Future of the team is incredibly bleak

Put me on the crazy idea train.. but why not trade Matthews and Marner together?

With the cap jumping, there are some teams out there that could theoretically make this happen.

Minnesota has a TON of cap space -- can you get Boldy & Eriksson Ek back along with some futures?

Would Anaheim trade Leo Carlsson & Mason McTavish?

Would Utah trade Hayton, Guenther, and McBain?

How about to LA for Byfield, Kempe & Futures?
I'll ask again, why do people think Byfield is good?

Nah. I'm excited for Tre to drop a nuke on this team.

We have some good pieces and pefully lots of cap space to play with
 
Several other media members have echoed that sentiment + Dorie whose worked in a couple front offices



Absolutely hilarious that we have to watch the Leafs try and compete with others with openly distorted and unfair disciplinary practices

that is why the leafs will never win it is rigged against them
 
No we have no winning opportunity if we are running back 3 to 4 members of the core back

Nylander is a 9.5M player making 11.5M, overpaid by 2M

Matthews is a 10M player making 13.25M, overpaid by 3.25M

Rielly is a 5M player making 7.5M, overpaid by 2.5M

Tavares come playoffs is a 4M player. If we give him 6-7M he wants he is still 2-3M overpaid

Your team come playoffs has ~10M in overpayment for performance for your core 4.

You wont be getting enough key value players who can give you 15M surplus value on their deals to overcome that.
100% this.

Not only do we need players lower in the lineup to make up those discrepancies, they have to greatly exceed it, because you need to be the team that squeezes 105M worth of performance out of your team in the playoffs. Stolarz could play like he's worth 10M, I could see that, but who else??

That’s bullshit. Ray Charles could see that they are built for regular season. A bunch of cream puffs with no heart. Playoff hockey is a whole different animal and they don’t have the gonads to get the job done!
