You remember this when karma bites you in the ass tonight and the Habs get pick 7 or 8.

can't get lower than 7th. I fully expect them to get the 6th pick (highest odds). They are currently 5th on the draft odds.

Media saying that all 3 of Tre, Shanahan and Pelley will be availble at the planned press conference on Friday. To me, this is a clear sign that Shanahan is not going anywhere. If they end up doing separate interviews, then maybe there is stil a chance, but if all 3 are sitting side by side, it's not happening.

Hey come on.

We've been nice.

Well not all the time, but mostly nice.

Time to luck out and grab Celebrini!!

Sorry, Symbalton has already sealed your fate with his negative karma.

You might get a contract back. But not necessarily. Marner to Utah for a 7th round pick. They get a top asset. Leafs get cap space. Tavares to Chicago, to pad his stats for a year. Add a 2nd round pick. Take a 7th in return. It can be done.

But fine, take back a contract. Marner for Kerfoot. So there is a warm body for a year and still get $7.5M space.
- HockeyBuzzed

oy-vey
double oy-vey
Crouse and/or Moser I would like to see coming back to the Leafs

Anyone that actually listened to the interview can tell Marner was complementing the fans the words just came out wrong..Not the biggest Marner guy but he is going to get crucified for this slip of the tounge.
- Azuredoom

Completely agree, yes it was tone def, but thats not a big deal. People just want to be upset.

Honest question, are you trying to troll intentionally (God I hope so)? To even suggest this is next level bad.

Marner didnt have a great playoffs, but if you think there wouldnt be a ton of teams to want to trade for him you are out to lunch.

I would also like to propose McDavid for Kampf. It only makes sense.

Bang on! Sounds like Shanahan has convinced Pelley to run it back!! This time will be different though!! Considering an Utah jersey……if they are nice, this may be it. After over 50yrs watching this, the past 4 or 5 years have been the ultimate with respect to being embarrassed to wear the Leafs Jersey. Grew up in Ontario and live in Alberta! You can’t wear a Leafs jersey here without dark sunglasses and a hat. These guys have all the excuses and it will be the same dog and pony show Friday. Read the other day that Shanahan makes $25mil yr for this crap!! Unbeleafable! The only Cup the franchise cares about is the Profit Cup.

- Bullot

maybe in Red Deer

Habs, Lightning, Panthers ...and Bruins this year? You knock out the Leafs and you're almost guaranteed to reach the Cup final!

It's the frustration that unites us ..so close, yet so far away.
- The Law

So close??

Don't (frank)ing kid yourself. We gonna win the cup scoring 2 goals or less a game?

Get that garbage outta here.

Tavares could be moved.

If you find a team that is close to Toronto (Buffalo) or a playoff team with cap space that needs a bit of offense (Nashville) the Leafs could retain salary and move him if he decides to waive for the right situation.

And if he so desperately wants to return, he can come back as a UFA next year at 50% the salary.

They can keep his pajamas warm.
- Rare_Jewel

Seth Jarvis

Think about that.

No thanks to moving him out.

Toronto fans treat Toronto players like gods has become a scandal? Says the Leafs fans who obessesively follow the Leafs on hockey forums?

In other news, water is wet, grass is green and Leafs fans have an unrivaled ability to scapegoat absolutely any player at any time for any reason.
- Rare_Jewel

not unless you have those pesky grubbs and the trash panda digging for them.

Both Tavares and Marner have full NMC...it's really not up to the guy living in a tree.
Piss off those players and they both walk away next summer and the Leafs get nothing in return.
- Symba007

Exactly. Piss them off. Make the year miserable so they accept a trade. And walking for nothing? Again, the greatest return possible is cap space. Either try to give them away now or let them walk in a year. It's the same thing. The return is cap space.

(frank)ing love Seth Jarvis.

Too bad Bergevin can't offer sheet him anymore.





It would help Carolina lock him long term at a reasonable cap hit.

This.

Bend over because they are gonna run this back again, this time right up the fanbase's asses.
- fifty__missions

this will be all on Shanahan
better get some lube

Probably.

Imagine Keefe et al are gone on Friday, but they will want to see what a new coaching staff can do first. They will base it on Toronto likely having beaten arguably the top team in the East had the powerplay not stunk and peeps were healthy.

Probably Todd McLellan.

If it somehow gets worse, it will be tradeline bargain bonanza on Bay if Zeus waives his NMC.

Further, the goalie market is absolute poop. More choices in 2025 when JT/Marner money is freed up.

Nobody is going to make a trade for Marner that helps the Leafs out (like a Saros for Marner dream), and I don't believe they'll play hardball with JT.

Absolutely ZERO chance of an extension though. Can't happen.

Right!?

that's a double edge sword. if you do that, how will the team attrak UFA to come the team.
you will have to overpay them come and play for the Leafs.

Stay away from my #Optobus.

I need it for the draft lottery tonight.

Although I get why you're interested, it carried us to the finals in 2021.
