Can't see them using their last retention spot on Bunting if that's the return, bigger fish to fry

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Bunting has another year. No thanks from Pittsburgh on that retention for that return.

Leafs need to save their assets to address the middle of the ice. Someone ideally with term who can be 3C this run and take over 2C next year

Honestly, to me it's really just Kampf's deal that is the issue here. I'd consider it more if you made it something like:

Penguins trade Bunting at 50% and Puljujarvi
Leafs trade Jarnkrok, Robertson, 2025 2nd and 2026 3rd

But I also like Jarnkrok and would be willing to gamble on him even with his recent surgery. Adding on Kampf's remaining 3 year deal is an absolute killer that I'd want compensated for, but taking it out makes it more easy to stomach.

2C with term that Tor can fit with their 1 mill in cap space.

Sounds like a VERY expensive piece

Also, if Jarnkrok, Kampf and Robertson are the type of assets you want to use to acquire said piece, yikes

 

[Golden_Jet]

Don’t see the Penguins doing that trade.

Just give us Robertson, a 2nd and a 4th and I'm fine with it.

 

[ITM]

No to a 2nd for Bunting.

Mirtle said the Leafs didn't have a single conversation about an extension in Toronto when he was an UFA. Granted that was pre-Tre but I think he wore out his welcome here.

 

[SEALBound]

No to the OP proposal with the biggest issue being too many roster players coming back to Pittsburgh. We can't take on 3 roster players.

Bunting for Robertson+Jarnkork+3rd might be more realistic.

Might be because of the leafs not having the 4.5 million in cap he ended up getting, from the 1.9 he was on.
Wasn’t it during the flat cap or 1 million cap increases /year, that he signed also.

I count cap space as assets too. I am saying there is no room to add Bunting. Save the cap space and assets for what you need to do. Leafs have lots of good prospects as they have had for years before. Cowan, Danford, Grebenkin, Minten, Chadwick, 1st 2026 I've just listed several A prospects varying from almost NHL ready to a few years away. They have assets to make deals.
