2021-22 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

Dermott always seemed like an absolutely terrific person. Wish he was a slightly more terrific defenceman.

He could get bigger minutes in another situation.  I don't think we are going to be making the same mistake we made with Stralman, but he's a proven NHL defenseman and should bring a moderate return.
 
JT and Nylander were -3 each last night, JT with Marner was a different player during Matthews' suspension, JT had his best year with Marner in his entire career. It looks like Keefe just likes the idea of a dominant line which is fine if there's another reasonably competent/productive line backing it up, the question is does JT and Nylander have enough chemistry to be the backup line? Earlier in the year JT and Nylander were having very good seasons, Nylander is in the midst of his most productive year offensively so the potential of them together does seem excellent but on the +/- scale they are both negatives so they need help beyond Kase or Kerfoot.

Splitting up Austin and Mitch seems like a no brainer but will that affect their productivity, negatively, isn't it better to have at least one great line than having 2 watered down lines that aren't as effective as what we have now?

With these prices, maybe the leafs should be sellers. Dermott for a first and a prospect.

I don't have high hopes for a long run so actually makes sense but you're not getting a first for him I don't think. When all the D core is healthy he's expendable so why not recoup some picks. God knows we could use some. As I posted on the game day threads ship Nylander out in a deal for Chychrun. Change the complexion of this team this core that Dubas has stuck with. I understand losing Willy will hurt our offence but if you can bring Chychrun in that gives you a top 2 defender and then you could ship out some D to try and fill in the loss of Nylander. Jakob has an unreal contract as well so depending on the deal may leave you some cap for next season. Any decent UFA forwards available this summer?
 
I have a feeling a biggie is on the way.  I can see Holl, Kerfoot, Dermott and Robertson and picks all on the table, perhaps even Nylander.  Just stay away from Knies and Niemela.

Nylander won't be in the table... Don't see it happening. Maybe in the off season of things don't go well in the playoffs

I don't think it's likely but if the right deal is to be had I could see Willy going, Dubas' pledge notwithstanding.

More likely is that the biggest piece going out would be Kerfoot.

I bet Dubas has a deal for Mrazek and once he clears waivers the deal will go through. Hope he goes
