This is rich coming from a Habs fan.

...why??...three season ago, the Habs won more Series' in that Playoff (which included beating the Leafs) than the Leafs have won in over 20 years...the Leafs getting eliminated is a surer sign of the coming of Spring than that damn groundhog ever was or will be... :biglaugh:
 
Assuming they get knocked out in the first or second, it will be the same thing with trade everybody until the next season when Toronto goes 4-0 to start the season and there's 8 threads about this is the year lol

I do honestly hope they go deep this year, I could careless for the players ( mostly Matthews ), but their fans deserve it

Nothing. Toronto is happy with what they have.

Somewhat competitive and entertaining big market team that keeps generating revenue for years to come with this situation. Winning playoff rounds is only extra success for them
 
This isn't even the year for Toronto to go deep. Next year with Tavares no longer making 11M seems like a much better opportunity to improve the roster.

This year is basically an audition year for Marner to see if he can be worth what he wants to get paid. If Rantanen doesn't re-sign in Carolina, the Leafs can swap Marner for him in FA.
 
If you really want to get the leafs attention, its going to require Justin Bieber to threaten to change what team he cheers for.

Yes I'm sure a player like Rantanen would be so eager to join the Maple Leafs.

Great plan.

If not, 14M in cap space to improve the roster is a great consolation prize.

If Rantanen doesn't believe he's good enough to help Toronto then he can find someone else. Not too many contenders with the cap space to sign him though - so he'd have to take some discounts... which he supposedly wouldn't take in Colorado so that seems even more unlikely.
 
There's a thread like this every year. Followed by a collective Leafs fanbase spring meltdown for the playoffs, another meltdown in the summer for the offseason moves, and then their hope is reawakened with the regular season until the next playoffs meltdown.

No there really isn't, these are the last years of an in prime core and the east/west look wide open, so it makes sense for them to go all in.
 
Probably overpay Marner to stay and try again while changing up the smaller pieces.

Same shit as the past 6 years ?

The goalies are probably the best they ever had during this run, specifically Stolarz.
