Je vais juste inclure le texte d’introduction et la liste des joueurs. Ils sont répertoriés de 10 à 1 mais je n’ai pas inclus les chiffres car je n’ai pas envie de me battre avec le formatage des listes de Reddit.
Nous aurions pu aller jusqu’à 25 points avec des attaquants qui s’intégreraient bien aux Maple Leafs de Toronto 2024-2025.
Cet été, la classe des agents libres pourrait manquer de puissance vedette (comme toujours). Cependant, il reste encore de nombreux joueurs utiles. Nous voulions limiter le nombre à 10, mais nous aurions pu échanger n’importe lequel des noms suivants : Matt Duchene, Jake DeBrusk, Sam Reinhart, Jake Guentzel, Anthony Duclair, Teuvo Teravainen, Michael Amadio, Joe Pavelski, Jonathan Marchessault, Teddy Blueger, William Carrier, Sean Monahan, Nick Cousins, Yakov Trenin, Jordan Martinook, Tyler Bertuzzi, Max Domi ou encore Connor Brown.
Le ravageur des Panthers de la Floride, Ryan Lomberg, apporterait un peu d’énergie et de personnalité au quatrième trio des Leafs.
Le plus grand besoin des Leafs à l’avant est sans doute un centre du milieu de terrain. Ils pourraient également recruter un autre ailier du top six pour remplacer ou compléter Bertuzzi et/ou Domi, tous deux agents libres en attente, ainsi qu’un soutien plus important du milieu de gamme sur l’aile, qu’il s’agisse d’une taille plus grande pour s’adapter au style du nouveau chef. l’entraîneur Craig Berube ou plus marquent pour aider les étoiles à se hisser au sommet.
Une grande partie de ce que les Leafs pourraient faire en agence libre dépendra du chemin emprunté avec Mitch Marner et John Tavares, les stars avec des clauses de non-mouvement qui pourraient ou non être là la saison prochaine.
Sans plus attendre, le top 10.

No to all of them. Maybe Joshua, but he has to be coming in at a reasonable cap hit. Everyone else is going to be tough to fit in.
Obviously some decent names on this list but price tags are going to be high this July.
Realistically, guys like Joshua and/or Perron would be good fits imo.
Wishful thinking players would include Toffoli and Stephenson for me. Both guys are gamers.
Arvidsson at 3mx1 seems like good value. Secondary scoring has been an issue for us for a while
Perron, Joshua for the bottom six. Arvidsson and Toffoli for the top six. Those are ideal targets. That said, that would mean saying goodbye to Marner, Domi, Bertuzzi and likely Jarnkrok.
I think toffoli would be nice. If the leafs are smart they target the leftovers at forward. Target players on July 2nd or 3rd. I think they should be a bit more aggressive and try to get either tanev skjei or roy on defense.

These contract predictions feel low to me. Or at least not adjusted for the fact that we’ve had a flat cap for years, and now its finally expected to grow each year for the next several years. I’d love Lindholm at that price, but I’d bet he gets more. Same with Stephenson and Arvidsson
Stamkos on a team with Tavares would have gotten me so excited like a decade ago
I’ve wanted Toffoli on the Leafs since he was a King. It’s time to bring him home. Would actually be hilarious to have both Heinen and Debrusk too. Those dudes muck the Leafs in the playoffs.
How is this going to matter? This is basically the same approach that the Leafs have been taking for years now. Bring in some spare parts to augment the core. They do their jobs. Core pussies out in playoffs. Time to golf.
There is nobody on that list save Stamkos who’s going to really move the needle, IMO. This is a team that’s desperate for a culture change, and you’re not getting it from bringing in some complementary pieces. Or from a new coach, as tough as Berube may be on these guys.
We don’t need Stamkos, Toffoli, or Lindholm. We’re not lacking offensive talent. We’re lacking tenacity
I think all of these guys would help the team out a lot. But at the end of the day if the core doesn’t change it’s gonna be a repeat of the last 8 years of the playoffs
I like most of these. Don’t think I want Stammer or Stephenson
in what universe is Wenberg worth that?
Personally, you sign as many UFA’s that are willing to entertain great team-friendly deals. Stamkos 3 years 8.4m would be unreal (80-90 points guy/free asset) trade alternative assets for more effective players.
Why does my brain go into thinking that Dubas is going to sign Guentzel on July 1 and look like a genius. Ugh.
Lindholm? 😂 💀
The Lindholm and Stephenson contracts will age like milk.
Add 20% to all of these projections for the Leafs.
We need puck moving defensemen.
Its wild these are the suggestions when our biggest issue last year was getting the puck out from behind the net and beating the trap, none of these guys solve that problem.
I’d love to see Dakota in a leafs uniform. That guy is a hooligan out there and he was pretty clutch for Van in some big moments.
Can’t afford any of these guys.
I really like Jake Guentzel he may not be the cheapest but he s a guy who shows up in the spring and play as a star when it matters.
Goalie
#1 D man.
Carry on.
I like Henrique for 3rd line centre. Although I’d rather go for defenders and a goalie and see what the kids can do rather than spending more money on forwards.
