If so, it's infuriatingly atrocious asset management.
But that's been the case for years, it's time for change, starting with Shanahan and to be honest Treliving as well, this core has been overpaid from the very start, they just don't work, Reilly is atrocious, Marner and Matthews don't have the drive to be the best, it's time for change it's been long long overdue
 
You know whose fault that would be?

The core's fault. Not any depth additions. It's the core's fault.
They want to blame ANYONE but the $10M+ gang.

I encourage everyone here to look at the playoff scoring leaders for the last 15 years. You see many multiple Cup winners and you will also see the guys near the top of the playoff scoring list are the top dogs you would think. These big salaried stars are paid to perform and they deliver when it matters.
 
Is Tre gonna call Armstrong 50+ times today saying "give me Schenn" and eventually Armstrong will say "OK, you can have him, just stop calling me!"

We're going to manage to swap one of the big 3 prospects for Grebenkin and call it a win.

2026 1st + Cowan + Danford + Grebenkin for Schenn

I'd be sick. Only way I would ever recover is if we went to the final 4 teams at least

Rielly has been amazing in the playoffs, why does everyone pretend that playoffs matter for everyone and then stop when it comes to Rielly?
 
What about the GM? He's supposed to be making the moves to get us better. That's what the atlantic is doing right now, making their teams better in order to go into a deep playoff run.
Oh my God do you honestly think depth pieces (the only things we can afford asset-wise) are going to truly move the needle here?

If we advance it is going to be on the backs of the core and if they can't do it it's time to let it go.

Price on Schenn seems to have come down. I would a 1st and Robertson if we got retention. Nothing more. If there is no deal there, that's fine.

That frugality could be the reason the Leafs don’t get a cup. I hope Tre is of a different mindset.

Could the leafs win a cup and put them selves over the top by adding a force down the middle in Brayden Schenn? Yes.

Is this the best chance to go for it? Absolutely imo

Most of these prospects won’t work out anyways

Time to go for it is now!!
 
I can't see them not doing anything, not with Shanahan's legacy and reputation in the balance.

Also, if Treliving wants to prove he's more than a nepo baby who keeps falling upwards, then doing nothing after a quite uneventful tenure so far isn't really his best move either.

Not ruining a team and saddling them with crippling contracts would be the best thing Tre could do to repair his image. Just go 5 years without spending a 1st to get rid of Monahan so you can sign Kadri until he’s 95 and then watch Montreal get a 1st for Monahan a few months later, and there will be an AGM job waiting for you in Edmonton or wherever else our sloppy seconds usually end up.

With that price we better win the whole goddamn thing.

Our LACK of frugality is the root of why we are in this goddamn mess to begin with.
