Matthews with Nylander and Knies.

Marner with Tavares and Bertuzzi.



I'll believe it when I see it.

The annoying part is they would win that game 7-0 just because.

Damien Cox has a good article in the Star today, pretty much sums it up and nails it, if you ask me……..with respect to the Leafs, Keefe, MLSE, officiating, Paros, Bettman, etc. Good read.

I just won't agree with you here that Robertson is untouchable because he "might" provide some value in scoring for his cap hit. I like him but at the end of the day he still hasn't showed he is anything more than a 3rd line scoring forward.

I keep Cowen, Minten all day over him. Who will provide better cap hits for longer.

- Santo_44


I'm not saying Robertson is untouchable. What I'm saying is that will need leagues minimum average contracts to balance out the higher end contracts being signed.

Matt Dumba is UFA next year, good Canadian boy...
- gravyface

Well if they want to add D they have to give up some younger players/prospects that have those cheap deals.

Its the way it is.

Keep Cowen and Minten. Also Knies but thats a given.

Robertson is expendable.

They tried, he turned down Klingbergs contract from the Leafs on FA day because he thought he was worth 5x5.

Waited too long and signed 3.9m 1 year, Friedman already said this.

Also I'd rather sign neither, so I am more happy with the mulligan on Klingberg than healthy Dumba.

Dumba hasn't been good this season either.

Leafs need help on D.

If the Leafs can land Kane reasonably then there is options to move Robertson for help on D which is desperately needed.

- Santo_44

The leafs will need cheap players like Robertson if they are to spend half the cap of 4 forwards.

I doubt kane is coming to Toronto
Besides you wont be getting a good dman with Robertson cap hit

Have to give to get.

Plus Robertson may not even provide more value than his contract next year, he will get a raise.

Knies, Niemala, Cowen, Minten, Robertson all guys who can provide value.

Robertson is the only one who will be above a million next year. I know who I am most open to trading for D and its not the first 4.

You would be stupid to trade Knies and Cowen right now.

Niemela is the stand alone leafs prospect with top 4 potential.

Minten and Robertson are your pieces, easy to choose here.

All other gms will probably want the first four over Robertson in a deal.

I am sure they would, they won't get them.

Not unless is a really good player with term coming back.

Rarely are prospects of those caliber traded for expiring deals unless your name is Mark Stone.

Pretty simple, you have Minten and Robertson as your pieces that you can trade. Both probably have similar value and if im the leafs I keep Minten because there's no other C's.

Don’t sign Kane and use Klingberg $ if he has surgery for D.
