Sujet: Keeping Marner for one more year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>Despite the nonsense from the mob on this site, everyone wants Marner. Fans just want him for essentially nothing. Why would St Louis want him? He's 27 years old and way better than anyone on their team. However, they don't have a top defenceman. So why would TO trade him to St Louis?

Parakyo is 2nd pair defenceman. Krug sucks, Faulk sucks and no one else there matters.

I do think they can add Roy or Pesce (hopefully Roy because he's not massively overrated.) in FA either player is a very good addition. They have 18 million to fill out the roster. Roy at 6 or less would be a good move. After that, if you can get Domi at 4 or less, I would do that as well. And then just find value where you can.

The priority is a new coach. Keefe is not a winner in the NHL and he was outcoached every year in the playoffs. Never adjusts, he's done. Shanahan doesn't handle coaches right. Babs should have been fired when he lost a game 7 to Boston for the 2nd year in a row. Keefe should have been fired after last year's playoffs.

I hope MLSE fires Shanahan, Treliving and the entire coaching staff. Find someone good to take over and find a proper coaching staff.</div></div>

Looking around the League, the Stars could be a potential trade partner, Lundvist is an upcoming Top 4 Dman and Dallas might go into the "win" now mode if they can't get into the Cup Finals this year.

And yea, Marner stays, it's fun to try to make it work, but truthfully the added salary cap space doesn't get the Leafs enough $$ to fix their D while finding a top 6 RW'er replacement.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dca919</b></div><div><strong>No they aren't like the Caps as the Caps kept winning their 1st round series. </strong>
In 2015 they beat the Islanders 4-3 in that series. Then lost to the Rangers in 7 (losing 2 games in OT to the President's Trophy winners).
In 2016 they beat the Flyers 4-2 in that series. Then lost to the Pens (the eventual Stanley Cup Champs in 6 (losing 2 games in OT).
In 2017 they beat the Leafs 4-2 in that series. Then lost to the Pens (the eventual Stanley Cup Champs) in 7.
In 2018 they won the Cup.

As far as the Leafs, they are going on coach #5 (as they had those three I listed plus Peter Horachek as interim in 2015)....so you can keep blaming the coach, but enjoy those 1st round exits.</div></div>


This isn't the 1980s were teams proudly hang up banners for being Divisional winner, 3 wins or 11 wins, doesn't matter, Stanley Cup Finals only matter.

Btw, Leafs lose to the B's, Tbay who won the Cup and Flo, Habs(Cup finalists) .
