The only thing I hope is that maybe this was a "learn to not suck in the defensive zone first" and then branch out with more puck possession moving forward. That just really seems like a hard argument to believe when we are about to watch one of our best puck possession players walk for free.

6-2.......the Leafs were the second best team in the Eastern Conference. Canes being outscored 16-4 in the series. The Leafs had their bad games in Game 5/7 and finished the series getting outscored 26-17

Easton Cowan 0G 2A in his opening game against Moncton in the Memorial Cup. He sets up the OT winner with a really nice offensive move.

McCabe has an extension that kicks in next year, Woll has an extension that kicks in next year. Matthews (13.25), Nylander (11.4), Domi (3.75), Kampf (2.4), Jarnkrok (2.1), Laughton (1.5), McMann (1.35) Rielly (7.5), McCabe (4.513), Tanev (4.5), Carlo (3.485), OEL (3.5), Benoit (1.35), Myers...

I think going without a President seems fine. I think President makes sense when you have a mentor GM and that's not what we have right now with Treliving. When asked about whether this was a results decisions Pelley gave kind of an odd "I don't deal in hypotheticals" answer that makes me...

I have a hard time seeing Florida let Ekblad AND Bennett walk in free agency. Nate Schmidt? He had a decent rebound season this year and would be a cheaper option for a guy with a bit of a mixed offensive game. Man this is really a bad year to have to fill Marner/Tavares sized holes. I know...

We would make the ECF playing in the Metro

Yeah Nylander was at it.

That drastic changes aren't always the right move. If you have a spider in your kitchen burning down the house is a bad approach. Some of the rumblings for a while is that Ed Rogers wants Masai Ujiri out in the Raptors side of things. If that's the kind of restructuring they want to get...

I think this might actually be a bad thing for the organization. I think Keith Pelley is coming in to make cuts to find "efficiencies" rather than optimizing. I'm moderately concerned for the front office direction of the Toronto sports teams. Less investment in the organizations, jacked up...

Great minds...if we really want to move on from Kampf/Jarnkrok as you said, I think they both can be traded, Jarnkrok easier than Kampf. But they also carry smaller cap hits if they are waived to the minors. Normally I'm not a fan of being ruthless but I'd rather see the team make those harsh...

Hypothetical Buyouts: Reaves - 1.35M cap hit - 26 - 450K, 450K - makes no sense because burying him in the minors has a cap hit <200K Domi - 3.75M cap hit - 2.75, 2.75, 2.75, 500K, 500K, 500K - 1M in cap savings for the next 3 years Jarnkrok - 2.1M cap hit - 1.583, 258K. ~500K savings Kampf -...

The Canes CAN'T BEAT THEM. They are the marginally less incompetent Leafs. They can't do anything past the 2nd round. 2025 - 8-2 against the Caps/Devils; 0-1 against the Panthers 2024 - 6-5 against the Islanders/Rangers 2023 - 8-3 against the Islanders/Devils; 0-4 against the Panthers 2022 -...

I'm not against bringing Lorentz back, but that entire line was bad against Florida when it mattered. They provided absolutely nothing that led to real offence and eventually Florida got favourable lines against them and scored. We can't keep relying on lines of guys who put up 1-2A over 10+...

We might be veering into paying Patrick Marleau territory to get Marchand to come to Toronto but I'd sooner do that on a 1-3 year deal than sign Bennett to a 6-7 year deal only for the officials to magically view head shots to be bad all of a sudden. Agreed entirely that they need a loud leader...

That's where I couldn't agree with cw on his assessments of Marner this year. Other organizations do that stuff and move on from it. I don't blame Marner for saying no to a trade to Carolina at the deadline. I also don't blame him if he goes to Carolina on July 1st either. But I also don't...

Let's go down that list: FORWARDS Most G heading in to free agency - John Tavares (38), Ryan Donato (31), Matt Duchene (30), Mitch Marner (27), Brock Nelson (26) Most A heading in to free agency - Mitch Marner (75), Matt Duchene (52), Mikael Granlund (44), Nikolaj Ehlers (39), Patrick Kane...

I think Tavares was better than I expected him to be over the duration of his contract (playoff results aside) but I think there are two critical moments for the organization where they tried to jump start progression and it maybe backfired on the fallout. 1) Trading for Freddy Andersen in...

I think it had everything to do with contract negotiations, Tavares' pending free agency and the fact that Matthews was coming off a 69 goal season and being the teams best player. I still think they were going to give him the C before that security guard thing popped up in the offseason.
