The Official 2026 Off-Season Thread: Revenge of the Nerds

Losing Minten and our next two first rounders in exchange for a second round pick + Carlo counts as long-term damage in my books too.

We can mitigate that damage by hopefully getting a decent return for Carlo as well as making sure those first rounders end up being late first round picks. But still, that’s a handicap & opportunity cost for our new management.

Still agree with your general point though. We got off light compared to Calgary and fired the failson right in the nick of time.

yeah but Minten and some late 1sts aren't crippling type losses really imo. Like we got a late 1st back for Roy so these kinds of assets are recoupable. Carlo can probably still get us a similar or slightly lower asset back still cuz big.

I'm not saying he didn't do damage tho - he did a ton of damage.

Laine seemed very bullish on himself at today’s presser and because he stayed on LTIR all year, he’s eligible to sign a bonus laden contract as a UFA with a lower base salary

Laine had a -3.9 doms projection coming into the season, before the injury. He's no bueno.

Is that the good attitude you referred to earlier? I feel like he's got a pretty well known bad attitude, which emerged before he was even drafted by shit talking Matthews. Also, the times I saw him play for you the last two years, he can barely move, he's stripped of the puck with ease, and just terrible. Yes, he can stand in that Stamkos spot on the PP, but we have better all around players who can score in more than one way. Hard pass.

He’s probably done. That’s why he can be had for minimum wage

CJ didn’t actually say that. He just said the rumours that he was hired aren’t true, because it was posted by a CJ fake.

“at least at this time, it doesn’t seem like the timing is right to leave his post at the University of Denver so I don’t think he’s factoring in to the final set of interviews that the Leafs are going to go through”

Yeah it was on his podcast.
 
dark times playing for your childhood team being called "a god" (Mitch's words) and making 8 figures

it's like the pit of hell itself opened and swallowed the poor guy up
