I won't get too worked up about it right now, especially if it becomes clear there's a bit of a rotation going on, but the closer we get to the end of the regular season if Holmberg is still playing in a top-9 role somewhere it'll make me really, really hope Pacioretty is only out until playoffs...

Willy setting Holmberg up for those empty netters has cursed us.

I don't think the Leafs should want Marner to walk or that we should be happy if he does, but I also don't really think the team would be screwed if that's what happens. We would still have what should be one of the very best top lines in the league in Knies-Matthews-Nylander (Willy playing...

He practiced as the 7D on Friday and Berube called him doubtful still. So probably misses another game.

I think it's kinda simple. Some teams are only going to be comfortable paying Marner/Rantanen types $12mil-ish. Some teams would be comfortable paying them $13-15mil probably. It's going to come down to what kind of team does Marner want to spend the rest of his career with.

The trades today at least provide a little bit of cost certainty for next season which should help the Marner negotiations one way or another. They would have certainly paid much more than $5mil for a 3C and top-4 RHD if those came via free agency.

Cool.

I think Kipper usually has pretty solid intel but this just feels insane. Leafs would cough up two 1sts and also their two best prospects for one big playoff run and then have to let Marner walk by extending Rantanen instead of him? And they'd go into playoffs without a real 3C and real RHD for...

So with Laughton (50% retained), Carlo (15% retained), Timmins and Dewar dealt, Reaves assigned to the Marlies, and Pacioretty placed on LTIR the Leafs have a 22-man roster with about $200k in cap space. I haven't really seen it mentioned yet but it's likely that Pacioretty (and of course...

I wish Grebenkin the best. It'd be funny to see him torch Pittsburgh as a Flyer after Dubas+Clark were the ones to draft him.

I think it's probably fair to say he has the strengths and weaknesses you would expect from a big defensive defenceman. But he's the #3/4 version of that and we've seen Rielly have success with the #6/7 version of that defenceman before so in theory it should be a terrific fit. His numbers in...

Treliving just said 15% retention on Carlo.

Officially, no. Unofficially it's generally believed Minten and a 1st plus Timmins and Dewar as cap dumps to Pittsburgh.

With Carlo in and Timmins+Dewar out, Reaves sent to the Marlies, and Pacioretty placed on LTIR the Leafs would have a 22 man roster that's about $400k over the cap. So there must be some retention involved here.

I'm guessing handedness and Benoit having a bit of a rough season will really open the door to Myers grabbing that last spot.

Well we'll have to wait and see what the full deal ends up looking like. Minten as the primary piece for THREE playoff runs for Carlo didn't really feel like nearly enough. Minten plus a 1st is certainly tough to swallow, but man that's still an incredible top-4 d-core to lock in for a few...

I now understand why the Canucks are by-far the leakiest team in the league. Allvin will just say anything to anyone.

Yeah don't really get the logic in that one for San Jose.
