Thread: 2023-2024 NHL Discussion Thread #6: The Quest for Lord Stanley's Cup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WJC_Enthusiast</b></div><div>I know we're still early in the offseason, but since this site is closing in a few days, here are 8 hot takes for the 2024-25 NHL season:

1-After losing Monahan, Toffoli, Dillon and not really improving the roster, the Jets miss the playoffs
2-After losing Montour, OEL, Stolarz and Lomberg, the Panthers may the playoffs as a Wild Card teaam
3-Elias Lindholm proves everyone wrong about the deal, scores 25 goals and 80 points and is nominated for the Selke
4-Lindy Ruff proves he still has it and leads a very young Sabres team to a 100 points season
5-Alexis Lafrenière becomes a PPG player
6-I don't really believe this one, but this is a hot take so who cares, the Leafs, powered by Berube, a rejuvenated PP, OEL, Tanev and Stolarz, win the President's Trophy
7-Everyone adjusts to them and the Canucks make the playoffs as a Wild Card team
8-The Devils, boosted by the return of Hamilton, a new coach, a new goalie, Dillon, Pesce and Noesen, finish 10 points above their nearest challenger in the Metro</div></div>

I would love if 6 happens…

And before you say anything, it’s not like they’ve done anything in the playoffs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AnonymousSensFan</b></div><div>You think Utah will give it back for a 5th? Lol, they will rake you over the coals.

In any case, if Toronto can "make it work", why can't Edmonton?

Fans living in fantasy land that their GM's will make an offer sheet, screwing over other teams. That whole Montreal/Carolina offer sheet situation is exactly why they don't happen. Can't imagine a GM that resisgns Matt Murray is smart to begin with</div></div>

That’s usually the going rate for retention and the move up a couple picks in the draft in the 2nd round, so that’s the reasoning for the 5th, Utah gets an additional 5th as compensation like they would for retention

Difference is, Toronto can send down Murray (875k)+Timmins(1.1 mill)+Webber(875K), all 3 expected to be in the minors anyway and they can sign Dewar, that and a Jarnkrok trade (whom is likely getting traded anyway as he isn’t a “Berube” or “Treliving” player) gives them enough cap to offersheet Holloway with nobody they still need to sign, EDM signs that and they are 5.6 mill over the cap (5.5 less if they dump Kane, which still puts them over the cap) and they still need Broberg to sign (whom will likely get 1.4-1.6 mill himself)…

I can’t imagine you’d understand this, however, because you don’t understand the point of signing a cheap 3rd goalie with experience in case of injuries, you’d rather throw a young goalie to the wolves instead…

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AnonymousSensFan</b></div><div>1. Ah yes, Toronto, the team known to be flush with cap space every year.

2. Toronto cap even have success against Eastern teams in the playoffs, let alone western teams.

3. Most importantly, Toronto does not have their own 2nd round pick in 2025 draft, and therefore, your offer sheet is invalid. Can't use another team's pick, for obvious reasons.</div></div>

Toronto can make it work, EDM is already over the cap, before a Broberg or Holloway deal.. Holloway at 3.2 would mean EDM would need to move out more cap than just Kane to match and stay under, not even factoring in Broberg

Toronto does well va West teams, like Florida+NYR+BOS+other eastern teams… but why would you bother with that? It doesn’t fit your narrative

I don’t think you actually looked at what this ACGM is then, what was the 2nd trade? It was Toronto acquiring their own pick back to use…

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Laudan</b></div><div>Just in like 65% ( but homers cant understand that and i bet he was main Dubas advocat also when he was in arm-chair, doing everything better than anyone in NHL )

As much as Dubarelli fcked up the whole franchise by a single cave to Captain Underpants 5 x 11,634M, at least he was good at recruiting cheap and effective FAs and he was showing good effort understanding what Bear Bryant said is true.....sadly he, the same as 103 TML homers on this site saw Holl as top pair D and that cost him the health of the best Dman he was able to bring over.

+ any Goalie with the upside turned into pile of misery under his reign, but this comes in the package with good D once again,....</div></div>

It wasn’t the Matthews deal that screwed the Leafs… It’s the Casper the Ghost deal…
