Not impossible but that seems unlikely without any other moves.

I'm thinking it's going to be

1. Tanev,
2. Either a top 4 D or good 3C. Maybe Henrique or Dillon tier rather then Montour or Pesce tier.
3. Stolarz/Cheap goalie

When I look at the cap, that extra 500 k- 1 m overpayment to Liljegren really hurts a lot.

Lily signing shocked me.

Barely over 1m left after Dewar. UFA window is closed unless they trade Kampf or Järnkrok which is probably not happening.

You do know that we can go over the cap by 10% in the offseason. They can sign a few players and move guys or bury guys in the minors to be cap compliant. I’d expect a few cheap signings tomorrow. Still also the possibility of a Marner trade

Wasn't happy with the Tanev/OEL deals earlier in the day, but as the day goes along it looks a little bit better............ A little better. Some awful deals being handed out.

Still not a fan of the term or dollar value. Thought the extra years would bring it down.

Like both the Domi/Stolarz

Im warming to most of the deals. The only piece that makes me nervous is the 3c spot unless they believe Minten or someone internally can handle that.

What's this based on?

Who do you feel the Leafs missed out in because they simply didn't want to come to Toronto?

I’ve been listening to Kipper and Borne all day to and Kipper said that players talk to one another and the scrutiny players face in Toronto and Vancouver has turned a lot of players off from those markets. He said a lot of players just rather not play there. So it’s definitely a thing even though HF Boards people claim it’s not.

Rielly - Tanev
McCabe - Liljegren
Ekman-Larsson - Benoit

Woll - Stolarz


Is it an upgrade over last year? I’d say it’s a slight improvement but nothing crazy. A little disappointed overall as I was hoping for more impactful changes but I guess it takes two to tangle and clearly Toronto isn’t a very appealing destination anymore.

Exactly. Toronto is not a preferred destination. Tre panicked when he realized it. They really thought Lily would get $3 million in arbitration?

Be careful what you ask for. I have said it a thousand times. It's Tavares's contract that is killing them. This team's forward depth looks pretty bad if you use the majority of the Marner money on the back end at this point (Petro or Theo). They have very little to trade and there isn't much scoring help left in UFA.

Toronto is a gong show. If you aren't a huge Leaf fan why would you go there?

This is such BS...how come Boston and New York don't figure in? They have high taxes like Toronto, and I think New York is even higher.

Because it has always been inaccurate. Tax lawyers can structure to defer taxes in a manner that results in getting players in "normal" tax jurisdictions (i.e., Canada, California, New York, Mass, Colorado, etc.) to basically the same place on an after-tax basis as players in low-tax jurisdictions. It's why you never hear about this being an issue in any other North American professional sport.

Kypreos is an absolute goof, you can disregard almost anything he says.

Do players not face scrutiny in Montreal, New York, Boston etc. etc.

Toronto is still a sought after destination.

Domi did well to spot in that role. I'd expect Minten to probably make a play. Holmberg is vanilla a bit but he could take a bigger step next season. Quillan as a darkhorse.

With that said, I agree. The Leafs probably need to make a trade or find a way to add a center and a top 9 LW to replace Bertuzzi and a departing Robertson.

Six built in excuses for the Leafs to never exit the first round. Not even like they're that good but the adversity represented there are just perfect reasons for the Leafs big water pistols to no show the rest of the 2020s.

ohhh watch out....

@RomanianLeafs is about to tell you to not watch the Leafs next season because you don't bendover to the MLSE and Leafs Management

So it appears our offense that couldn't muster up 2 goals in a game come playoff time has now actually somehow gotten worse.

They're running it back with Gio, Brodie replaced with Tanev and OEL, Samsonov swapped airh Stol & Bertuzzi swapped with some bargain basket garbage.

Same loser core for the 8th year in a row....this is genuinely a f***ing nightmare, Brad is a gutless coward.

Couldn’t agree more. He referenced Pesce and O’Reilly said, both guys just did not want to be in the spotlight. That’s not who they are and they had no interest in being in a spot like Toronto
