Brad Treliving is doing a great job.

[Apex Predator]

Thanks for the snark. So I have to assume you made the NTC terms up then?

It’s hard to find an actual list with all the teams but here a link to video with speculation that all the Canadian team are on the list expect the maple leafs.

Thank you for answering my honest question. I appreciate it.

They should have won the first round, but there was no urgency early in that series, however if they kept the same schedule as Boston/Florida, they likely would be finished by now.

Realistically Leafs didn't have really good odds against either Boston to Florida because both of those teams have elite top 3 goaltending,

I am really looking forward to see whom BT will be bringing in this year to play alongside Woll as Leafs goalies in 2024-25.

Boston lost 2 top centers in the offseason but still managed to beat us because they are built from the net out.

Build a solid D core with good goalies, strong North/South style with 1 or 2 stars and go.

Bobrovsky is sporting a 0.892 in the playoffs and gave up a beach ball from the blueline to Carlo in the last game. Florida scores goals though, so they can overcome a bad goal here or there.

You can't hang out with a tough guy and become tougher, it's either in you or it isn't.
Freddie The Goat was 6'5 240lbs and he was as dangerous as my 12 year old son.

No chance Lily suddenly grows balls, this is who he is.

Agree. He only played because he’s a RD and better than Brodie who has fallen off a cliff. They drafted a lot of similar smaller, soft supposedly skilled players under Dubas who will never be contributors on a cup contender. You can’t waste high round picks on those type of players.

 

[Metroid]

I was on Over The Cap but I'm looking for specific information on what teams a player might have on their NTC LIST. Didn't see it there.

I'm gonna assume the lists are private and anyone saying who may it be, could be just as wrong as they are right.

 

[Ports]

And hope that the guy sucking the 13.5 million cap hit learns how to play hockey. I’m not convinced that will happen.

69 goals, won game two himself, got hurt and wasn’t a factor the rest of the series. He won the Rocket for the third time, nominated for the Selke and Ted Lindsay by his peers. My criticism of him is he won’t fight or fight back like Pasternak, Kucherov or MacKinnon but no player is perfect so you build a team around him that takes care of the other stuff which Tre has started to do. 6’3” centres who score like he does and play a 200 foot game don’t grow on trees. The core five has been a failure. Fair enough. But he’s 26 years old and has the talent and drive to be a big part of playoff contender with a more complete team around him.

You don't spend 40.4 AAV on 4 forwards. No money left for D or G. NO ONE DOES THIS BUT THE LEAFS.

Next year it's 46.65 on 4 forwards, no D/G.

Dubas is ridiculous to think this is a well constructed plan.

This is his design and his failure.

FAILURE BY DESIGN.

It is a failure to spend that much money on 4 forwards. LET ALONE THESE 4 forwards !

Comedy level construction from a newbie GM.

It's great Shanny gave Kyle and Keefe their first jobs. Cool story bro. But it was a catastrophic failure. What kind of President would do that ? A rookie president like Shanny.

Dubas was bad but his overpayments on the four only consumed 49% of the cap and barring a trade Treliving overpayments will consume 53% of the cap.

Dubas trash pile was Tre’s cross to bear.

When Marner is traded all will be well.

I'm not saying that Tre has done awesome. But you're comparing UFAs vs RFAs coming off their ELC. Dubas was much worse. Nylander doesn't deserve the $11.5 but the other choice was to let him hit free agency. I mean do you let both Marner and Nylander walk? I think overpaying Nylander can be justified. Doesn't mean I like it.

References Winnipeg, a team who did worse than the Leafs...

Colorado won with .900 goaltending.

This is always said by you and always wrong, there are multiple ways to build a team.

Dubas left the cupboard bare and that’s a bigger issue. You have to build your team from the draft and fill in pieces through FA. It will be a little better with Marner’s AAV gone, but the 25 million on the other two players probably makes it all moot.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Ask Canucks fans about physicality, Zadarov has been an absolute STUD this playoffs , recall all the Dubas lovers saying he was a borderline NHLer. Perhaps a pickleball forum to contribute their sport acumen…

So many analytical fans hated the idea of Zadarov. That's why they don't understand hockey.

Exactly!

If you just ignore past seasons and his 25% shooting percentage, you'll realize that he has always and will always be playing at this level.

Friedman and Marek discussing right now how the Canucks are “man handling” the Oilers, just physically dominating them.

 

[FerrisRox]

We did the same thing as everybody else, building around our top players. The only difference is that the league ran into an unexpected multi-year flat cap right after we signed all of ours, which has kept the percentage elevated.

Really? That's the only difference?

Please list all the other teams that tied up all that money in four FORWARDS.

 

[socko]

I see Bobrovsky as the guy that likely costs Florida the Cup. Sure they can beat Boston now because they're the better team, but when they face the New York Rangers who have a legit star goalie, I'm not sure Bob level goaltending is going to cut it.

 

[FerrisRox]

You have to acknowledge that Treliving has to work off those numbers Dubas established and then they are going to expect a raise.

Leafs had 2 X $11 + mil centres and they only contributed 1 goal each in the series. (Matthews injury notwithstanding)

Eastern Conference final standings sorted by least goals against. Check out the teams in the final 4 in the East.. The defense rest your honour.

 

[socko]

When Dubas paid Marner the $11 million, had any other team offer sheeted that to Marner, the Leafs would have been compensated with 4 first round picks. I can safely tell you now, I would have taken the picks.

Now, the best I see for us is Tre letting Marner walk for nothing. Certainly beats paying him. If Tre somehow manages to trade Marner, knowing you have to deal with him directly because of the NMC, knowing he's going to probably demand in the $12 - $13 million range or more because its Marner, and he actually gets a decent return in trade, he should win executive of the year. That would be more impressive than unloading Phaneuf.

Why trade a 3rd & a 5th for Zadorov when you can trade a 3rd & a 6th for Boosh and a 3rd & a 5th for Edmundson?

 

[FerrisRox]

Why trade a 3rd & a 5th for Zadorov when you can trade a 3rd & a 6th for Boosh and a 3rd & a 5th for Edmundson?

Yeah but Zadorov was acquired much earlier, so you'd end up having way more games with him. By cleverly waiting, the Leafs got to hold onto these picks a few months longer and then get not one, but two inferior players for twice the price.
