[Tarmore]

0 points in 6GP

I personally didn't feel he was a factor at all.

I thought he should have been given PP opportunities over a guy like Jarnkrok though.

He made many smart plays in the playoffs. I see a good future for him in this league.

1 goal, 3 primary assists, 5 points through 40 minutes for Easton Cowan in Game 1 of the OHL Finals. He's been involved in each Knights goal

 

[Tarmore]

He is flying tonight
Knies and Cowan just dreaming

You should see some of that in pre-season at some point. I would guess.

 

[mogs]

Knights have more PP goals in two periods than the Leafs has in seven games.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Cowan is way too good. Smart decision-maker, hard worker, and tremendous skill.

Leafs have a special one in him for sure.

I can easily see him make the team next season.

im super excited/curious to see how our new coach(whomever it might be) handles the young guys on the team like robertson. i never liked how keefe handled skilled young players on the leafs. might be a new lease on life for a few guys, alot of the rooks the past number of years played scared to be scratched and that can really mess with your game imo.

I would be less excited and more worried if I were you.

Robertson needs to play with a center who can give him the puck, he’s never really had that other than Domi. It was insane for Keefe to not at least try Robertson on PP1 with that shot.

 

[LaPlante94]

Was wondering where Sennecke was because I was looking forward to watching him but he's injured. Not good news for Oshawa if he misses more games.

I have been looking for signs that he's learning to play against bigger players and I think he has. He's still a puck hound but not putting himself in vulnerable positions any more. He has trouble with puck battles but once he learns to get "inside" on a bigger player he can use leverage to win some of those. If he can't get into that position then stay above the puck. These 2 things and quick stick lifts a la Matthews and Nylander and he'll be fine to go along with his offensive abilities. Put him in a position to succeed and I believe he can score 30-ish goals down the line.

Next season
Cowan in
Marner out

Leafs gain cap space voila

If given the opportunity, I think Holmberg has that capability to be a good setup guy. He had some good stretches of play at times, but he does need to bring more.

Leafs already have the Marner replacement in the system and he's also from the Knights.

They aren’t moving Marner folks. He’s from Toronto, why would he waive his NMC? I could only see it happen if they sign and trade him on a 8 year deal that he agrees to, instead of signing a 7 year free agent deal. Extra year in his mid 30s.

 

[The Iceman]

For me it was Carlyle and Quenneville.

Kehoe, Boschman, Courtnall.

Bookmark this until one week after July 1st and see if you are correct...I will go out on a limb and say he is moved.

If they trade him, the new team can sign him to an 8 year deal as well. He'll likely get moved.

I think it is likely to happen before July 1st, and hopefully before draft day.

 

[djdev]

can we keep the prospects thread away from trades and current player talk etc plz? its got no place here lol. i can go read 20 other threads if i wanna hear about trades.

Mitch gets a 7.25 million bonus on July 1st, then only 775k in salary for the year. I'd be surprised if he's moved before the bonus is paid.

The cap is rising - if you really want to maximize your $ as a player you do what Matthews did.

Sign a 3/4 year deal, and then sign an 8 year deal at 30 years old after the cap has risen over the next few years.

 

[djdev]

theres literally a mitch marner thread already.

 

[Stephen]

What is Kieffer Bellows career pathway? Any chance he’s our version of a Marchment, Verhaeghe style reclamation and late bloomer?

It’s certainly possible, I just don’t see it happening. Especially after his recent comment about being “gods” in this market. Why would the hometown kid ever waive his clause? They can threaten him with limited usage, etc., at the end of the day it would do the team more harm then good. I just personally don’t see Marner or Tavares waiving. Don’t blame them either.

Excited about Greb and Cowan pushing for roster spots next year though. Hopefully they are ready to go in camp.

I might be wrong but i thought Marner was not eligible to sign a new deal extension until July 1.
Then the new team can execute a sign and trade and get his 8 years.
