I know it's news to you, but third lines in this league need to contribute offensively. Our third line is a complete wasteland when it comes to offense. We're gonna get NOTHING from it.

So, it's all on the boys with the bg tickets. None of whom go hard to the net. A powerplay that had better click.

Dont worry about the powerplay, keefe and the boys wont change a thing....gonna be great.

Longest winless drought of ALL teams in ALL major sports leagues.

Yeah, the Leafs are finally number 1!

I don't subscribe to the idea that you need a true top 6 winger for Marner/Matthews.

Ritchie would be great to slot in there. Bunting should get a shot too.

The top line LWer needs to be able to retrieve the puck here and there and go to the net with their stick on the ice. That's it, Marner/Matthews can do the rest.

I don't mean they need to go out and get Ovechkin, just someone that can replace what Hyman brought to the top line.. I don't think Bunting can play that style. Right now, only option may be Mikheyev. Maybe they bring in Bertuzzi?

All of which were won 60 years ago...when they had a 1 in 6 chance of winning it.



Such a pathetic franchise.

5 more years for Ovi eh?
crazy.
Mickey cant play hyman's style....at all.
From what I've been reading about Bunting...in his long NHL tenure, he goes to the corners, front of the net and is pesky. Sounds like le hyman.

Bunting plays hard an scores around the net. Pretty sure his style suits them and he will get the first opportunity for it.

I saw somewhere on the innerwebs that the Leafs signed the most UFAs yesterday.

Maybe the Guardians will have better luck.

I do wonder if they will look at someone like Jake DeBrusk or Tyler Bertuzzi.. Bunting seems better suited as the 2nd line LW.

or perhaps Richie


or Neil on the cheap for like 1M

Brandon Saad is a nice fit for the Leafs.

he just needs to sign for 3 mil.

Bunting plays hard an scores around the net. Pretty sure his style suits them and he will get the first opportunity for it.
- Santo_44

I clearly know less than you, but I'm pretty sure a guy with 26 career NHL games isn't being pegged for first crack at the top line.

If Mrazek can stay healthy and Bunting can play well with Tavares and Nylander it could work out well for the Leafs.

curious about Brennan Menell
24yo RHD

some good stats in he KHL

- joel878

my thoughts exactly.. At best, he gets the 2LW spot... It's a cheap contract that can be moved if necessary.

If you thought we were adding a top lw then I don't know what to tell you. I guess you're not paying attention? Not aware of the cap situation?
- burn

I'm not expecting a Landeskog top line LW, but someone like a Ritchie, maybe Tatar could've been added. Just someone who is a top 6 winger. I get the cap situation and hopefully there is still something in store if what Friedman is saying how they are saving 3.5mil in cap to get one down the line.

- dmnted

Ritchie would be a solid addition to the 3rd line, but still leaves a hole at 1LW.

I mean, a 3rd line of Ritchie-Kampf-Mikheyev could maybe shut some lines down
