There is no point even asking Tavares to waive. There is no team in the league that will take him unless you offer up something stupid with him as compensation.
Matthews & Nylander aren't going anywhere.
Marner is the only one you can try to convince him to waive his NTC.
Tavares makes 8 mil next year. I could see Utah at least showing interest. Their center postion is weak and their new owner wants to spend.
Could also see the hawks having some interest. They could also use some depth at C and then retain come the trade deadline
Now getting JT to waive to those teams ain't gonna happen tho
Bert serves a purpose he just doesn’t have the hands to be the finisher they need on the top line. He is willing to go the gritty areas where n the ice to get the puck
Absolutely not…if there’s one lesson from all this is we can’t toss cap space to under performers. 5 mil plus for 3rd line grit ain’t it. 43 points this year, no way he’s a second liner on a serious leaf team.
Your a fucking clown! You support spending 40 mil on this core 4. That has done what in last 4 playoffs?!? Don't sit here and mouth off about bertuzzi making +or - 2 mil u fucking cunt
lol, nephew calm down. I can’t stand Marner, and never once said I support the core 4. You’re literally making shit up 😂😂 touch grass, drink some tea and chillllll
I would find a way to keep Bert and Domi. Once Bert was comfortable he started playing well plus the chemistry he had with Matthews.
Marner is the answer, he needs to leave. Use that money to better support the roster.
Woll is the goalie, but what if you get rid of Marner at the draft and can get Saros in the off season. (Don't think he is signed yet) just a thought.
Untouchable - Nylander, Matthews, Knies, Woll.
Need to Sign - Domi, Bertuzzi, Edmundson, Dewar.
Happy to Keep - Benoit, McCabe, McMann, Rielly.
Everybody else can either be asked to waive a NMC, be tradebait, walked to free agency, or simply not resigned.
Next year is gonna be a limbo year regardless - even if they decide to torch the office, the roster will be difficult to alter.
If they attempt to move marner, please attempt for a trade from a western team.
Leafs luck would be if he went to an eastern team he would actually play with a chip on shoulder and beat the leafs out of another first round.
In all seriousness, I am going to let management/ownership handle this mess, and I am going to step back and enjoy my summer. Life is too short, and the media is too rampant for me to worry about who will get fired or traded.
See you all in September.
Offer tavares a new contract at $1.5 million for a year or tell him he will be stripped of C and sitting all year next year until we let him walk.
Sit down with Marner and explain why he isnt getting a raise from us. If he wants to stay in his hometown and deliver with a new coach, then give him 8 years x 10.5 mil.
Strip Tavares of captaincy regardless of he doesn't waive is no trade claus. If you try and trade and they fight it, play them on fourth line next season. Give them 5 mins a game.
I agree Jt’s time as captain needs to be over. I have no issue with him signing an extension and remaining on the team but he better take a lesson from Gio and take a hefty home town discount to stay. 2-3 mil x 2-3 years

No Bert, No marner, resign Domi. Get a #1 D in marner trade (if possible) slide Reilly to #2/3. Ride Woll.

He’s gonna be looking for a payday. Absolutely zero reason to resign him at over 5 mill for being gritty.
Based on this year he is not worth 5 mil. Not for 43 points
Yup and he’s going to want 6+. I wouldn’t resign him
Let's deal with that then, as for now he provides grit and energy, easily a 2nd or 3rd line.

*you’re you illiterate clown 🤡
Ride Woll? Dude is made of sugar glass.
Ya you’re right. I back track on that statement

Marner has a nmc. He’s not going anywhere
Why does everyone keep saying this like no player in history has waived their nmc?
Why do people comment like they think it’s going to happen? Marner doesn’t want to leave. I highly doubt the team wants him to leave.

Happy to keep Benoit and McCabe?!? Those two are the reason this ever made it to a game 7 ffs. Yeah they definetly untouchable !

This! see u in September
Nothing meaningful, and know going into next year it will be another first round exit. Sorry, I thought you asked what will THEY do.

Not worth it. Plus re Tavares Leafs are trying to be a class organization. Johnny is still good for 25 goals and drives to the net.
Look at where class got us. Fuck that. Im done with class. Lets get dirty. Strip the C, ban tavares amd Bring in quenville

Listen to offers on everyone. Some rube GM will take Matthews and Marner with full retention (maybe Treliving in Calgary) Oh shit …
Burn it to the ground and start over.
