This summer Marner should be getting briefed on how to get penalized for roughing
Cowan would be better in the line up than Robertson. However another year in the O would be best for his development long term.
Robertson is not a great player he is okay offensively as a shooter but not a great playmaker, weak on the forecheck, a defensive liability and way to small for the play offs. I wish him well but he's never goingbto be a star.
Sprong would be a nice add in the bottom 6.
Nick Cousins, Alex Nylander as a Reclamation project
I think a lot of Leaf fans (and TML) really just don’t want to acknowledge that an NHL team with 55 Million (of only 88 million total allowed money) into 5 players simply will not work due to the small remainder being left to make up remaining 17 players (approx)
I mean, It’s ridiculous to even suggest that it would work.
And McDavid is not a good example of why the team considers it because he’s an anomaly, incomparable freak of nature.
Some of the blueprints are in Toronto’s very own division, yet management could never see it despite playing against these very teams multiple times a season.
All I wanted was Zadorov and Debrusk.
Having said that, our defence is definitely better today than it was 3 days ago
Robertson should not be traded.
1. Our secondary scoring is an issue. He should help with that
2. We won’t get anything in return. Maybe a 3rd round pick? If we’re lucky a prospect of similar potential but that is unlikely.
There’s a new bench boss. There’s no reason to think that Berube won’t have him in the lineup every night as long as he’s contributing and playing hard.

I'd give Tre a B+ that can turn to an A with a forward deal
Robertson Is too weak!!! Let him go
If Cowan can play you play him, same with Minten. Think if MTL treated Caufield that way, that he was too young. Cole joined MTL in 2021 when he was 20, and many more examples exist. The NHL is much younger, but the Leaf brass mindset is 1980's hockey. Not to mention Leaf fans banter, "We need young talent…", and also Leaf fans "They are too young, they need to play AHL or return to juniors".
These 4 adds are not going to move the needle much. They did get bigger and nastier but are they better to the point that they can get passed the 2nd round or the ultimate goal to win the cup? They are technically running this back again. This is what happens when the core 5 take up 61.6% of your cap. They did what they could with the cap space they had. The problem here is that it's probably not enough. Marner needs to agree to a move for this needle to really move.
From rumors that leafs to sign F James Van Riemsdyk and F Matt Martin to 1 year at 775k aav deals and F Sammy Blais 2 year two way contract at 850k aav and from trade rumor today that leafs trying to aquire F Boone Jenner 50% Retained and maybe RD Erik Gudbranson at 50%retained from Blue jackets if true or not we will see?
Move Reeves, Move Timmins , Trade for Brandon Tanev with 50% retained , sign a vetern depth centre…. Boom thats a team!
The leafs have a habit of letting their prospects sit in the minors and hindering their career, Kadri and Robertson as examples…bring Cowan up, he’s dominating the minors
Toronto needs big forwards period get rid of the little people NHL is rough game
Trade kampf jarnkrok and Reaves for picks as a cap dump, use a a pick to trade for laine on 50% retained, then also make another trade for Brandon tanev, sign janmark and Alex nylander, for bottom 6, then trade marner and minten to Vegas for barbashev and karlsson
Barb-Matty-Willy
Laine-Karlsson-Domi
Tanev-Tavares-Janmark
Nylander-Dewar-McMann
Reilly-Tanev
OEL-Liligren
Jani-McCabe
Woll
Stolarz
Love the defence lines you posted Lol
McCabe – Benoit on your 3rd pairing??
Without your “3rd pair” the Leafs wouid have been out 4 straight last playoffs v any of Boston, Florida, Tampa
Tanev is here to play against the more difficult forwards assignments (just like McCabe is) and Reilly’s proven he isnt physically capable of that type of assignment.
There is already no cap room so who are we trading to open up cap room?
Why would Robertson ask for a trade when Bert just left? Better opportunity than ever to make this team. The kid thinks he's more than he is. He's a tweener. Accept it till you push through.
can we PLEASE not resign captain robot???!!!
Foolish to trade Nick Robertson. They have to get him up on the top 2 lines. You have to like his effort. Up until last year he has only played 38 games in a season due to injuries. We need the goals. Minten probably starts in the Ahl.
.. Trade for .. Kasperi Kapanen . He's Only 1 Million Bucks a year . He would Only cost a pick .
Domi on the 1st Line Knies on the 2nd Line McMann on the 3rd Line would be better
If they can make 4 even lines every line can play 15 minutes that's how this coach like to run his line the minutes will be more even then keef did
Dont think marner will get signed but he wont be gone before the season starts
