Going full AA is a major improvement over going full Santard.

baby steps.

And i obviously didnt say trade them straight up, buttwipe.

I was referring to you metaphorically

This D (yes, it's early) is the best I've seen in Toronto for more than a decade. I'm taking a temporary break from trading Willie for a D.

Things may change in the summer with the expansion draft and depending on how the playoffs go.
- The Law

Yeah, my trade allows us to deal Rielly away

Sorry, my opinion has changed
He was my favourite Leaf for 3 years, now I think we could get a boatload of assets and still have solid replacements

I'd keep Nylander. Trading him is what Chiarelli'd do.😁
- Zezel

This place is going to be great when Jake Gardner asks for a trade and becomes “available”

Bennett career renewal strategy

Step 1. Ask for trade - done
Step 2. Wait for Leaf fans to declare you a legitimate top 6 forward - done
Step 3. Wait for Dave Nonis to return as Leaf GM

His agent is a genius.

I've watched him play 10 minutes of hockey but even for me that narrative of playing for/like Gilmour has always been such a tease. It's the DG93 God effect.

I’m wondering if the Leafs will end up taking the option of protecting 4D, 4F.

Tavares
Willy
Mitchy
Matthews

Rielly
Brodie
Holl
Muzzin

Have an agreement with Hyman to re-sign him after the expansion draft.

You risk losing Dermott, Mikheyev, Engvall or kerfoot. All of those guys are easily replaceable through free agency.

Rielly would be a tough loss but his cap hit and the fact that he keeps showing enough inconsistency to his game has gotta make you think twice about throwing 8+ at him.

Tough call. It'd be easier if Sandin or Lehtonen showed they could run a PP.

Ya that might be what makes the most sense. I guess in that scenario it basically comes down to whether they prefer risking (Mikheyev or Dermott) or (Holl or Dermott).

Holl is a top-4 D.

Mikheyev is a faster yet less effective Kapanen.

Hi Jim, Kyle here
Hey Kyle, how are things
Pretty good, could be better I guess
How about you?
Hopefully we can get on a roll with that win last night....
Are you interested in shaking things up?
What did you have in mind?

Engvall, Kerfoot, Dermott, Woll and Nylander
for
Juolevi, Pearson, Virtanen, Demko and Miller

Hmm.....interesting🤔
They don’t call me dim jim for nothing 🤝

I think they are going to have to be a bit more aggressive working Lehtonen into games to see what they’ve got.

Virtanen sucks. He and Miller are $8M. Pearson is a UFA and Juolevi has been 8n and out of the lineup

- Canada Cup

I’m really wondering if it is worth it.

Why are we investing resources in a guy who is UFA at the end of the year, who we can’t protect in the expansion draft if we re-sign him, and who probably wants to move to a team who can give him more ice time?

Trading him may be a better deployment of our resources.

Seeing what we’ve got if it means sitting Dermott occasionally isn’t too big a cost and will be necessary if we’re going to trade him. He’s shown improvement but is still a ? Need to know what he is

Hey Brian and Ron
Congrats on the new gig

Thanks Doobs, I love what you’ve done with the Leafs

Listen Brian.... I know u have always liked Rielly and are looking to improve your d core

What did u have in mind?

Just let us log in to Hockey Buzz and see if Ek has any good suggestions

How long did it take the leafs to hang up?

Too much to debate 😒

All 4 Canucks bring a physical element and we get our new goalie at a great price to share the crease with Campbell
Money also works
Pearson would resign for similar $
Juolevi was the best dman last game against us, got under Matthews skin, and is still improving at a small cap hit

Btw.... Kerfoot sucks and makes 3.5m

Holl is a top-4 D.

Mikheyev is a faster yet less effective Kapanen.
- Atomic Wedgie

Agreed. Holl at 2 million is working towards 'must protect' status. I guess it plays out this year and we see where it stands after the playoffs.

Lots of options.

Just went into Capfriendly's expansion tool. Mikheyev doesn't need to be protected.

Leafs have to expose 2 fwds and 1 def

Kerfoot and Engvall plus a Defenseman almost makes too much sense.

So ya I think you're right 4+4.

Dermott or Bogo, probably Dermsy.

Its one game. All teams look bad at some point in the season. Even Boston and Tampa have losses they aren't happy with.

Bogosian cant be used as an exposed player because he doesn't have a contract for the next year.

They were off most of the night, move on to Ottawa and who cares about last night.
