Thread: Tavarotomy

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Can there be a worse thought that Tavares waives to a last place team.
You can put M NTC Jarnkork and Kampf in the same situation. No motivation for these players to San Jose on their trade lists.</div></div>

yes there is. it's a second high lottery pick

Thread: Marnesota

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>The Leafs aren't trading him. There are maybe 3 actual leaf fans who are having tempter tantrums and wanting to trade JT. It's not happening. He'll sign an extension with a major pay cut this summer. You guys are just taking the most extreme nonsense and blanketing everyone into the same group so you can attack and call leaf fans dumb.

A) JT isn't being traded

<a href="/users/Rip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Rip</a> we'll hold you to that. because $40 million dollars in four forwards is not a structural problem for a hockey team - right?
teams win, not talent concentrated in one skill set (creating offense, except during playoffs)</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>The CBA was amended after the Brooks Orpik trade to CO. CO bought Orpik out and he re-signed with the Caps at a lower salary. That loophole got closed with the last CBA addendum three seasons ago. A player who gets traded in the off season and then gets bought out can't resign with the team that traded him for one season. JT can't be bought out this off season and re-sign w/ the Leafs until 7/1/25.</div></div>

correct

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyCaballero</b></div><div>CBA: For one season following a compliance buyout, players are not permitted to rejoin the team which performed the buyout (this restriction does not exist for normal buyouts).
this means Tavares could not sign a contract with Chicago</div></div>

other CBA info: A buyout can only be performed on a player who was on the clubs reserve list at 3:00pm on the most recent trade deadline
this rule would not permit Chicago to buy out Tavares in the off season.

So Leafs need to find a trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BusterZXD</b></div><div>Lets trade a 90 point winger for a 4 point D man who sucks! Great idea.</div></div>

maybe you think the Leafs have leverage in this situation?
that's not what this is. Leafs are at a disadvantage. Getting anything they need in return + cap space is a win
not every team has the room to take on his salary, and Marner's destination list will be limited - waiving his NMC will come with some conditions

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>You can probably get Chicago to take Tavares for cheap, they'd just play him at 2C to mentor the kids, it'll tide them over until next off season where there's a much stronger UFA class to go spending on.

Thread: Marnathon

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nightowl26</b></div><div>Not that it's a bad offer or anything. But the isles are not interested in Marner for a few reasons

1. only 1 year left at 10.9M
2. We don't have cap space
3. From what I heard from Toronto media, he wants a new deal at 12M-12.5M for 7 or 8 years. - NO THANK YOU.</div></div>

please get out your old Rolling Stones vinyl. regarding Marner's contract ask...."You Can't Always Get What You Want"
BTW Leafs could do a sign & trade, and maybe Lou could make the Leafs eat Engvall's contract in return lol

Thread: Righties ii

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Tampa Bay easily declines. No chance they include Schmidt in a trade for Brodie. If the Leafs can get a 2nd for Brodie without retaining, they should jump for joy. I'm not even sure Tampa gives up the 2bd for Brodie, but that would be the max.

Hawks probably accept though. But Crevier is nowhere near ready to play on the 3rd pair of a playoff team.</div></div>

Leafs are nothing like a playoff team, so no worries there

Meh. He’s not playing when everyone is healthy. He’s not playing over Petro, Theo or whitecloud

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VGKNation702</b></div><div>We’re not moving KK for another defenseman.</div></div>

i don't see KK as a factor in an immediate Cup run (and the Leafs are not near one). Brodie on the other hand, as a 5 or 6D would strengthen an already great defense corps

Thread: Tre Bigger than that

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fail4Nail</b></div><div>Awesome, you've made them worse. Kostin is a fourth line player you have playing on the first line. And that defense...shesh what a train wreck.</div></div>

people had similar comments about Semenko and McSorley oddly Gretzky and Kurri didn't mind having them on the same ice.
People like Klostin make people like Marner taller. and the space around them wider.
The problem is legit pushback with wheels. something the Leafs do not have and failed to do against the Panthers in round 2

AM34 will not be in his prime forever
Leafs need D now and a legit 2nd line center to replace Tavares, who is showing his age

Thread: what do these guys take

how about zero? Leafs should be in sell mode for RFA players with term remaining on contract
Tanev can be had for cash this summer.
I don't see the Leafs going far in the playoffs, too many nonproducing forwards - not producing offence or defense at the critical moments in games. And the existing D corp is suspect
