Leafs 2023-2024 Thread

- Start date
Vegas was missing both Eichel and Stone but they still had their full complement of D that won the Cup.
They also had Hill who leads all starting goalies in save percentage.
Before anyone starts giving the post the first star shots on goal were 42 to 26 and the margin was still 4 goals.
Leafs were also playing their 3rd string goalie and the tail end of back to back.
The 4th line of Reaves, Holmberg, and Kampf looked fantastic. Playing mostly in the offensive zone.
Domi with his speed may be a better fit for Nylander and he's looked legit lately.
Tavares is no longer a juggernaut even strength so this gives Leafs more balance and depth.
They'll still need at least one more solid D to play right side with Rielly.
6 pts behind Florida with a game in hand and 8 pts behind Boston with 2 games in hand.
Up next Colorado who won the cup in 2022 and Vegas again right after.
They play Boston twice first week of March.

A good playoff showing is what he needs now.
The Leafs should try to get David Savard from Montreal. Strong defensive players. Won the cup in 2021 with a stacked team. Just like like the Leafs. He would bring a lot defensively. A very respected, and underrated, player.
The Leafs are interested in Toronto native Chris Tanev but don't want to give up a 1st round pick for him. Savard would be considered for cheap like several low-round picks and the Habs would have to retain some salary, I can't see the Habs wanting to help the Leafs, do you? But the Leafs like Simon Benoit's play of late.

Montreal wants a second-round pick for Savard. He was after all a first-round pick exchange just 2 years ago for Tampa Bay. A veteran of 13 seasons who remains calm in very intensive pressure games. The Leafs need to aim at winning the cup. Not making it passed the first round. It should be a mentality of the cup and nothing else.
The Oilers will probably be willing to trade more for Tanez. The Leafs should go all in for it at this point. That said I never really notice Benoit plays.
Leafs have no more second-round picks left. So it's a no go for Savard.

I might be the only one, but I think perhaps the Leafs should be the 1st wildcard and try their luck with the NYR. Crossover onto the Metro division for the playoffs.
5 of the last 6 wins for the Leafs have been in regulation. A complaint about the Leafs earlier in the year.
Leafs have 16 regulation losses. Only 2 teams have less, Boston and Winnipeg.

The Leafs might be more willing to let that first round pick go if they could work out a contract with Tanev. They don't want to lose the first round pick for a rental. Keep in mind that first round pick could be very low end first round.
Be careful what you wish for. Remember last year’s chant “ WE WANT FLORIDA “ ?
Unlike the best players on other teams who are getting younger? That's a huge disadvantage for Toronto. SMH.
1) Yes, this post is C.O. worthy.
2) Referencing me out of the blue proves once again that I'm still living in your head rent free. LOL. Will you never figure that out?
Keep posting those great pictures in the vintage photos section and you can live rent free in my mind all you want, Oracle.
