I'm begging for a core player change

Failing that I'd like to see some 2025 picks recovered

I really don't think a core player change happens..although Ill always remember Schenn for JVR happening in Day 2..the core move seems more complicated than that one.

Think you'll see more on July 1st or 2nd if it happens at all.

They’ll want too much money. Zadorov at his current salary ~ 3.75 is all they should offer, but singing a 5-7 D through UFA is a waste.
Part of me wants Tre to spend enough on FA’s this year and pick up a trade deadline player so that there’s no possibility or money to resigning Marner next year. These idiots need to save themselves from making another overpayment to 16………..

34th in the league last year, 5v5 points/60.

We can’t score, and here is this guy in the top ten percentile in the league in scoring for the time he is on the ice and we can’t wait to rush him out the door.
Regular season stats haven’t equated to playoffs points though. Leafs make the playoffs without Marner, Leafs choke in the playoffs with Marner………..

If the Rangers retain, why not take Trouba and try to get back into the playoffs.
He won’t play in Canada, I know Berube would love to have him on the team though……….

Over payments to Taney and Zadorov is a waste time and money.

Their problems on D are not the 5 through healthy scratch players. They need 1 through 3. Tanev is OK but he’s 35 and should sign with a team that’s contending this year. By the time the Leafs’ window opens he’ll be 37 and an anchor that they’ll be looking to move.

I didn’t say anything about overpayments, I said use up all the cap, that can be done wisely if you have a brain………

They’re are not many available UFAs that help them for the next 4 yrs. Why not give Lily 4 x 13, he’s a good kid.

I can now see why Flames fans said Treliving is the expert in deals that “almost” get done. Damn this guy does nothing 99% of the time. Where are the trades? I thought this team was going to get overhauled

This needed to be done last off-season, once that full N/M kicked in your at the mercy of the player and what he wants

If he won't cooperate we're screwed
right. and you’ve gotta think the relationship is also strained now between team and player. These NTC create resent once the player’s toe is tagged and the fan base/mgmt wants him out.

Should we be blaming Robertson on the teams lack of scoring ? A rookie, who didn’t get PP time, despite his offensive tools? That didn’t make sense to me at all.

A rookie gets 7 games, and because he doesn’t score, he’s done. Meanwhile, the core hasn’t been good enough for years. You give guys with high offensive potential more runway than that, particularly when your team absolutely needs that potential.

The owners would be better off increasing the percentage a HRR that goes to the cap and limiting or even eliminating no trade clauses.

Neither of those D-men are "5 through healthy scratch", and it's clear you've not been to Detroit any time recently.

You could've kept your ignorance a secret, but couldn't help yourself :laugh:

What’s four years got to do with it? Lilly isn’t worth his current salary let alone a penny more. Your not making any sense or is that your point?
