My Treliving roleplay this off-season

I kind of broke my own rule on this, I originally had Tyler Myers signed because I believe Treliving likes larger defense but I also know from that Klingberg signing, he wants more offense on the back end. I think Forsling will actually give a bit of that in a secondary type role, a surprisingly accurate point shot is there.

Monahan is a nice 3rd line centre, I did consider someone like Wennberg because they're more durable but not sure there is enough money to answer all the roster's problems.

Goaltending, I also debated someone like Talbot for 1 year at 1.5-2M but figured we know Jones fits with the group currently.

I also think a few people would argue for Liljegren over Schneider but again, roster will be more in Treliving's vision.

Bertuzzi has had a down year, so the 5M x 4 years is probably questionable.

Trenin, not sure if he can get more on the open market but he's young enough that I don't mind giving a bit of term, keeps us gritty too.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Keep the first unless a true upgrade with term is available. Move Robertson and bring up Steeves. Sign Tanev and/or Pesce in the offseason. Maybe McLeod if he comes cheaper than Domi.

Steeves has been a worse NHLer than Robertson while being older and worse in the AHL. Robertson is scoring at a 40 point pace with 10 minutes of ice time a game and little power play time. I have no idea why people are clamouring to move him.

Kampf + Reaves + 3rd to Columbus for Peeke

Columbus has a problem on their hands. They got several defenders in the pipeline who are NHL ready but no open roster spots. On top of that, they are already benching surplus D like Peeke.

They need to deal more than one defender just to semi-balance the roster.

Kampf at least regularly plays so he less of a negative than Peeke at this point. And burying Reeves costs you 200,000 a year. So its like a 2.6 M Kampf vs. a 2.75 M Peeke. Where Kampf would actually play for them.

I actually don't think you need to even add a pick to make this trade happen.

Good effort, overall. However, mine would be a fair bit different.

Like the Forsling signing, though, I feel he'll come in higher, unfortunately.

 

[LeafParade]

I'd rather bring in Fabrro, he'd cost more but he's played very well with Josi so he's somebody we can try with Mo and there's less questions about what he is

Fabbro is interesting because he is RFA. Which means you can pay him based on how he performs from now until the end of the season with the Leafs. He is less of a risk in this regard.

Moreover, he has quite a bit of a track record playing on the top pair with good D. So if this gamble pays off, you have a cheap partner for Reilly.

I am not sure how willing they will be to deal him now that it looks like they have permanently benched Barrie. This puts Fabbro firmly on their 1st pairing going forward.

 

[BallardEra]

I would love to see Nic Dowd on this team come playoffs.

 

[Legion34]

Marner next, whatever He wants he’ll get.

12.9x 4 is my guess.

I wonder if he actually decides that the media scrutiny is too much and he actually takes the will number to try to appease the fans

Or 8/93 to get to his junior number

 

[SprDaVE]

I would love to see Nic Dowd on this team come playoffs.

Pretty underrated. I agree. 2nd in faceoffs for the Caps and top PK forward. He does have a contract for next year, 1.3M on the cap, so he's not overly expensive to fit in.

I like Dowd too

No Myers. He hasn't done much since Winnipeg. Looking at his stats made me think of Logan Stanley though. A nice bookend for Benoit on the third pair. I remember a couple of years ago when Calgary had Zadorov and Gudbranson as a pairing. You'd expect them to get burned all the time but the sheer wingspans made them hard to pass and getting crushed in front of the net helped keep players out of the dirty areas.

I quite like players like Dilllon and Demelo but the Leafs need to look for guys like these when they were still on the Sharks making $900k. Who are the current versions?

 

[nuck]

No. They will bring him in around $12.5 because everyone's comp is Matthews For a guy who had such a slumpy first half Marner could still take a run at 100pts. He will be a tough sign I think.

 

[Evilhomer]

Marner next, whatever He wants he’ll get.

12.9x 4 is my guess.

Whatever it is, it will definitely be more than $11.5.

 

[PromisedLand]

Get Phil Kessel as a UFA signging and don't throw away assets. Whatever happens after that happens

 

[Dragao6]

Get Phil Kessel as a UFA signging and don't throw away assets. Whatever happens after that happens

But doesn’t the fact that next year we basically have no cap room to do anything mean we will prob be aggressive this year to try and win??

 

[Menzinger]

Get Phil Kessel as a UFA signging and don't throw away assets. Whatever happens after that happens

Few things would make me happier than having him retire a Leaf. I get the feeling Shanny isn't the biggest fan though

We basically need to overhaul

Defense
Goal Tending
bottom 6

Thats too much to do at TDL; IMO. We also don't have many assets, Dubas has run us dry.

As a betting man; what would you bet how the Leafs would do in post season? Personally; I'd add Kessel on the 3rd line to get a bit more offense as a free wallet instead of throwing away picks and a 4th liner that is fast and can PK.

Domi isn't going to be your prototypical 3C in the playoffs; but it is what it is thats why that line should just get O-zone starts and run the clock as much as possible

Knies-Matthews-Marner
Bertuzzi-Tavares-Nylander
Jankrok-Domi-Kessel
Gregor-Kampf-Holmberg

Rielly-Brodie
McCabe - Liljegren
Gio/Benoit - YYY

Woll/Jones/Hildbeast/................................(samsonov? )


Need some scoring from offense and you hope adding Kessel will provide that offensive look. I think Kessel can put in productive 10 to 12 minutes and adds a bit more offense on PP2. As long as Defense holds thats good IMO

I am really not comfortable spending assets until there is some clarity post JT's contract off the books

We could have gone all in this year if Dubas hadn't spend like a madman prior years for first round exits / (1 series win in post season)

 

[LeafParade]

What is the play here? Put him on Kampf's other wing so he can have two wingers capable of ignoring him up the ice?

Ok
So marner gonna get this number or more
Tavares allot less
We gonna lose knies probably?

We will keep getting worse

 

[MarMarSab3]

The best teams know when to walk away from players, walking away from Brodie this year, and Marner and Tavares the year after are the right plays. Just because a Brodie or Tavares would take less doesn't mean they need to come back.

Brodie and Klingberg money will get you 2 d next year, Tavares and Marner money will get you 3 good forwards or 2 D and 1F, imho this is the best approach

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Steeves has been a worse NHLer than Robertson while being older and worse in the AHL. Robertson is scoring at a 40 point pace with 10 minutes of ice time a game and little power play time. I have no idea why people are clamouring to move him.

Can you be any more disingenuous and bad faith? Steeves has played 6 total NHL games in two seasons, at under 8 minutes a game, playing mostly with David Kampf. Give me a break. He has a higher ppg average in the AHL than either Trevor Moore or Mason Marchment did when we traded them, but yeah sure he sucks.

I didn’t say he sucks. I wouldn’t have him up here at Robertson’s expense though. I’d like to give him a try instead of McMann though.

 

[Budz]

Marner for Sid. lol.

Is Sid happy wasting his last years away?

Yeah, let's walk away from half of our top 6 and a guy playing our top pair

We will definitely be better after that

 

[ashs]

I just hope we can sign bertuzzi and Domi, both have been great.

 

[arso40]

Ok

We will keep getting worse

I promise you we will not lose knies at all he’s our left winger going forward
