TML? More like FML, amirite? Yet Another Off Season Thread



I get the call for Matthews and Tavares etc, but Nick Paul scored the game winner in grade 7. Papetti makes the point above.

Ideally I want a power forward for that first or second line. A big body that plays a hard game in the corners. (you know what we thought Nick Ritchie was to be)

Trade Kerfoot, Let Mikheyev go.
Keep Engvall because I think he can still improve.
He had a great playoffs, but I'd lose Muzzin.
Try to resign Gio to a reasonable price and have him on the third pair
Sandin and Lilly are staples. See if Muzzin gets you a younger defenseman.
Trade Mrazek and send with a pick to just make it go away.

If you trade Nylander (not saying I want to) but if you could use that money and Muzzin's money to see what Filip Forsberg would want.
Other notable UFA's that if you can get for cheap with the Kerfoot, Muzzin, Mrazek savings for some size.
Radulov
Nino Niedereiter
Burakovsky
Perron
Statsny
Copp
Nichuskin
Nick Paul is also a UFA
Watching E. Kane play big for Edmonton hurts a bit. Fuck Culture.. Him on line 2 or 1 would pay dividends in the playoffs.

I'd want one big defenseman... wonder what Gudbranson would get
and would anyone balk if PK came on a 700K deal to play with JT and the boys?

If you can get rid of Mrazek, I wonder what Korpisalo would cost as a UFA?
 
Yeah… the most compelling storytelling relies on emotions.

Save your facts and numbers for your boring ass documentary
 
Wouldn’t mind them putting the C on Matthews this off-season - make it his team.
That needs to be done. It's not sending Tavares a message, it's sending them all a message that their play cost him the C.
 
Just based on what I read here since I haven't watched many Leaf games lately, maybe what the team needs are Gary Roberts on the payroll. He may scare them into winning a round or two instead of living in a van down by the river. 😱

That kind of shit effects more than just the 2 players in question… no way everyone would be cool with that for a bunch of different reasons. Hell, I doubt that keefe, Dubas and shanny would agree with doing that
 
Would not shock me if Matthews walks in 2 years as well


I've always figured that the Leafs' best chance to avoid this was for this team to have enough playoff success (and hopefully win a Cup before his current deal is up) so that there would be very little to tempt him into leaving. So, well, fuck....
 
“The bottom line is there were eight teams with over 100 points in the Eastern Conference,” said Cooper. “Three of them went to Game 7s and one was the Presidents’ Trophy (winner), who went to overtime and had to battle back to win their series. And that’s how even it was. So there was going to be four teams with 100-plus points that were going to be out in the first round and fortunately for us we weren’t one of them, but it took everything to knock these guys out.”

It's been done before.
