I think he means the older, better brother

I, for one, wanted to trade him before the NMC so the team could have a better chance at balancing the lineup, and get rid of the negotiation cycle, and give Marner some peace to find joy in the game again. I was pretty sure a sign and trade could be done in an amicable fashion (he could’ve...

He doesn't want a couple weeks to plan where to go?

Have you ever seen a contract that was designed specifically for a pump and dump?

Beauties

MLSE doesn't have a biotech division and maybe they ought to (like China and Russia selectively breeding for Olympians)

If I actually worked for the Leafs, we wouldn't be in this situation lol The off ice stuff affects the on-ice product. Consider the brain space spent dealing with the Marner camp uses up; multiple really good Toronto players who wanted to commit here got boxed out (while Marner's camp publicly...

I think Winnipeg was a bit of a drama llama during Ehler's two contracts (Evander Kane, Patrik Laine all having run-ins with Scheifele and Wheeler; Byfuglien jumping ship as well). Ehler's is probably eyeballing Minnesota (this would be hilarious) or Utah or Seattle. Everyone's always happy...

Talent out the door, yes; I have a different opinion on the level of utility being lost here, but still there is a loss nonetheless. To say it's the best Leaf player being lost for virtually nothing is a stretch, though; maybe you are more flexible than I am. But I think this makes the Leafs a...

Dreger is reporting that Ehlers wants a quiet landing spot and Winnipeg was even considered a bit too much.

2026-27 salary cap is currently projected at 104M, which is another 8.5M on top of this season's. So let's say we want to offer 16M to entice a hometown veteran to play for the Cup alongside Matthews and Nylander, it's not too hard to clear out 7ishM (Domi + OEL or Woll, who knows what the sheet...

Kaaaaaaaadddddrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii would be fun

Marner basically stating this was the case for the past 2ish years, but also disengaging with any trade talks or extensions, after Shanahan forced the front office to let the NMC kick in is not helping his PR.

Travis Boyd is back! Marlies reinforcements more than anything.

Wow; thanks, but no thanks

Helping Anaheim approach the cap floor (still need to extend McTavish)

Exactly. I liked the Eklund extension but that’s not a free agent. I’m flipping through the cap strapped and the teams that ought to be sellers for options. Our trade asset pool is limited.

Treliving meeting with the press now-ish, indicating the Leafs are more or less done with day 1 UFA signings. Treliving’s pattern with the Leafs has generally been to re-sign the internal extensions, and then sign a fighter day 1, and dive into the bargain bin day 2...
