Zero interest in Zibanajed

I’ve seen enough. All our futures + Reaves + Kampf + Domi + Jarnkrok for Crosby

How could any team resist that kind of offer?

I heard Bennett lives in T.O in the off season. No brainer IMO if he's willing to come here for same money Tavares wants. This core is stale as it is.


The article also questions it because JT is not going anywhere else. They need to get the AAV down somehow so they can upgrade the bottom 6. Clearly being top heavy with these 5 does not work.

I don't see why you don't shoot for both. Give Tavares an extra year to bring the cap down into the $6.5 million range, extend Knies on a bridge deal, then sign Bennett as an FA and clean up your roster around the edges, featuring a couple extra ELCs.

Knies-Matthews-Domi
Cowan-Bennett-Nylander
McMann-Tavares-Marner
Grebenkin-Cowan-Lorentz

If Cozens is even remotely available, he’s my guy. He’s your ideal second line center who happens to be 24 years old. His game will probably elevate playing alongside someone like Nylander.

Crosby would put this team on his back all the way to the finals.

2026 first
2027 first
Cowen
Minten
Hildeby
Domi (cap purpose)
Kampf (cap purpose)

According to TSN hockey insider Darren Dreger, the Toronto Maple Leafs would only part with some of their top prospects such as Easton Cowan, Fraser Minten, and Ben Danford in "a supreme package trade".

Darren Dreger says in his opinion, the best affordable NHL centres right now that might be available in a trade are:

• Brayden Schenn

• Scott Laughton

Aaron Korolnek and Jamie McLennan are joined by TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger to discuss why he has his eyes on the Toronto Maple Leafs as the Trade Deadline approaches and are there any assets GM Brad Treliving is not willing to deal to improve the team this season.

I don't see why Gourde wouldn't be available, he's a pending UFA even if he isn't going to be fit before the TDL

Maybe the injury thing brings the price down? I think he's the type of guy Tre and Berube would like

There's some risk but if we're not going to raid the farm in a big way it may be one of the better options
