we didnt treat him like shit the f***. We overpaid his ass by like 3 million for 5 f***ing years while the mental midget did dick all when he was supposed to.

Treating them like shit god what a clown comment.

He's a 100 point player, how is he overpaid by 3m lmaooo. You are exactly why other fan bases laugh at this fan base. And you're exactly why good players don't come here to play.

New Jersey is having a whopper of an off-season

Keefe hit the jackpot. They've lapped us in the rebuild.

Scary how much of a shit show this franchise is. It should be a desired location for free agents, not an automatic hard no.

If the pieces arent there this summer. Brad is better off signing cheap players to short term deals to not f*** us up in the future.

Signing Tanev to 6 years is stupid. Especially if it is pushing $5 million.

Signing Stolarz to $3 million is also nuts. $6 million in unproven goalies is going to playnout same way Samsonov/Murray did

Giving OEL 3 years and $4 million also nuts.

Lafferty 2 years x $1.25 million
Deanglo 1 year x $2 million
Broissot 2 years x $2.5 million
Hakanpaa 3 years x $2.5 million
Toffoli. 1 year x $3.5 million

Knies. Matthews. Nylander
Mcmann Domi Marner
Jarnkrok. Tavares. Toffoli
Holmberg. Kampf. Lafferty
Reaves

Rielly. Hakanpaa
Mccabe. Lilly
Benoit. Deangelo

Woll
Broissot

It could work if the guys making all the money pulled their weight. Unfortunately they lay eggs in Aoril.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

We need playoffs players, Tanev and OEL we're Great this playoffs...leafs fans still not happy..this fanbase is unreal

Winning the off-season Stanley cup honestly means f*** all.. everyone thought Ottawa was gonna be contenders. Wrong.

 

[NJG]

this is the dumbest f***ing thing ive heard.

Its not his fault that those contracts are here so im gna handcuff the team even more and sign taneva nd oel to equally shitty contracts?

what in the world are you even talking about.

Are you like special special? It's clear what the objective is with Tanev and anyone who hasn't caught on by now is clearly not the brightest.... Tanev will play 3-4 years and retire or LTIR. OEL is better then 80% of our defense last year and was good enough to play every game with the team that just won the cup... Tre is not over dramatic like you and knows that if he eventually wants to get rid of OEL or it doesn't work out he can still move the contract, there will always be teams looking for veteran help that thinks their close to going on a run. So making the defense better is hand cuffing the team? Okay great take.

 

[hamzarocks]

Rielly --> low end 1D
Tanev --> low end 3D with major decline and injury risks
McCabe --> low end 4D
OEL --> low end 5D who at 4M will be an albatross
Lilijgren --> low end 6D making 3M
Benoit --> solid 6D making 1.3M

Our defense above is marginally better than the below at higher priced contracts to old declining players:

Rielly - Lub
McCabe - Lilijgren
Benoit - edmunson

Treliving is a horrible GM

He's a 100 point player, how is he overpaid by 3m lmaooo. You are exactly why other fan bases laugh at this fan base. And you're exactly why good players don't come here to play.

People like me call his ass out and literally dont talk to him or know how to get a hold of his ass.

How is he overpaid by 3M? Dude gets paid 11m. 11 f***ing million to play caspar in the playoffs.

blaming fans is so stupid. Why dont the yankees or lakers have issues attracting players? Their fanbase is more rabid?

What a stupid f***ing comment. Get your head outta your ass and understand management incompetency.

 

[JKG33]

Seems so.

Yikes. That doesn't help the defence at all

 

[PromisedLand]

That would be annoying if Boston gets both Zadorov and Lindholm.

Friedman is predicting both of them to boston LMAO

I want both of them signed in Toronto to plan for 2025-26 season, get a backup goalie and done with it

Next season is a wash for the Leafs anyway. when marner+tavares are off the cap then Leafs can truly build their bottom six and defense

 

[ToneDog]

Since nothing matters but the playoffs, that sounds like it would be unreasonable.

Or is that just regular season success that doesn't matter? Lol

Fans won't put up with regular season failure after 8 years of playoff failure. They will sharpen their pitch forks. Count on it.

OEL played 15 minutes per game. That is not a great performance. This was his biggest highlight from the playoffs:

NJ has actually shown they can be a good team, they suffered some really bad injuries last year and lacked depth on D and in net, which they've addressed now. Plus they got a good coach. If they stay healthy they'll likely win their division. They made the second round at the same time we did and we've been rebuilding much longer

I dont think the issue is the players, its the money/term.

 

[stats1]

OEL maybe signing shortly doesn’t make what you said yesterday correct. Both things I called out as not true were 100% not true at the time you wrote them.

Sure..

 

[Jojalu]

I agree if they run back the core.

If they do wind up making a big splash I think fans will give some time to see if they can gel

 

[hamzarocks]

Piss poor assessment

Piss poor defense

You guys can stay overrating the crap thats on this team. Leafs keep getting out R1 and the geniuses here will be wondering why

 

[Jozay]

Paying OEL 4 mill a year is a joke. Hope they don’t get him

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Just f***ing kill me. We get OEL and Tanev for 8.5 and Boston is getting Zaddy and Lindy?! Pesce is only worth 5.5? What the f*** are we doing here guys

 

[stats1]

We gave Tanev a full NMC in all 6 years. I don’t know what to f***ing say

f*** off. What a joke. I’d rather just not sign anyone else.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Can we give Zadorov $5.5M to not play in Boston?
