I'm aware of this Busta. Only once you reach UFA years can you receive a NMC/NTC. For example, Cale Makar would only be eligible to have a NTC clause in the last year of his current deal. I'm not arguing whether these players had some form of trade protection. Again, my argument is that Marner...

Here's is a list of, what I think we can agree on, top players that did not receive a full NMC/NTC like Marner received, on the deal that took them to UFA status: Alex Ovechkin, Leon Draisaitl, John Tavares, David Pastrnak, Alex Barkov, Cale Makar, Johnny Gaudreau, Jonathan Huberdeau, Carey...

If you look at Tampa Bay, their re-signings of Kucherov, Brayden Point, Hedman, Sargachev, Hagel, all received a modified a no-trade clause in the last 3 years of their deals. (Hedman's newest contract signed in '24 has a full NMC that takes him until his age 38 season).

Matthews is looking good.

Exactly, he didn't have a full no move clause. Sorry, the crux of my argument was that Leafs management should have had a partial no trade in the final year of Marner's contract.

Mikko Rantanen.

A no trade clause is a concession to the player that is detrimental to the team. If the player is demanding a full no trade clause or he won't sign, then don't sign the player. A no trade clause doesn't say I want to be here, players with no trade clauses get moved all the time. It says I want...

Yes, it's another colossal management screw up. if Marner wanted all the money he doesn't get NTC is last year of the deal. Maybe this is a cultural change that Leafs management can implement. Maybe a team rule where you only get NMC/NTC if you sign for the max term? And still I'd put partial...

Still, paying 3.9m and giving up a 1st and Grebenkin to fill your 4th line center spot is not a good look. I really think Laughton should be put on the 2nd line LW spot with Tavares and Nylander.

This is a very good point I haven't heard a lot of people make. If the Leafs had sent the package of 2-1st plus Cowan and Minten, and then have Mitch leave in free agency, that would have been a colossal screw up of asset management.

Steve Valiquette is a great radio guest. For me it's Stolarz until he falters in the playoffs.

Järnkrok is done.

I'd say Pavel Datsyuk is a fair comparable to Mitch Marner for a guy who won a cup.

The Leafs play so slowly with their possession based character bringing it through the neutral zone, it might be hard for them to counter that.

Holmberg is straw that stirs drink.

I loved Sundin killing penalties. He was really goos at it. I like the best players doing it all. Now, would I have my best guys being the "number one" PK unit? Maybe not.

Ok, I heard your criticisms and made corrections. I reversed the Carlo and Rantanen trades. Kampf was put on waivers and was sent to the minors because no one would take his contract because of the bonus money owed. Knies refused my 2-years @$4m bride deal so he held out and isn't on the roster...

Sorry, CW those trades were not anything I think or suggest would happen. Puckpedia makes you make a trade to get a player off the books. This was simply just the hypothetical and theoretical ability that that the Leafs could fit Rantanen and Marner on the roster. By no means was I suggesting...

Would have to send out Domi or Woll as well to get the numbers to work. But it's possible: https://puckgm.puckpedia.com/rosters/418224

If Bennet was on the Leafs he'd spend so much time in the penalty box he'd never see the ice.
