Jarnkroke is gone
Patioretty is gone
Kamph is gone
Lorentz is gone
Robertson is gone
Tavares is gone
Run it back. Have some patience. Ask Hyman 😂
I would love to get Rasmus Anderson from the flames
You guys need a rebuild
Jamie Ben is good but they do need someone who can consistently score and provide consistent offence in the playoffs. I don’t really know Jamie Ben all that well but I’m not too sure if he would necessarily do that to the level that Toronto needs.
John Tavares at 5 mil with the condition that he can sit out a few games, and we can start giving some depth guys some more meaningful roles
Leafs just need more effort, plain and simple. Solution is Torts.
Kampf & Holmberg to PIT because DUBAS LOVES HIS GUYS
Not gonna lie, though Jamie, Ben and Chris Crider would be a rough line in the playoffs
The thing Dangle is right about is that you aren’t going to over-perform taking consensus guys. Sort of the definition of getting over-performance is taking guys who seem like a bad idea.
You know who seems like a good idea? Marner!
Keep the core together for another year and give Mathews # 67
Jamie Benn is old and washed. If he were to sign for league minimum, maybe! Maybe! But we keep signing old players and we lose out because they are old and shit. The only thing that makes sense is getting JT for less, like 5-6 million. At the start of the year it was thought 7/7.5 million. Next you get Knies, I still think he signs 8 x 8, which is pricey, but he is young and it might work out. Next, I know people will hate me, but you need Marner, nobody on the market, no two guys on the market, replace what he does. Pay him 12 million and lock him into a short deal. I dont like losing in the playoffs, I want to win a cup. But these other teams that have been beating us all got their guys signed after the pandemic cap freeze or during. We didnt. They are all going to be getting worse. We need to hold on and wait for the light at the end of the tunnel. I hate losing in the regular season and missing the playoffs more than I hate being knocked out in round one or round two.
bringing Kadri back is a crazyyy idea but honestly one I think leafs fans would be excited about for the most part
This was the chance. Time to tear down and rebuild. It will take a few years ro realize that though.
I relly want some deeper lines with broader skills.
Spread the scoring and ad some grit that can also produce points.
We need players like Tkachuk and Marchand. Some toughness with som actual offensiv skills
"Good players don't just forget how to play good hockey."
Ok, so you didn't watch any of the Leaf playoff runs in the last decade. Gotcha.
Sign and trade marner for jt miller
Do very little this year and wait to sign McDavid
Ya lost me when ya got to Jamie Benn and mentioned his playoff numbers and then said you wanted him despite his shit playoff numbers.. like this is part of the problem? Give your head a shake.
Marchand used the 4 Nations to win the hearts of leafs fans
Jamie Benn at 1.5 for 1 year…sure. Anything more, no thanks.
the Leafs are good- not much needed to get them over the hump and go deep in the playoffs- personally one thing I would like to see the Leafs get is a really mobile defenceman- someone who could really quarterback a powerplay- would free up the Leafs potent offence to do what they do- and that is score- Aaron Ekblad of the Panthers might become available- he is entering the final year of his contract
Promote and activate the leafs farm team up to the NHL next year. Bet you get better results!
It doesn’t help that all this is happening with an arguably very weak free agent class
2017 Ottawa Post-Playoff vibes
how aboot; a TEMPORARY moov to; oh Quebec City? Win a few COUPES<<<< then back to Tranna!!??
..players with attitude who may want to win…look across the room at tha girls Mitchy, Willy and Matty and realize winning with these softies is not happening..the future has been wasted on solid players who leave…
I'd be fine with Tavares, Ehlers and Marchand. (And give Cowan a roster spot)
We just need goals.
Get a second line center and put Tavares on the third line. I like Domi better on the wing. I like the idea of trading Reilly for Naz but we'll need to bring in actual offensive defenseman.
Ah Steve is in the bargaining stage in his stages of Leaf Grief.
So we aren't building thru draft or prospects also Marner and Tavares are the 1 & 2 free agents. Brace now for the embarrassment of having Mathews and not making the playoffs at all.
Kadri coming back would make my heart whole
Ehlers could be good… just saying.
Great video! Your analysis is improving as your beard turns grey.
Rebuild Marner in the aggregate…..😅
sign marchand
The Leafs have invested a lot of money and a lot of draft picks in bringing in veteran leadership over the years. Why have their highest paid players been unable to provide that leadership?
HEAR ME OUT: RESIGN MARNER, IT'LL WORK THIS TIME. JUST HAVE FAITH
With such a weak FA class this year, i like the idea of not spending it all, and becoming a 3rd team facilitator role at the trade deadline to restock some draft picks, all the names in this video scare me
And the scariest thought of all.. remove marner and tavares and the buds have ONE line. Knies/Matthews/Nylander
Brad Marchand wins where ever he goes. Except to the bench with 7 seconds left in the first period.
