Like to see Timmins on the #1 PP. Pretty sure he has a good slap shot we haven't seen yet.
 
Timmins is proving to be one of Kyle's better moves. Early days, but if he can remain healthy, and I really hope he can, he offers the Leafs a very intriguing player. As an RFA he's pretty much cost controlled for a couple more years, or can be used in a trade/part of a package for a player to be determined.

*2nd on D for P/GP
*1st on D for PPP/60
*1st on D for ESP/60
*1st on D for P/60

Again, early days, can he stay healthy? I can see him regressing a bit (this has really been best case scenario stuff), but his ability to see the ice and make the good pass in the O zone is impressive. We don't have a 2nd round pick this year, but if he remains healthy, what is the draft pick equivalent to his play? If management sees him improving, does he make Niemela available?

Florida, Vancouver, Ottawa, and others are teams that will need cost controlled young D next year and CT is proving he can play in this league. I am not arguing that the Leafs trade him, but I do think he's becoming a player of some value where the Leafs can use that value if they so choose. Keefe has indicated that Timmins is out for the next game. I'd be looking at rotating him in and out to hopefully solidify his value to another team or determine that he is a part of our future.
 
He can be Holl's replacement next year. You don't want him playing and putting up big numbers this year if you want to sign him cheap next year. Could they give him an extension right now if they wanted? He's a RFA in July anyway so good problem to have. Too promising to trade him.

agreed and tes they can, they need to sign him to maybe a 2 or 3 year deal worth somewhere above his RFA price at 1.2m or so if possible. I'd also gets talks going with Holl just to see where he's at as far as expectations of a dollar amount. If Holl wants anything above anything that starts with a 3 than he becomes a piece at the deadline if there's any deals to be made say with Chicago

Holl + Kerfoot + Voit + Abruzzese

Athanasiou + C. Jones + PK + Vlasic or Regula + Chicago 2nd 2023

obviously PK is going to play with JT and MM

Athansiou big fast and will help make the bottom 6 one of the best in the league, he's never really found his NHL niche and he's upcoming UFA

AA - Kampf - IronHook
ZAR - Punch - Engvall

Caleb Jones young Dman who can play in the bottom 4 but ideally suited for the 5/6 and can be qualified this summer at 1.5 or so but is arbitration eligible

both Vlasic and Regula are big mobile dmen 6'6" and 6'4" respectively and could be ready for NHL service in a year or two

Yes it kinda sucks giving up Voit and Abruzzese, but essentially the Leafs get that missing piece upfront and a bottom 6 that will stand with the leagues best and some future pieces as I don't think the Leafs will re-sign Kane nor AA the Chicago 2nd is for taking on all that money

PK as in Patrick Kane? You’re going to need a whole lot more than that package to acquire him lol

Seriously, you do not want him to put up big numbers this year.
Stanley Cup or bust

PK goes where PK wants to go, but he's not the 100 point PK anymore that you might be thinking of and he still gets paid a lot of money for a guy that might not hit 60 points this year. He controls his future and if he wants to play out the string in Chicago and go to Buffalo as a UFA then he will. If he thought the Leafs would be interested he would have his agent working to make the deal happen(only of course if the league wants it)! That said Patrick Kane grew up a Sabres fan and has a real healthy dislike for all things Leaf.

The allure of Toronto for him however is getting to play with either AM or MM and JT and a real possibility of another ring, believe it or not the Leafs are that good and PK really completes the picture up front. I mean god bless Jarnkrok he's doing a great job, but I don't think he's a guy other teams obsess over in how to defend him That possible extra ring for Kane sets him up to sell himself as a real difference maker and proven winner which could be worth another year and XXm more dollars on a 5, or even 6 year deal in his hometown although he'd probably want to sell his Chicago condo and find a new house on Lake Erie.
 
Injuries have slowed his development but you can see why he went in the first round. Hopefully he stays healthy and keeps this up.

He was actually the first pick in the second round, but still very highly touted obviously.

His value also jumped after being drafted. Had a great WJC tournament and OHL season before the injuries started, where at the time he was being talked about as a big steal in the 2nd round.

The guy has always had some pretty legitimate potential. If we can keep finding ways to get him ice time, I think we may have lucked into young RHD who can play top 4 minutes for us going forward as Holl likely leaves, Brodie/Gio get older, etc.

Dude has good vision and the hands to make a pass. That sauce to Marner in the O-zone was slick. Too bad Marner flubbed it though haha.

People forget he was a high scoring D back in OHL and AHL
No reason why can't produce given opportunties

Been a pleasent surprise so far

Good dude. Credit Dubas.

Great pick up.
As much as a i s***T on Dubas, he has acquired some great supporting players
Spezza, Gio, Kampf and Timmins

It's the key ones he really dropped the ball on
