2025-26 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

The offseason isn't over on July 4.
Free agency basically is. This isn't like a lot of years where there are really solid middle 6 forwards who are going to sit around until August to get a contract. Any upgrades to the team are going to cost assets through trades now. That's all I'm getting at

I guess you could point to the fact that all the Leafs' bigger additions that weren't returning players were acquired via trade and there's more time for trades.
 
Stolarz aside, I kind of prefer Treliving’s trade history to his UFA signing history.

It’s a pretty terrible UFA crop to be involved in.
 
Soooooo what's going on with Nicky Bobby?
It's a curious one. Like I really don't see any way of him coming back. I also think we (myself included) often don't see him as being particularly valuable but he's got back to back season of 14-15 goals, and that's in limited games/minutes/PP time. Over the past two seasons combined he's 15th in the league in 5-on-5 goals per 60 minutes. Surely that'd mean something to someone out there.

He just seems like another one of those players the Leafs will send on down the road and he'll be the next Carter Verhaege.
