Awesome. Timashov and Gauthier are largely ineffective so swap them out

Agree but I doubt either will play. They've both Marchment and Korshkov played Friday and Saturday.dekedastardly said:Arn said:Korshkov and Marchment recalled. Interesting.

How 'bout, no?
You think he's gonna keep that up? Highly unlikely.

At that pace? Probably not, but he does something no one else on the team does with his work along the boards and in front of the net. He's highly valuable.
I believe there is an agreement in place with Jake Muzzin to extend with the Toronto Maple Leafs ? five years at just over $5.5 million. I believe it is a heavily front-loaded contract extension for Jake Muzzin. It will have a variety of forms of trade protection. Because of the tagging issues and the salary cap implications the Toronto Maple Leafs continue to wrestle with, I don?t believe the Maple Leafs are going to announce anything until perhaps later this month or early in March.

Via MLHS:
Darren Dreger reported on Tuesday that the Jake Muzzin contract is all but done at around four years, ~$5.5 million AAV.
That's a fair deal. I think they wait until March because a team is only allowed so much salary to go out in the event of a work stoppage.I believe there is an agreement in place with Jake Muzzin to extend with the Toronto Maple Leafs ? five years at just over $5.5 million.

Arn said:Sometimes you need to take a step back to take a step forward. Matthews, Marner etc have been pretty successful* since they came into the league. You need to taste pain and adversity to maybe just drive up that desire to win to the next level.
So maybe missing out this year is what's needed. Didn't Tampa miss out a few years back when they had a LOT of injuries in similar fashion to the Leafs this year and since then they've been a very consistent side (barring last year's shock I guess)
And for that reason I would aim to stand pat at the trade deadline. I definitely wouldn't use up assets to bring anyone in. Wait til the summer and reconfigure then.
If someone offers a mind blowing over payment for the likes of a Kapanen I would probably take it though without really going out to shop them. I'd see what I could get for expiring contracts like Barrie rather than lose him for nothing a la JVR/Bozak.
*Relative to the lack of success the Leafs had had in the previous decade in making the playoffs and having very good regular season records etc

CarltonTheBear said:Just something to remember: from November 20th to February 3rd the Leafs had the 3rd best record in the entire NHL. That's over a 1/3 of the season and was literally just over 2 weeks ago. Even if you include this past 2 week stretch where they've struggled they still have the 6th best record in the league since Keefe was hired.
They played like dogshit last night. No other way around that. If that game occurred 38 games into the season it'd be easier to just shake off because of how the previous 37 went. But because of what happened before November 20th the Leafs don't have any rope left to hang themselves and I obviously get why people are reacting to last night like they are.
Still, all they need to do to make it to the playoffs is be better than the friggin' Florida Panthers. And if they get back to that Nov.20-Feb.3rd type of play they'll be a very dangerous team to face in the playoffs.
Considering Freddie's stats (worst save percentage among any goalie with 10+ games in 2020), I don't know how you couldn't go with a "win and you're in" mentality with the goalies going forward. And it's Campbell's turn now.
KadriFan said:How many regulation wins do they have in 2020?
KadriFan said:How can a team ranked near the top in goals against be one of the best?
A win is a win. But...the team has been struggling to get those wins against weaker competition. Now they face a bunch of playoff teams which will give a better idea where this team stands. Based on last night, it doesn't look good. They got shredded on the PK and weren't able to generate much offense despite all the fancy skating and passing. That won't work against better teams.Guilt Trip said:Yup. Win is a win.
Marincin Barrie is a disaster waiting to happen.CarltonTheBear said:https://twitter.com/kristen_shilton/status/1230192839390351364
