Thread: Let the Young Guys Play

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Let the young guys play??? Look at the veteran, some aging UFAs you signed.
I know Jet fans may not want to read this: I dunno if signing Hellebuyck to a seven year expensive contract at age 30 was wise.</div></div>

Oh that Hellebuyck contract was awful before the ink dried, think I'm the only Jets fan that thought so but yeah its brutal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Leafs have just two players on their ELCs...Knies and Robertson
25/26 hopefully the good and cost efficient, Minten, Cowan, Grebjokin?Webber are Leafs.</div></div>

They technically also have Holmberg on a pretty cheap deal along with McMann and Benoit who are on some nice reasonable extensions.

JT's also off the books so theirs money to spend anyway.

Thread: Leafs 2023 2024 Season Discussion Part 7 - Shambles

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>True. But in June 2025. The Leafs don't have any picks in first four rounds. It will be all in 24/25.</div></div>

I wonder honestly about trading down and amassing assets for both this draft and 2025

We have seen teams do it to where they trade a pick and get some for this and next draft

Thats what I feel we should do as this draft aint crazy

Our first is between 23 and 25 so yea can probs trade down get 2 mid 2nds then go from there like the Canes did.

Wtf are you talking about? Weber's contract does not affect anything. He would be on LTIR, similar to the Seabrook contract that we currently have.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Maniaked</b></div><div>Jeannot is clearly better than Jones lmao</div></div>

Yeah, 14 points in 55 games is way better than 15 points in 52 games.

He's a 15-20 point player who caught lightning in a bottle for one season and Brisboise sold the farm hoping he could catch it again.

Thread: Leafs Cup 2025

I see that you don't know who Quinton Byfield is.

Here's a hint: you have him re-signing for $950,000. We'll be giving him either a long-term deal or, more likely, a bridge deal at around $6 million, give or take half a million.

We won't be trading him unless it's in a package for Mitch Marner inasmuch as we drafted him second overall and he's the best young player that we have.

Matt Roy will get a similar amount for between 4 and 6 seasons.

DAL, EDM, TOR would all make better offers than this. Plenty of other competitive teams would too. Pesce is good enough to be a 2RD on most any playoff team.

Thread: Marner

Dallas doesn’t need Marner

Robertson/ hintz/ seguin/ Benn/ marchment/ Stankoven/ bourqe/ Johnston their whole top 9 is basically filled they won’t be paying 9 mill for another forward at the cost of their defence.

Thread: get reilly a partner and a proper second pair guy

I dont mind your thinking Id just rather have Demelo- Matt Roy (and we dont have to pay anything for him) and 1 of Chatfield, Deshardians( From EDM, IDK how to spell that last name) or Hakappaa. in that order in pairs. Trade Lilly

Marner doesn’t waive for Minnesota, don’t think they have the cap anyway. Stream of preposterous Marner trades continues 💪

Don’t think the Leafs would sign Binnington to that deal if he were a FA; absolutely no chance they give up any one of those assets for him. All three is just preposterous

The Jets aren't in a position to be able to spend that many assets for one year of a player that doesn't fill a need.

Thread: If we move marner

Devils probably have zero interest. We have other pressing needs…and it’s “more of the same” as Fitzy has often discussed. We need a veteran dman, a goalie, 3C, maybe a couple 4th liners.

Thread: If we move marner

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Why does Marner waive to Devils.....who may not have the cap for the trade anyways.</div></div>

We don’t. There’s no room for another big money forward on the devils, there are four already. That’s an expensive price to pay for a one year rental who has a history of being difficult on contract negotiations. That’s not a problem id like the devils to inherit. They have to extend both Luke Hughes and Simon Nemec in the next 26 months. There’s no room to fit Mitch Marner in there too.

Thread: Does these work

I know that some Leafs fans are down on Mitch Marner, as if he's the sole problem, but not even the worst Toronto homer thinks that he should take a $1.65 million -- <strong>million</strong>! -- pay cut.

Thread: Marner yes or no

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fil97</b></div><div>I said that if I was the leafs GM I wouldn't trade him. I never said pit is the only home for him. this are not scraps lol

again a 1st and a good prospect is what the pens got for guentzel, no reason at all to believe that the leafs will get more from any team.

oh and Marner would definitely move his NMC for pit and to play with Sid</div></div>

These are definitely scraps 😂. Good prospects🤯, these aren’t even some of your top prospects and you have one of the worst prospect pools in the league. Rakell holds negative value (cap hit) and a late 1st in a weak draft just adds up to a pathetic offer.
Agree to disagree on Marner waiving for Pitt; all players in the league respect Sid (many grew up idolizing him) but team is not competitive (even with him).
Zero chance this happens
