That does not solve the #3C problem.

Theoretically, we can do more than one trade... which I did... Tre on the other hand.... that's kind of tricky.

 

[leafsfan5]

Treliving PLEASE, he completes the forward core

Knies - Matthews - Marner
Jarnkrok - Tavares - Nylander
McMann - Nelson - Robertson
Lorentz- Kampf - Holmberg

I don't know where to put domi and would like him gone

 

[Dreakmur]

In what world would that be fine? Everyone around us got better, we'd be absolute destroyed vs any florida team if we go in as is.

That's actually a strong argument in favour of not spending futures. If we aren't close, we shouldn't add.

 

[leafsfan5]

Also, very low chance this happens and I know it's almost sacrilegious to say around these parts, but if Rantanen is willing to re-sign here I drive Knies to the airport in a deal for him

McMann - Matthews - Marner
Rantanen - XXX - Nylander

Is the top 6 you build around longterm. Let Tavares walk and find a 2c that is defensively responsible to play between Rantanen and Nylander

 

[Smif]

It was more thst Mitch needed a mentor and a place to go with Matthews to play mini-stick

He picked the wrong mentor. It was a nice story but they followed in the footsteps of a guy who was soft mentally and ok with never winning anything.

I learned years ago not to get to excited about the trade deadline. It normally ends with the same level of excitement as draft night. Sit around hoping a guy falls only to hear the Leafs dropped down to get two meh players instead of one good one.

 

[Roo]

Sounds like it’s the devils getting Nelson? Someone posted it in X but not sure how credible

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Last year we traded, what 4 draft picks for Edmundson, Lyubushkin and DeWar? I'd rather stand pat.

if only they targetted players that werent Edmundson, Lyubushkin and Dewar.

Then what would've happened?

 

[SprDaVE]

Then what would've happened?

world domination?

I dunno... but maybe better players = better results? I did like Lyubushkin though.

OK .. Show of hands here who is sitting on pins and needles here hoping for a sign and trade deal for Mikko Rantanen to the Leafs?

 

[Cleetus]

when Tampa can't beat Buffalo, are you still worried about Tampa? I'm not sure they can beat Florida in the first round even with Florida not having Tkachuk.

yea that sure happened, another fine take.

Not sure I want to put all our eggs in one basket.

 

[Leaffan1991]

In the off season, if Dallas approaches you with a proposal of,

To Toronto-
Thomas Harley
Wyatt Johnston

To Dallas-
Auston Matthews

Do you say yes?

1000 percent.
Harley is slowly becoming a top pair D at such a young age.
Johnston is getting better every year as well he will become number C as early as next season

 

[leafsfan5]

I just realized Nelson has a 16 team NTC and he's American

Who wants to bet we're on there

 

[SprDaVE]

Must be a haul for the Sabres to do this? Makes no sense

There’s like, no chance imo… not even garnering thought in my mind

I just realized Nelson has a 16 team NTC and he's American

Who wants to bet we're on there

For a few months, I suspect he’d waive for a legit contender

[MK78]

The Leafs better blow us away tomorrow, or i'm gonna go nuts.

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.

 

[OVO16]

Not sure he likes him all that much. His minutes are lower than they've been under Keefe and he's been pretty bad. Minten could replace him and you wouldn't notice a thing.

They really need dump him as soon as possible. If they can make it happen before tomorrow the better.

Minutes aside, Kampf has been a regular mainstay in the lineup, while others have rotated in and out (Holmberg, Robertson, Dewar, Reaves, Paccioretty)

Kampf should have easily been in that same group of players but he hasnt been. Him and Lorentz have been the 2 mainstays in the 4th line all season, which means Berube likes them.

I'd be ecstatic to move out Kampf and hit $$ for Kunin

Makes no sense.

That ship my friend for the Leafs has already sailed in that they pay 4 players > 1/2 their entire salary cap.

All year, before the season even began I was willing to walk away from Marner in hopes of signing pending UFA Mikko Rantanen instead for similar cap $$$.

If Carolina is willing to do a re-sign and then trade (at Leafs financial terms) first then all the risk of the move above is gone. Leafs have a big powerforward under contract long term,

Besides you know what they say about eggs, not going to make a nice Stanley Cup winning egg omelette, without cracking a few eggs.
