Sujet: Leafs 2023 2024 Season Discussion Part 6 - Nearly Playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oneX</b></div><div>Man...you are talking like Leafs are the only team that has dealt with injuries. Injuries happen but still doesn't mean you shy away from experimenting early in the season but have a solid plan that every player should be locked in on once the season is down to 30 games left.

How long has Keefe been the coach? Every season it seems to be the same song and dance. It's almost like he and the team is on auto pilot early on and then come March they realize "oh **** we need to have a solid plan of how we are going play in the playoffs".

Such a loser mentality..</div></div>

I've seen man-games lost to injury.
How about $-games lost to injury. or point-games lost to injury based on salary $/game OR points/game prior to the injury.

PP + PK should be &gt;= 100% (maybe 105% for a better team).
Today (CAR) = 67% (L)
(EDM) = 93% (W)
(WAS) = 80% (W)
(PHI) = 133% (L)
(CAR) = 60% (L)
(PHI) = 67% (W)
(MTL) = 80% (W)
(BOS) = 85% (L)
(BUF) = 100% (W)
(BOS) = 50% (L)

So in past 10 games, Leafs are 5 Wins, 5 Losses. But in terms of the special teams battle, Leafs are 1 Win, 1 Tie, 8 Losses.
It's another example of making life harder for themselves.
I thought PK was biggest problem heading into the deadline, and result show they didn't address it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NorthernLeafsFan05</b></div><div>Matt Murray is back on the ice, which is actually really awesome to see. He'll always have a special place in my heart as a fellow Thunder Bay native, and now that we know he's progressing well enough to return sometime beyond this regular season I hope we bring him back. He would be a very serviceable backup for cheap.

I doubt that's what the leafs wind up doing, but a smart team will pick him up for somewhere around league min and reap the rewards. If we assemble a decent blueline this offseason, I like our odds with Woll and Murray</div></div>

This sounds fake.
I don't know a single person from Thunder Bay. Anyone from Thunder Bay is either from Port Arthur or For William - even decades after the merge. :)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>The contracts for the stars was not a mistake. It was where the market was going prior to the pandemic. And he made it work. People point at his trades this year and say, see he sucks but it's a buyer's market this season. No one really got a major return.</div></div>

Last summer Leafs had the decision - shake up the core or keep them all.
There is no doubt that they decided to keep the big 3.
By extension - they decided that being a good regular season team was more important than risking backlash of trading a star, having them prosper elsewhere, and possibly missing playoffs here.
So in the next 4 years - expect good regular season results and playoffs where they will never be favoured to win more than a round.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsForLife</b></div><div>Given that the Leafs lost both games to Boston in regulation, the Leafs are in no man's land between Boston/Florida and Tampa/Detroit.
The 2 vs 3 seed in the Atlantic is going to be a bloodbath, and the Leafs are 8 points behind Boston/Florida and Tampa/Detroit
The annoying thing is that whoever does better between Boston and Florida gets to escape that first round matchup and play a wild card team
However, whoever does better between Tampa and Detroit also gets to avoid that first round matchup, and probably escape the Atlantic entirely
An 8 point gap is difficult to make up without a massive streak (winning or losing) especially with less than 20 games remaining</div></div>

-If NHL Playoffs held today (based on Win% and diff in win % of opponent in brackets):
FLA - DET (.122)
BOS - TOR (.050)
NYR - NYI (.107)
CAR - PHI (.067)

-If 1 vs. 8 in Conf.
FLA - NYI (.138)
BOS - PHI (.107)
NYR - DET (.096)
CAR - TOR (.010)

Current format: Benefits CAR (0.057% easier team) + PHI (0.040% easier team), Hurts BOS (0.057% harder team) + TOR (0.040% harder team).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>That's a 25 man roster...

And the other move part comes with the Leafs still being sable to fit Libby under the cap without double retention</div></div>

I think Jones will be here the entire season. With Woll injury and Sammy's mental health - too risky not to have 3rd goalie.
I would suspect Timmins will be LTIR. I think he needs to be off for another week (which is deadline day) to meet the 24 day criteria.
Possibly Robertson sent down, to regain some scoring touch, depending on Timmins return.
Don't know about Gio's status, but they will likely play it week to week depending if another injury happens.
Remember last year they had no goalie for the final 2 games? There will be some "play-it-by-ear" and maybe even send Knies down rather that losing an expected playoff asset on waivers.
