I agree with you about Bennett. I think Marchand's enough of a sicko to be down for it though.

Getting Duchene, who's coming off an 82-point season, for just $4.5mil feels like a bit of a pipe-dream. He might want to come back to Ontario at this stage of his career but it won't be with that much of a home-town/province discount like Tavares. But ultimately yeah this is probably what...

Someone's tell-all book about the last 10-11 years is going to be incredible.

While I like Gavrikov if you're moving on from Rielly you need to find a replacement puck-moving guy somehow.

I'm pretty curious to see what happens with Ekblad. For a top pairing, 6'4", 220 lbs right handed defenceman he doesn't seem to often get a lot of credit. Like The Daily Faceoff has him 10th on their top free agents list behind Ivan Provorov and is only projecting him to sign a 7-year, $6.9mil...

If we want to spend big money: Ehlers If we want to pick up some veterans: Duchene, Marchand, Kane, Giroux, Toews If we want middle-6 scoring options: Granlund, Dadanov, Kuzmenko, Mantha If we want middle-6 two-way options: Suter, Dvorak, Mangiapane If we want bottom-6 physical options...

Especially one that made $7mil a year.

Ya he's not going anywhere. Especially with another trip to at least the conference finals this year.

Don't think anyone is really even remotely surprised by this. Big question right now would be do they look for a new President or does Treliving basically take full reigns here.

The board is meeting today. I'm guessing the decision to not renew him is made there. It's leaked tonight, with an official announcement tomorrow. For what it's worth the Leafs officially announced Dubas wouldn't be getting renewed in 2023 on a Friday as well, exactly a week after being...

Honestly once you account for the inevitable extensions even the 2026 UFA class won't be all that good.

Combining my last two admittedly far-fetched ideas: Knies @ $7mil, Tavares @ $6mil, Kane @ $5mil, Toews @ $2mil (performance bonus heavy), Rielly for Zibanejad, move Jarnkrok after his signing bonus is paid out: Knies-Matthews-Nylander Tavares-Zibanejad-Domi McMann-Toews-Kane...

I was trying to find players with a similar contract to Rielly's that could also maybe benefit from a change of scenery. Mika Zibanejad was the only centre who popped up. They're both signed for 5 more years. Zibanejad is 1 year older and has a $8.5mil AAV vs. Rielly's $7.5mil AAV. Rangers have...

Crazy/whacky/swing for the fences that could be a giant whiff idea for next years 3rd line: re-uniting Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane?

Friedman's apparently wondering about the possibility of the Leafs buying some forwards out. I don't really see that. Jarnkrok and Kampf are the obvious two candidates. Jarnkrok will be entering the last year of his contract. $2.1mil AAV, with a $1.35mil signing bonus due presumably on July...

Lots of players have shut down contract talks during the season and still re-signed. With that said I don't think this will be one of those times.
