To me that extra $3.5M means shiit. It's not enough when you have to replace that player any way.

The roster is in a downward spiral of attrition.

The Leafs, because of the cap mess on 3 forwards, keep having to cheat on the value of players in the right position...like Holl being a top 4 on a contender

Leafs have NO CAP space to fix the roster properly. Leafs have no option but to put players in positions that are over their head.


Lose fu3king Marner already. It will sting for some of you for a while but when the Leafs get passed the 1st round finally....we will all be celebrating the wins AND Marner's success elsewhere.

We could have $20M for:

4 W (we need 3 now but with Marner gone)
1 top 4 RHD
1 b/u G

Or we have $9M for:

3 W
1 top 4 RHD
1 b/u G

Thank you for laying out the cold hard truth.

Dubas and Shanny are in "down with the ship" mode, apparently.

Well maybe, maybe not but how many teams are going to just take Kerfoots cap on?
- bobbyisno1

He gets paid 700K this year and 1.9M next year.

You own a business...what if another competing restaurant offered to pay 60% of your employees salary? Valuable eh?

Personally I’d like to see Hamilton over all 3 of those guys.
- Garnie

Also forwards would have been set and you have Holls 2 million, plus trade Rielly and you have your Hamilton.

Without sending any cap hit back. Not going to happen.

It happened with Kapanen.

It happened with Johnson.

It can happen with Kerfoot.

So let me get this straight...

Pens were going to lose McCann.

Dubas gave them Hallander and a 7th. Logic: they might take Kerfoot.

Kerfoot = McCann give or take a tiny bit of $ and talent either way.

Kraken take McCann.

Pens get Hallander and a 7th.

Kraken basically took Hallander and a 7th from the Leafs, nothing off of the roster for the expansion draft.


Besides the fact that our roster can't make it passed the first round and is obviously fu3ked money wise to balance it out...all of it was a complete nothing burger.

I'm no fan of Dubas, but it was a slick move and worked.


Now get the fu3k to work Dubas, fix this piece of shiit, pu$$y ass team and find some muthafu3king players with fire in their belly. Oh wait, can't no $$$.

3 wingers
1 top 4 RHD
1 b/u G

No cap, no picks, light on the prospects. We're fu3ked.
- underhill14

This.

Look at it this way Bobby...

Jared McCann was never a Leaf. How could we lose him?
- buddzy

Yes, he was though.. Or do we just pretend Saturday July 17 to Wednesday July 21 never actually happened?

It happened with Kapanen.

It happened with Johnson.

It can happen with Kerfoot.

Remember that rumour last summer that Dubas turned down Dermott + Johnsson for Weegar?

Yeah that didn't age well.

from last blog:

Apparently Giordano might be being flipped to the Rangers.
- BINGO!

I dont get it for the Rangers, they are making some dumb moves since getting rid of their gm and president

Pretty sure that rumor wasn't accurate considering what the Leafs trades Johansson for

Elliotte Friedman on 31 Thoughts podcast about Weegar and Toronto. “I think that Florida made an ask, and i think that they were looking at Johnsson & Dermott, and i think Toronto turned that down”

Fairly reputable source as far as rumours go. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pens knew they were going to lose McCann so that got two assets for him.
Leafs knew they were going to lose McCann, but they got nothing for him.

We didn't only lose Hallander and a 7th to Seattle, we lost McCann..

Which in my opinion is a fail by Dubas

A lot of "I think" in there

What's the latest on Landeskog? We getting him, too?

Not very relevant to what I posted - but sure, that would have been a good move if it was available.

- PatC80

That there is...

I wonder if you could get 1st round draft pick for Rielly and a 2nd and 3rd for Kerfoot.

Carolina doesn’t look to bad though.
- Garnie

An awful lot of that comes from decisions made after Francis left.

He stockpiles for eternity but never adds from outside of that.

If that deal was on the table, it was a bad decision. There's no denying that. Weegar is a better top-4 option that Holl. He also makes $1.5m more. So pennies would have had to be saved elsewhere - but regardless, yes I recall that offer at the time, and I would have done that one.

What's the latest on Landeskog? We getting him, too?
- fifty__missions

that would be a win for us...
At least until Holl scores the game winning goal of game 7 in round 1 of the playoffs

Not very relevant to what I posted - but sure, that would have been a good move if it was available.
- Leafs43

Yeah I wasn't looking to be graded on relevance.

Just saw Johnsson and it unlocked that from my memory.

Not sure, wait until July 28th

I like giordano but he's 37 and I wouldn't give up a heck of a lot for him, especially on that contract.

Not sure, wait until July 28th

Delusional.
