Knives out!

I am interested in throwing Jack Roslovic's hat into the ring as a budget scoring option. He can fly, he can start and finish rush plays, and he's a righty that plays a bit of centre. He's an offensively-inclined Calle Jarnkrok. I have a feeling Carolina will have trouble retaining players.

I don't think the Leafs are too far off. Losing Marner in terms of playoff success is survivable in my opinion (y'all know why). I think Treliving added a lot of big, rangy defense to give the goaltending support and sightlines, which led to probably one of their better postseason showings in a...

I would like them to entertain the idea of pre-emptively opening UFA for Marner, like we suggested last year. Give Ferris and other teams permission to woo Marner like 2 weeks before July 1. Bring back to the Leafs' table a shortlist of reasonable destinations, their cap hit appetite, and what...

I would like Treliving, who knows him quite well, to identify the next Sam Bennett or Baby Pacioretty and just go get him. Just a quiet, effective play driver, who will also take the opening to truck someone off the puck.

You don’t. Shanahan’s main flaw was his attachment to what he had built.

This is a throttling Would be nice if the Leafs could forecheck like this It’s 3-0 btw. Makes the Leafs look decent in contrast.

Going from one coach that he has fought before, right to another

This was and will always be very cool of him

He did a lot of things to right and modernize this organization that floundered hard after the advent of the salary cap. At the end, we basically hit the ceiling of his vision. It probably would've worked if we had McDavid instead of Marner (one lotto ball away), for example, which would make...

Shanahan “will not be renewed” is the phrasing.

Not an end-all-be-all stat by any stretch (is there such a thing in hockey?), but for a team that is always falling short offensively in the spring, this is a pretty good indicator of which players are putting the puck on net.

Hence Tavares-Nylander going relatively quiet in the back half. Matthews-Marner getting iced out by the FLA third line and second-pair was basically made this a done deal. The rest of the article is great (but sad/maddening, because it's basically our 2023 and 2024 threads lol)
