AM is staying

Mo staying

Marner is staying(unless there is a perfect trade out there for both teams)

JT stays


I could see Willy being traded to the Blues for that 10th overall pick + a good prospect. Then the leafs proceeding to put together a package for Konecny. Flyers may want to cash in on that cheap contract.


I hope Dubas stays.

I don’t care about Keefe, fire him or keep him. Wouldn’t hate Bruce coaching this team.

Murray bye bye with Woll and Sammy.

Ek is silly but I actually like the idea of Leafs being interested in Dumba.

All in all a fun season, Leafs lose in leafy fashion which sets the stage for a fun offseason.

If the Oilers lose this will be the worst final 4 in quite some time in terms of generating interest from fans.

Some random feedback:

- Marner may be the guy that goes

- I don't quite understand the desire to keep Dubas. It may be time to bring in someone with fresh blood and ideas who isn't hitched to a Core 4 wagon that can't seem to get it done.

- Muirray may stay until the TDL. Samsonov is likely gone unless he wants to sign for cheap (unlikely)

- "Fun" is purely subjective and personal. I found this season a bit of a chore. The first round they won though I felt they were outplayed by TBL for the most part. They ended up getting goalied by FLA but also didn't seem to elevate their game after getting the proverbial 1st round monkey off their back

- Definitely agree that this off-season may be a lot of fun to see how the drama all unfolds. Not sure if I'll be too pleased if the Leafs play things largely conservative and only move Willie (who I'd actually like to stay).

Dude, what is with the unhealthy obsession with me.

I literally can't even remember our exchange to the point I can begin to understand what hurt you so badly. That to me says it's really time to let it go.

Grow up and move on. 🤦

Rah Rah Steve has his nose up Dozzer's ass blah blah I didn't start the fire on green day and I'm better than everyone else here and in the worldzzz and Stee-Dot is the stupidest mother(frank)er to have ever existed because he likes the Rock and WWE/WWF and video games and such. Also, damn him to hell because God forbit he can still attract perty ladies and a drinking establishment due to his good looks, charm, and charisma.

Feel like a big hockey trade is needed, not so much unlike what Florida did with Tkachuk.

Marner for Provorov and Konecny. 👀

I'd be down with that. Would also be nice to see the Leafs recoup some 1sts somehow.

Firsts schmirsts. I don't think missing the next couple years is a massive deal, there will be plenty of runway for that to get sorted if their current window closes and plenty of high end talent still around to do it with.

Could also trade Nylander in a deal for a couple firsts, sign a UFA like Bertuzzi to replace him. Then you check both boxes and rebuild the wings entirely. That makes for a pretty significant change.

Marner has a full NMC that kicks in July 1st until he hits UFA too, everyone's too busy looking at Matthews to realize that.

I wonder which player Matthews would choose it he was told Marner or Nylander? I think that will likely go into the decision making. Of course, he might respond keep both if you want me here for more than 1 year.

It's a complex situation, but it should be interesting to see how it plays out. I suspect all 4 forwards will be back next season.

Well Dubas could sign Willy in a few months, I think the number he would be willing to accept would play some part in it.

If Nylander is on the open market, given the season and playoffs he had it would be a massive price tag.

So if Willy is on the open market, we will use the caps as a value example here.

8th overall pick, lottery protected 2024 1st and a prospect? Sign and trade or not.

Then you go and spend big on Sydney Crosby.


Could Crosby come in and win?

Some video game arm chair GMing but I wouldn’t be completely shocked to see Crosby traded within the next year. The time is now to get full value.

Sorry but you know nothing and neither do I.

But sure, act as if your hunch with absolutely no inside information is fact. Makes you look really smart.

What did McDavid and Drai do to deserve their contracts? Pasta is at 11 million and hasn't done poop. Panarin, Bobrovsky, Price...so many players who got paid their "worth" prior to playoff success. Doesn't matter Bob won 2 x vezina because you're only valuing the playoffs and he's done nothing up until last night.
- Aaron_85


Pasta signed a team-friendly 6-year extension after his first couple years.
Wasn't until he played 8 season before he got his big contract.
He has 79 pts in 77 play-off games.

So there is that as a significant difference compared to Marner or Matthews.

You’re not getting 2 1sts for Willy - as great as he is.. and I love the guy…

Top 5 protected in 24 & 2 young quality D men one a Righty, Helleson, the other a lefty LaCombe - that’s the kind of deal Leafs should be looking for.

I'd trade Matthews and Tavares and keep MArner + Nylander
