You have to assume Toronto spends to the cap thi syear so that means they will have 20ishM in cap space for when McDavid can be a UFA and they will have 8 roster spots to fill.

Marner in Bennett out. Can't see that happening.

I think Sam likes Florida, and his taken off in Florida. Why would he go back to the GM thta mishandled him.

That's a good point but at the end of the day money talks. He won't get UFA overpayment in Florida and if that's his priority, I could see Tre throwing stupid money at him.

There is a good chance Bennett gets overpaid is the reason I could see him moving...after Marner who else is potentially out there??

If Bennett goes to market the Leafs will be all over him.

Of that level? No one really.

A tier below Marner, are Bennet, Ehlers, and Boeser.

honestly both guys would be crazy not to test the market. I'm not sure why Marner would stay, he is often their best forward but takes so much heat in the media and from fans its ridiculous.

Bennett and Marner sign in Calgary, we trade for Crosby.

Retool over.

Some teams will swing and miss with Marner and circle to these guys and instantly regret the deals.

Bennetts style wont age well. Ehlers is 29 and having a career year right before UFA.

You don't think Treliving will be cautious given how Bennett played for him in Calgary?

That I don't know. Other sources on here have said he doesn't but I have no confirmation of that.

In the other Rantanen trade thread.

But he was long down the road for an extension in Edmonton. LOL

How do you work for TSN when you are allowed to lie.

I wonder if the Vancouver to Calgary pipeline re-opens this summer and Boeser signs here.

He’s a good fit and I’m sure the team will be aching to use some cap space.

I feel like if Marner walks he's one of Toronto's check down options.

I'd be totally okay going after Boeser in the off-season, as long as it means there's a plan for the right side that includes eventually moving Coleman. Start next year with Zary at centre permanently, then run with a centre lineup of Kadri/Zary/Frost/Backlund and a right side of Coronato/Boeser/Coleman/Pospisil. Rooney doesn't return.

Move Coleman and Backlund at next year's trade deadline (possibly even Pospisil depending on his play), and give those spots to players from the farm.
