A lot of teams were expecting to go past the first round, so there could be some interesting trades this off season. Losing sucks.

I expect this to be a VERY busy off season.

I would die laughing.

Unfortunately, Marleau is not going anywhere. Even if he retires his cap hit still counts. If he plays next year will be with Leafs. He has a full NMC. Unless he is willing to claim an LTIR injury and sit at home and collect his cash he'll most likely be on the 3rd or 4th line next year.

How long until sheldon keefe is named head coach? I think that's the next step for the leafs

That's not true. If he waives the NMC and retires as a Coyote, on July 2nd, he makes a lot of money and the cap hit stays in Arizona.

Or he’s willing to LTIRetire and waive his NMC and go to Detroit for Abdelkader.

He can retire, then have his cap hit traded to another team. Think Datsyuk to Coyotes.

Trade you bylsma for a 4th round pick

Love your thought process.

So glad you all think alike.

That was like an NHL 16 gm move

- Steven_Seagull

That's the key. He has to realize he can't keep up anymore and be willing to do that.
If not, the Leafs are stuck with him.

Marleau and Brown for Glendening and a 3rd?

Toddy tickles is my biggest fan

Tbh, he caught me on a good night, I’m bringing the 🔥

They can have Zaitsev

For Hronek and Cholowski. One second pairing dman for two. Chychrun isn’t really anything special as I’ve watched him.

Dump gardiner.

Sign a couple cheap ufas/bring up a couple marlies

Fix the backup situation.

We outplayed boston. Rask was on a heater and won the series.

Stay the course.

Babcock - Fired
Gardiner - Walks
Brown - Packaged out

Marleau - Buyout is obviously a possibility, but doesn't address the cap. After July 1st PM's salary is a mere $1.25M and he's collected $17.5M of his 3yr/$18.75M contract, over 93%.....................

What is the best option to move on from Marleau after July 1st?
- As_I_See_It

there's only one option. PM + 3rd to Yotes for something useless. Yotes absorb cap hit and get a pick. Leafs get cap space. Then PM retires as a Yote.

- JohnFergusonJr

More like you include the third and we don’t. Brown had less goals than Glendening last year. We are helping you out by taking the Marleau cap hit.

Gardiner is already a UFA.

Who? Not much out there. Marlies aren't proven to be upgrades either.

Back-up situation is fixable.

Not really. Boston played well when it mattered. They played better playoff hockey. Smarter and tougher.

The course includes major changes. Too much money spent on forwards, not enough help on defense, not enough attention to a "playoff" mentality.

- The Law

Why do you keep insisting on the Yotes? Detroit is willing to take PM and the third for Wade Megan.
