Doesn't look like Luneau made the Ducks roster. He's waiver exempt as well. I wish Tre could work out a deal to get him.

Amazing deal on Stolarz.
Great job Tre!!
Much better at negotiating contracts compared to our former GM, lol.

I’ll give him his credit. Well done for sure. Stolly is worth 7-8M after this season if he plays the same way. Tre is doing wonderfully. Only decision I have disagreed on this year was Maccelli. I still don’t see the need for that guy. Robertson looks like he can take his job any day of the week.

Tell me this team would be worse without Maccelli?

Knies Matthews Domi
McMann JT Nylander
Robertson Roy Joshua
Lorentz Laughton Pezzetta/ Cowan/ Jarnkrok.

Great deals all around. No complaints at all.

Guess that's what happens when you set the standard.

@Clarky Robertson has been wildly inconsistent over his Leafs tenure. I'm willing to give him a shot as he's still with the team, but I don't see him as a top 6 guy the way you do.

02 Oct 2025 00:32:06
I don’t think Robertson has been given a fair shot. He has been taken out of the lineup even when he was playing good. For sure there was good reason for some of it. But he has upped his battle and compete level. That line was our best line for stretches of last season. He can provide more depth scoring than Maccelli will. I don’t see how Maccelli is gonna bring more than what Robertson does. Are either of them or Domi really a top 6 guy? At least Robertson can score on the 3rd line. Also remember why Utah sat Maccelli for most of last year. #inconsistency.

Clarky
**inconsistency**
Robertson is the poster boy for inconsistency!
His all around game has gotten better (I will give you that), but still lacks consistency. If he's not scoring, he brings nothing to the table.
I'm assuming you're referencing
McMann Domi Robertson line playing well for stretches (that line played well against bottom feeders only, but were exposed big time against real NHL competition) .
Robertson plays with his head down and shoots from anywhere (along the boards, from the goal line) . He has zero vision and pretty much zero hockey IQ.

IMO Robertson would look awful on a line with Roy and Joshua (no one to spoon feed him the puck) .
As for Maccelli, yes he may not get as many goals as Robertson, but he will create more goals for his linemates. Maccelli will help Roy and Joshua get 15+ goals each this season.

I can't wait till Robertson is traded and we can just move of this narrative.

@Tags and what is Maccelli? He couldn’t even crack Utahs lineup because of his inconsistency. Either player you’re gonna get inconsistency but Robertson has more bite, scores more and back checks better than Maccelli. So maybe the question is if Maccelli isn’t producing points, what is he bringing to the table? I’m taking Robertson all day over this guy.

Maccelli will make other players around him better, Robertson will not IMO.

27 Sep 2025 00:52:27
Could Treliving pull off a trade with Utah

Toronto trades Robertson Jarnkroc McMann and Then

To

Utah for Nick Schmaltz

Kampf put on waivers for salary cap

22 Sep 2025 09:41:57
It's only one game but there were some standout's yesterday

Robertson looked great but always does in preseason truthfully think it just helps him get moved

Rifai looked like and nhler out there and definitely a guy I could see berube using

Haymes he always seems to be in and around it.

Villenuve he might turn into something good puck mover possesses a point shot

Cowan not the best I've seen seems like he's playing passive and doesn't want to make a mistake need to see more if he's even gonna get a sniff

22 Sep 2025 19:18:32
Except for Villenuve, I pretty much agree. Forwards blew by him on the outside too often.
Can Rafai bring that game consistently at the NHL level is the question.
I had Danford as possibly the best Leaf defender in the game. He didn't look out of place at all imo. Gap control was excellent. Competed hard and wasn't over matched physically. Moved the puck well enough and I thought he was solid positionally.

23 Sep 2025 01:42:57
@RFL the best compliment a dman can get is I didn’t notice him out there but I agree danford kept it simple and held his own.

20 Sep 2025 06:59:56
Lines to start the year

Knies matthews maccelli
Mcmann tavares nylander
Joshua roy Cowan
Lorentz laughton jarnkrok/ pazetta

Reilly Carlo
Mccabe tanev
Ekman-larson Benoit

Stolarz
Woll.

24 Sep 2025 19:45:42
I don't think Cowan makes it I have Domi in his spot and roberson as 13th I feel like I want pezetta over jarnkrok for toughness but jarnkrok can play anywhere.

13 Sep 2025 10:57:33
Edmonton may be smart to trade McDavniw and get something for h.

13 Sep 2025 13:48:48
Depends what the return is. I imagine it's a haul, but who knows.

13 Sep 2025 19:56:40
I can't imagine the Oilers contemplating trading the best player in the world. Unless McDavid has told them he is definitely not resigning, they will do whatever it takes to get him to stay.

17 Sep 2025 10:44:30
Wow what was I on when I texted that. 😂. It’s a tough situation for the Oilers but if McDavid drags this out and pulls a JT move and just leaves at the end, they will get nothing for him. At least now if you trade him, you will get an outstanding package back from someone. If they aren’t close in negotiations, this is what I’d be doing if I was Oilers GM.

18 Sep 2025 10:19:23
I think it’s hard to compare jt and mcdavid it’s an impossible situation the only way they make that trade is if they suck and Leon suffers a season ending injury.
