I’m fine with that. At this point Leafs need cap space. Put a second rounder or something on that and it’s fine.

0% chance Tre doesn’t go out to try and find a Gubberson-type player for $4 mil anyway so why not just get the real thing and free up some room at the same time.

Rielly isn’t bad he’s just simply among the worst defensive defencemen in the league. If you have someone very good in that role to pair with him I think he’ll succeed but the Leafs haven’t been able to do that for ten fucking years for some reason so
First of all, I would not have believed we would ever reach the point where Gudbranson would be suggested as the positive side of a cap dump, but I guess all things are possible.

Second, babysitting offensive D men is exactly what Gudbranson did well this year. Maybe keep Reilly and take on Gubberson. Jenner, Gubberson and a second for whichever of the core four falls furthest out of favor?

Congrats, that’s the new Ballard, Raymond and a second. You’re gonna need to pay the Canucks royalties now.

As long as they get a cap recapture penalty and have to forfeit a pick.

/It will be a very interesting off-season for Tre and company.
i would imagine quite a house clean will occur if they bow out tomorrow.

You forgot to throw in Olivier as a sweetner.

You know, more of that playoff snarl.......

Yeah, I have to think Woll starts tomorrow and that Sammy has played his last game for the Leafs. Does Tre try to fix the goaltending by maybe making a play for Markstrom in the off-season?

We're saving him as trade bait for when the league expands to Mississippi.

No no no.

He is going to land Saros. For Marner. And both teams will be 20 points worse next year.

Leaf fans starting to lose it

Sid Sixiero had a bit of a hissy fit as well, swearing that he wouldn't even bother watching the next game.
