Here we go it's been a while since I posted but here is my Leaf off season proposal.

Seattle Trades
McCann
CFleury (RFA)
Stephens (AHL)

Toronto Trades
McMann
Kampf
Jarnkrok
McCabe

I also believe they will resign Marner and Tavares and also go hard on signing Marchand and Bennett as character players are lacking on The Leafs imo.
There will be changes no doubt but they aren't going to tear it down either.


Thoughts ?

Marchand never wanted to go there in the 1st place so no chance he goes now and why would sea want 4th liners for mccann.

Laughable they r not resigning either marner or Tavares. Certainly not going to be able to sign both plus Marchand and Bennett ???.

- The fact you think the leafs would even consider re-signing Marner, or that he'd want to re-sign there, shows what you know about even your favourite team.

- The fact that you think the leafs would have the cap space (or the interest) to re-sign Marner & Tavares, and somehow magically sign Bennett & Marchand, shows what you know about the business of hockey.

- The fact you continue to post garbage trade after garbage trade, despite years of feedback saying your trades are absolutely beyond the realm of possibility, shows that you're incapable of intaking information and adjusting.

I have to hand it to you leaf fans. you're the most patient fanbase on the planet. The most overhyped rebuild in hockey yielded two series wins in almost a decade and the most embarrasing Game 7 record in hockey. I honestly don't know how you cheer for a team like that.

Chickenfoot just knows it all lol.
Yes they will resign Marner because teams don't let elite players walk for nothing, I hope you apologize to me on here when Marner and Tavares are resigned.
Cheers.

Nice of the NHL to let us not have a salary cap in your trade and signing scenario. Only way that would be even remotely possible.

We're only going to be able to keep a combo of 2/ 3 of Marner, Tavares, and Knies. My hope is we keep Knies and maybe Tavares if the deal is low enough. We can't afford to pay three guys north of $11mill and fill the rest of the team with 'meh' players. If we want to do any sort of damage in the playoffs our team needs to score by committee and that only happens if you have a deeper, well rounded team.

Ideally we get Knies signed to a Slaf like deal, ideally less would be even better. We move Jarnkrok and Kampf for late draft picks to teams trying to hit the cap floor. Time for some of these AHL guys to get a legitimate look. Leaves the Leafs around around $17mill roughly I believe. Can look to add maybe a bigger name like Boeser, Ehlers, Ekbald under $10mill. Then go after some better depth like Fredric, Granlund, Tanev, etc. Won't be able to sign em all but we'd be a much deeper team going forward if we could add a few of them.

Going to be an interesting off-season.

Pinball…I would be HAPPY to apologize to you if the leafs resign Marner.

Shall I assume you’ll own it if they don’t resign Marner? You’re good for that I assume?

21 May 2025 20:53:15
Chickenfoot yes I am a man of my word if Marner signs elsewhere I wil post an apology to you personally.

22 May 2025 01:36:37
Pinball…an apology is a little dramatic, just own it, that’s all. You post a lot of crazy crap, so if Marner doesn’t re-sign, just give everyone a 2-month break from your posts. I’ll do the same?.

22 May 2025 12:51:35
Deal Chickenfoot.

23 May 2025 03:04:54
Pinball ?.

23 May 2025 18:11:46
Please don't take 2 months off, either of you , this site has lost alot of people over the years. Your guys banter back and forth is good reading at time lol

Anyway.. I think Marner is done in Toronto, I could see Tavares taking a home town discount to stay in Toronto, to retire a Leaf. Bennett to Toronto also sounds realistic, id personally not like that as a Habs fan.
I dont know what it is about the Leafs, but they just don't seem to have any heart..It seems like a bad character team, and they should consider blowing it up and starting over.

@Sosahabs24! the issue is they don't have a genuine drag you through the mud leader that's won on the roster. You need that kind of player to do well, especially when you're in the guts of the game. Bennett checks that bill, but I don't think he leaves Florida. I think Marner is gone. Seems like he's ready for a fresh start and I think the Leafs are as well. The realization that we can't pay three guys north of $10mill and build an effective roster has hopefully sunk in. Tavares brought back on a cheap deal would be alright. 30+ goal scorer, good on the dot, battles hard. His foot speed is an issue obviously tho.

MG loves his team but is never a Homer. Full respect for that. ?.
