Well, that is likely the biggest area that Dubas gaffed on, so acting on it is key.
With the way it's going, Knies may end up asking for $9m

Treliving's experience isn't exactly top notch.
You can be experienced and bad at the same time.
Some would say that is the best way to learn. Doesn’t always work that way, but learning from mistakes is how you improve.

Honestly, folks need to calm down a bit..there's nothing wrong with paying for legit talent. If he's the real deal, the team will always get value one way or the other

The Toronto Maple Leafs are becoming a team to watch on the NHL’s trade market.
The Leafs currently have all 23 active roster spots filled, have sent both defenceman Jani Hakanpaa and forward Connor Dewar to the AHL for conditioning stints, and also have veteran forward Calle Jarnkrok, who doesn’t appear too far away from game action. Needless to say, something has to give in Toronto.
Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli discussed the Maple Leafs’ looming roster decisions on Friday’s episode of Daily Faceoff Live and shed some light on how the Maple Leafs could navigate their roster crunch.
“I’ve said it before, Leafs fans can continue to hate, or whatever it might be, Nick Robertson was a healthy scratch this week and remains a candidate to be moved if the Leafs can find the right value in return for him. He’s been unable to be elevated in that Leafs lineup for any sustained period of time,” said Seravalli.
“So, when you look at their roster and you realize that the only player who is waiver exempt in that group is Matthew Knies, and he ain’t going anywhere, that means the Leafs either need to waive players to make room for both (Hakanpaa/Dewar), or they need to make a trade. Keep an eye on the Leafs, the other shoe has to drop on these guys if they are healthy on the other end of this conditioning stint.”
Robertson has appeared in 10 games for the Maple Leafs this season, scoring just one goal and has yet to record an assist. After leading Toronto in goal-scoring during the preseason, he hasn’t been able to find consistent production under Craig Berube, who has challenged the 23-year-old to concentrate more on playing without the puck and his attention to detail defensively. Robertson is a pending restricted free agent, carrying a $875,000 cap hit this season.
Pontus Holmberg is another forward who could become a trade candidate. The 25-year-old is a pending restricted free agent, earning $80o,000 and has averaged 12:46 of ice time per game under Berube. Holmberg plays a much more defensively-focused game than Robertson, however, both have value on the trade market for different reasons.
Recently acquired defenceman Matt Benning and rarely used blueliner Philippe Myers are also two potential trade candidates, with Hakanpaa’s return looming and Conor Timmins playing well to start the season.
As Seravalli points out, something has to give in Toronto. The Maple Leafs are getting healthy; they have too many NHL contracts on their books, and it’s very possible another trade is announced in the coming days.

I would try to get depth picks for guys like holmberg/bennjng etc. 4ths whatever. Just get something. Stock the cupboards for the deadline.

Colorado needs forwards, Holmberg or Robertson would have interest and likely cost would vary.
Benning to Utah perhaps? I would take a 2026 7th even.

OH Boy... this will result in some fun.

Treliving connection.
That's another retirement deal though.

They'd have to retain 50%, send Kampf and Robertson... and we really don't have much in the way of draft picks to make the deal happen. Not to mention Calgary doesn't want to deal with Tre. The only way this happens, if Kadri demands a trade, and only will go to Toronto, and somehow Shanahan would take him back.

Our roster would look pretty sick with Kadri in the #3 slot.

I'm guessing they waive Myers and Benning (worst case).
They have Rafai down there still too. Defensive depth is pretty solid and Hakanpaa will be on the team.
At worst they lose 1.
A trade is more ideal. Leafs have about a week or so to do that so maybe they can get a lower pick for one of them. Preferably Benning.
I'd like to keep Myers. Seems he could still develop more.
Maybe Robertson finally goes but it's tough because I feel they won't get anywhere near fair value unless some random team is high on him but he'd probably be there already if so.
Not sure how close Jarnkrok is? That's a pretty big factor too then.

This.
The time to "clear" guys like Myers through waivers is typically the beginning of the season, when everyone's got healthy rosters, a few suprise camp exceptions, and nobody really has the roster space to take on a spare part.
At this point in the year, there are teams that are banged up -- no forward gets through waivers because of Colorado, and likely no defenceman because of Utah.
Obviously the Leafs have to make 2 roster spots, but if it only ends up being 1 (maybe somebody else gets hurt in the meantime), I think the Leafs should waive Benning before Myers. It clears more cap space, and he's less likely to be claimed. If claimed, great, you've just unburdened yourself for next year.
Have any decent D recently passed through waivers?
Seems like Utah should be claiming any cheap D they can grab at this point.

Only way I see this happening is if he is bought out or if a 3 team trade is made and 75% is retained. I don't see that happening because I doubt we want to give up the picks/prospects to make that happen. So buyout only hope for him but idk why Calgary would do that.
