GDT: Trades & Free Agency

[Tony Romo]

I wonder what Weegar would cost to acquire. For some reason I’m not overly scared about how that contract would age.

I think it's more an issue with CGY/TOR relations.

 

[Legion34]

I kinda wonder if we look at Kylington.

He may be cheap and can move the puck.

Rielly. Roy/pesce.
Mccabe. Tanev/demelo
Benoit. Kylington

 

[Dreakmur]

Rielly _

Benoit McCabe

3 new D needed next year.

Exactly that

I wouldn't bet on too many flames Toronto trades happening for a while.

There was enough smoke this season that suggests there may be a reluctance to deal with Tre. Imo Zadarov would have been a Leaf this season if that wasn't not the case

I kind of wonder if Treliving is going to be the GM in a few weeks.

I’m a little worried with Zadorov being a free agent that he’s going to be Treliving’s top target on the blueline. I’d love his size and physicality but he’s definitely going to get overpaid.

He hasn't done anything to merit being fired. Dubas lasted 5 years and was offered an extension even though he made mistake after mistake.

If Shanahan goes, the new guy likely wants his GM... but he likely gives Tre a shot to buy into his vision.

I'll be very transparent. He was not my preferred guy (by a long way) to take the GM spot last season, and perhaps you're right that he hasn't done anything. But if there's going to be a clear-out, then I don't know why he should be exempt as well.

It should be when not if.

I would love to get one of the Vegas guys to completely change the culture here. McCrimmon or McPhee here would be awesome.

I think you should brace yourself for seeing the exact same management team and coaching staff next season, and basically the same lineup save for a couple of new defensemen and one new goalie.

The conservative nature of hockey management suggests that they may, even if they bomb out of the playoffs in the next few days.

But then we should brace ourselves for similar results, and it doesn't mean I have to support it.

Unlikely

We lose first round then at minimum keefe is fired

Shanahan and Treliving get 1 last shot on the hot seat

They are going to win the first round, and I think that will be enough to save the coaching staff and bulk of the signed lineup (UFAs are a different story). Meanwhile, in Ottawa I am sure they are just waiting to see if Boston cuts Monty loose after this season.

 

[Legion34]

Coop may shake free. He loves the team. Knows they just need good coaching.

Shanahan shouldn't be getting another chance either and he's lucky to still be there IMO.

and Keefe is likely as well, which leaves Treliving in a sort of lame-duck spot. That's why it's easier just to nuke the lot and start over as far as the management goes.

Feels like Shanny has been on the hot seat for a while.

I don't really care what they do with Tre, you could give him another kick at the can, but handling the Marner situation is a little dicey given he's been taken so badly by pending UFAs and lost Tkachuk the way he did

Id fire all 3 if we lose but whats the pt....

No retool possible really or wanted by MLSE. New Prez/GM likely keeps same core 4 philosphy and we tey to win with this group and different depth pieces

Nylander extended, marner either extends a bad deal or walks, and tavares possibly gets another deal

For serious change to happen we need two of 4 forwards to not be leafs by 2026 with 2 better LT contract fit for the core

If they can somehow make ECF this year you run back the core

 

[Playoffsareoverrated]

I really think the Leafs should bolster our defense by adding some big men who can defend our goal and our players, such as Ristolainen.

Such as Ristolainen

If there is any chance Tampa looks to shed some salary, I’d be ALL over Cernak. He’s literally exactly what we need next to Rielly. I’d be willing to even overpay, a 1st, Liljegren and Robertson.

Even if JT resigns it won't be on a core player salary, so he automatically comes out of the core after this year.

 

[Jozay]

No idea why the Leafs would want JT back.

 

[TMLAM34]

No idea why the Leafs would want JT back.

Unless they do some serious damage in the playoffs, I agree… He’s a solid player but under his captaincy, the Leafs have constantly failed to accomplish anything. Sometimes you need to change the voices in the locker room.
