Until/unless McDavid re-signs in Edmonton, I think Treliving and the Leafs have to be working under this notion.

Would rather have signed him because 100-point players are very difficult to find and/or obtain. But this team needed change, and Marner was one of the big pieces that have signalled that (although if it were up to me it'd have been Matthews instead of Marner). Let's see how Treliving...

Absolutely love this!!! The guy is the consummate professional. Glad to see him retiring a Leaf.

Edward Rogers is a POS who is going to sewer all Toronto sports teams.

Disappointing result. And now we can turn our sole attention to the Leafs losing Marner. Yippee.

I'd agree that shoring up the bottom six forwards would/could make a huge difference. Two lines that play with jam and wear teams down with some hard and dirty play, and every so often be considered an offensive threat. Domi and Laughton in the bottom six are good starts. Re-uniting the...

Trying to step back a bit from the hastiness of such a brutal defeat in a Game 7, I am trying to convince myself that maybe the really drastic changes we are hoping for aren't required, and instead some quick pivoting and some shrewd moves are. Primarily being such as re-signing Marner, and...

I don't know if it's an indictment of ownership, management, the fanbase, media, or a combination thereof (likely), but if the homegrown talent who was born and raised in Toronto and grew up a Leaf fan doesn't even want to be here, the team/franchise is pooched. Quite plausible that the player...

I'd personally re-sign Marner and then see if Matthews waives his NMC for a haul. I mostly say that because I've never been a huge fan of Matthews and have never been attached to him like other Leaf greats in the past like Sundin and Gilmour. I love Tavares, he's currently my second favourite...

I'm most happy and excited to know we'll see a lifelong Jay, a (super)star player to boot. He's a unicorn wanting to spend an entire career as a Blue Jay (and in Canada). He has all the runway in the world now to go down as the greatest Blue Jay of all time. I personally cannot wait to see it...

What excellent news to start off the week.

A defence that for years was lacking quality right-handed D and toughness, Treliving has done an excellent job in the last 9 months rectifying that with the Tanev signing and Carlo trade.

Sucks seeing yet another 1st being traded in a deal for a bottom six player. I know it's the price to pay if you are looking to make a go of it. I hope the team is up to task, and Treliving does what is required to make it happen.

Was going to express disappointment about the 1st being traded. But two years out in 2027, and top 10 protected? That's palatable. Lots of time to recoup a pick between now and then.

I most definitely would. Sign your franchise player at all costs.
