Edmondson played really well in the playoffs

Not sure why Robertson is in the doghouse. I agree - we need to keep him and give him a fair shot and see what happens.

Ron Ellis. Jan.8 1945 - May 11 2024. RIP.

Rielly For a Defenceman and picks . Marner for a Centre is good too.

My guess is Tavares already has or is willing to waive his NTC and is being showcased at the Worlds to help raise his trade value providing he does good in a spot maybe (Playing along side Bedard) just my opinion

The problem with the NMC is that the players will only give a short list of teams where they would accept to be traded to. Those teams are probably the usual cup contenders and don’t have cap space. So if they want to move on from JT. They will have to retain a significant portion and will not get much in return.

I like Nick Robertson, he needs 2nd line minutes under a new coach & a good line mate to work with. He's got talent, just needs a chance.

i wouldn't break up the core 4 --- find a no-nonsense coach --- sign Domi --- Hire Dale Hunter from the London Knights and keep the core 4 -- don't sign Bertuzzi

The cap is going up yet Matthews and Nylander took the entire increase

Robertson needs to be a 2nd line LW.

NO including those from Dubas’ Sault Saint Marie if any around

TAVARES STAYS, he will sign a team friendly deal and stay in toronto. Tavares his kids have been here for school his family is here, he will sign a team friendly deal and stay.is not going to be moved, Marner is the clown who needs to go guy wants over 12 m and he doesnt deserve it at all

This guy knows what he’s talking about 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Rather have Chandler Stephenson and Carrier as UFA than Bertuzzi and Domi.

Who wants Tavares or Marner?

Would Tavares agree to a new contract at a very reduce rate

Both have to go if possible keeping Marner & Tavares means running it back at what point does insanity work it doesn't. I get the fact they both have a NMC but if they agree to waive you have to get all you can for both! Keeping 1 doesn't help them come playoffs it will be rinse & repeat come April/May if 1 or both are still on the team. This team needs a major overhaul too much soft players who aren't willing to do the dirty work. Majority or half this roster needs to be turned over. Keep the young players & Matthews & Nylander are signed longer-term so they are staying but the Leafs aren't going anywhere unless they get a proven #1 goalie & 2 top dman at least.

Keep Jonny T. He was one of the few forwards who competed physically. Plus his family is rooted here, he's made his fortune. If you try to move him you will have to take back salary and throw in a first rounder like they did with Marlow. Bad deal for the Leafs. As for the rest, you have to look at comparable's out there, their age and asking price. No use evaluating the current rosters in a bubble. Yes we need a first string goalie and a stud D-man but you have to look at what's available and interested in Toronto. You can say all you want what Dubas paid for the core4 but without asking what they could have signed for elsewhere is pointless. Leafs are in competition with low tax, sunny/warm American cities for talent. That's a huge factor. Nobody is dying to come play for the Leafs anymore. They have perfected the art of choking for 8 years straight. The logo hasn't been worth a bag of pucks since 1993. Who the heck would want to come here unless they are into self abuse or big money. Try Marner to UTAH for 3 first rounders. They have the cap, need to put butts in the seats, provide high level entertainment and make the playoffs. Marner fits the bill perfectly and gets his baby face out of the harsh Toronto spotlight. Try to resign Bert and Dom or similar UFA's out there with balls to long term deals. Try to resign Lyubush and Edmonston or similar UFA big tough stay at home D-men. Try to sign a #1 goalie and a top pairing puck moving D-man. That's my to do list for Tribbles.

I think you are about half right on your predictions

Let’s just be honest the core 4 didn’t play well but let’s just blame Samsonov because then we can keep Mitch😂😂

Im worried that Robertson wants out of Toronto, after what he's been through the past few years. Sounded like he wanted to be traded this past year.

I would want to keep Domi for 2nd line center if you can get rid of tavares

I completely expect them to either run it back, or trade JT and sign MM for $14. Completely dysfunctional franchise. Shanny should have been fired when he gave Dubas the job. Disgusting!

Everyone keeps saying "JT will go" he won't. JT will stay as 3c at a discount, and will refuse to waive. It's no "a high possibility" JT is from Toronto, ans has 3 small kids. No chance.

It's a curse right now. Right now we're only trying one way. Not the other.. and it's time to try the other way

Regarding Robertson, I totally agree with you that he is a 30-goal player, if not next season, then the one after. I think he is a 20-25 goal player next season if we give him more ice-time per game.

I'm surprised you think you can Trade Tavares...even if he does waive his NMC, the leafs would have to pick up $6 million of his cap hit. Also we pay him $7 million on July 1 so his salary for the year is only $900K. Can you replace his mins for a guy $900K and a min of keeping $6 million of the cap. Marner is the guy that must go...period the end

Marner has to go

At this point I don’t care who they move someone has to be moved or they will have the same result next season they need a goaltender they need better defensive

Let's gooooo

Trade Rielly and Marner . Give Robertson a bridge deal and trade for a Defenceman. Marner should fetch a G.

How can you feel bad for a player who made 10’s of millions already got injured which sucks but was still pad his contract what they made in one year sitting injured is more than we make in a career! Thinks out that, I can’t feel sorry or bad for them at all, never, ever, they can’t make a living being a pro hockey player that sucks but you still made gobs of money bro, can’t do it for felling bad, no way, sorry but you got a life with ZERO financial pitfalls.

Tavares performs in the playoffs. Plus Tavares has 1 year and he will sign again for 2 years at 5-6 million.. He is not the problem, the contract is the problem. Marner is a liability and afraid of the PWHL.

Robertson has a wicked laser shot. No way in hell should they ever give up on him.

Play Robertson on top 6 or free the guy.

PLEASE no more long-term contracts!

I agree with you Andrew. Trying to move on from JT would make a lot more sense than trying to move MM.

Bertuzzi gone, was a no show for half the season. 3 million max. Brodie gone. Sammy gone. muzzin retired. Murray, health, done. Klingberg done,

Bert and Ty JR should be signed. McCabe was great.

Reeves was the worse signing. Should have kept Shen and bring him in again if available

Marner to Seattle - Wright, 1st ( 8th overall ) plus D prospect Marner signs 8 yr extension with the Kracken

Im not a fan of Robertson's game at all, hes a weak skater always falling which pisses me off seing that from a so called NHL player... However he can score so I do agree with you in not letting him walk

John Tavares waiving his NMC to allow a trade is a pipe dream. There are two obvious problems with such an idea in why would he do it and who would take on an $11M cap hit for that declining player? Tavares will play out the final year of his contract as a Leaf. All of Connor Dewar, Timothy Liljegren and Nick Robertson should get bridge deals and be used as potential trade chips. Max Domi will likely be signed but Tyler Bertuzzi will likely be too expensive for the Leafs current cap situation. Like it or not, the core four all have total trade protection for next season and will likely all return. As for the goaltenders, the Leafs are clearly looking for a tandem partner for Joseph Woll and they are also looking for a 3rd stringer with NHL experience. The have three in-house UFAs to choose from in Matt Murray, Martin Jones and Ilya Samsonov. I agree that Jones is the preferable option for the 3rd goalie slot but he may have other ideas, while Samsonov is not suited for the job. This might be a role for Murray at the right price. Murray will have limited options and it may be his best shot at returning to the NHL. I'm not 100% on board with saying goodbye to Samsonov. Regardless of his ugly stats, an NHL goalie with a winning record has some value and despite an upgrade in net being an obvious team need, the market may not comply. At the moment Sammy is sadly one of the best off-season UFA options, which suggests that the trade route is how the Leafs will find a goalie. There are other things that need to be addressed as well. For example; will the Leafs carry a part time defender on the roster again in Conor Timmins? Is John Klingberg done? Then there is the unknown of will any players in the pipeline earn jobs such as Fraser Minten or Dennis Hildeby, to name just two? I just hope that Brad Treliving is up to the task of rebuilding this roster.

Montour would be nice!

Andrew, lastly you mentioned to keep Roberson...yes this guy will get 30 goals in the future but are we building a team for the regular season or the playoffs...he's too small and this GM wants to be bigger in every opportunity. If you want to get great players in a trade, Liligren and Roberson are the two that need to go. How do you feel about a Marner for Crosby deal...both teams would benefit.

Andrew the only UFA s i would bring back are domi and bertuzzi for the future of the leafs treliving should ask Tavares and marner to wave there are UFA defence out there treliving can sign pesce zadorov tanev they could easily get 2 top 2 defence man for marner and Tavares

I agree with everything but Betrtuzzi. For his game and salary, I would rather find a bigger body.

Mathews traded to Rangers for Shiesterkin. Who is more valuable in playoffs? Rangers could afford Mathews. MATHEWS goes to U.S. where he will end up after his contract expires. Leafs get best goalie in league. They win all playoff games 1 - 0. Win the CUP.

Marner has to go he is useless in the playoffs and teams will pay or trade good players for him

I’d rather deal Marner and Willy for bluechips and picks and cap space and sign Guentzel and Marchessault as UFA.

Domi stays.. I say 3 years at 4 million per season. I would also sign Bertuzzi foe the same contract.. Keeping them both and saving 500K per season

Trade Mitch Marner for Travis Konecny. Resign Joel Edmundson and Ilya Lyubushkin. Sign Luke Kunin, Brett Pesce, Nikita Zadorov, and Cam Talbot. Trade Calle Jarnkrok, Nick Robertson, John Tavares, Timothy Liljegren, and Conor Timmins. Bring in new blood - Nikita Grebyonkin, Jacob Quillan, Cade Webber. Bury Ryan Reaves in minors. 2024-25 Team... Woll Talbot Zadorov Lyubushkin Rielly Pesce Benoit McCabe Edmundson Knies Matthews Konecny Bertuzzi Nylander Kunin Holmberg Domi McMann Dewar Kampf Grebyonkin Quillan Maybe hold on to Gregor at league minimum. I didn't mind him. He hits, he skates. Coacing Staff... Berube or Brind'Amour Giordano (assistant) Van Ryan (assistant) No coach for the power play. Have 2 units and let them challenge themselves and work it out.

Trade Kampf and Jarktock. Keep Dewar he's Kampf only cheaper. Jarnkorck was a zero in the playoffs.

Trade the entire team, total garbage

Your not moving JT and Marner without taking back salary cap. Stop saying you get all the cap space by moving them
