Sounds like a Detroit or Buffalo signing

I don't know this space. Anyone look interesting?

I do like that Joshua-Tavares-Roy line, but I think Roy is definitely going to be centring a line, per Treliving. Willy just needs a forechecking LW and a centre who isn't a Domi about defense to be effective. The Leafs are relatively loaded with forechecking LWs (Knies, Joshua, McMann...

Cap Wages has some handy data (sometimes wrong) showing how teams acquire the players in their line up. Leafs 2025 roster ForwardDefenseGoalie Draft411 Trade430 UFA731 Robertson is counted here (draft); Joshua is counted as trade.

You certainly called it upthread. I want to split Tavares and Nylander though. Joshua-Tavares-Maccelli/Domi/Cowan + McMann-Roy-Nylander is what I have in mind. I want Nylander to get more regular season reps in a shutdown role. Coaches avoided that for valid reasons, but building his DZ play up...

https://jhanhky.substack.com/p/what-to-expect-from-dakota-joshua Jack Han worked with Joshua during his stint with the Leafs development team. If he can keep up and setup a forecheck, he'd be a good fit with Tavares-Nylander, or even (heaven forfend) Tavares-Domi.

Victor Johansson drawing national junior team attention. And I guess I am vying for starter’s role between the pipes. (Not really)

He’s doing it!

Troy Terry? Alex Tuch? Vincent Trocheck? edit: Alas, Tuch grew up a Sabres fan

Those guys are all very skilled in their own way, but struggled on their former (garbage) teams. Kudos to their scouting staff and management team for consistently placing good buy low bets. My observation/theory is that under Maurice, they converted to a very simple, but effortful game of...

The Panthers traded out their top 5 draft pick / one-time 100 pt scoring 1st line playmaking winger with middling playoff performances after 10 years to make this happen. (They also picked up Sam Reinhart, Sam Bennett, Carter Verhaeghe, Gustav Forsling for basically spare pucks and Skittles...

It's fun (or sad?) seeing the contrast in scoring methods between the 69 goal season and the injury-riddled 33 goal season. Prior to Matthews in the cap era, Leafs would top out at 37G (Phil x2!); in the era prior Sundin hit 41 G twice. And it's not all sauce from one stick to Matthews; his...

I think if the Leafs had extended Marner (13.5) I would have the same level of despondency some have right now about the team, but since we were able to sign and trade and actually fill an area of need, I feel pretty good. I would’ve felt even better if it was addressed in 2023, however there’s...

I just noticed the number

It's not that much of a gamble; they are known quantities to members of the front office/coaching staff (Doan and Berube respectively) and there are clear mitigating circumstances around their drop off in play last season. Those 2027-28 picks aren't doing anything for the Leafs during their...

I've been poking around the player lists for an RW with size and speed and seems to be underutilized. I've landed on Hudson Fasching, currently unsigned, who is coming off a depth role with the Islanders. 6'3" 205lbs 29 year old RW with speed, and net drive, but depth forward puck skills. He...

Leafs collecting players who’ve recovered from testicular cancer like Infinity Stones
