I kind of said this before but no matter how much better suited Dom is to playing wing until (or if) an addition is made he needs to stay at C. The last few games proved that, and I'd imagine this line-up means Berube feels the same way. McMann-Domi-Robertson has shown flashes of solid play...

Insane San Jose got a 1st rounder for Granlund, especially since they couldn't retain anything on him (they've used up all their retention spots).

Absolutely. But you can definitely do some pretty aggressive cutting if Treliving commits to that. Domi, Kampf, Jarnkrok, Reaves, and Benoit combined is at $10.95mil right now. Can probably cut that in half and get the same contributions. The 2026 offseason would be where the real craziness...

Not sure where needing 3 D comes from with Rielly-Tanev-McCabe-OEL-Benoit-Myers already signed. They aren't carrying 9D of course. Definitely need one top-4ish guy though. They also aren't going to carry a 3rd goalie on the roster so that seems moot. Forward improvements would really need to...

Somewhat expected but those are crazy increases to finally see confirmed. I don't see Marner signing in the 13's if it's at max term. The projected 27/28 cap floor ($83.9mil) will be higher than what the ceiling was last season ($83.5mil)

I had honestly never heard the term Wasatch before in my life prior to yesterday, so I'm pretty stunned it somehow ended up in the final 3. Good change. Outlaws would probably be my vote only because Mammoth isn't pluralized.

I think it was pretty expected actually. The U.S. roster is pretty young and the older ones aren't/haven't been captains in the NHL.

Leafs are clearly going through injury problems right now that are somewhat contributing to this but what's tough to see if that it feels like the coaching staff doesn't want to adjust anything to try to make up for those injuries. Like oh Tavares is out, yeah just plug Holmberg into his spot...

It'd create a logjam on wing for sure. But he's a free asset who would come in here presumably on a cheap contract and is a prototypical Berube forward. Even if he's just a 4th liner who bumps Dewar out of the line-up when he's healthy that could be a plus. If he really clicks in the middle-6...

Berube connection (played with him for 2.5 seasons but post-Cup era in STL). Has size and speed. Scored 26 goals and 42 points last season but struggled this season. Yeah I wouldn't be shocked if the Leafs checked him out.

Quillan is presumably either being sent back to the Marlies or added to the IR if he's hurt in order to remove Pacioretty from the IR later today.

If we're talking about the potential of missing the playoffs, well the team would need to play at below .500 hockey for the rest of the season for that to probably happen. So yeah I don't want to say we're a lock but it's pretty darn close. Playoff position is still obviously up for grabs but...

I get Domi at C is clearly not the best spot for him, but with Tavares out I'm surprised he's still on the wing. Minten continues to not really look NHL ready. I'd rather see Domi at 3C, or maybe even 2C with Marner. That'd also open up a wing spot on the 3rd line for Steeves to try to show his...

I wonder if there's any chance of a Donato for Domi swap with Chicago. From the article: "He’s exactly the kind of player — an energy guy, a depth scorer, a versatile forward who can play any position — who helps make decent teams good, and good teams very good." He almost seems like a mix...

Respectfully, this would be an insane worry to have about your like 15/16 forward who might have the value of a 7th round draft pick.

I'm not really sure how this would impact the decision. Even if he was then playing NHL minutes would only help that.
