchair-GM24 hours ago

Thread: Parallel Universe- Hyman Signed

So, now it's a 20 man roster, just unworkable. And really weak at centre without Kerfoot.

Thread: Sabres next year

I doubt if San Jose trades in effect two first, two seconds and takes all that Eichel cap. Keep those young players and spend 10m on UFAs in the offs season.

Thread: In the mix

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RClay321</b></div><div>This would kill the Blues for this season so I don't see them making a move for Eichel</div></div>

You're right. Giving up two starters, for a guy who may not play this season, and in effect adding two first rounders.....a massive overpay. Doubt if Taresenko M NTC includes Buffalo

Forum: Armchair-GMSat at 6:14 pm

Thread: The Morgan problem

Really, a absolutely ridiculous scenario. Massive overpay for the Olesiak. How to does this make the Leafs better this season? Trading two Dmen for one? It's absolutely nuts to think the Leafs, who consider themselves contenders would allow Reilly to negotatiate with another team.
And why is Reilly a problem? Teams "lose' their UFAs every season, and sign other UFAs.

Seems like the Leafs will be just giving away their only two picks....for really no or little gain at all.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>I truly think they’re Sanderson and one sniper winger away from being very dangerous. They have been having so many scoring chances just not burying them</div></div>

By your lineup posted....I was thinking a Dman and an upgrade at 3rd line centre. But I certainly think the Sens are a rapidly rising team with good young players and cap to spend in the next few years.

Who would've thought that the Sens would be buyers (so soon)?
