I mean that just means they would have had to send him down the day before the break/roster freeze.

Yeah I'd mostly agree with all of this. The names I focused on are just the guys who I think would actually bring back significant assets, and if they aren't dealt by the deadline then the team really dropped the ball. I'd shop most of the names you mentioned too but if say Benoit isn't dealt...

Getting Zach Hyman out of Florida when he was a pending NCAA free agent was probably the closest.

McMann, OEL, and one of Laughton or Roy are my definite trades right now. Like you said I think McMann gets overpaid too much this offseason. I think OEL is at peak value at the moment so while he'd be tough to replace next season we likely won't be getting this seasons performance out of him...

$1.35mil AAV, zero reason for the Leafs to not offer 50% retention bringing his cap hit to just $675,000 too. He's 6th among all pending UFAs in goals this season with 19, within striking distance of two players ahead of him at 20 goals. All the players ahead of him are on playoff teams and so...

Seattle was reportedly offering Panarin 4 x $14mil... that's insane. I think this article also shows how New York's decision to let Panarin's agent have total control over this is what destroyed his trade value. To make it completely reliant on an extension being signed dropped the pool of...

You know I don't think anyone should really feel bad for the Leafs because they've clearly done themselves zero favours by sucking for large portions of the season but it's crazy how strong the Eastern conference, specifically the Atlantic, is right now. If we win tonight not only would we be in...

As far as we know, yes. That means the flip side too though: even if the Leafs finish the season with a top-5 pick they could still get bounced out and lose it if a team behind them wins the lottery.

Watching away broadcasts is always fun. Calgary guys just said that Carlo's been a real stabilizing force for the Leafs and that Myers has big offensive potential... I wish.

Well not really, only in the sense that that's been a thing here for awhile so we should be used to that. The two seasons before this Nylander and Marner were really our only two full-time righties, with Jarnkrok and Reaves in and out of the line-up for injury/performance reasons. The only other...

I really don't get their aversion to playing Benning. Not like it would really matter ultimately I guess.
