Because 90 point wingers grow on trees? lolNo, it’s annoying to hear how good he is when he is not all that. He is not worth 12M per year extension. 8 years of the same thing, they need to move on. He is soft, gutless, and takes 0 accountability for anything.
90? He's a 99point winger in 80 games. As a leafs fan, I agree. This fan base is toxic . I completely get why players dnt come hereBecause 90 point wingers grow on trees? lol
there is no use arguing with Leafs fans
they lack the required braincells to have logical discussions
Thats 90 points I'm either going to say 90 point or 100 point winger90? He's a 99point winger in 80 games. As a leafs fan, I agree. This fan base is toxic . I completely get why players dnt come here
You dont have marner on your roster. Assuming is traded we would have something coming back plus probably cap space. If we remove Marner we have the ability to put together a much more balanced lineup. You also dont have jarnkrok or kampf. Removing Marner, Kampf,.and Jarnkrok would.be about $35 million in cap space. We would be in great shape at that point.Unless a trade is about to happen we don't know about, the plan appears to be to target Roy and Tanev in free agency and hope the number is low enough to bring back the cheaper option between Domi and Bertuzzi. Then, get a cheap tandem goalie and maybe a league min vet forward and see what the kids can do upfront.
Defense would look something like
Rielly - Tanev
McCabe - Roy
Benoit - Liljegren
That's the best top 4 I can remember the Leafs having. Not top of the league but easily in the top 10 discussion. The forwards will look a bit uglier
Knies - Matthews - Domi
McMann - Tavares - Nylander
Robertson/Cowan/whoever from the several NHL ready forward prospects) - Holmberg - Marner
XXX - Dewar - Reaves
It's going to depend on a few prospects taking that next step and at least one of our top F prospects to show they are NHL ready on the third line

And therein lies the core problem.The guy who's deciding that direction is Brendan Shannahan, who's not going anywhere.
The 2024 draft is about 6 hours away and the Maple Leafs have not addressed the D or the goaltending, will they be able to do something? Teams around them have improved, the Leafs need to do something.
