I don't get the 2nd on top there. We basically traded Woll AND Knies for Marchenko, cap dump and an overpaid Miles Wood (2.5M) Seeing how Knies plays against Tampa be prepared for him to score 15 goals against us this year

12.5 seems fine after getting one more year under 4. Leafs better not be adding more to the trade though

The flip side is Columbus also has no cap space...so they would need to clear almost 4M in space to fit Knies in this year if it was a 1 for 1 trade. The Leafs can take on Marchenko if Knies goes the other way. Columbus can't without shedding salary.

That's kind of my thinking. If Marchenko is getting an extra 5 million dollar cost on top of Knies salary I'm not sure its worth a 1 for 1. Kirill is the better player at this point in time (2 years older than Knies) Marchenko is making 3.85M this year so the Leafs have to move 4 million...

Ummm....I'm not sure if I like the smoke pluming around Marchenko or not.

A great final start for Scherzer. Springer got a hit to go out on. That's great. Max actually was decent after he came back at the end of July. 4.14 ERA (3.82 FIP). I don't think I'm comfortable relying on him back again next year if he decides to pitch but I could see him wanting to give...

I'm not saying this is a Cup contending blueline but Button is a blowhard

I'm kind of surprised that Rifai and Tverberg cleared. Not necessarily guys who blow you out of the water but they seem like take a shot players that are easy enough to put back on waivers if they don't work out

I didn't think the team looked terrible in the Montreal game (although the underlying metrics did). Obviously they looked much better last night. It's still preseason games. Its still meaningless hockey. Usually October hockey is pretty terrible with high scoring/bad defensive efforts. I...

The offense is so bad that I think the manager decisions gets wiped away but I feel like the coaching/in game decision making has been very poor. Clement has a .465 OPS since the beginning of August. He's clearly hurt. Schneider just plays him every day regardless of result. Vlad Jr staying...

I wonder how true that is about the offence. With an absolutely dreadful season last year the team put up 253 goals. They also gave up a dreadful 299 goals. That was a team that had Matthews, Nylander and Knies injured and playing through injury. It was a blue line that had McCabe hurt...

I think the biggest thing about Shapiro is think of him less as the Xs and Ox guy and more of the guy who spearheaded the renovations to the training facilities in Dunedin....the retrofits of Buffalo during COVID, and the revamping of the Skydome. I think Shapiro is more of what you want in a...

That's definitely going to be part of his development curve. I think there were a few plays where he had a great set up and his teammates weren't expecting the puck to get there. That will come with chemistry. Where he seemed to struggle a bit was when he was closed off and didn't have the...

Matthews looks really good And Raddysh with his first

I've seen enough Matthews had a rush with speed that I don't think we have seen in the last two years

That has to be pretty darn close to our opening night lineup.

Not just a powerful player agent....but the agent of the John Tavares. Pretty easy to get a favour for your kid from a client.

I feel like this is really the biggest thing. The league went fast and the Leafs decided to go slow. Dump and chase needs heavy play but it also needs speed to get in and pressure the attack. The Leafs did soft dump ins into the corners but they would be preceded by 2 minutes of being hemmed...

I know this is the time of year to be unreasonable optimistic because nothing has gone wrong and everything is new and shiny but the early vibes do seem much more upbeat. I enjoy listening to Chayka when he talks about the team. It does seem like we have more voices in the dressing room...
