[KingSarcasm] Nothing certain but the Leafs might sign Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck. Matt Martin on a PTO. There will be a trade coming. Could be 2-3 of Robertson, Jarnkrok, and Kampf traded. (trade info from tweet replies)

Obviously very skeptical of this but this guy legitimately broke 2 Blue Jays signings 2-3 days before they were official or any MLB insiders had even mentioned the Jays were involved with the players. [Here’s him breaking the Kiermaier news 4 days before official and 2 days before anyone else had it](https://x.com/HavokAndrew/status/1738966481952505934) and here are [2 posts](https://www.reddit.com/r/Torontobluejays/comments/18s3js5/kingsarcasma_close_source_has_indicated_that/) about the [IKF signing days before anyone else.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Torontobluejays/comments/18rnj4n/king_sarcasm_going_back_to_the_pending_signing_it/) I don’t know if he has legit Leafs sources but thought it was at least relevant to post.
Clutterbuck would be a valuable pest
Reaves-Clutterbuck-Martin
They might score a combined 15 goals, but that’ll be the line nobody wants to mess with.
Clutterbuck is the exact 4th liner they’ve needed for a long time. Would’ve been even better in his prime, but he’s still a demolition truck at 36.
Might as well see what Colton Orr and Mike Brown are up to while we’re at it.
Who is coming back on the trade? That seems like the bigger deal.
Leafs needed Martin and Clutterbuck 4 years ago, not now. They need speed on the 4th line.
No more dubas bottom 6
It is definitely getting very crowded.
* Knies – Matthews – Marner
* McCann – Tavares – Nylander
* Holmberg – Domi – Jarnkrok
* Dewar – Kampf – Reaves
That is with Robertson not signed, potentially Cowen getting a spot, some depth guys fighting for spots like Abruzzese/Stevees/Pare and someone like Alex Nylander on PTO having a chance too.
Wouldn’t mind bringing in one of those guys, but both seem redundant
Still feel like trading Robertson would be a huge mistake given we need depth scoring and he has no leverage.
36 years old, 35 years old, Tanev 34 years old. Does Treliving think the window is only open for 1-2 more years?
if they trade away jarnkrok to sign one of those two guys to play every day, that’s retarded
I don’t love Jarnkrok and Kampf, but I think it’s fair to say they’re probably less of a liability than these two.
Having said that I’d have a lot of fun watching a 4th line of Reaves, Clutterbuck, and Martin.
Some of my fav hockey was when we had Orr and McLaren. Nothing better than beating a team on the scoreboard then kicking their ass.

Ah yes, because this team needs more aging depth players who can’t score because they’re “gritty”.
Seems like a massive waste of time.
I’m all for Mitchy reunion with his Matt Martin hero. They can admit the bromance and GET// IT// ON!!!
