    2025-26 Marlies Thread

    Ah, I was wondering why Brandon Baddock went so soon (no disrespect to him).

    Leafs Acquired Raddysh [8 years, $8.5mil AAV]

    That's not even the best one:

    Leafs Acquired Raddysh [8 years, $8.5mil AAV]

    Vibes are insane compared to a couple months ago haha.

    Woll and Benoit traded to Philly

    I think Stolarz will definitely rebound, especially with a better team in front of him. It's just the injury stuff that scares me.

    Leafs Acquired Raddysh [8 years, $8.5mil AAV]

    Rielly-Carlo could easily be our "bottom" pairing this season with Raddysh, McCabe, Tanev, and OEL above them.

    Leafs Acquired Raddysh [8 years, $8.5mil AAV]

    He did this playing alongside JJ Moser, who has some Jake McCabe vibes, so I wonder if that'll be a pairing here to allow Tanev some easier minutes at his age alongside OEL or Rielly.

    Leafs Acquired Raddysh [8 years, $8.5mil AAV]

    I've been holding off on getting to deep into this until he actually came here but I also really do believe that there's reason to think that Raddysh is more of a legitimate late bloomer than a true one-year wonder. His breakout professional season came in 22/23 at the age of 26 when he went...

    Leafs Acquired Raddysh [8 years, $8.5mil AAV]

    Love it. I was starting to expect closer to $10mil. 8 years is obviously a lot but you know what at my age now (and likely everyone else's) I'm starting to come around to Nonis' "I'm not worried about year 7" comment. Every contract is moveable so if it comes to that we'll worry about it then...

    Armchair GM Thread 2026/27

    For whatever it's worth Seider absolutely belongs in that "flat out untouchable" category. Dude's a beast. Probably the only two guys I would be happy moving Knies for (or moving him for futures and then swapping those futures) who are currently potentially available per media reports would be...

    Armchair GM Thread 2026/27

    I think it'd be an interesting swap. To use the word again, because of their size and playing ability both players are a bit of a "unicorn" at their position. Buffalo, especially if/when they lose Tuch, will need help at the wings and are still loaded with left-handed defencemen in Dahlin...

    Armchair GM Thread 2026/27

    I mean he'd just be Rielly 2.0. The offence he provides (and let's remind everyone his career high in points is 42) isn't enough to take away from the fact that he can't play defence. Again not a horrible player by any stretch, but not the guy we give up our one and only tradeable unicorn for.

    Armchair GM Thread 2026/27

    If we're trading Knies to Buffalo for a defenceman it'd be for Owen Power, not Bryam.

    Armchair GM Thread 2026/27

    I'm not at all totally opposed to moving Knies, but Bryam just doesn't feel like a big enough prize to make me wanna do it. The value of Tuch's rights seems neglible. I mean I'd be all for signing him especially if Knies gets dealt but he doesn't move the needle much in that trade. The biggest...

    Armchair GM Thread 2026/27

    Even with an extension (which seems unlikely for the obvious reason) Byram really just doesn't strike me as someone who'd be worth the trade cost. Nemec's in that same boat for me.

    Jim Hiller is the new Head Coach

    From LeBrun today: "Vegas GM Kelly McCrimmon revealed to local media on Wednesday that the Golden Knights gave permission to Cassidy to speak with one team midway through the playoffs. I think that team was Toronto, but I know for a fact that the Maple Leafs and Cassidy never did speak, so they...

    Jim Hiller is the new Head Coach

    Nothing. Friedman reported that he may have been interviewing for the Edmonton job, but that's the only mention of him out there basically since he got fired.

    Jim Hiller is the new Head Coach

    Say what you will about him, but yeah he definitely shouldn't be "Berube 2.0".

    Jim Hiller is the new Head Coach

    Well that's unexpected. My initial gut reaction wasn't great. I really liked some of those LA teams, and even said at one point Rob Blake would have been an interesting GM target if we were going the more traditional route for that choice. I generally put their losses on Hiller to a degree but...

    Woll and Benoit traded to Philly

    I still can't believe how good he was as a pairing with McCabe then. Shame he couldn't maintain anywhere near that level of play.
