What’s Next For The Toronto Maple Leafs This Offseason? Trades Coming?
In this video, I go over what’s next for the Toronto Maple Leafs to do this offseason using advanced stats and salary cap analysis to break it all down
Leafs are handcuffed by Marner. We are losing good players that wanted a slight pay bump to keep. Another first round knock out. I wouldn’t mind if they missed the playoffs this year
It's simple let minten and Cowan prove their it activating them both will cost like 1.6 ruffly were sending out liljgreen kampf and jarnkrok gives u 6 mill to play with
Love the vid! I’m wondering which prospects you think will crack the leafs lineup this/next season? Beside Cowan and Minten, I feel excited about Jacob Quillan and Cade Webber. I think their NCAA performances are promising and could potentially fill holes lower in the lineup for cheap in the near future.
Only way I consider taking on a pricey Ross Colton is too rid ourselves of a pricey Liljegren. Otherwise no way I’d go near that willingly. Colorado would still save a million in cap space. But I have a feeling we’d jus be looking to offload him in a years time. Also I’m not sure how it’s possible to be a -8 for 2022-23 Tampa and a -8 for 2023-24 Avalanche….
Leafs wont make it to round two again more then likely with the same 5 still back after 8 fricken seasons of failure , nothing will change until tavares and marner are gone the amount of cap space could really shape this team in ways it has not in 8+ years
It’s unfortunate that management says major changes are coming and it seems that it’s only a coaching change. Oh well. I’m hoping Berube can light a fire under the core 4’s asses, especially Marner. Not holding my breath on that one tho
Offer Marner the same deal as Nylander. Marner can sit on the bench until he accepts it. Leafs can't afford more and if he doesn't want it, he'd walk for nothing anyway.
Downtown SB. Dubas screwed up the team for years now. They have no picks and locked in bad contracts with aNMCs. This team won’t win unless does complete rebuild.
Marner needs to be traded. Period. Too much money tied up in a winger who can't will himself to the net, can't carry play in the playoffs and made zero difference on the PP during the playoffs. Leaf fans need to fed up with the regular season points extravaganza and then the guaranteed struggle getting out of round 1.
I would LOVE for the leafs to bring Kase back. He said he wanted to come back and hopefully he could stay healthy but that is a name no one seems to be talking about remaining in free agency
I like the thought of acquiring Boone Jenner he is a better version of david kampf without trading minten. When minten is ready to be the 3rd line centre Boone could play wing cheaper then Ross Colton better penalty killer great character good on face offs the only thing more perfect is if he was right handed
replace Jarnkrok with Cowan that would give us more space.
Laughton or Jenner were my picks but Colton is a decent choice as well to be honest considering he might not cost us much. JT has gotta be a 3C or a winger.
Our defense is better than last year but its still a pretty bad blue line. We didnt really fix the root issues with our blueline we just gave it some nicer complimentary pieces. We need another true top pair can do it all defender.
Just a good thought after the whole Brian Burke thing why not move nylander, kampf,liljgren,Robertson to buffalo Owen power , Jack Quinn , peyton Krebs, Activate minten, Cowan for 1.7 million sign Quinn long term qualify Krebs extend market 12 aav x6 Tavares 4×5 Opinions?? I think it could be intriguing at the very least
Knies 15 goals, domi 9 goals is pretty thin for a first line .both of them did not show me any reason why they should be consider as top 6. Maybe on a weak team but not on an aspiring cup contenter.
I completely agree the need a 3C. We may need to move salary though as Dewar has Arb rights and Robertson if signing will likely be 1.5. Few options I was thinking:
CBJ. Boone Jenner SJS Nico Sturm Flyers: Scott Laughton
However don't think this year going to be any better when 53% cap is in the top 4. And will be very annoyed if marner walks. Dubas created so much privilage giving them nmc final year and over paying based of future cap not having 7 to 8 year contracts.

Awesome analysis but too may what if variables. We'll just have to wait and see.
Sorry but no arbitrator would ever give Liljegren 3-4M. this is a guy who gets scratched every year in playoffs. even 3M was a significant overpayment
This is basically the same roster as last season, and the year before that, and the year before that. So it’s fair to expect similar results.
It's simple let minten and Cowan prove their it activating them both will cost like 1.6 ruffly were sending out liljgreen kampf and jarnkrok gives u 6 mill to play with
Frost would fit like a glove

They should sign Alex Nylander
Huge leafs fan but im afraid the sens look way grittier than the leafs at the moment,
The only player im trading marner for is Brady tkachuk or anthony cirelli

How is Reilly a $7.5 million defenseman on which planet
"What's next for the maple leafs?" Cup
Why can’t Pontus Holmberg play center?
Trade Marner
Frosts' salary helps with Cap.

I would like the Leafs to trade for Jack McBain from Utah he is big has some skill is young cheap and could easily be traded for.

sign Quinn long term qualify Krebs extend market 12 aav x6 Tavares 4×5
Opinions??

Marner can auto correct **
Max Domi will start the season with Matthews on right wing.
Knies 15 goals, domi 9 goals is pretty thin for a first line .both of them did not show me any reason why they should be consider as top 6. Maybe on a weak team but not on an aspiring cup contenter.
Trading for Brayden Schenn would be a good 3rd line cntre. We would need St Louis or a 3rd team to eat some of his cap.
