Now put Murray on LTIR, trade Brodie, and sign Domi.

That part I've been thinking is going to happen at some point before October

Imagine if Brad trades Nylander for Kadri?

That would be a nice group of forwards.

Leafs will win again when they turn heel.

Would be pretty funny. Wonder what else Calgary would add to get it done.

But if the Leafs also somehow sign Domi, after this trade, they could have a piece of poop on every line.

Not if other teams wont or cant extend him beyond this season...they will offer tokens, and the Leafs wont, and shouldn't take it. They will get a 'haul' in a trade if the other team and Nylander can agree on an extension. If it’s crazy money, the Leafs may have trouble finding a trade that will give them value.

I think GM’s will be willing to take risks after watching Vegas do it and win a cup.

Someone will sell the farm for Nylander. Because he’s a good enough player to put your team over the top. He always healthy too, partly because he avoids contact at all costs.

If Nylander wants crazy money, other teams may not bother to trade for him when they are not willing to extend him. Nylander holds the cards. He can just say he will not extend with anyone, and he becomes untradable (for value). In that case, Leafs are better to keep him for this year and let him go to UFA. Bid for him there. They wont get value for him now, and Leafs shouldnt do a salary dump now and lose a 40 goal scorer for this season. Players today are hired-guns. Expect no loyalty. And that's fine.

(frank) that. Trade his ass now.

If plug are trading at the trade deadline for 1st round picks…
You can get way more than that even as a 1 year rental.

See ya Willy. 🤟🏻

Dubas would never have signed a anti-vaxxer 🤓

Leafs are now 5 million over the cap. They can use Muzzins LTIR of 5.6 million to cover that. And keep Nylander for the year. They don’t have to trade Nylander to make budget, I don’t think. And that’s with Murray still on the roster.

Dubas tried to get him twice

Leafs still have cap space, taking off Muffin & Murray

- .HOHO.

Willy wants over 10 apparently. Meier just signed for 8.8. Love him but see ya later if that's true. Nylander for Pesce and Necas/Jarvis

Agreed. Don’t get why the Wings couldn’t sign him. No signing bonus?
- Minnyhock

Seems like guys are doing 1 yr deals in places that they want to be. He could turn a year on 34's left side into a 7 x 7 from Edmonton.

They have added some talented players on 1 year deals.

They don't have to worry about a willy decision with Bert and Klingberg.

Impressive work here.

One can dream

I used to have so much fun watching the Leafs in the late 90’s to mid 2000’s. I feel like when the Leafs finally decided to tank and restart something new, a part of their original entity died. That stupid oak leaf logo, that stupid song, the attempt to re-invent hockey because charts and graphs say so..

I’m starting to anticipate some exciting hockey under Brads tenure as GM. He’s breathing new life into the organization. Signing character guys like Reaves, thereby making a statement to the players that they have to play tougher hockey now.

..and assuming you're using CF Robertson's $$ is in there too. So back that out and they've got about 1.5M plus whatever they save dumping Murray and signing Sammy.

I can’t see CAR doing that, but who knows, maybe? I’d want Jarvis over Necas, aka “Willy 2.0”

Klingberg is the whipping boy replacement for Holl.

I give EK a heck of a hard time usually, but he did suggest Bert to the Leafs yesterday, so I'll give him a LITTLE credit.

Still not up, something is off. 🚨

And Jake Gardiner before him. It’s a storied role for a storied franchise.

Well done - An excellent move -

Wish it was longer but you don't get him longer at that price. I have been a fan since he was in junior (I live in Guelph). He was my son's favourite player when we used to go watch the Storm.

Yes, I like that idea a lot. 👍

No, he gave himself credit when it was all over Twitter yesterday.

All of these one year contracts make me believe that Treliving is close to signing both Matthews and Nylander(where the contracts has no effect this year, but will kick in next year). People around here will likely be disappointed in the AAV of both contracts. Nylander likely 9.5-10m and Matthews likely around 13.5 -14m.

Bertuzzi decides not to stay in Boston - toxic dressing room?
