Speculation: 2024 Off-season Team Discussion

[DustyDangler]

Perhaps, but BA is under no pressure to keep little Doan now. Remember, outside of AZ, Shane has the rep of a good player w great character, but certainly not a legend. No fan pressure in SLC to keep Josh

9 points in his first 11 NHL games in only 12mins a game is pressure to keep Josh.

Such puppy love! Doan’s cup of coffee makes him an excellent piece to trade by puffing up his value.

Yes, he "puffed up" his value, as good a reason as any to keep him.

 

[Schemp]

Yes, he "puffed up" his value, as good a reason as any to keep him.

He ain't even close to finishing "puffing up" his value too. Probably will be loyal to the club where he knows that in his next contracts he'll be willing to leave money on the table... and in the cap world that's how your team gets to the next level!

Doan is a BA type player through and through. He's not going anywhere.

 

[FinnishCoyote]

Doan seems like he will be an ideal playoff player.

I wouldn't want to trade him without substancial overpay coming back to us

 

[Jakey53]

IDK, because he's a little runt and we already have some?

Well, how about we trade one of those other "little runts?"

 

[Jakey53]

Told ya he's a goner. Off to Ottawa.

Yup, for a big slow Russian. Go figure. Mind you, Jenik never has shown he belongs.

Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner 'Would Go to 4 Teams' in Trade: Report

"Pagnotta, however mentioned two franchises that will not land Marner in a trade: the Utah Hockey Club and the San Jose Sharks."

This makes the Marner to Utah rumors look bogus.

 

[Mosby]

Good chance that Treliving does even worse on a Marner trade than he did with the Tkachuk/Huberdeau mega blunder.

 

[rt]

So you want a 100 point player on the cheap? You have a rich owner. Front load the contract so there’s more space when the home grown talent want their money.

Salary cap. I absolutely do NOT want Mitch Marner. You can’t win with Mitch Marner. He’s the opposite of a playoff player and he’s going to eat up such a huge percentage of your cap that you can’t surround him with winners. Building the foundation on your team on a player likely this is beyond foolish. He’s soft and shifting sands.

Doan is a BA type player through and through. He's not going anywhere.

Meanwhile Mitch Marner is the furthest thing imaginable from a BA type player.

This is the correct opinion.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Well, we’ll probably never know. I sure wouldn’t give up Keller for Marner, and if TO won’t budge then they can kick rocks. However, he puts us in the playoffs w his 100 points. Soft and little, but 100 points. We will be a big team even if he does join the club.

5M in cap space until Treliving turns it into magic beans. I think he's in the convo for bottom 5 GM with Adams, Blake, Lamoriello, Grier, Francis, etc. It's like Toronto doesn't even have a plan. They're just trying to fit random pieces together.

I seem to recall you being so happy AZ picked BA over Zito and wanting Holland fired as well. How can Treliving have a plan when biggest money pieces can't be moved?? Maybe the plan is tread water for a year until you have ability to act.

 

[rt]

I think all of this is moot. If Toronto wanted to free up cap space by moving Marner, they’d have done it BEFORE July 1st.

I think Marner is in full control and he intends to use that control. He has shown at every negotiation how much confidence he has. Personally I avoid him as he is a great player but he isn't double digits contract great.

Not an Oilers fan so I don't care what they do/did with Holland. Treliving has only added more big money pieces.

So does mean you are a Leafs fan as you sure seem to care about what they do?? Or just a Treliving fanboy? Did you think he could try to improve D without spending money? That seems like a big ask.

 

[Mosby]

We know who the Leafs fanboy here is.

They seem to bother you far more than they do me

 

[Mosby]

I'm in Toronto. I'm inundated with Leafs talk daily.

I think Treliving is making the same mess in Toronto as he did Calgary. Toronto did themselves a disservice by only talking to one candidate when their GM spot was open.

But getting this back to Utah, I think it's moot. Marner is too expensive cap wise and he's not a fit with what GMBA envisions.

Grier moved Burns, EK and Hertl. Treliving is just lazy and not creative

Yeah I'm sure they all wanted to stay in SJ?? And how did SJ look after those trades?
