With Murray going to Seattle I wonder if the team looks to bring in another veteran 3rd goalie, or if they're comfortable using Hildeby or Akhtyamov in that role yet. The UFA goalie market is very, very slim right now. Would a 37-year old James Reimer want to keep playing hockey? I don't see...

I think the fact that it's Marner who primarily wanted to leave is making this all a little bit easier for me. If he was 100% committed to staying and it was Treliving who made the call to let him walk I'd probably be spending the next several years, if not longer, constantly wondering if that...

I think Jared McCann would make a ton of sense, assuming it's true that Seattle is looking to move him. Would be one of the fastest guys on the team, can play centre if the team feels like it needs more speed there (it does) but can also play wing of course if they don't want to move JT or Roy...

Yeah I agree we shouldn't necessarily be afraid to spend a little now because of wanting to save space for next season. Even if we signed Ehlers long-term at $9mil there would still be easy enough ways to make McDavid fit with the rising cap. Heck maybe we send the Oilers Nic Roy for McDavid's...

No LTIR and having cap space? I might have to remember how accruing cap space works.

Mangiapane and Brazeau would have been nice. If you added those two and dealt Kampf and Jarnkrok we'd have: Knies-Matthews-Domi Maccelli-Tavares-Nylander McMann-Roy-Mangiapane Lorentz-Laughton-Brazeau With the D and G and Myers, Reaves, and Pezzetta in the press box there would still be over...

Honestly, he'd probably get more as a free agent right now. So far at least he's been aging pretty well, the contract isn't completely horrible.

Dubas gets him back. I would have done this deal.

Ah I legit wondered about Boyd for the Marlies. That's your 1C for Cowan to play with. Also I know there's bit a bit of griping about Pezzetta but I don't think it's a certainty that he won't be Marlies bound too at the start of the season.

Well Pezzetta is going to be able to actually play. Don't love him, and hope he's more slotted into a 13th forward role, but he's still better than Reaves. If anything this basically confirms Reaves won't be on the roster I feel like.

We don't know what the official trade looks like still. If the Leafs end up buying some draft picks and/or prospects by doing that it could be interesting. It's just money.

For whatever reason the Knies contract hasn't been officially announced by the Leafs yet. There's probably a non-panicky reason for this. Probably.

Marchand here would have gone down as either the best or worst contract the Leafs maybe ever signed. Given how things have gone recently I would have taken that risk. Just don't know what Plan B is now.

God I hate Florida.

Well, end of an era. Mitch Marner should have gone down as the Leafs leading all-time points scorer. Should have had a Cup or two. Should have had his statue put up and number retired. The fact that this isn't happening is due to a lot of different peoples failures, but ultimately he has to own...

For 3 years I would have expected more of a lower cap hit. He's a fine player. Nice guy. Too nice of a guy maybe. Wish he remembers what some of his idols like Tucker and Roberts played like in playoffs next time. There might be a reason Florida let him go if he doesn't.

I'm like a genuine Holmberg-hater at this point but even I'm surprised by this. Still think he's a perfectly fine 13th forward who can plug and play anywhere when injuries hit. He just has has no business being a regular forward.

Maccelli at least appears to understand where the defensive zone is.

Hah, my first thought about this was "this feels like a Dubas move".

Interesting condition on that: Should the Maple Leafs earn a playoff berth and Maccelli records at least 51 points in 2025-26, the pick will be converted to a second-round selection in 2029.
