Start playing Matthews in the offensive zone.

This move probably means AJ Greer will be available in free agency. Worth a look for the Leafs bottom 6.

They probably should have paid it. At the time I didn't think too much of the trade, other than the Leafs needed a RH D, I thought Minten and a 1st was a bit much, and Carlo was a name I knew from previous post-seasons. I didn't know he only had 9 points at the time of the trade and wasn't...

I'm not 100% sure. There are almost no decent left shot D available in free agency. Rielly is still a good player. I could see a GM thinking a change of scenery might unlock more from him. I'm not saying the return will be huge, but I do think Rielly could return a useful part.

My thought on this is that they got Carlo confused with McAvoy. Another Jeff Finger situation.

I think you make 2 good points on why they should pause on the rebuild, at least for now.

Are you getting any more for those players trading them before this season starts or if you wait until the trade deadline?

One down season and "REBULD!" ...seems like an overreaction. All factors considered, worth giving it half of next season to see how the team looks under a new coach and reinforcements. Can still sell at next years deadline if this team is still a lost cause. The core of Lightning players that...

And they let him orchestrate a bizarre Knies trade for futures under their watchful eye which thankfully didn't go through. 😂 😂 😂

The Leafs currently have 6 good NHL defensemen on the roster. I can't remember the last time we could say that.

That is where puck retrievals and zone exits from the back end are going to be crucial.

Time for Chayka to unlock his inner Cliff Fletcher: *The rights to RFA Nicholas Robertson.

I'm thinking Rielly being the 'lesser' player on his pairing. They've never tried that before. Less minutes, less pp time. He doesn't have to be "The Man" and gets to play with a good player (also something they're rarely done in Rielly's time as a Leaf).

The trade that led to the pick used to select Easton Cowan? I dunno, man. Rasmus Sandin ain't THAT good.

The right side D was a complete dumpster fire last year. Possibly worst in the league last season.

Rielly/Raddysh top pairing could be good...

I think this is good:

🤞 Also, Raddysh pyjama pic incoming.

Updated roster projection after Raddysh signing. I still think they are going to pivot from Rielly and bring in another RD but I wonder how good a Rielly/Raddysh pairing could be:

So, apparently this new front office is going to bring in good players instead of mediocre players. Interesting strategy.
