Yup. In a perfect world, maybe he's a bit faster and/or we don't have all of him/Boeser/Chiasson/Schenn on the roster... but there's nothing wrong with what Pearson brings, for his cap it. People who thought otherwise when he was extended, don't know WTF they're talking about. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 ONe of HOrvat or Miller will likely be traded. Hopefully it's Miller. But is we sign Miller then Bo would be the man out. The return for Bo would be a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Gary will be rubbing his hands with glee. Or, the Leafs are bounced early this year and next, but in 2023-24 they do (finally) win it - perish the thought!. The plot twist would be that the 2024 Leafs are fighting to get a wild card spot. They (still) can't stop goals being scored on them. Matthews is moved at the TDL, because he has told the Leafs he wants out, and he is refusing to play any more games for them. He wants to be moved to Arizona or he would allow his contract to run out, so if they trade him at the TDL, at least the Leafs get something for him. The package going to the Leafs would include (but not be restricted to): Arizona's 2024 1st, various picks/prospects, plus Erikksson, Beagle and Roussel (who are all playing well, and have all been signed to very short term, team friendly deals). The defensive leadership from these three former Canucks would give the Leafs the ability to win it all in the finals.... regards, G.

Did he say this somewhere that he wants to play back in Ari or is it just a rumor? Because I cannot imagine why he would ever want to leave Toronto for Arizona. They are terrible, they've been terrible, the arenas are empty, at the moment I don't think they are even playing in their arena. It's just a mess, so I don't see why a player of Matthews caliber would wanna go kill his career in the desert. Sure maybe he will one day wanna leave Toronto, but I feel like there are so many other hockey cities (including in America) that would make so much more sense to him as a player. Anyway not super important just keep noticing this narrative and it feels more like hockey fans who hate the leafs trying to spread this around then it actually being a likely outcome.

Yup. Toronto Maple Leaves... Matthews will (probably) always get paid where-ever he decides to play, so I suppose it will come down to his desire to win a Cup (assuming he hasn't won one with the Leafs) vs playing in his home town, regardless of what the team looks like. regards, G.

Blitz-Pix Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I don't think Arizona's new 5000 seat arena will generate enough revenue to pay Mathews...unless he takes a HUGE home team discount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see getting rid of Brock as a major risk, as his skating has hindered him this year after an early season injury. Even so, he has since revamped his game quite a lot this year and is now getting greasy goals around the net. Of course, the cap hit is what matters most right now, but trading Brock has the greatest potential of biting us in the arse when he goes elsewhere and continues to produce at the pace he is right now. A good offseason of getting back to 100% could do wonders for him, and I really think locking him up could leave us with a goal scorer producing above his pay grade for many years. I think getting something for Motte is a must. I'd like to try and get rid of Poolman before Myers and Hamonic. Brock is 25 years old. He is going into his prime years of his career.
