SDPN Sports: Chris Johnston on change is coming to Toronto regardless of who is the GM.
“But if Kyle’s in cost, the opposite factor we realized at locker cleanout is that there is going to be change right here, and it is perhaps a change at head coach, it is perhaps, you realize, one commerce, a number of trades, plus the group has 10 unrestricted free brokers.
So there’s lots, there’s going to be quite a lot of turnover even when he stays, and so what an enchanting offseason now we have in Toronto forward.”
Rosie DiManno of the Toronto Star: The Toronto Maple Leafs shouldn’t be blowing it up however there is some change that is wanted, and it ahead Mitch Marner ought to the participant to be moved.
John Tavares, his no-motion clause and contract isn’t going wherever. William Nylander scored 40 objectives final season and has one yr left on a really cheap contract. Auston Matthews is a generational participant, who stated he needs to remain and lengthening him must be their high precedence.
Moving Marner ought to web the Maple Leafs a ‘power forward or stalwart defenceman.’ Marner’s common season play hasn’t transferred to his playoff play.
He has two years left at $10.9 million and his no-motion clause kicks in on July 1st.
Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: There is nonetheless the query if Kyle Dubas might be again subsequent season because the Maple Leafs GM, however he did say he’d be keen to pay attention on his core gamers.
“I would consider anything with our group that would allow us a better chance to win the Stanley Cup,” Dubas responded. “I would take nothing off the table at all. Everything would have to be considered.”
The Maple Leafs will give attention to extending Auston Matthews, who appeared , so he’s probably not going to maneuver.
John Tavares has two years left on his deal, a no-motion clause and he stated that he doesn’t plan on going wherever else.
It’s attainable that William Nylander might be moved. He’s bought one yr left on his deal which can imply an buying group might have an extension in place if the Leafs need most worth. Nylander’s camp would probably wish to present a brief listing of groups they’d contemplate, much like the Matthew Tkachuk state of affairs final offseason. It’s a extra difficult deal.
Mitch Marner has two years left a no-motion clause that kicks in July 1st. More groups might be concerned earlier than July 1st. What sort of provide wouldn’t it take? thinks that it must land the Leafs a high-pairing defenseman. No one involves thoughts as to potential gamers.
