I think they go into the season with what they got and see how their young guys do. Jarnkrok is a great player and was doing good last season before getting hurt so I think keeping his is the best bet. I want a line of Domi, Matthews Marner and watch Matthews score 75

DTSB, those options are totally on the money. What you didn't mention is that in the Bolts first Cup win, Gourde was a lights out effective 3rd line difference maker. Players who find another gear in the playoffs should be very high on the Leafs shopping list - he's that guy!. He's a big favorite of mine, but I think he might be hard to pry out of Seattle ... they love him there. Robertson may hold some attractiveness for the Kraken, though - they have to find more scoring. All the Centre options are good, and my opinion is you presented them in the order of attractiveness. Glad you're back, and REALlY glad that you're posting with some frequency. Your analysis always teaches me something and I can't say that about many other sites.

Looks like you are hoping to get 40 points rather than Kamf's 20 points. 20 more points. At least 5 of those will be 2nd assists.. so like 15 valuable points. Frost would cost probably 5 points more than Kamf in bad D. None of this means losing a playoff spot or even positioning. I say leave it as is, give kids and Homberg more time, and let's look at a big move at the deadline rather than this marginal improvement.

Decent defensively, decent offensively and just a hard nose, gritty player whos not afraid to go to the tough areas..also a good leader and if you ask me, the Leafs need as much of that as they can get.

I like that the player tiles have more detail. It was a bit of a pain to get everything to fit on the screen though. I had to add a second display capture in OBS and crop it so the cap space would fit on screen next to the lineup. Otherwise to include it on screen I’d have to zoom out so far that it’d look tiny. They also have ads that randomly load at the top and bottom of the page and it ruins the framing of my screen capture. But I think those are issues just unique to me and my use case haha

I don't see any of Colton, Hayton, or Gourde moving. At least not for a price that the leafs would be top bidders on. Pageau and McBain not clear upgrades of upgrades at all over just seeing what you have in a Holmberg/Domi/Kampf combo. Frost is interesting. But the reason he might be available is friction with Tortz and the Leafs' coach isn't exactly a softy. All in all, Leafs have been more than fine with a below average 3C because their top two Cs are money. I'd rather just see what progression you can get from Holmberg than spend assets (unless you can steal Frost for a song). BUT, and most important I should add, Stephen you are an absolute peach for churning out this much off season content. A gem. A treat! My favourite person at this moment!

In this case the player is free, which to me makes him a sexier target than trading for someone. Teams know the position Toronto is in and will make them pay.

For the Maple Leafs, the ugly truth is that team is handcuffed so long as the team's current biggest 4 contracts - some would say five - remain in place. So much of the cap committed to so few players is a recipe for post-season failure. Four of five players can carry a team in the regular season, but not a grueling Stanley Cup playff - four best of seven series!

They need to trade to make room for the 1.1 mil 6'2 30 point RHD and the 3 mil 6'1" 40 point RHD. Moving on from the kid who was a point per game when Rielly was out at 1 mil is ridiculous but it is the Leafs so... They keep the clueless players with no offensive upside and are always out of position chasing hits away from where they should be and let players who actually cover the backdoor play can play offense and are always covering the dangerous player on the ice.

I like your show but I honestly dont think they will try to get anyone making over $1.5M AAV in return for a Kampf trade. They are taking a "win now" approach to everything but with this particular case... they simply cant afford to go after a $2.5M to $5M player without giving up a ton of assets for the other team to retain some salary. At this point I think they wanted to see how everyone did during the Leafs training camp. And, see if anyone is ready to step up to the NHL and take a 3rd line forward role. Like Minten, Steeves, and Cowan. Then... after the Kampf trade look around at free agent forwards for more depth with their $2.5M in cap space.

He's coming off a 10 G 21 P season where he had 0 points in 7 playoff games, going -2 over that span. He has 5 goals and 17 points in NINETY-THREE PLAYOFF GAMES. But hey, he'll only be 33 by the time next season starts so he's basically just entering his prime.

I personally don't think this team got much better at all..maybe a little bit defensively, we will find out when they hit the ice, because at the end of the day, hockey isn't played on paper.. as far as up front, they lost Bertuzzi and did absolutely nothing to replace him in any way, shape, or form..people can bitch about Bert all they want, but there's very few players in the NHL that bring what he brings, plain and simple. I'm extremely happy they got Domi DONE. That's one smart move, he's a heart and soul type of guy and unlike so many before him, he actually wants to be here and yes he took less money to stay. What im really concerned with is the Goaltending. We have a 26 year old in Woll that can NOT stay healthy, Everytime he moves side to side he seems to get hurt plus he's very inexperienced, i think he's the future in net for the Leafs if he stays healthy, but i think they blew it by not getting a guy like Markstrom just incase shit went sideways quick..Stolarz is a very good career BACKUP whos never played more than 30 games in a single season..boys, if that don't concern a few people, i guess they have more confidence in this team than i do for some reason even after watching the same crap year after year. I hope and pray that Woll stays healthy, takes a big step and plays 50 games and Stolarz steps up huge for us when called upon, but I've watched this team too long to believe anything until i see it happen on the ice, period.

So far, they put new lipstick on the same hog.,So far, they are slightly above the Cap. So Far, they haven't the assets or space to trade for a quality 3rd line center. Yanni gourde is a small and high risk , Pageau on a 1 year contract would be fine, but you would have to give a pick for retention. Cowan needs more development imo,. The problem is the core 4 taking up so much of the cap that they are either forced to trade for magic beans (hope that cheap player pans out) or chip in more picks for retention. If you can't move any of the core 4 to improve, then use guys from the AHL (at least these guys are hungry) because this season is going to be the eightpeat, eight failures to get past the 1st rnd (Im not counting the Cats series because 1 game won is not being competitive) I would not trade any prospects or picks, and stand pat with what I have until the season is over, then I would retool. But the Leafs often do the unexpected and not in a good way.
