Ils ont fait un grand pas en avant, certains disent plus tôt que prévu. Cela signifie-t-il un recul la saison prochaine ou les Leafs sont-ils en séries éliminatoires pour rester ? Vont-ils devenir plus forts ?

Montour / Manson would be good little addiition. Take back Bieksa as dump.
lupul can play I hate when ppl say he injury prone he has no recurring injury they all different unluckyhe was hit by a dion phanuaf shot broken wrist he just unlucky o think he would be a good fit in Vegas but not at his cap hit but it only one year
vattnen for JVR. but leafs won't go it lol
hey, great work on the projections. I'd like to see an updated mock draft
I'd like to trade JVR instead of Bozie because we'll get more value out of the trade and could get a good defenseman in return. I'd like to see Dumba on our blue line.
you think JVR will get traded?
You didn't even mention future 30-goal scorer Josh Leivo
im a tronto fan but they will find away to fuck it up like every other time
I think Bozak will be with us. Last year on his deal. Let it run down, possibly re-sign him cheap next year. I was hoping they take a look at Cody Franson on a 1 or 2 year. We need a right handed D. He isn't spectacular, but he's a proven veteran whom does an adequate job. Great reach, breaks up a lot of plays at the blue line, good wrist from the point on the PP. Underlying analytic's are all pretty decent on him as well. Don't think they'll be looking at Shattenkirk, and i hope to goodness they don't look at Alzner. Hopefully can nab Foote(RHD) at their draft spot, brought in those players from Europe. Plus Dermott, and Nielsen look like pretty promising d prospects. Only problem they are both left-handed. D is definitely the Achilles heel right now.
Let's talk Leafs. Talk of trading JvR or Bozak. Bozak is under rated. I really believe that he is a top four center on any team. Personal best 55pts. Great on faceoffs and a real leader on the leafs, longest tenure on the team. With a cap hit of 4.2m. Try to replace that type of player! Now JvR also had a personal best of 62pts. / 29 goals. Cap hit of 4.25m. I think he goes to Vegas and join his younger brother Trevor. Leafs need blue line help. Bring in Alzner. Remember they have Lupoul 5.25m. and Horton 5.3m. both on IR.(release or buy ouy). I don't think they need a top line winger, the young guys will fill in JvR's role and they will get more cap space that they will need for they guys who will come of their E.L.C. contracts at the same time. Future is bright, finally!!!
Hopefully we can see a maple leafs and oilers final in the near future.
JVR plus some prospects for a top 2 defencemen?? In terms of NHL 17 an 88 or 87 overall guy?
shit I have no clue who would be considered that, maybe a Michael Stone or
maybe signing one of the capitals free agents. Ether Carl Alsner or Tj Oshie then use JVR and protects for pure goal scorer to play with Marner something like that.
I like the idea of keeping JVR but also of keeping Bozak. I mean up front the team is pretty solid and only in need of another center. That guy = Joe Thornton! Think about it… bump Bozak down to the 4th line center role + faceoff specialist and that gives the Leafs the deepest center ice they have ever had. As for defense I still like the idea of making an Exp. draft or cap relief trade for the likes of a Matt Dumba or a Sami Vatanen and if it costs them a roster player then they have the Marlies depth to make up for it. Finally I like Anders Nilsson or Chad Johnson to serve as a back-up goalie. After all of this they would have the cap space to make a few supplementary moves at the deadline and they would have a contending team for this small window where their 3 young stars are still on ELC!
Peace
I would trade jvr and soshnikov to ana for vattinen and manson. Put leivo in jvr's place and kapanen in sosh place
at 3:34 he says he thinks "Bozak's the guy their gonna get rid of" and then at 8:39 he says " I think JVR's out the door"…..so which one is it? I HIGHLY doubt it will be both….not this of season anyway
Injuries played a big factor in their success, most of their roster played over 75 games
you're focussing to much on Forwards and not enough on Defense.
I agree on the Bozak exposure, he had a career year because of Marner. There is no mention of the guys in the minors who they think are ready. Carrick goes to Vegas because McPhee had Carrick in Washington and liked him.
I think we lose a guy like Leivo who I personally feel will have an impact at the NHL level down the road
patty marleau!
You should re-do this +The Hockey Guy. There's been quite a few changes along the way..
I rather trade Jvr then Bozak because 1 Bozak has more value than Jvr 2 Bozak scored a gwg to win game 3 in the playoffs and Jvr did nothing
leafs are now rolling 4 good lines, What they are missing is a good backup goalie and two top 4 Defensemen. What they are missing is kid they drafted this year, and a GOOD backup goalie. If they would of dumped lupul and hortons contract and aquired marc andre fluery ( which the expansion draft was the golden oppertunity to do so )
Lepsic is GONE !!
lupul cant pass a piss test and will never return to pro hockey
Leafs fans are so stupidly unrealistic, and this is coming from a leafs fan, Matthews is not a generational talent, a franchise player for sure though, marner and Nylander are solid and bozak/jvr are underated but still not crazy good. They are not contenders but a playoff team
