Rebuilding The Toronto Maple Leafs Until Franchise Mode Ends

all right so I don't know what influenced me to make this video today but it's going to be a long one grab some popcorn we're going to be here for a minute it's not a 5-year rebuild not a 10 not a 15 not a 20 I am rebuilding the Toronto mate beliefs until franchise mode ends 25 years are ahead of us Austin Matthews he's not going to make it to the end of the 25 years John Taris won't William neander none of these guys are going to be here in 25 years it's going to be a completely different to romate beles team and the goal at least seven St cups is that going to be happening absolutely not but can we win seven Stanley Cups for the toron mate Leafs over the next 25 years we're going to be here for a while this is going to be by far the longest video I've ever uploaded on my channel I'm starting this recording on January 25th I have absolutely no clue how long this is going to take me I would not be surprised if this gets uploaded 3 weeks from now you know what we got to grind we got to rebuild the tra mate beliefs so let's get right into it and normally at the beginning of videos like this I would give out a couple of extension but there's no one we can actually really give an extension to I guess we could do Lil grin by I mean I'm not bringing back Mark Jeran he's 39 years old I'm not going to bring back TJ Brody I can't give extensions to do or berzi yet so L Gren I think you're going to be the only guy getting an extension here barring you being reasonable I'm not really too sure if this is reasonable 4.3 for the next three I think we're going to pass on this deal for now but I do want to give up one deal here and I think we're going to do it with Nick Robertson I'll do 1.65 for the next four years once this contracts up we're still going to his RFA rights so I think this is a smart move so we're just going to simulate up to the trade deadline here and then make a couple moves accordingly the Tron mate believe they might be able to win the staning cup but they also might finish botom five in the entire league you just never know with the simulation but while this simulates there's some business that we need to handle and you're definitely going to want to see this I just went and looked up the price of an Andre perovsky Jersey why is this thing almost $300 I mean fanatic's branded yeah I guess like it's the authentic but 300 bones for this okay no if I'm buying the Andre burkovski Jersey 5,000 likes 5,000 likes minimum so since y'all were able to hit 5,000 likes on the video I'm going to live up to my word here and buy an Andre Bovi Jersey but here's the thing this is a pretty special Andre Bovi Jersey it's signed by the man himself Andre burkovski that's right for 5,000 likes I bought a signed Andre bosi Jersey and since I haven't learned my lesson if this video gets 7,500 likes I'll buy a Toronto Maple Lea Jersy JY not signed but all by a trate beles jersey I haven't figured out which player yet we'll figure that out later Michelle to you absolute Legends for 5,000 likes but y'all aren't going to top that you're not hitting 7500 so in year number one the leasts are having themselves a pretty decent season right now we're fifth in the entire league with a 3722 and four record the offense is pretty solid while the defense definitely needs some more meanwhile when we're discussing the production of our top guys here it's looking fantastic Matthews 87 points Marner 87 William nanders got 71 John is 56 I'm not going to lie there's a very high chance that John TZ gets traded next season because he's going to start dropping an overall here he's an 87 to 33 years old by year number two this rebuild it's not going to be looking good with him meanwhile the go tending situation samsonov 29 wins one shout a 900 sa percentage and a 316 goals gain you're about to be traded and I already know which team I'm trading you to so that might have been a slight lie I actually don't know where I'm training Samson off but I guess he's going over to the seatt Kraken for a third rounder and Devon sha now both of these guys are about to get flipped also I realized that I said both of these guys are about to get flipped and one of them was a third round pick so yeah that doesn't really make too much sense but a third rounder along with the first and we're going to be picking up Jeremy Swan he's our goenda first rounder could be enough to get Jeremy Swan it's not going to be but you know what maybe Devon Shaw can be the Difference Maker so with Devon Shaw added into this deal can we get Jeremy Swan from the Boston Bruins obviously Deon Shar would not be the Difference Maker I don't even know why I thought he would be but you know what might be a fifth rounder from the Calgary Flames and now we have Jeremy swayan so we have our go tender for the future and when I say future I mean probably the next like 7 years then we'll have to get a new goenda is the guy for us and I think with our second move we're going to be acquiring Nick Paul here from the Tampa Bay Lightning one of the reasons I want to acquire Nick Paul is because of his contract at an 83 overall 3.15 million for the next 6 years is an incredible contract in a rebuild like this because once we get to year number six the contracts get a bit ridiculous so just like that we're going to be acquiring Nick Paul and I think those are going to be the only two moves we make here I also will say right now the goal is to not win the Stanley Cup this season I mean if we do I'm not against it but right now we don't have the greatest line fits on this team like Austin Matthews doesn't even fit on the first line once we get a really good coach that Austin Matthews can mesh with then it's over for the league then again he also does have 87 points in 63 games so maybe we don't need a coach so I think this is what we're going to rock with here we're going to put Nick Paul on the second line with John Taris and William neander brusi is going to the first line with Matthews and Marner and Matthew n he'll drop down to the third line with Yow and Camp meanwhile in between the pipes we already know what we're rocking with here Jeremy San 88 overall he's going to get Elite potential next season this dude's going to be a beast for us also when it comes to Jeremy Swan extension we're going to wait here because ideally I want to do more than two years but if we do an 8-year contract he wants $10 million I don't want to give him $10 million so hopefully during the resign phase he smartens up a little bit but I will give up one extension here that's going to go to Tyler berzi I feel like 4.3 million for the next 5 years is actually a great deal for him especially if he's going to be playing some top six minutes we're going to try to keep him on the first line with Matthews and Marner but even if he can't play there and has to drop down to the second line we can make it work now the toron maple Le were a good team this season except our division was absolutely loaded we're going to be finishing eighth here with a 4529 and8 record a good offense but the defense definitely needs to be worked on but we already knew this Toronto's defense very mid luckily Austin Matthews is here 107 points 60 goals 47 assists a slow season from him Mitch Mar 107 points William neander 84 well Nick Paul I'm kind of curious to see what you did since joined the team I'm not expecting anything crazy but 19 points and 19 games I'll take it meanwhile Jeremy Swan what are your numbers looking like since joined the toron mate beliefs a 923 and a 238 okay if you put up these numbers in the postseason there's a very good chance we win a Stanley Cup because those are incredible especially considering how many goals we were allowing here I thought your numbers would be way worse so maybe the TR Maple are actually better than I thought we're taking on the Florida Panthers here in the first round and if we can get a hot Jeremy Swan then I think we can take on any team so far we've actually been doing a pretty good job competing with the Florida Panthers we split the series so far and game five is going to be a deciding one we're going to be dropping that one so we got a bounce back big here in game six and that's exactly what we're going to be doing winning that one two to one and that means we're off to game seven so here we go game number seven all comes down to this in the first period we're absolutely flying picking up three goals this should be all wrapped up we're picking up another in the second period and just like that we're off to the second round a massive 6-2 Victory also I'm kind of curious did John tver pick up a hat-trick he had two goals here yes he did Johnny T picking up a massive hat-trick in game number seven he's really that guy Big Time Players making big time plays and he's showing up in game seven so we've moved on to the second round here and now we have ourselves a great matchup the teron maple Lees taking on the Boston Bruins can they finally get their Revenge after about 19 million years of disappointment against this team probably not because it's the Trum a taking on the Boston Bruins we already know Boston's winning this match up plain and simple at least I can say the t m beliefs are actually competing with the Boston Bruins similar to our last series we've split it so far but in game number five the Bruins are absolutely dominating us taking that one 6 to1 and like the last series we got to respond here in game number six and we're doing the exact same thing we're off to game seven for the second series in a row we need giant to have another massive game so John taras can you be the hero once again here in the first period we're going to be picking up one goal that's coming from karro and in the second we're going to have Matthews and de Brusque both picking up goals so it's still a one goal game heading into the third period and in the third period we're taking over kingberg Matthews lilligren we're picking up another three goals and we're off to the Conference Finals but now we have our toughest match up yet now I'll definitely take the Conference Finals in year number one of the rebuild but we have the New York Rangers up next they were a 60- win team by far the best team in the entire league but if you want to be the best you got to beat the best and that's what the New York Rangers are and I have absolutely no clue what's going on here but Jeremy Swan's putting the team on his back backto back shutouts in game three and game four and quick close out here in game number five a massive 4-3 Victory and we're in the Stanley Cup Final in year number one maybe seven Stanley Cups is actually reasonable for us so it all comes down to this the Toronto mels in the Colorado Avalanche matching up in the Stanley Cup Final against each other both of these teams have been playing absolutely incredible but now it's time for Toronto to win a Stanley Cup we've made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final in year number one here we can't fold now so it's time for Toronto to lock in we're going to be simulating the first four games of this series and ideally we complet a sweep here we won the first two games and things were looking fantastic but we're dropping the next two two game five as we know is always an important one we're taking that one 4 to2 one game away from hoisting a Stanley Cup and in game six we're closing this one out never mind we're off to game seven I guess game seven is the most fitting way to End season number one we've already played two of them and we've won two now it's time for us to win another so it's time for the Big Time Players to make some big time plays and in the first period we're going to see Mitch Marner picking up the first goal of the game but in the second we're not picking up any but Phil The Thrill kessle is picking up one on Jeremy Swan we might be cooked they have fil the thrill kessle on their team how can you stop that man in the third period we're going to see a ton of goals here but it's going to be two goals from each team we're entering overtime the next goal is going to win the Stanley Cup and it's coming from the Terrell M Leafs calar CR is the big time performer in this game game seven overtime he's picking up the winner and just like that the terome Maple Leafs have won the Stanley Cup in year number one how will this terone Maple Leafs team just won a Stanley Cup in year number one I cannot explain to you I was fully expecting us to get swept in the first round but here we are staning Cup champions you know what we might be keeping our coach around this man just want us to Stanley Cup no point switching things up I don't care if the line fits aren't that great we want a Stanley Cup we're keeping everything the same and of course the big time performers are making big time plays here Mitch Martin 28 points Austin Matthews 26 William neander 25 John tver 25 I might actually keep you around next season well Jeremy Swan 16 wins two shouts a 914 to 286 if we didn't pick you up at the trade deadline then we're definitely not winning the Stanley Cup that might go down as one of the best moves in making this video and we're just in year number one here all right so I need to acquire some picks around the 100th overall range so I'm going to be training the 66 overall in the 224th over to the Arizona Coyotes we're going to get the 97th and 93rd hopefully this is enough okay we got this deal done we're about to bring in some absolutely incredible prospects starting with the 93rd overall we're going to be getting a lowly potential goal tender now that's not the greatest Prospect in the world but wait till you see this next one because with the 97th overall we're going to be securing a medium Le potential defensive defenseman if this guy doesn't develop into anything that's going to be okay cuz he's going to have a ton of trade value but then again we do have to remember this is a 25-year rebuild so in 7 years from now he could be the guy for us but the incredible prospects aren't done there because with the 128th overall we're going to be securing a mediumly potential goenda time is run up with this team lamb might be the next guy up for us so at the end of the day we ended up getting three Elite potential players in this draft so I'll classify that as a good one so I'm happy to say Jeremy swam is willing to be a bit more reasonable and we're going to be locking him down to an 8x8 however by signing Jeremy San we actually don't have any more money left so I'm going to have to qualify a bunch of rfas here and then we'll have to clear up some cap space not too sure what we're going to trade away though so I guess an 8 by8 is actually not going to be enough for Jeremy Swan so I'll do 8.4 for the next eight hopefully that's enough to get the steel done okay I guess we're going to be giving him $9 million I mean I'm not against it but I would like to do a bit less so let's try 8.8 for the next eight if you're not accepting this then you're honestly you're kind of bugging over like 400k per year there we go Jeremy Swan's lock down long term so we got through the resign phase and now it's time to give up some extensions here and Mitch Marner I got to bring you back I don't care what you're asking for 11.25 I can work with that so how about instead of 11.25 we do 10 million per year for the next 8 years you know what let's actually go below $10 million I'll do 9.9 and then with a guy like John Taris I'm not a against a contract like this I actually am what am I talking about Bros 33 years old he's going to be declining pretty quick here but I will keep him around for this season we did win a Stanley Cup last year if we can run it back with the exact same team and win another I'm not against that also Jake mcabe I'll do 2.5 for the next 2 years that's a pretty solid contract meanwhile Matthew n 1.6 for the next eight I'd never said this was going to be a realistic video we're doing a 25-year rebuild and you want me to be realistic yeah that's not happening also with a guy like Joseph wall I feel like 1.75 for a backup roll for the next four years is actually a pretty solid contract for us so we're going to have two decent goenda John Taris but I think we're going to have to because this man's getting paid $10.7 million at an 87 I have absolutely no issue with that I mean it's a bit of an overpayment It's actually an overpayment by a lot but other than that we cannot afford anyone else we don't have enough forwards for this team we really only have three defenseman under contract so we got to make some changes here we have to free up a lot of money and then we can bring in some defensemen so giant T I'm sorry to say I got to ship you out so at no point did I ever say this video was realistic John tarus and William Eckland I have no clue why the sound sharks John Taris but I'm not against making a deal like this they're going to be saying no but I feel like we're pretty close in trade value and maybe a third rounder can be the Difference Maker so Johnny Tina third and we pick up William Eckland I'm not against it we're just a bit low so we got to include a seventh rounder no this is actually a wild trade for us we're picking up an incredibly good young Prospect here we're freeing up $10 million in cap space we're going to be able to bring the team back and we're looking even better for the future so now that we cleared up that jeris money we're going to be able to bring back Lil grin here and we'll do 4.1 for the next five another guy we're going to be bringing back now is Gregor 1.5 for the next 2 years he plays some good bottom 6 minutes so Matt W is available in free agency here and I'm actually willing to pay a bit more than what his asking prices because I want to make sure I bring him back to the team we'll do 3.4 for the next 3 years he's an 83 overall at 29 years old he's not really going to be declining too much and he's going to play some good top six minutes for us right now we have $6 million in cap space but we're in desperate need of one more defenseman so Brendan Dylan will do 4.8 for next season you're going to serve your purpose for this team play the one here and then you'll walk in free agency so things are actually looking pretty solid for the TR mate beliefs right now Austin Matthews Matthew n and Mitch Mar on the top line gain a plus three boost on the second we're going to see William neander Nick Paul and William Ecklund gain a plus two while Ty bzi Cal yarro and David cord are going to be holding it down the third line gain a plus two boost as well the fourth line might not be the greatest in the world but when you have a top nine looking like this I think it's okay if you have one weak line defensively outside Morgan Riley we don't really have any Superstars but we have a ton of guys here that play their role Matt W and Brendon Dylan are two new additions to the team they're going to be paired up on the second pairing together gain a plus one overall boost I can work with having two great defensive defenseman here and to finish it all off Jeremy swam is in between the pipes for us an 89 overall he's got a couple X factors now still high starter potential though a bit surprised with that I thought he would have moved up to a leite potential byy now but you know what I can live with that he's a great goendale cup also shout out to Joseph wall he's our backup for the next couple years he's that guy now things aren't necessarily the greatest for the leads right now we're 11th in the entire league with a thir 1 21- six record the offense isn't too bad the defense isn't great whatsoever we're just not winning a lot of games yeah I really don't know what to say about this team like offense good defense average but a lot of these teams I guess are just better I don't know what to say about that Austin Matthews has seen some similar production this season 73 points 48 goals at the trade deadline William nander 69 points Mitch Martin 69 Nick Paul having himself a great year he's got 48 points well Matthew n I'm expecting a bit more see as you're playing some Top Line mans for US 35 points 12 goalss 23 assists I actually don't recall if he's on the first line or not I think I put him on the first line it's either him or berzi but berzi is sucking right now minus 16 and Cal yro minus 18 no we got to fix up that third line now Jeremy Swan's go tending numbers aren't actually the worst in the world 26 wins two shs and 910 and 289 but Joseph wall on the other hand bro stop the puck once in a while a 350 just isn't it now I'm going to be honest I'm going through the trade deadline right here and I cannot find anyone that I actually want to pick up our top six is great we need help on the bottom six but I can't find anyone that would actually fit in our bottom six that would be a nice upgrade to the team so I don't think we're going to be making any moves here we're just going to rock with the team we have right now I don't think we have enough on this team to win a Stanley Cup but you know what I don't want to try to force anything now to finish up the year the drum map Leafs were actually looking incredible seventh here with a 4628 and8 record the offense was flying while the defense it definitely stepped it up after the trade deadline finishing with the goals against of almost three I'll take it we also won our division I do want to mention that I have no clue how we won the Atlantic but we did so I guess show it to us we're better than everyone else now statistically Matthews took a bit of a step back but he did have 62 goals so I'll look the other way William neander 91 Mitch martiner 90 Nick Paul 68 points who have saw that one coming and then William Ecklund 61 you were a great pickup for this team also Matthew 's 49 points I'm still expecting more like plain and simple you got to be playing better meanwhile here are the go tending numbers for this team Jeremy Swan of course is the guy for us 36 wins two shouts of 909 and 286 but shout out to Joseph wall because he improved that goals gains from a 350 to a 327 so he must have looked pretty good after the trade deadline you know what I don't care what happened after the trade deadline during the regular season because now we're in the playoffs this is when it matters most we have a chance at repeating here so let's get right to work so the dream of a repeat definitely isn't looking good we're down 3-1 in the series and game five might be the end for US unless we can win this one we're dominating 3 nothing Jeremy Swan pick up another shout out here back toback shout out never mind you allowed six goals all right the dream of a repeat is dead and we're out in the first round that's some Toronto Maple e hockey right there so of all the teams that could have won the Stanley Cup it's going to be the Boston Bruins Toronto wins last season and then Boston immediately responds with a Stanley Cup of their own that makes a lot of sense got to respect it though so I can't tell you exactly what went wrong with this team but I actually can our third line needs a lot of work karow minus four I already know Ty puszi wasn't great minus one well the goal tending numbers clearly they're not going to be good Jeremy swing an 890 and a 357 Joseph wall was perfect though I mean he faced one shot in 7 minutes so maybe we should have went with him because he was perfect so we're currently at the draft and things aren't looking that great so I'm going to trade my picks away a fifth and a seventh is going to go over to the Arizona Coyotes for a future third and we're not done there because now with a fifth and a sixth rounder that's going to be sent over to the Boston Bruins and we're going to be securing Columbus's thirdd round pick really I just don't want to be wasting my draft picks when I know I'm going to be getting sthd potential players so when it comes to the resign phase we're going to be bringing back a couple of these rfas but other than that we're not making any major moves here and when it comes to goldendoll no clue who he is but you know what he could be a good player for us then again I don't want to sign him to a oneway contract so we'll do 2 years at 1.1 million and then just throw him in the AHL or something yeah I don't really know what to do here so after we've gone through the resign phase we do have to give out an extension here and it's going to go to William Eckland we'll do 8 million per year for the next four years I think that's a pretty solid contract for him he's only 22 years old I mean if I give him 8 years what would he be looking at okay that's way too much so we're going to do four years at 8 million okay so I'm looking at a deal like this where we're going to trade a second and a fourth rounder over to the Anaheim Ducks to get a second round from the Penguins now on paper this makes absolutely no sense however this Pittsburgh Penguins pick has a lot of trade value that's the reason we're going to try to pick it up here so I think a second and a fourth could be able to get this done they're going to be saying no so we're going to do a second and a third rounder hear me out I am cooking something up here a second and a third for this draft pick they're going to say no I'll throw in a sixth rounder as well I I have a plan here there's a reason why I'm trading for this second round pick so we acquired it now it's time to go over to the Montreal Canadians so now we're going to try a deal like this the second rounder we just picked up Cal yarro in two third rounders over to the Montreal Canadians and we're going to pick up sovi right now sovi might only be an 80 overall but there is a chance he can fit on our bottom six but he also still has medium lead potential at 21 years old he could develop into an absolute beast and I want him to do that on the TR map believe Leaf so we're going to get this deal done and now we just got a massive upgrade to the team I also trade karro only has one year left on his deal and he wants like $6 million for an extension I'm not giving him $6 million that's not happening by making that trade for sovi we actually need to clear up cap space in order to have the money to bring back William Eckland so I'm going to trade David Camp along with the prospect over to the Washington Capitals and we're picking up farar who's on a one-year contract right now or I thought this would be enough I guess we have to throw a seventh rounder in the deal so with this seventh rounder from the Tome mate beliefs we're going to be acquiring faari he's going to be the missing piece we need on our defense while the rest of our team we're going to be bringing back all right so the forward core here looks incredible with Matthews Marner neander Paul eckan and NIS lean the way then on the third line we got berzi Gregor and sovi here's the plan with lovsky he's going to play on the third line this season after this season we're going to give him an extension and since he was playing third line minutes he's going to ask for less money than what he would on the first line after this season he's going to play on the first line alongside Matthews and Marner where he has a perfect line fit and then he's going to pick up probably like 80 points and we're going to be paying him about $5 million that's going to be an incredible deal for us but for now it's going to be nce Matthews and Marner defensively we're going to eventually have to figure this situation out but Morgan Riley lilligren Matt W farari McCabe and Cochin I can definitely live with this I also probably said cockin wrong but you know what we're going to roll with it meanwhile in between the pipes we have one of the best in the entire game Jeremy Swan he's got high Elite potential and 88 overall it's time for this team to get another Stanley Cup also Joseph wall is still here so we continue to shout him out but in all seriousness over the next couple years the salary cap situation for the lease is going to be very interesting we're eventually going to be losing some players here but you know what as long as we can keep the main guys around then we're going to be perfectly fine I also think we're a pretty competitive team we just got to get this team rolling on all cylinders so compared to where the Leafs were last season things are looking great we're third in the entire league with a 391 19 and5 record the offense is flying while the defense actually might be the best in the entire league never would have expected that well it's not the best but we're in the top six here who would ever ever thought the least would have a top defense in the entire league that just doesn't seem realistic Austin Matthews 69 points William neander Mitch Marner they both got 67 well William eckland's got 55 we got a good core here also Matthew ni 36 points come on bro you got to break out eventually 82 overall you have top six potential I'm giving you all the chances in the world and you're just letting me down I need you to step it up meanwhile the gold tning numbers Jeremy swam and you have 37 wins here at the trade deadline last season you had 36 at the end of the season so yeah I would say he's locked in also Joseph wall maybe pick up a win once in a while you have a 29 and one record with a 9:04 and a 327 that doesn't really help our team right now then again a 327 with the amount of goals we're scoring I thought you would have more than two wins so maybe it's not necessarily your fault maybe we just don't score in the games you're in between the pipes okay we got incredibly lucky because the Calgary Flames changed their trade block a little bit now I can offer them a first round pick and they actually want it we'll be able to get Rasmus Anderson this is clutch I was trying to trade for this man earlier but I was unable to because they didn't want our first rounder whatsoever but now they do so we're going to be able to get this done Rasmus Anderson welcome to the team this is huge for us we didn't have to give up our mediumly Potential Prospect we did give up one young defenseman you know what I'm perfectly fine with that because we're looking Elite right now Rasmus Anderson is going to be a massive upgrade for this team and I think that we're the favorites to win the Stanley Cup now so this is what we're looking like for the Stanley Cup run it's going to be Morgan Riley and Timothy lilligren and then we're going to have Rasmus Anderson and farari on that second pairing and then finish it all off Jake mccab and Matt wall yeah we're ready for a Stanley Cup this defense got a massive upgrade with Rasmus Anderson I would play him on the first pairing but then we don't get the plus one boost Rasmus Anderson he has a better fit on the second alongside farari so I think we should keep these two guys together to finish up the season the TR map Le are going to be looking pretty solid here fourth in the entire league with a 49 26 and 7 record the offense flying like usual while the defense took a bit of a step back but you know what I can live with that The Usual Suspects going to be at the top of the league here Austin Matthews 99 points 54 goals Mitch Marner he's got 98 points here William neander 81 eckland's got 65 you know what I think we got to change these lines up next season because I think we're getting enough scoring from our top guys here like Matthew n you're playing first line minutes and you have 49 points I'm expecting way more from you while lovsky 37 points here I can't necessarily complain about that but then again you do have medium lead potential I am expecting more but then again you fill your role on the third line so I can't really complain too much while the go tending situation here Jeremy Swan 45 wins two shots of 909 to 278 these are the most wins you've ever had in a season Joseph wall we're going to pretend these numbers don't exist now Jeremy slamman how about you add 16 more wins to this total and we get a Stanley Cup but whatever y'all do do not lose in the first round to the Montreal Canadians we cannot be going out like that I refuse to lose to the Montreal Canadians in the first round that would definitely not be ideal if we lose to Boston in the second round I can deal with that but not to Montreal in the first so thankfully it doesn't look like we're going to be losing to the Montreal Canadians here because the Toronto map police is going to be taking them down in five games a massive 64 Victory and we're off to the second round now I was really looking forward to a Toronto Maple Leafs Boston Bruins second round matchup but I guess that's not going to be happening cuz the Boston Bruins are a bunch of frauds they're falling in the first round Toronto's taking on Tampa here it's still going to be a great matchup but I would have preferred Toronto vers Boston so far it's been a good series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and toron maple Le we've been going back and forth the entire way and now we have game five who's going to be taking the lead in the series it looks like it's going to be the Toronto mate beliefs a massive overtime win and can we close it out in game number six here of course we can we're off to the Conference Finals once again in year number three so here we go we've made it to the Conference Finals once again the Toronto Maple Le taking on the Carolina hurricanes if we can win two Stanley Cups in the first three years of this rebuild then things are going to be looking absolutely incredible for this team now I honestly thought we were going to be completing the sweep after the first two games but then we're going to drop the next two and we got ourselves a tie series do not lose three in a row you just lost three in a row all right that's not great do not lose four in a row that's all I'm going to say we're going to win that one one nothing we probably shouldn't have won that game Jeremy Swan's going to be saving the day for us and now we're off to game seven so we already know how things work in game number seven we need the big time player is making some big time plays and Nick Paul and William neander they're going to be picking up two goals for the TR mate beliefs the second period is going to be scoreless can we close it out in the third period that's going to be scoreless once again so I guess that William neander goal in the first period is going to end up being the winner and we're off to the Stanley Cup Final once again our second time in three years so it looks like our Stanley Cup Final is going to be an all Canadian matchup the Toronto map leaves taking on the Winnipeg Jets Winnipeg is looking to win their first ever Stanley Cup while the Tor mate believes they're looking to win their second in three years so I would normally be fine with the Winnipeg Jets winning a Stanley Cup but not in this situation we need the TR Maple leavs to win we just swept them we swept them for our second Stanley Cup in 3 years here I did not think we were going to dominate them like this Toronto was absolutely locked in in every single game and once again we're Stanley Cup champs and without Austin Matthews this isn't happening 33 points here in 22 games including 14 goals Mitch Marner 12 goals and 17 assists for 29 Points William neander 21 William eckan 17 and Matthew ni finally picked it up 15 points in 22 games it's good to see that you actually showed up when we needed you to while the gold tending numers Jeremy Swan 16 wins two shs a 908 and a 284 you've won two Stanley Cups with the TR map Leafs but now it's time to make that three Stanley Cups because we have to repeat next season so immediately after winning in the postseason we're going to continue to win in the draft here because with the 32nd overall pick we're getting a medium Le potential goenda deal with the Carolina Hurricanes and gave them our third rounder so we're going to be bringing that back I do not recall making a trade with the Carolina Hurricanes but for some reason they have our third rounder they must have got it from another team but I guess we're bringing it back so we're going one for one on draft picks here the reason I trade that fourth and fifth rounder away is because we were knocking anything good low top six is probably the best thing we would have gotten so I might as well trade those picks away so obviously Rasmus Anderson's not going to be coming back to the team we do not have the money for him but I do want to bring back farari and Gregor unfortunately though we don't have the money to bring back both of these guys but there's an easy way to get around this I'm going to qualify ferar in RFA and then I'm going to give Gregor the extension so Gregor I'm going to do 1.9 for the next 3 years because you do a great job on our bottom six here and then farari I'm going to trade somebody away clear up some cap space and then I'll bring you back all right so it looks like my ridiculous plan work was lovsky 84 overall and he only wants 2.5 million but I'm giving him an 8-year extension we're going to keep him around for as long as we can so we're going to do an 8year extension he's going to be getting paid $3 million per year and he's going to be playing some first line minutes this season we're basically paying him about 10K more than what he's getting paid right now except he's going to develop into like an 88 overall so we're going to be paying an 88 overall $3 million if that's not a great deal I don't know what is so I was looking at picking up a third pairing defenseman and then I realized what brt Clark's trade value is for some reason it's lower than what it normally is so to bzi a second rounder and a mediumly potential goal tender is that going to be enough to bring brt Clark to the team it doesn't look like it but I actually think we're fairly close so if I were to add a third rounder into this deal is that going to be enough to bring him onto the team that's a massive steal for us we still have under contract for the next two years at like 800k but he's going to develop into an absolute stud for us the fact that his trade value is that low makes no sense and farari of course we're going to be keeping you around you're an important part to the team and we're going to be doing 4.2 million for the next three seasons now that we cleared up that berzi money we're going to be able to give it to you so I think the only thing we really need to do right now is pick up some guys for the bottom six so Jason Dickinson I'll do 2.2 for next season you're an 82 overall you can play on the fourth line I feel like that's a pretty solid pickup so this is what we're rocking with for season number four is this team's attempting to repeat Austin Matthews lovsky and Mitch mner on the first line then we're going to have William neander Nick Paul and Eckland on the second to round out the bottom six we're going to see Jason Dickinson Matthew NIS Gregor the fourth Line's looking incredible this team can easily compete for a Stanley Cup defensively we're going to see Morgan Riley and brt Clark on the first pairing Lil grin farari on the second then Jake mccab and Matt watch round out on the third pairing meanwhile we have two fantastic goenda overall Jeremy San he's got exact a lead potential now he's ready to take over the league but we have a new backup this time around we got Dennis he's an 82 overall starter potential gold tender he can hold it down for this season because next season we're going to have a new backup and it's going to be this guy right here he's got lowly potential at 20 years old he'll probably turn into like an 82 overall by the beginning of next season and then he'll be our backup from here on out before we get into next season though I actually do want to make one trade here we're going to ship Joseph wall out because I want this goenda potential to get all the Reps this season and I don't want Joseph wall starting over them so Joseph wall I'm going to send you over to the Dallas Stars and we're going to pick up a future third rounder so it's easy to say this is the best Tome beliefs team we've ever had first in the entire league with a 44 15 and5 record and we're at the trade deadline right now averaging just under four goals per game while only allowing 2.83 if this team's not repeating this season then I don't know what's going on here it's good to see the Big Time Players making big time plays Austin Matthews 87 points here with 51 goals Mitch Marner 30 goals and 85 points William neander 70 points eckland's got 57 well Sosi was a good move moving him up to the first line he's got 45 points here at the trade deadline he might finish with around 55 maybe even 60 points he's going to continue to keep getting better while Matthew n 28 points I'm paying you 1.8 million I can't really complain with that production but I did expect You' be a bit better by this point however there's one guy we can rely on night in and night out that's Jeremy Swan 39 wins here one shout a 907 and a 283 keep doing your thing now I didn't plan on making any moves here but we're going to take a risk with oler wallstrom he's getting paid 1.5 million he's an 84 overall it's not guaranteed that he can f on the bottom six but I'm willing to take that risk so two3 rounders for him and we're getting this deal done never mind I'm going to have to add something else to the deal but we can easily get something to work here so I'll throw in Steves here I think that should be enough to be the Difference Maker it is walstrom welcome to the team so we're going to have ol walstrom playing some fourth line mints for us because that's where he has the best line fit he doesn't really fit anywhere on this team but I guess the fourth Line's the best spot I mean it's not that bad of a pickup you got Nick Robertson Gregor and walstrom here that's a pretty solid fourth line all right so there's a very good chance that we complete the repeat here because we're second in the entire league with a 5321 record if you finish first in the entire league you don't win the Stanley Cup that's a known fact we're second here averaging 3.83 goals per game only allowing 2.85 the trome police are here they're a completely different team under stick on the ice and so is Austin Matthews I believe this is a career season for him 114 points 64 goals 50 helpers Mitch Marner 109 points William neander 90 this entire team's looking fantastic and sovi just under 60 points once that contract kicks in next season we have you for the next 8 years you're going to be an absolute Beast also what walstrom do since joined the team okay he sucks that might be the worst pickup stick on the ice has ever done this man took 27 shots to not score a single goal had two points in 18 games you know what that means he's going to pick up 15 points in 22 games during the postseason he's going to step up and we need him to Meanwhile Jeremy San keep doing your thing 47 wins one sh a 905 and a 285 enough yappin been done here let's get right into the post season we had the Montreal Canadians once again the first round let's get past the Montreal Canadians real quick rematch against the Tampa lightning in the second round and then we can match up against the Carolina Hurricanes in the Conference Finals once again and then in the Stanley Cup Final I wouldn't mind beating the Winnipeg Jets once again and right now things continue to look amazing for the TR map Leafs a quick five game series and we're off to the second round just like that so we've moved on to the second round things are going according to plan we have the Tampa Bay Lightning we're going to beat them beat Carolina and then beat the Winnipeg Jets to repeat so once again we're going to be going back and forth with the Tampa Bay Lightning here but we're going to take game five which is going to allow us to take game six maybe not we got to win game game six here we can't be falling in the second round of course we're going to be winning that one 5 to2 and we're off to game seven a place where this team somehow performs so game seven the series is on the line here are we going to be coming out on top probably not we're already down two nothing in the game are we responding in the second period of course we're not we have to have a massive third period if we want to get back into this game never mind we're going to be getting smoked here brt Clark's going to be picking up our lone goal here and we're going to be following in the second round to the Tampa Bay Lightning this is an absolute massive disappointment for us but if Tampa goes on to win the Stanley Cup then I won't be quite as mad all right so Tampa won the Stanley Cup Final so I guess I'll take it we lost to an incredible team that won the Stanley Cup it was a tough game seven for us to drw but you know what we'll be able to bounce back from it so looking at the numbers on this team I mean scoring wise we didn't do too bad but defensively we clearly weren't that good Austin Matthews minus 4 Mitch Marner minus two sovi minus5 that first line definitely did not show up for us and Austin Matthews only three goals you have to be better than that like show it to Matthew n eight goals in 12 games without him we're probably not even getting out of the first round while the go tending numbers these actually are pretty good Jeremy Swan 912 and a 265 I'll take those we just didn't perform in front of you plain and simple now the draft was pretty forgettable for us we had three selections here but we didn't get any notable prospects however we did get one medium top six potential forward so I guess there is that so we don't have a ton of extensions to give up but we do have to give up some important ones we're going to be starting with Mitten we'll do two years at $1 million we're also going to pick Thomas up here I'm not sure if I'm mentioned but I did claim him on waivers so we're going to give him 2 years at 850k he's also going to be on a two-way deal here for an 80 overall I actually think that's a great pickup and then with the rest of these guys here like wallstrom mccab Matt wad Jason Dickinson we're going to be letting all of them walk however when it comes to our backup go tender I'll definitely bring Dennis back here 2 years at 800k that's a steal of a deal all right so now we have to give out some extensions here and we're going to be starting with Austin Matthews over under 13 million I'm going to be honest sometimes the simulation completely lowballs these guys we might might be able to get Austin Matthews for like $12 million he's looking for 12.7 I can definitely work with that and honestly I think we can get him for less than 12.7 million we're going to do 11 million per year for the next 8 years we're going to be locking Austin Matthews down for the rest of his prime this is going to be an incredible deal for us and then the next guy we're going to be locking down here is going to be brand Clark and we're going to be doing 6.2 million for the next eight seasons we're going to keep him alongside Austin Matthews I don't know why I said alongside Austin Matthews he's not even going to be playing with Austin Matthews we're not going to worry about that though and then Nick Robertson 1.1 for the next three I have no issue with that deal now Max doy you r on the tra M pleas for a very short time but you know what at 32 years old I actually want to bring you back here we'll do 4.4 for the next 2 years you'll be a good bottom six piece welcome back to the team so with our next sign I'm going to be doing lay to a 4-year deal at 2.3 million that's actually going to be a great deal for a depth defenseman and with our final signing we'll bring in Ian Mitchell and a three-year deal at $2 million for a third pairing defenseman he fits the role so this is what we're cooking up here it's going to be Matthews Martin sov and then Matthew n eckan and William neand are holding it down the second the bottom six TI is looking pretty solid they continue to hold it down like usual I have no issues with who we have here defensively it's the same W suspects here but we got ourselves a new third pairing both these guys were brought in on pretty cheap contracts so all I need you to do is perform on the third pairing I'm not expecting 100 goals from you but I am expecting you to prevent 100 goals from being scored and then in between the creas of course Jeremy swam continues to be our man he's 28 years old we probably got like four more good years left in him and then he'll start to decline but you never know go tenders usually decline a bit earlier he might start dropping an overall with 31 years old maybe even 30 so time might be running out with Jeremy Swan luckily we do have this 21-year-old go tender that has low lead potential he might be taking the range sooner than later and we also have this gold tender backing him up in the AHL he's got medium Elite potential if both of these guys could develop we're going to have a great goal tending tandem pretty quick here so obviously I built an incredible team we're going to be first in the entire league at the trade deadline 4119 and2 the offense flying like usual while the defense absolutely incredible but these are things that we should expect from the toron M beliefs now I have completely turned this team around Austin Matthews 82 points at the 62 game Mark Mitch Marner 74 neander 70 eckan 68 this team's incredible stovsky 51 points so far almost surpassing his total from last season everything's looking great right now and what it makes it look even better is we have Jeremy swiming putting up numbers like these this team really can't be stopped right now the only thing that's going to stop this team is ourselves like we're going to show up in the postseason very first round Matthews is going to pick up one goal in seven games neander is going to have two points and Mitch M he's going to be out there picking up one assist and that one assist is going to be on Austin Matthews longone goal I don't know why I'm talking so negative right now we've won two Stanley Cups things are actually looking really good for this team so maybe I should really stop doubting them okay hear me out here Alexander oetkin at 50% retained we're just going to assume this guy can fit on the bottom six the chances of that happening incredibly low but if he can fit on the bottom six and we can get him for like a second third and fourth rounder then this actually might be the move he's an 84 overall still he could play on the team we're going to try this a third fourth and fifth rounder for Alexander oetkin at 50% retained we got oie on the team Austin Matthews and Alexander oetkin this team is not going to have an issue scoring goals so if this team plays up to expectations then we're set William neander Mitch Marner Austin Matthews William Eckland Alexander vkin sovi this could go down as one of the greatest top sixes of all time as long as everyone plays up to expectations if even one play on this team falters especially the top six then we're toast so it was an Absolut historic season for the tra map leaves not only are we first in the entire league with a 53 26 and3 record but Austin Matthews bro was locked in this season a career high in points 116 but he also picked up 68 goals because why not so Matthews had 68 goals Mitch Martin 106 points but Alexander vkin what did you do since joined the team that's what I'm really interested in 14 points in 20 games you had six goals eight assists honestly I can't really complain with that produ ction was I hoping for some more goals absolutely you know what 14 points in 20 games I'll take that for a second line guy and to cap it all off of course we have to chuckle Jeremy Swan's numbers like usual 41 wins eight shutouts I believe that's career high for him a 909 a 908 save percentage and a 281 goals against the Leafs continue to roll and this man's the backbone to our team but when we have to match up against this team it doesn't matter what the records are we're always going to be the underdog it's the Boston Bruins taking on the ton M beliefs we know the history between these two clubs we just got to live up to the hype now now I should have known that we would have beat the Boston Bruins in a sweep here you know why because in our final game of the season we played Boston and we beat them 9 to2 we smoked this team 9 to2 in the final game of the regular season and we kept that momentum absolutely dominating this series and now we're off to the second round in four games so we weren't messing around with the Boston brunes whatsoever taking them out in a sweep and you know what I wouldn't mind taking the Tampa Bay Lightning out a sweep as well let's start the postseason 8 and0 and then maybe even match up against the Carolina Hurricanes in the Conference Finals once again okay I'm going to be completely honest I was kidding about starting the postseason 8 no but you know what we actually did it we just swept the Tampa Bay Lightning after sweeping the Boston Bruins and we're off to the Conference Finals here we haven't lost a game yet and we've been dominating every single one of them 6 to2 in game number four and 9 to3 in game number three this team really can't be stopped right now so we've made to the Conference Finals here and unfortunately we're not going to be matching up against the Carolina Hurricanes it's going to be the Columbus Blue Jackets but you know what I don't care who we take on it's going to be a sweep no matter what we were really about to sweep the Columbus Blue Jet backs but they got lucky and won game number two here but that's fine let's just make this a five game series we're 12-1 in the postseason right now we might be taking on the Chicago Blackhawks as they have a 3-2 series lead I don't care who we take on Toronto's coming out on top so here we go it's time for Stanley Cup number three here the toron map Leaf match up against the Chicago Blackhawks who would have thought that in year number five here we would be in our third Stanley Cup Final I can tell y'all for a fact I would never thought we would be here the Toronto Maple Leafs of all teams I've been able to turn around I've really done the impossible and similar to every series we've played so far let's make this a quick series but I guess that's not going to be happening so far we split the series with the Chicago Blackhawks we can't lose to Chicago we've made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final and now it's time to finish things up here in game number six we're coming out on top of an overtime winner for us and the toron Maple Leafs are Stanley Cup champions three times in the last 5 years I've really turned this team into a dynasty no real talk the big time players are making big time plays out here not only did Matthews have 15 goals but he finished with 32 points Marner 29 Points Alexandro vkin what a pickup that was 11 goals in 19 games here he had 23 points this entire team was locked in lovsky got 19 points like look at the entire offense here even the defense was great this entire team was absolutely locked in and Jeremy SW and these numbers actually not as good as I thought they would be 16 wins one shout a 910 a 297 bro had a 297 and one a Stanley Cup ain't no way you know what we'll take it all right so I'm cooking up something special here in y'all don't even know the significance of this the 32nd overall over to the Seattle Kraken I'm going to try to pick up the 74th a third rounder in the 170th I'm going to send this over they're saying yes immediately they don't know what they just did and the reason I made that trade there wasn't any good Prospect around the 32nd overall range however around the 75th overall we had this guy right here a medium Le potential sniper welcome to the team and we're not done there with the good selections because with the 170th overall we're going to be securing a low lead potential playmaker so I think it's safe to say trading way 32nd overall pick definitely worth it during the resign phase we don't really have to bring anyone back I guess I could bring back oetkin but cut to the chase Bros 42 years old and an 83 overall he's going to be like a 79 overall by the beginning of the season and I don't want to risk that so we have basically the entire team under contract still and we could give up some extensions here but honestly I don't think we're going to be spending too much money ferari I would like to bring him back but an 83 overall is he worth $5 million I'm not too sure about that one Lil grin he's the 83 overall as well what is he looking for that's not happening I can tell you that right now while the rest of these guys I think we're going to be letting them walk I'll probably bring back Gregor I'll bring back Mitten maybe even Thomas but the rest of these guys it might not be happening okay I think this could be the move with that low Elite potential gold tender we're going to do an 8-year deal at $1.3 million even if he doesn't develop into anything special 1.3 for a backup is actually a pretty good contract so I'm going to offer this over to him he's probably going to say yes and then he'll be our backup for the near future however with this medium Elite potential go tender I'll give him a one-ear extension at 800k I don't even know what's going to happen with this man because he hasn't really developed like I was hoping and then this medium starter potential go tender that's an 82 overall I'll do two years at 800k we'll see what happens you know what I think I've changed my mind with ferari cuz we can bring him back at basically the same price as we he getting paid right now it's actually a couple 100K more we're going to do 4.6 for the next 3 years right now he's getting 4.4 so I can live with that contract L green on the other hand it's not happening I'll also do this deal with Gregor right here we'll do 1.6 for the next 3 years that's a pretty decent deal for a bottom six guy and he continues to perform well and to cap it all off with Mitten just over a million for the next 2 years so although we have the entire team coming back next season I do want to pick up this guy from the Pittsburgh Penguins he's a young player a 79 overall only 22 years old and I think he can develop into a decent bottom six piece for us so I'm going to trade a second a sixth and a seventh to again on the team and I'm also going to give him an 8year extension because I said at the beginning of this video we're not going to be realistic it's 25 years so here's 8 years at 950k even if he develops into like an 84 over overall that's an incredible deal I'm just going to emphasize this again it's a 25-year rebuild you can't expect me to be realistic I'm saving money by any means possible we're getting deals done by any means possible I don't care if it's realistic or not we're winning Stanley Cups out here that's how you know it's unrealistic Toronto's winning staning cups since we've already made it unrealistic we might as well make it more unrealistic let's get crazy out here we're also going to try a one-year deal here with clim cost if he joins the team at 1.9k then I have no issue with that also I don't I know why I said 1.9k 1.9 million that is a massive Difference by like multiple zeros so unfortunately we're not going to be signing that guy we got from Pittsburgh for 800k because the New Jersey Devils are going to send him a qualifying offer so we're bringing him in for 1.2 million I hit continue I didn't match the offer I didn't match the offer did I I was not paying attention I didn't match the offer I am so dumb I don't think I matched the offer I didn't match the offer I really didn't match the offer I am so dumb I am so unbelievably dumb I traed away a second a sixth and a seventh for nothing yeah I I have nothing to say about that one I really screwed that one up I'm not going to lie I kind of hope he turns into like a 90 overall player I really want him to turn into a 90 overall player and then we can just watch that stupid move backfire on us so much I think it'd be hilarious I'm not going to lie all right I haven't got over the fact that I didn't match that offer but you know what we're going to get over it right now Austin Matthews Mitch martiners the kovski and he's got some X factors now Matthew n Eckland William neander the greatest top six of all time the bottom six absolutely spectacular here doy is still here Nick Paul's here clim C we're looking fantastic we go to St Louis Legend on the team that's how you know we're going to be doing good the defense the exact same as last season except Mitchell's dropped to a 79 overall but you know what I can live with that and you know what else I can live with Jeremy San 88 overall win us another staning cup we got a bounce back from that massive screw up I just had now it's pretty clear our team isn't normally as good as they are at the treade deadline we're sixth in the entire league here with a 3723 and three record but you know what we're going to change that the offense it's great the defense clearly needs a bit of help so it's time to trade for a defenseman I mean to be fair when you have a offensive core like this William neander Matthews Marner eckan lovsky Matthew n you don't really have to worry about scoring goals keeping pucks out of the net though probably something we should work on swayman 31 wins three shouts a 908 and a 292 you just have to keep on doing you you're 30 years old I don't know how much time we have left with you try to win us another Stanley Cup if you're able to I don't know why I keep putting all the pressure on Jeremy swayan like every single trade deadline I'm like oh yeah you have to win us the Stanley Cup you single-handedly have to turn this entire team around and win us a Stanley Cup if we don't win a Stanley Cup it's because Jeremy Swan wasn't performing Jeremy Swan we appreciate the heck out of you and it's not always your fault most of the time it's actually never your fault it'll be like one of our key forward pieces not scoring goals yeah so shout out to Jeremy San and respect your goal tender I guess that's the meaning of this rant all right so I'm just going to tell yall right now sod has one more year I'm I'm giving this man one more year to develop he's 23 years old and is only a 72 overall at some point you have to turn it around like the 20-year-old that we just picked up in the last draft he's already a 72 he's the same overall as you and he's three years younger so you better turn it around real quick here if you're not at minimum a 78 overall next season you're being traded so we are going to be making one trade here at the deadlines going to be two third rounders and Thomas over to the New York Islanders we're going to pick up Adam pelic an 84 overall defensive defenseman he can play some second pairing minutes for us and that's exactly where he's going to be playing welcome to the team so you already know how it goes Toronto second in the entire league because I'm the greatest gym of all time I turn the Toronto Maple Leafs a poverty franchise a team that can't win into Stanley Cup champions not one time not two time three time Stanley Cup champions in five years neander 97 points Matthews 93 Marner 90 I'm allowing these guys to succeed right here Matthew n a man that hasn't really done much this entire video Until Now 73 points so the coughs 68 points Brent Clark he's got 54 and the gold tending Jeremy Swan I'm not going to take the credit for you because you're him plain and simple 41 wins four shs a 907 and a 292 the numbers continue to be absolutely fantastic we moved on to the postseason we got the Carolina Hurricanes we already know this team can't beat us let's go win another Stanley Cup so Carolina actually is competing with us and I was not expecting that I thought this was going to be a quick sweep and right now we have a 3-2 series lead because of course we're going to win game five and let's close this out in game number six six here 5 to one we're off to the second round why was I scared of Carolina they're frauds so we've got past Carolina after I was nervous through the first four games but I shouldn't have been because the Tron M beliefs are obviously the second best team in the entire league right now because obviously the St Louis Blues will always be better than this team actually I should say third best it goes St Louis then the Boston Bruins then the toron PS because Boston will always have this team's number we're always the underdog against them and that's who we're taking on next but you know what I should have realized by now that the old Toronto Maple couldn't comp with the Boston Bruins this is the stick on the ice Toronto Maple Leafs they're a completely different team and we're getting by these boys in five games the Bruins really can't compete with us this is also a completely different timeline where the Boston Bruins don't beat the TR mate beliefs nine times out of 10 this is the NHL 24 timeline and anything can happen here and speaking of anything happening the two best teams are matching up in the Eastern Conference here the New York Rangers taking on the Toronto mate beliefs but with the way Toronto's been playing recently I think it's going to be a tough match up for the New York rang rers they better not take us lightly and I told the New York Rangers they can't take us lightly we're the stick on the ice Toronto Maple Leafs we're a different team do not blow a 3-1 series lead whatever you do do not blow a 31 series lead we're about to blow a 3-1 series lead this is not the stick on the ice Toronto Maple Leafs this is the regular Toronto Maple Leafs they're the ones that blow 31 series leads okay so it's pretty plain and simple here if the ton Maple Leafs win it's the stick on the ice ton Maple Leafs if we lose it's the regular ton Maple Leafs okay we're heading into overtime here stick on the ice Toronto M Leafs it's time for y'all to take over great work Toronto the normal Toronto map Leafs youall are blowing a 3-1 series lead here in New York's off to the Stanley Cup Final I can't rely on you guys whatsoever now been all seriousness this team has actually performed a lot better in the first six years than I was expecting so we might have lost in the Conference Finals here but is it bad to say that I rather lose in the Conference Finals to the New York Rangers than lose in the Stanley Cup Final to the San Jose Sharks because I took William Eckland away from that team I have no clue what they had left for prospects and they somehow won a Stanley cop for some reason I feel like losing to the New York Rangers is more honorable than the San Jose Sharks I feel like there's a lot of people that would respect that opinion okay so I was trying to figure out what went wrong with the toron mate beliefs here William neander minus 10 Eckland minus 6 Matthew n minus 7 how were y'all this bad like seriously neander you had 20 points and were minus 10 I don't even know how that's possible meanwhile Jeremy Swan these are the the worst numbers you've ever put up in the postseason it wasn't our year plain and simple everything was going against us okay so I'm trying to cook something up here and trade for the 13th overall all right so I'm trying to get a deal done for the 13th overall but for some reason I can't trade for the 13th overall pick because I'll be over the League salary cap if I acquire a pick yeah that makes so much sense so what I have to do is I have to trade Max Do's expiring contract in order to get a 13th overall pick I don't know how that makes sense but I guess that's what we're doing so we just got the 13th overall now we have to hope that the Prospect we want still available at 13 and we're getting lucky here because Ryder Boyer is still going to be available he could have medium Le potential as well as being a gem so we got to add him to our team I'm going to make this selection right here he's got medium lead potential he's a sniper I think that's an incredible deal for us but we're not done with the great selections yet and as I said we're not done there but we do got to acquire a draft pick here and we're going to begin the 84th overall from the Philadelphia Flyers Philly thinks that's a sweet proposal wait till you see who we get because with the 84th overall pick we're going to be securing a medium leak defensive def vman who's a 60 overall this is a fantastic pickup for us right here we trade a fourth and seventh rounder in order to get a medium Le potential player if that's not a steel I don't know what it is so right now we have a ton of players on expiring contracts but I don't think I'm going to be bringing back any of these guys unless the L gr wants to be reasonable with this contract here 6.4 million I'm not going to be doing that for an 84 overall who's 30 years old clim Cen though I might bring you back if you want to be reasonable 2.5 not necessarily the worst deal in the world let me think about that one for a second so I thought about that for a good 30 seconds and I've decided that we're going to be passing on clim C it really doesn't make sense to bring him back at 2.5 million especially since he's only picking up like 20 points a season then again I'm probably going to bring somebody in for $3 million who's going to pick up 30 points so at the end of the day it just don't matter so I think it's safe to say that the Morgan Riley era in Toronto has officially come to an end at 35 years old he's dropped to an 84 overall he doesn't have nearly as many X factors as he used to have so this is the perfect time to trade him away while he only has one year left on his contract I'm going to try to send him over to the Minnesota Wild for a second and a third unfortunately that's not going to be enough but I feel like if we throw a fifth rounder in this deal that'll be enough to get it done so here's a 2031 fifth round pick and I think we should be able to get a second and a third now so we got this deal done but now it's time to flip some assets and the reason we're flipping assets is I really want Sam Dickinson I feel like he could be the replacement for Morgan Riley he's an 86 overall 23 years old and he can fit on the top line here him and Brent Clark together is going to be one of the best pairings in the entire league I'm going to offer them two second round picks I'm not overly surprised they're saying no to that I'm going to try to hold on to our first round pick but if I can do it with 2 seconds and a third then that would be absolutely fantastic so I'll offer this package over to the Montreal Canadians they're still saying no you know what I feel like we're actually really close here so maybe a fourth round pick could be the Difference Maker if not I'm willing to do 2/3 and 2 seconds so Minnesota's second and third rounder and the Toronto second and third rounder over to the Montreal Canadians for Sam Dickinson they're still going to be saying no to this deal I'll throw in a fourth rounder and if this doesn't work then we'll get to throwing first round picks in the deal but it looks like we won't have to use a first rounder because Sam Dickinson's joined the team okay for the amount of moves I'm making we're going to have absolutely no draft picks for the next two years but I'm perfectly fine with that and now we're picking up kivy Haru from the Calgary Flames he's going to be a good piece on our top four defense I guess a fourth fifth and seventh rounder is going to be enough so I add a sixth rounder into this deal and that should be enough to get it done we're acquiring kivy hary from the Calgary Flames we have zero picks left and when I say zero I mean we have this season's first rounder next season's first rounder and a sixth rounder then we don't have picks till 2032 so yeah we're definitely not going to be allowing ourselves to make too many trades here and the reason I trade for kii Haru is I believe this man can play some big second pairing minutes for us so at 3.4 million that's actually a steal of a deal for the next 8 years even if he only develops to like an 84 overall 83 overall that's actually a pretty good deal because in 2 years from now 80 overall defenseman are going to be worth about $6 million so we got to fill up the bottom six here and I feel like Nick W is going to serve the purpose will'll do one year $3 million the next pick will be Kun and will'll do two years at 1.3 million that's actually a steal of a deal for an 81 overall even if he doesn't play great for us at 1.3 million I can't expect him to be picking up 50 goals of course you know I have to be picking up PS and an absolute Legend here will do 2.5 million for the next 2 years to play some bottom six minutes for us that's a steal pen and hoglander two Vancouver connects Legends and to finish off our pickups we'll do Zaden to $2 million for this season those pickups are going to be really good for our bottom six the top six of course we don't have to touch but the bottom six definitely need some upgrades after all the guys we lost yeah so I just thought I mentioned that Nick wah actually just decided to say you know what screw the trate Le I'm going to the Winn pay Jets so Nick W is really the Ops and we have to beat him in the Stanley Cup Final we have to get our revenge okay so I really want to bring back William Eckland but this man will not do anything other than a one-year contract right now we can do eight years but then it's going to cost me $17 million that's not happening you have until January to smarten up if you're still asking for $17 million in January I'm trading you away there's nothing else we can do and obviously I don't want to trade Eckland away cuz look at this team Matthews kovsky Marner neander eckan Matthew n the bottom six pretty solid here A plus two boost on the third line a plus one on the fourth we're looking absolutely incredible the defense on the other hand that's a different story Dickinson Brent Clark absolutely fantastic the other four guys here a lot of question marks faari I have no issue with you K Haru you actually don't have a good fit on any of the lines here except for the first line and even that's not the greatest fit in the world so you're going to be playing some second line minutes if you don't develop over the next 2 years then you'll be traded immediately I'm not going to waste any any time with you I'm not going to wait for you to develop and only develop into like an 82 overall meanwhile Jeremy swam is going to be in between the pipes for us Dennis is the backup once again meanwhile in the AHL we have the 80 overall goldendiamond I'm simming to January 1st if he is not smartened up and won't accept a more reasonable contract then we'll be trading him away now William Eklund this is exactly what I was waiting for a very reasonable deal with you will do 10.25 million for the next 8 years and that's going to keep you along for the rest of your prime a fantastic deal for the tra mate beliefs and I'm so incredibly happy you're accepting this deal here I mean he hasn't accepted it yet but I know he will and the reason I'm so happy this team's looking incredible right now and that second line absolutely Unstoppable so as I said the Leafs are looking absolutely fantastic we're fourth in the entire league here with a 402 And1 record right now the offense is doing its thing 3.89 goals per game while the defense is also doing their thing 2.9 three I thought our defense was going to be a bit weak this season I guess not they're really cooking and you know who else is cooking William neander 84 points here at the 61 game Mark absolutely flying Mitch Marner he's got 83 Austin Matthews 78 Ecklund he's got 77 stovsky 63 we have five guys on the team right now averaging over a point a game while Matthew n 47 points in 61 games I definitely can't complain about that even Gregor 30 points in 61 games here he's doing a great job playing his role on this team meanwhile Jeremy swam is doing his usual thing 34 wins one shot a 903 and 297 we already know we can win with Swan so we might as well try to do it again so I think we're going to be making a deal with the St Louis Blues here and this is definitely going to put us over the edge two first rounders for Zachary buluk he's an 87 overall he's got a ton of X Factor he's only 27 years old if there's a world in which we have enough money to bring him back I would absolutely love to do that however I don't think it's going to be possible I also think two first rounders is more than enough so we actually might be able to get a third back in the deal as well I'm going to send this over to St Louis they're saying no you know what we'll just do two for first rounders for bul duuk a great deal okay that's actually not going to be enough so we're going to have to throw our sixth rounder in the deal we have no draft picks for the next two seasons that's definitely not ideal in a 25-year rebuild but you know what we're winning right now and we got to stack up as many Stanley Cups as possible and I think it's also pretty clear that this is going to be our only move here because we have no draft picks left so yeah bulke you better be the missing piece okay so this is what we're going to be doing it's going to be buke on the second line with William eckan and William neander and then Matthew ni he's going down to the third line where we're going to be getting a plus two boost here it's a plus five on the second a plus five on the first yeah we're about to cook and you know what we actually have some money to bring back Zachary bull Duke here so he's going to be playing some second Lin man for us next season we're going to do 7 million for the next three years I don't care that our defense is a bit weak we have the best forward Court in the NHL and we're scoring a ton of goals so yeah it's over for the rest of the league second in the entire league with a 54 26 and2 record scoring four goals per game okay so at the trade deadline I know for a fact William neander and William Eckland were both putting up great numbers but ekan finished with 110 points and neander has 112 I think that means these boys picked up 40 points in the final 20 games also Mitch Marner has 105 here Austin Matthews 99 points everyone was locked in also Zachary baluk what' you do since joined the team 25 points and 21 games you were an amazing pickup for us like this actually might go down as our best pickup so far I mean that's a lie because we did pick up Jeremy swayan and he continu to do Jeremy swam and things but in 899 Sab you might be over the hill now this might be your final season with the team here cuz you might start declining sooner than we think you're 31 years old and 88 overall I would love to keep you here but I don't think you're that guy anymore actually what am I doing doubting Jeremy Swan he's won this team three Stanley Cups and he's about to win this team their fourth Stanley Cup we got a win the first round that team only won like 39 games let's sweep them real quick okay what are the Toronto Maple Leafs doing right now not the stick on the ice Toronto Maple Leafs just the regular Toronto Maple leafes now they're the stick on the ice Toronto Maple leafes there's a very big difference between the two and we're going to close this out six games 65 in game number four and 53 in game number three those are my Toronto map Leafs these ones right here that's not my team so that series was a lot closer than I expected but you know what I think that was the tough match up we had to go through and now we have the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second round we already know Tampa can't even match up against us so the Leafs are absolutely flying right now we got ourselves a 3-1 series lead and we're going to close it out here in game number five a 5-1 Victory no we're picking up an insane amount of goals right now but I mean that's how I built the team so I'm not really over surprised so I think the only way we lose this Stanley Cup is our offense somehow gets stopped here unless a goal tender can prevent us from scoring five goals a game there's no team that's stopping us the New York Rangers can't stop us the ABS can't stop us and the Oilers that defense certainly can't stop us okay the Rangers have stopped our offense in back-to-back games now if we don't win game five we're probably losing this series okay we just scored eight goals we got this series in the bag we're going to win game six never mind we're off to game seven normally when you win a game 8 to four you have all the momentum somehow we lost that immediately so we have a lot of Big Time Players on this team and now it's time to make some big time plays we're losing in the first period hopefully we bounce back in the second of course we are William neander and brt Clark The Amazing Power plays going to work here and in the third period Keandre Miller is going to be tying this game up we're going to need some overtime the Toronto mate beliefs I take that back the stick on the ice Toronto mate beliefs they're about to show up here I told you mittens picking up the short-handed goal in overtime we're winning this one and we're off to the Stanley Cup final I guarantee you if I said the Toronto mate beliefs are off to overtime then we would have allowed a power play goal there but I changed my mind and I made sure to say it's the stick on the ice toron mate beliefs and that's why we're off to the Stanley Cup Final the stick on the ice Toronto mate beliefs are known for scoring eight goals a game now we're playing Edmonton we already know what Edmonton's defense is all about we might average 10 goals a game in this final round so let's go ahead simulate through the first four games of this series and ideally just make a quick sweep here it's actually not going to be a sweep we're tied two to2 game five is going to be a massive one we got to pick up eight goals here no way we lose in game six whatever y'all do do not lose in game six to the Emon Oilers we're winning that one 5 to Four game seven Stanley Cup on the line it's time for the stick on the ice teron maple leaves to show up I should just start calling them the stick on the ice Maple leafes I think that's what we're going to do for the rest of the video it's time for the stick on the ice Maple leafes to show up here game seven Stanley Cup Final let this team cook so here we go it all comes down to this the first period we're not cooking we are not cooking in the slightest we're down two nothing we got a bounce back here in the second it's over we lost we are cooked we are not cooked we are not cooked yet hold on 3 to three we're going into overtime and we won we won the Stanley Cup I counted this team out the stick on the ice Maple Leafs they cook when this team is down and out we bounce back three unanswered in the third period ekin picking up the OT winner we should have lost this Stanley Cup we should have lost in game number seven here but Edmonton choked that's classic Oilers fashion the stick on on the ice Maple Leafs they know how to perform when it matters most no I'm actually gassed that we just won a Stanley Cup here that's Stanley Cup number four and we're near what eight right now four Stanley cups in eight years no we're locked in actually I take that back we're in year number seven right now we've won four Stanley Cups in seven years the goal for this video was to win seven Stanley Cups in total we've won four in seven years we actually might win 10 Stanley Cups here and I think the funniest part about this is we have so many players with a negative plus minus William neander minus 5 Austin Matthews minus 2 Eckland minus 2 sovi minus 3 Mitch Marner minus 2 most of this team had a negative plus minus actually that's a lie the defense was good and so was the bottom six the bottom six really made the difference before we head to next season though Jeremy swayan I was doubting you and i' would like to apologize personally 15 wins zero shots a 903 and a 298 I mean those numbers aren't the best but you did win us another Stanley Cup so I got to take it all back so these are all the Fantastic draft picks we made obviously we got a a ton of studs here no draft data I think that guy's going to develop into an absolutely Elite Prospect in the future I could see him picking up 82 goals and 82 games he's him so I think we're going to be making some changes here in the upcoming season I know we just want a Stanley Cup but zadina is going to be leaving the team Mitchell's going to be leaving the team we're going to lose Cohen he was a healthy scratch for us actually I'm just going to qualify him as an RFA and then we'll trade him or something but sod I'm trading you at 24 years old yeah you have medium lead potential but you're only a 74 overall you haven't really been veloping and you know who else hasn't been developing lamb at 24 years old he's a 76 overall I don't want to commit a ton of money to these guys because I don't think they're going to develop into anything so I'm trading both of them away so I'm honestly really surprised to see that why Johnson's available here as a free agent and no one's picked him up so far so we'll do 3.2 million for the next 3 years he's going to be a great bottom six player especially if he's playing alongside Matthew n those two together on the third line it's going to be unstoppable okay so I think this actually could be the deal for us KIVI Haru I made a big deal about acquiring you last season I I said you're going to be one of the best defenseman on the team you're going to play some big second Parry minutes yeah I've changed my mind on that I'm going to trade you over to the Florida Panthers I'm picking up langfeld here he's an 83 overall to play in the second line not only are we acquiring him but we're also getting Josh mahura unfortunately though we got to offer a bit more so I'm going to turn that 7th rounder into a sixth rounder and I think that should be enough to get this deal done so we just picked up two new defenseman that's going to help our defensive core here and I think that makes us even better than last season and then ideally with that defense we just acquired I would get him for a better deal than this okay he's going to play on the team for one season and then we're trading him away he's an 83 overall that wants 6.5 million for one season if I did an 8-year deal with him it's going to be almost $10 million so you can play on the team for one season and then I'll trade you away I actually won't be able to trade you away because you won't be in RFA so we're going to be losing you but you know what this works out for the team now this trade might not make any sense because I'm trading a medium Le potential player for a top four potential player but Boer here he's already up to an 83 overall at 21 years old while sad what is he a 74 or 24 he's not going to reach medium Le potential I can tell you that right now so I might as well acquire somebody that's a bit younger that's already a high overall and he has 2 years left on his contract at $1 million so I can live with that so I doubled back with langfeld here and honestly this deal is not going to work for us langfeld on the 7eventh over to the Colorado Avalanche we're picking up Peterson he's going to be able to play on the right side for us because right now we have too many left defensemen also I guess the seventh rounder is not going to be enough so maybe a fifth rounder can be the difference I'll offer that over they're still saying no we have to do a fifth and a seventh honestly I'd rather not do a fifth and a seventh but we need some more help on the right side so this is a deal that's going to get it done all right so here's the plan score more goals than the opposition Matthew sovi Mitch Marner William neander baluk Eckland Matthew N W Johnson Coan pen Gregor Nick Robertson the defense were actually not going to talk about Sam Dickinson Brent Clark I can rely on you two guys the other four defenseman here if you can keep the puck out of the net then I'm not going to complain meanwhile the go tending situation Jeremy Swan he's dropped to an 87 overall at 31 years old he's going to start declining quick I decided to bring up that low lead potential gold tender he's got to get some reps here in the NHL I was hoping he'd be up to an 82 by now but you know what we're going to Lev with an 80 overall the stick on the ice Maple have the opportunity to repeat something that we haven't done in this video yet and with the core we have here I think there's a very good chance that happens our only weakness our defense and that's a fact the top two guys they have good line fits everyone else on this team does not have a good line fit it's a very midline fit but at least the guys are young like a 21-year old defenseman a 22-year old defenseman maybe they'll be able to develop into something I highly doubt it though because they're going to be wanting about $7 million pretty soon so I was about to say that Peterson wants $7 million right now but he actually doesn't I can do 1.15 for the next two seasons so we're going to be able to keep him on the team at a very reasonable cap hit I was not expecting that I was fully expecting this man to ask for $8 million so you know what I'll take it so I told yall we're going to be outscoring the other team 43 13 and six with the best offense in the entire league but the most surprising thing we have the best defense as well 2.66 gos AOW per game how is our defense allowing the least amount of goals per game right now that makes no sense meanwhile Austin Matthews 90 points Mitch Marner 80 William neander 70 and the gold tning numbers I got to see what San's been up to 33 wins one shout a 905 and a 276 but hold on look at the backup here a 933 a 199 four shutouts and 10 victories okay he might be taking over next season I don't care what his overall is I don't care he's an 80 bro is putting up Elite numbers right now yeah he's only played 15 games but he has 10 wins and four shutouts okay he's him he's the guy for the future as long as he develops I mean I don't really want to have an 80 overall as our gold tender but right now it's looking like he's the man for us also since we're doing so good I'm not going to make any trades here but I also don't want to trade more draft picks away because we have none for this season we already traded a few for next season we got to manage our assets because so far I've not been doing a good job at that but then again we have W four Stanley Cups so I think I'm actually doing a good job okay just give us the Stanley Cup now we went 16 and3 to finish out the year first in the entire league with a 66 and3 record 4.4 goals per game allowing 2.61 no teams even close to us look at these Edmonton Oilers only 3.94 goals per game do y'all even know how to score and then here's the top guys here Matthews 117 points 62 goals Mitch Marner 113 stovsky 103 neander 94 bul Duke he's got 82 what a pickup that was Eckland 81 this team's really Unstoppable why Johnson he's got 57 points on the third line and Jeremy Swan 50 wins three shots a 909 and a 266 meanwhile our backup I think he played one game after the trade deadline so yeah we're rocking with Jeremy Swan he's still the man so we have a real opportunity here to win our fifth Stanley Cup we're in year number eight here five Stanley Cups would be absolutely incredible at this point I'm lowkey aiming for 10 Stanley Cups in the next 25 years we got to hold it down and we're going to be starting off with the New Jersey dels in this postseason no messing around here boys 16 and0 okay so right now now the Toronto Maple Leafs are playing and not the stick on the ice Maple Leafs how are y'all tied in the series right now 65 is definitely a stick on the ice Maple Leafs type win and now we just got to close out here in game number six we lost 2 to one game seven first round we're a 60 win team and now we're off to game seven I'm not too happy okay so Austin Matthews has seven goals in six games he's been a big time player right now and now I need him to make some big time plays period number one here are we cooking something up here we're down three nothing I think it's over 3 to one are we going amount of comeback here we actually are holy crap we're going to win in game seven aren't we we won in game seven this Toronto Maple Leaf's team is built different show out to William neander scoring with 18 seconds left in the third period here I have absolutely no clue how he just made a comeback but we're off to the second round I feel like we deserve a Stanley Cup at this point we just made a big comeback here y'all just got to give it to us right now like honestly imagine losing in the first round couldn't be the stick on the ice Maple Leafs the draw Maple Leafs certainly would have and you know who else certainly would have because they did the Edmonton Oilers look at those frauds following to the San Jose Sharks Toronto is guaranteed to stand on the cup as long as they perform okay this team has been messing around in the postseason way too much currently this series is tied 2 to2 there is no reason that we should be tied in the series right now a big game five win is going to give us the lead in the series and now we're going to close out in game six and we're moving on to the Conference Finals we have the Carolina Hurricanes no point stopping here let's keep on simulating we might as well sweep the Carolina Hurricanes while we're at it of course we're not we're splitting the series 2 to2 game five let's lock in let's win this one of course we are now we got the lead in this series and it's time to close it out in game number six here and of course we are and now we're in the Stanley Cup Final the Chicago Blackhawks versus the teron Maple Leafs I don't want to mess up the momentum here we got to keep on rolling and things are not looking good we're currently down 3-1 in the series do not lose to the Chicago Blackhawks let's spark a comeback a massive 2-1 victory in game number five and then we're going to win game six 5 to four here an overtime winner are we really sparking a 3-1 series comeback game seven Stanley Cup Final the Tome Maple Leafs have been here before we've mounted insane comebacks in game sevens before this is the perfect ending for this team so Austin Matthews has put up some insane numbers during the postseason and now I need some insane numbers here the first period is not going our way but you know what we've been able to bounce back from this before and of course we are in the second period here four goals and now we're going to lock down the third period and win a Stanley Cup we're winning this one 6 to four and the TR mate beliefs are completing the repeat five Stanley cups in 8 years this is unreal no like seriously we've won five Stanley cups in 8 years here this is absurd and there's one clear reason why we won the Stanley Cup and it's Austin Matthews 42 points 24 goals this man picked up 24 goals in 26 games absolutely unreal Mitch Marner 30 points neander 30 Sakowski 25 and in order for us to win the Stanley Cup Jeremy Swan had to be the goal tender for us that's number five for him but that might be the last 16 wins one shout and 891 of 340 these are not Stanley cup numbers like I'm just doing some quick math here but I think we're on Pace to win 15 Stanley Cups in this rebuild that's certainly not going to happen but it is something to remember we're on Pace for 15 cups so after winning backto back Stanley Cups here we have to go into the draft and bring in a couple great prospects no draft data I think he can be a good player for us he's a high-risk High reward guy though he's either going to be a stud or a mass of bust no draft data on the other hand a stellar player no draft data he might not be that guy but you just never know there are couple guys I want to bring back to the team here we're going to start with P in 2.2 for the next 2 years an incredible deal for what you're producing for us Nick Robertson will do 2.5 with you but anything higher I'm not willing to accept and then with Mitten I'll definitely do a one-year deal that's on a two-way contract so you can either play in the lineup or be in the AHL either way I'm perfectly fine with that contract also Boer welcome to the team you're up to a 78 overall you can definitely play on the fourth line or something maybe even the third line will get you some extra minutes so bold is not really feeling 2.2 million we'll do 2.4 for the next 2 years if he doesn't accept this contract though I will be walking away from him so I'll offer that over he's saying no because he wants to play some more minutes you know what I think we're just going to be walking away here and then lamb you are a UFA right now so I better bring you back to the team 1.2 million for the next 3 years even if you don't develop into a starting gold tender for us I can keep that contract in the AHL so honestly I think I'm going to do something that I probably have never done in any rebuild a guy like William neander has a ton of trade value he's 35 years old and 86 overall we could trade him away and bring in a good asset however we've just won two back-to-back Stanley Cups here I don't want to lose William neander we're going to ride out his contract here we'll let him walk during free agency but you know what William nander you're a crucial part to this team and I want to make sure you stay here also Sam Dickinson's also being a bit of an L man's I mentioned this earlier I'm not sure if I did maybe I did maybe I didn't it doesn't matter but he only wants a 2-year contract at 7.6 million if we do8 years he wants $10 million I'm not necessarily willing to do that actually $10 million isn't that bad on 8year deal so if we could hypothetically do something like 9.3 3 million for the next 8 years I can live with that contract because you're playing top minutes here I feel like this isn't too bad of a deal meanwhile we got to do some highrisk high reward deals and we're doing this with one of our medium Le potential prospects he's only 22 years old but we're going to try to lock him down to a $1.4 million deal for the next 8 years he's only 22 years old he's going to have tons of time to develop and he's probably going to be playing in the NHL this season so I think this contract is The Right Move also Boer I'll qualify you as an RFA during next off season but I'm not bringing you back at 6.6 million unless you develop a ton over the offseason in next season because right now 6.6 is definitely not worth it for an 83 overall and right now we have a lot of people potentially walking Jeremy Swan 88 overall he's 32 years old he's on an expiring contract here I have my questions about Jeremy swming if I'm being completely honest the past two postseason runs although we've won Stanley Cups his numbers haven't looked that great so Jeremy Swan's time in Toronto might be coming to an end all right so I found this young in over in Detroit and bro looks like an absolute stud for us and he can definitely develop into something special what it's going to cost to get him I'm not 100% sure sure but a second rounder and Cohen that might be enough I actually don't think that's going to be enough but I'm still going to offer it over they're saying no a seventh rounder can probably be the differenc maker though this man can fit on every single forward line he's pretty young right now I think he's only 22 years old he's 21 and 83 overall he's already got some X factors he can definitely be something special for us a seventh rounder is not enough so I'll offer a sixth rounder and we'll get this steel done this is going to be a big pickup for the team I haven't decided what line he's going to be playing on probably the third line maybe even the second I guess we'll have to see how things work out but we have to remember he is an rface we are going to have to give him an extension here but I'll do 8 years at 2.6 million I'm not scared of that deal whatsoever that man's going to develop into an absolute stud for us I am gassing this man up you might call it glazing because it is glazing I'm not even going to lie I'm getting carried away okay this is going to be a massive risk here we're bringing in Jacob trouba Bros 37 years old we're only signing him to a one-year deal at probably $3 million we're just going to hope that he has a perfect line fit here on the third line supposedly he does and we're also going to hope that he doesn't drop an overall all right so we've already won two Stanley Cups in a row it's time to complete the three Pat The Usual Suspects are here the third Line's even better they're getting a plus two overall boost while the fourth line we got some studs here Ryder Boer he's making his jump to the NHL I think we're ready for another Stanley Cup however I'm also contemplating sending Boer down to the AHL he's an ad overall he doesn't have the greatest line fit here I feel like him playing a I feel like him playing first line man in the AHL is probably better for him so we might be making a trade here defensively Dickinson and Clark are going leaned the way Peterson and berer they're holding it down the second pairing well farari and trouba they can do their thing on the third pairing trouba I'm actually not 100% convinced that he's going to be making it to the end of the season here playing third paing minutes at 78 overall that's probably not ideal meanwhile the gold tending situation 88 overall Jeremy Swan we already know what you can do for this team you might go down as the greatest Terron Maple Leafs golender of all time five Stanley Cups with the ton Maple Leafs no that's unheard of also I made the executive decision to rock with Boer on the fourth line he'll get some NHL experienced this season that's not the worst for him the dream of AI is still alive and well with the toron Maple Leaves 406 and4 averaging four goals per game while only allowing 2.67 I still haven't figured out how our defense is that good like it honestly makes no sense now I understand it's not just defenseman that helped the defense but the entire forward core if they're good defensively then that helps a lot but even still I did not think I built a good defensive team here also Austin Matthews has 52 goals in 60 games he's 34 years old by the way I just realized that like this is getting old Matthew's 34 years old Mitch mner he's 34 William neander he's 35 he might be 36 at this point he's still only 35 like this core is getting old they're still producing but man time is definitely running out here meanwhile when it comes to go tending that's running out as well but Jeremy San he's throwing the clock back 34 wins six shs and 917 to 250 keep holding it down and keep doing your thing I guess age is never going to affect this man maybe I actually should extend him for next season because I don't think our backup's actually going to be the guy because his numbers are are not good he has low Fringe starter potential all right Jeremy Swan more than likely you're coming back next season unless I trade for a good young gold tener cuz that also could be the move but until then we do have to win a Stanley Cup here and I think one move we should make is bring in a good defenseman to play on the right side sha dersy you might feel that role but for some reason I think you play on the left side so maybe you won't be feeling that void okay never mind sha dery plays on both the left and right side but he fits on the first pairing so never mind I won't be bringing him to the team but we will find a defenseman that can fit on the third pairing actually you know what we're not going to change it up because although Jacob trouba is a 78 overall and he has seventh deep potential he's plus 15 so that means he's producing alongside farari they're doing their thing meanwhile these two guys right here they're doing absolutely nothing I mean to be fair it's a two-way defenseman and a defensive defenseman so I'm not expecting them to produce a lot offensively but plus two and plus one I'm expecting y'all to be a bit better than this we playing second pairing minutes but with that being said we're not going to make any trades here we're just going to rock with the team we have so far that's actually worked out for us pretty well so let's just go win a Stanley Cup this team's already won two in a row we might as well win three in a row while we're at it okay so a lot of things that happened this season make zero sense us finishing first in the entire league though I think we all understand that with one of the best offenses and best defenses in the entire league but what Austin Matthews did I would have never guessed this you just saw 135 points 70 goals 65 helpers Mitch Mar 128 points lovsky 97 Eckland 81 William naner took a massive step back only 7 six points this season but the way the team's performing I don't care how nander is performing because we're looking fantastic and Jeremy Swan I didn't think I would see these numbers again from you 47 wins six shs a 912 and a 266 bro is back in his prime at 33 years old and we all know what that means it means it's time for this team to complete the three Pat we got the Boston Bruins in the first round but the stick on the ice map Leafs don't lose to the Boston Bruins we just sweep this team every time I mean that's a lie we don't sweep this team every time but normally we beat them like seven times out of eight eight and it looks like this match up was one of those seven times a quick sweep over the Boston Bruins I told y all this was going to happen this is easy work for us so Toronto was locked in during the first round sweeping the Boston Bruins that was a nice warmup for us but now we have another Atlantic division team that's going to be the Buffalo Sabers so Buffalo's putting up a bigger fight than the Boston Bruins did but that's not much of a surprise we're in the second round here it's going to get more competitive game five is going to be a tough one for us we're going to be dropping that one 2 to one but I got no concerns here because I can guarantee the TR M Leafs are bouncing back oh God we didn't bounce back we lost two one we're out in the second round I'm not used to this I'm used to us winning Stanley Cups and nothing else but yeah here we are losing in the second round that's a tough one but you know what I guess things could have been worse because we did lose to the eventual Stanley Cup champions and the Buffalo Sabers they were a fantastic team ended up winning the Stanley Cup so the second round loss doesn't actually feel as bad I mean it still does because we were about to complete a three Pat we're going to be losing William neander we're going to be losing Jeremy Swan I mean Jeremy Swan might be coming back to the team Brant Clark you were incredible Austin Matthews based on the regular season you just had I'm expecting a bit more not going to lie now Jeremy swayan we let you down a 929 to 220 these were his numbers the past two postseasons he had a 909 never mind these are the regular season I'm just yapping last season an 891 and a 340 and the year before a 903 with a 298 he posted a 929 and a 220 and we couldn't perform in front of him I'm sick to my stomach we should have three repated we really should have won another Stanley Cup here but the main issue we have this time around the offense wasn't scoring that's never been a problem for us until now so we're going to be making a trade with the Detroit Red Wings here because I want to drop to the 39th overall pick and by doing that I also want to be picking up the 140 First hopefully Detroit accepts this deal that was easier than I thought so we got the 39th overall pick but I do want another pick in this draft I mean I have picks of my own but there's two specific prospects I want to draft and the reason I trade for the 39th overall pick is cu I want to draft this guy right here because there's a good chance he has medium lead potential and I would love to add him to our team here unfortunately he's going to have top four yeah that sucks that really sucks but hey I'll take a medium top four potential defenseman the other Prospect I want to get is around the 50th overall range so I'll trade a second and a fifth and the second's going to be the 60th overall as long as we can get this pick I really don't care you know what how about I give you the 1401 there you go the 141st along with the 60th for the 48th I feel like that's a pretty fair deal all right we're getting the pick we wanted and the reason we trade for the 50th overall is so I can secure this medium Le potential goal tender and I guess we're not done there because with the 92nd overall pick another medium Le potential goal tender so I guess we didn't need to pick up that one earlier but hey I'll still pick up these guys cuz they're going to have trade value and to finish this draft off we're going to be getting another great Prospect here he's going to be a 54 overall low Elite potential sniper I don't know why I had to mention he was a 54 overall but I just felt like it so we had four picks in the draft here and I would say that this was a pretty good draft for us so it's definitely a sad day William neander thank you for all the incredible years you had in Toronto but it's time for us to part ways at 36 years old you're just not part of the timeline anymore but I will bring back Minon to a 2-year deal at 1.7 million that's not bad the other guy we could bring back here is Jeremy Swan 88 overall he's 33 years old but I don't want to give him a three-year deal till he's 36 he's going to be declining too quick so I think we're going to be walking away from Jeremy Swan as well we have about $28 million to work with so we're definitely going to be able to bring in some Superstars also I don't think Boyer is going to be coming back to the team because bro wants $7 million I'm not doing that that's wild so of course we have 28 million to work with but we do have to go some extensions here and Mitch Marner I'm not 100% sure if I want to bring you back to the team you play some big minutes here I'm definitely not giving you $1 million but at 35 years old your time is coming to an end with this team as well so Mitch I might be train you here I'm just going to keep it a thousand now I'm going to be completely honest while I'm looking at this team right now Austin Matthews he's 34 years old and 93 overall of course he's been an incredibly crucial part to this team Mitch Marner he's 35 years old I think it's time for a bit of a Changing of the Guard because Austin Matthews I have him under contract till he's 38 years old obviously he's not going to be the same player at 38 years old but I think it's time to change things up a bit Matthews I'm going to be trading you as well you've dropped from franchise potential to Elite potential we're going to go through some big changes here you know what I think it was only a matter of time because we're in year number eight of the rebuild we can't hold on to the same core forever I'm also not going to lie we've won five Stanley Cups with our current coach from season number one we've kept the same guy around we've been able to win five Stanley Cups but if we're changing the core up here we might have to change the coach because ideally I want to trade Austin Matthews for one of these rfas right here and we can get them on a great contract like this man right here he's 22 years old and 88 overall he wants 4 years at 9.7 million I could definitely work with that at 21 years old so here's the plan I'm going to pick up a couple picks from the Buffalo Sabers it's going to be two first rounders and a second rounder for Mitch Marner and then after I make this deal we're going to be flipping these draft picks so I'm going to send this package over to the Buffalo Sabers they're going to be saying yes that's step one of the plan so now that we've acquired those two first round picks from Buffalo I'm going to offer them over to the Tampa Bay Lightning but we're actually going to do a first and a second rounder because I think that actually might be enough for the guy we're trying to acquire here here Tampa is going to say no to this deal but what if I throw you another second rounder a first and 2 seconds for Mallet I think this could be a great deal for us there we go we got Mallet on the team now if I'm going to be Trading Austin Matthews away I want to make sure I can get as many assets as possible so we're getting a medium leite potential player two first rounders just kidding it's three first rounders and Roger McQueen all of this for Austin Matthews I'm actually 99% sure odd was going to be accepting this deal of course they are we probably could have gotten more somehow but you know what I'm really happy with the package we got I know for a fact we could have gotten way more if I went to a different team but you know what I'm getting all the players I want here and we're getting three first round picks those could be pretty valuable you never know I might just flip those for some more players and the steart extension is going to be working out great for us I mean it's not really an extension because he is an RFA but 10 million per year for the next 8 years that's a pretty solid contract for a 21-year-old who's an 88 overall Roger McQueen on the other hand we're going to be waiting a little bit because we do an 8-year contract he wants 16 million that's not happening Zachary buduk on the other hand what do you want for a contract I will definitely do this so we'll do 8.6 for the next 6 years that's a pretty fair deal that will pay you till you're 35 years old and barring how the team's performing at that point we might keep you on the team but we might trade you if we have to so we've been acquiring a lot of rfas here and that means we got to pay all these dudes we're giving Mallet 8 years at $7 million I think that's going to be a pretty fair contract for him also I just gave out two other extensions I think I had the recording paused I gave Matthew n an extension I also gave Wyatt Johnson an extension W Johnson's getting paid pretty close to what he is right now I think I did 3.7 for the next three and Matthew ni is like 3.1 for the next three so I feel like this team also needs to pick up another defenseman en Ross could be the guy for us he's an 86 overall a good two-way Defender I'm not really sure which lines he's going to be playing on yet but I know he's going to help the team a lot and I feel like Toronto's first round pick for this season is going to be valuable enough to get the deal done I don't think we're going to be that bad of a team for the amount of trade value our pick has no we're not going to be this bad of a team like worse than Ottawa and worse than Buffalo we're going to be a playoff team for sure so basically I'm trading like the 16th 17th overall pick pick away and we're going to be getting a mediumly Potential Prospect I really thought a third rounder would be enough to be the Difference Maker but hey I know for a fact we got some good goenda value I don't know which guy I'm trading away okay this man also dropped to medium starter potential maybe I should do that over picking up a defenseman here but hey if the defense isn't good in front of the goenda Boer while we're at it because we're not going to be bringing this man back to the team he wants $6 million so McNeely you're the a steal here but we just got one of the best in the entire game and mcne bro only wants like $5 million so with mcne we'll give him an extension here we'll do 5.4 for the next 5 years I think that's a great deal for him he's an 85 overall only 23 years old he's going to continue to get better he might even develop into an 888 89 overall go tender you just never know also in free agency I'm going to sign Bo Aki here 900k for the next 2 years you might be wondering why I'm signing a 79 overall if I want an 80 overall they're $2 million and basically anything higher than that's like5 million so yeah two overalls makes that much of a difference also I completely forgot we have to give an extension to enros here so we'll do six also I completely forgot we have to give an extension to en Ross and we'll do 6.5 for the next six honestly I can't remember who's on this team who we've traded away what's left there was a lot of moving pieces here during the off season so I think the roster at the beginning of the season is going to be a massive surprise to us so through all the changes during the season here we're actually looking better than I expected well dukes lovsky and Stewart are going to be the top guys here they're going to have McQueen Eckland and whatever this guy's name is I'll eventually learn it by the end of the rebuild but right now I don't know what it is defensively we're actually pretty good here Sam Dickinson brt Clark Peterson enros Morrison Aki definitely not the worst defense we've seen today that's for sure and to finish it all off we have a new goenda it's going to be Philip lamb and mcne mcne is going to be the starter for US 23 years old and 85 overall lamb he's a 26-year-old 82 overall backup goldendent guy for us I would not be overly surprised if we finish top five in the entire league I also wouldn't be surprised if we were a complete disappointment and finish bottom 10 this season's going to be a massive risk for the team you know what I think we made some smart moves now I had a lot of questions about this tone Maple Leafs team heading into the season but first in the entire league with a 426 and3 record we're still one of the best offenses and we still have the best defense the fact that we were able to maintain this after losing Mitch Marner William neander and Austin Matthews I never would have expected that and Jeremy Swan's gone no this is actually incredible and it looks like we got some big B time performers on our team Stuart McQueen eckan sovi some of the usual suspects except for these top two guys there were some new additions here and the gold tending numbers I got to look at what McNeil's up to 29 wins a 911 sa percentage and a 271 while lamb backing him up with these type of numbers absolutely spectacular but there's also one other thing we need to look at that's the Ottawa senters and the Buffalo Sabers because we own both of their picks and things are looking absolutely fantastic right now the Buffalo Sabers 26th in the entire league so that's going to be a good pick and OT was bottom three in the entire league did I say top six or did I say 26th I don't know I'm yapping but Buffalo that's going to be an incredible pick and Ottawa a top three pick we're set for the future so you know what I've changed my mind no trades are being made here at the trade deadline our team's absolutely rolling we looking incredible how Evan buard got $16.8 million I have absolutely no clue like seriously bro secured the bag like multiple bags like 18 bags at the same time I respect it so it's safe to say we choked we choked Big Time second in the entire league a 49 26 and 7 record we had 43 wins at the trade deadline or 42 I don't really remember all I know is in the final couple games here we did not play well our offense was still pretty good the defense not too bad we're still one of the best teams in the entire league so I shouldn't really be that concerned the new look to all Maple Lea are going to be led by Philip Stewart here he's got 61 goals and 35 assists for 96 points Eckland he's got 95 Roger McQueen 91 here lovsky 78 bald du's got 75 we got got some old faces here we got some new but the one thing that doesn't change is the toron map Poli being at the top of the league and with McNeely putting up numbers like this 35 wins five shs a 905 and a 290 I have no question that this team can win a Stanley cop in saying that though what is McNeil's Poise because I actually never looked at that hopefully it's good it's a 75 75 should be good enough to win us a Stanley Cup also I completely forgot to look at the Buffalo Sabers what were they up to as well as the otwa centers cuz both of those teams sucked Buffalo 22nd in the entire league not what we'd like to see here Ottawa 2 six though that has the potential to be a very good pick so you know what I'll take it so we have our first postseason with the new roster the traum M belief taking on the New York Islanders but even though it's a new roster I'm expecting similar results so far the TR M leavs have had a tough series with the Islanders here we're tied two to2 so game five is going to be the deciding one I mean it's not technically deciding but it is going to give us a 3-2 lead in this series and that's going to allow us to close this out in game number six never mind we're off to game seven I hate going to game seven especially when it's the team you're cheering for if it's two other teams I couldn't care less like the Pittsburgh Penguins and Columbus Blue Jackets here they're going into seven games I don't care who wins there but I do care about the Tome map Leafs so here we go game seven we got to come up clutch here and Brent Clark starting us off here he's picking up the first goal of the game and in the second it's going to be scoreless so the third period is going to be deciding this one we're picking up two goals but the Islanders are also picking up two and that's perfectly fine with me because we're going to be taking this one 3 to2 show to this absolute Legend here for picking up the game-winning goal I'm going to learn his name before the beginning of next season so we moved on to the second round we have a familiar foe in this matchup Toronto taking on Montreal let's just finish this series up how we usually do with Toronto coming out on top similar to our match up against the Islanders this one's going back and forth the entire way we're split 2 to2 right now so game five is going to be a big one obviously the toron maple leaf is going to be taking that one 8 to3 and I don't want to go to another game seven and thankfully that's not happening a 6-2 victory sending us to the Conference Finals so we've reached another Conference Finals in the year 2033 who would have thought that the Tome Maple would be this dominant and I want to continue that dominance here let's beat Columbus and make it to the Stanley Cup Final for the sixth time in this video maybe seventh honestly I've lost track there's just something different about the Toronto mate beliefs a 3-1 series lead unfortunately we're not going to close it out in game number five you know what we'll just close it out in game number six here we're off to game seven and we're about to blow a 3-1 series lead nice but you know what I should stop doubting this team because when push comes to shove and they got to show up in game seven that's exactly what they do three goals in the first period another goal in the second and we're going to close it up with six goals in this game Toronto go off to the Stanley Cup Final and showed to Stuart two big goals in this game this man's a goal scoring machine now we've certainly been here before the Stanley Cup Final we already know what we have to do here we're taking on the Emon Oilers I believe we've already taken them on one time in this video maybe we haven't I don't know we've made to the Stanley Cup Final so many times I can't even remember who we've taken on that tells you how successful this rebuild has been so far so enough yapping let's get another Stanley Cup in all seriousness I can't get over how successful this rebuilds been like the toron maple Lea have just been a different breed we have a 3-1 series lead we'll close out in five games here never mind we're going to close it out in six games here I cannot afford going to another game seven we can't allow that to happen the Toronto Maple Leaves Stanley Cup champions once again a 5-2 victory in game number six at this point NHL teams need to hire me because ain't no way I turn the ton Maps into a dynasty not a onetime Stanley Cup champion not a two not a three not a four not a five I think we've won six Stanley Cups six Stanley Cups in 11 years absolutely incredible and Stuart 26 goals 26 games he's him but it's not just about Stewart eckland's here McQueen's here slovsky's here all those guys had 30 plus points and McNeely 16 wins one shout a 911 sa percentage and 288 goals against I guess it doesn't matter who's in net for this team as long as we have a competent goenda Stanley Cup and on top of that Stanley Cup High we also have two incredible draft picks here we're going to get the seventh overall and we're also going to begin the 11th overall and if we want to we can probably package both of those up and get the number one overall pick so if we have the chance at a franchise potential player you better believe I'm making that trade also I do want to mention in a crazy turn of events Mitch Marner has retired we didn't get to look at his career stats because I didn't think this man would be retiring but I guess he did so shout out to Mitch Marner a fantastic career like it honestly might be as simple as a seventh rounder and the 96th overall to move up two spots they're going to say no to this deal ball throw in a future fourth as well that should be more than enough to move up two spots in the draft here I'm actually very surprised they're saying no here so what if I give you the 120 eighth overall pick which is this season's fourth rounder is that going to make a difference they're going to say no I'll give you a future seventh as well but that's the most I'm willing to do here I'm moving up two spots but I have to give up all these assets but I think it's going to be worth it as long as we get the player we want okay so the guy I wanted to draft just went fourth overall so we have to pray that this man right here has medium Elite potential I'll take it a medium Elite potential defenseman 78 overall you know what we actually do need some defenseman on this team so maybe that's actually better than picking up a center so I think at the end of the day this actually worked out for us and we're also not done there because we do have the 11th overall pick and I'm going to go with this guy right here because he might have medium lead potential I highly doubt it medium top six that's still not a bad pick for the 11th overall and it looks like the good drafting is going to continue here because with the 160th overall we're going to be getting a low Elite potential offensive defenseman so we've already picked up two Elite potential players another great top six guy if we keep bringing in prospects like this then the future is incredibly bright then again as I've said a million times so far the future's now so we have one final pick in the draft here I don't think going to be securing anything amazing but you know what we'll take a shot on one of these guys if we can get low top six I'm not necessarily against that he's low top nine hey it could have been worse we could have got like a 70 potential or an AHL player so you know what it's not the end of the world now Roger McQueen I would love to bring you back to the team $ 11 million is a bit expensive but hey you're 26 years old you're a 90 overall you're one of the future faces of this team so we got to keep you around hopefully that's enough to keep you on the team you're going to be saying no but I think we just have to offer you some more money now I'm not going to mess around here 11 points 5 million that's 700k less than what you're wanting this should be more than enough I don't really want to give you 12 million hopefully this is enough all right we might have to do more it's either we do more we just give him less years 6 years actually could be the move though because then that will pay him till he's 32 years old if not we're paying him till he's 34 so you know what let's do $1 million for the next six seasons that's not necessarily the end of the world and we get to keep them around also Peterson you're getting traded because you want $6 million out an 81 overall and after some tough negotiation it looks like Roger McQueen's coming back to the team also I do want to mention I'm qualifying all these guys right here some of them are going to make a return to the team and some of them will be traded and when I say some of them are being traded Peterson's being traded bro wants $6 million are you out of your mind so now that we went through the resign phase and basically only brought back one important player we got to give up some extensions here and Mitten you continue to do fantastic things here on the third line so I want to see you continue to do that 1.1 for the next 2 years meanwhile with a guy like Boer I see the potential here 3.7 for the next 8 years I think he can develop until like an 88 overall player similar to sovi and at that price point you can't go wrong also Morrison it's not happening $7 million for an 83 overall you've lost your mind also lamb I'll do 1.2 for the next 2 years as a backup that's actually a good contract we have $10 million in cap space to work with right now and honestly we're going to take a chance with rolds here $4 million for this upcoming season I'm going to bank on him not having the greatest season in the world and then we're going to resign him next season for about $2 million so we are going to make one trade here and that's going to be Peterson sent over to the ERS for a fourth and a seventh rounder bro want $7 million so we might as well get rid of him also did I not just trade him why is he still available here did I accidentally trade somebody else I think I might have trade somebody else by accident no seriously did I not just trade this guy or am I absolutely bugging here I was 1,000% positive that I just accepted this trade what is going on okay I don't know what's going on I don't know if he's on the team I don't know if this game is glitching I couldn't tell you I'm so confused so the Leafs continue to do magical things here winning another Stanley cop of of course we have the entire core coming back top six incredible like usual the bottom six absolutely fantastic we're going to ignore all the centerman we have here you know what it just don't matter as long as we're winning who cares what position you're playing like if I have to I'll have a center play defense you know what we don't have to do that because we have en Ross Clark DEA Dickinson Morrison Aki absolutely phenomenal from top to bottom like dea I want him getting a lot of minuts this season that's why he's playing on the second line with Dickinson but they're getting a plus one boost here so I mean why not and then finish it all off of course we have our gold tender that's going to be mcneel and lamb mcne is coming off a Stanley Cup where he put up some incredible numbers I actually don't even remember what his numbers were I might be gassing this man way too much he might not have had that great of numbers a 911 and a 288 not the best in the world but they were enough to win us a Stanley Cup and we're going to do the exact same thing this season all right let's try this again Peterson can I ship you somewhere I don't really care which team you go to it just doesn't matter to me maybe Arizona actually we're going to do Dallas because then we can get a third rounder I accepted the deal okay there we go we can trade him now don't know why we couldn't have earlier but you know what it just don't matter so we're at the trade deadline here nothing's changed 43 15 and six best in the entire league offense is flying the defense is great it really doesn't matter who's on this team whether we have 70 overalls or 99 overalls we're going to be number one in the entire league Stewart he's got 50 goals here in 64 games what a great trade it was picking this man up McQueen 62 baluk got 61 points ekland 60 Lov is having a great year as well well the go tending here McNeely just keep doing your thing 32 wins shots a 908 and a 283 we're looking at repeating here that's the only thing on this team's mind and I think this actually could be the deal for us we do have cap space available here but not $12 million for Charlie maoy however if they retain 50% then we might be able to do something here we have a couple draff picks to work with I know we got some good prospects I completely forgot we have ottawa's pick they must be doing absolutely horrible right now based on the trade value of that pick so I'll take it I'll definitely trade Ton's first rounder for this season and the first rounder for next season if we can get Charlie mvoy here at 50% retained and I think that's the play and then we'll easily win a Stanley Cup so at 50% retain are we going to have enough money for Charlie mvoy here we are but I don't want to give up two first rounders if I don't have to maybe a first and a second would be enough so I'll try a first and second rounder over to the Boston Bruins they're going to be saying no here but we're pretty close we can get this done without two first round picks so we don't have very many young prospects here you know what I'll trade one away I'll throw in one of our right Wingers and then this should be enough to get charie maoy the deal is getting accepted our defense just saw a huge upgrade we secured an 88 overall for the second comping no one's going to have a better top four than us so by making this trade DEA is going to have to play some third line minutes for us at of 78 overall they're getting a minus two boost here but that's perfectly fine because look at the top four here Clark enros Dickinson McAvoy these top four guys are going to allow one goal every five games so even if the third pairing isn't the best in the world we'll still survive okay so this loss against the otwa senders annoys me quite a bit one because we own their first round pick and that means their first round pick's not going to be as valuable because they secured another two points here but if we had won this game that means we won 16 straight games we lost to Philly lost to Ottawa so we lost two games to Ottawa But after those two losses we would have won 16 straight games heading into the postseason so it's safe to say the trate police are pretty good right now and with 16 straight games of course first in the entire league 58 17 and seven the offense absolutely fantastic but Emon was actually a bit better they were over four goals a game but their defense couldn't even compete with ours 2.65 allowed like I said every four games our top four is only going to be allowing one goal the big time players are making big time plays here Stewart 62 goals 88 points McQueen 83 bual du's got 81 eckan 78 but Charlie maoy I'm kind of curious to see what you did since joined the team you're playing some second pairing minutes 13 points in 18 games and you were plus 13 I'll definitely take it and to finish it off mcne 43 wins five shs a 911 and a 275 pretty similar numbers to last season and I'm expecting the same result so let's jump right into the postseason here a place where the Tron map seem to perform very well I honestly never thought I would say those words in my entire life but here we are taking on the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round the first round is an absolute Breeze for this team also words I never thought would say in my life but hey things are different here because it's the stick on the ice Maple Leaves now I honestly thought it was going to be a pretty easy series for us after the first two games so here we are in game five and the series is tied 2 to2 we're down 3 to2 right now no way the TR mate believe going to be losing the first round after I hype them up like that we're winning 5 to three and that means we have game seven and this team always performs in game seven so here we go game seven we already know what's on the line here and the toron mate beliefs aren't going to fold even though we're down 53 heading into the third period I already know this team's going to bounce back because that's what they normally do oh my God we lost we actually lost for once 8 to five in game number seven we were not performing Stewart was though how many goals did this man pick up he picked up four goals our team scored five goals he picked up four of them Stuart you did everything you could the rest of the team just didn't show up in this game 8 to five no we really trade for Charlie mcfoy just to play seven games also Stuart you kind of sucked in the postseason not going to lie up until this game you had two goals in six games kind of expecting a bit more but hey you picked up four goals in game seven you stepped up when you had to the rest of the team just folded so although our team did not show up in the postseason here I'm not too concerned we have a bunch of fantastic players mcne an 880 and a 329 normally I would be concerned about these numbers you know what I think we'll step it up next season we're going to bounce back big time especially since we're probably going to get a top five pick to Ottawa by the way thanks for sucking so we might as well go ahead and simulate to the draft lottery here and see which pick we're going to be getting hopefully it's top five we're getting the fifth overall pick we're going to be securing a medium lead potential player here but if the player projected first overall does have franchise potential then I'll make a move barring that trade being reasonable or not also shout out to two legends in Conor McDavid and Sebastian AO both of these guys are going to be retiring here I probably should start taking a look at retired players I mean it definitely wouldn't hurt here we are going to be gting a medium Le potential player though so so you know what I'll definitely take that so with the fifth overall pick we're going to be selecting Nathan Silverthorn he's got medium lead potential I know he's eventually going to jump to the lineup for us maybe immediately bro already an 80 overall you know what that could be the move hav't playing the NHL immediately and the mediumly potential players aren't done there because we're going to be securing Davies with the 79th overall and he's a mediumly potential two-way forward and the Fantastic prospects are going to continue here Moro off a 51 overall who has low Elite potential he was a gem so there's a good chance that he can develop to a solid player for us maybe even a top six down the road so we definitely picked up a lot of good prospects in the draft here three guys with Elite potential two of them having medium lead potential and our fifth overall pick already being an 80 overall that's definitely going to help the cap situation here all right so you'll probably never see me do something like this again Morrison I'm actually going to be giving you a long-term contract I never thought I'd see the day where i'm giving an 84 overall 8 million you know what he's 24 years old he's got medium lead potential he could develop into something and I'm willing to take that risk however not at that price point though 6 years at $7 million I can work with that and then with rainolds I'll do 3.5 for the next two seasons once we have a better idea of what his progression is going to look like then we can make moves accordingly cuz if he turns into an 84 overall at the beginning of next season I can work with that but if he's going to be an 82 and drops to top nine potential then we might have to trade him also Morrison's being a bit of an L man's here and he didn't sign the contract so 7.25 that's literally the most I can do so if you don't accept this deal then you're not going to be coming back all right he's not rejoined the team here but I can qualify him as an RFA I'll clear up a bit of cap space and then we'll bring him back I don't know why Bros being an L man's like that so I'm going to basically offer the exact same contract over to Morrison but this time it's a 7-year deal at 7.25 I think there's actually a pretty good chance that this gets accepted the logic behind this gting accepted makes absolutely no sense but I think there is a chance also when it comes to sovi we're just going to ride out his contract for this season we're one of the top teams in the entire league I'm okay with losing him if we can win another Stanley Cup and just like that Morrison's going to be accepting the the contract I have absolutely no clue why he's accepting but we'll take it so I'm pretty sure I offered this exact same contract to him but less years and he said no but hey we figured out a way to get a deal done and now let's get ready for next season it's going to be the exact same team here but we're going to be hoping for a different result all right since we brought Morrison back to the team he's probably going to be playing some second pairing minutes for us so that means we don't need Sam Dickinson to be playing on the third line and also getting paid 9.3 million that makes absolutely no sense so we're shipping him over to the Washington Capitals along with the first round pick and we're goingon to be picking up Brad Corson now I'm going to be hoping that this man can fit on the third defensive pairing and if he can then we're set for the future I'm also going to try to get Washington's first round pick here because that's incredibly valuable seen as they're going to be one of the worst teams in the entire league I don't know what it's going to take to get their first round pick but I really want to get that in the deal as well so hopefully a third round is going to be enough to make the difference here it probably isn't you know what I'm not going to waste a lot of time here trying to get Washington's first I'm just going to trade for a second or something so we'll try this Sam Dickinson for Corson a third and fourth rounder I'm going to offer that over they're saying no I'll take the the fourth round out hopefully we can get a third and that's exactly what we're getting here so we're going to be clearing up a lot of money in this deal and now we just need to bring in one more defenseman so Aki was on the team last season but I didn't bring him back on an extension you know what now we're going to trade for him so it would have made a lot more sense to bring him back last year but I guess we didn't so you know what we're learning from mistakes here a third rounder one of our Fringe started go tenders and a sixth round pick is going to be sent over to Arizona we're getting the guy we need I guess the sixth rounder is not going to be enough so I'll do a fifth instead if a fifth doesn't work then we'll do a fourth I guess we're doing a fourth but you know what I don't want to mess around here a fifth and sixth rounder yeah we're giving a lot here for Aki but he's going to serve the purpose okay we're giving up way more than I was expecting a fifth a sixth and a seventh round pick and obviously the seventh rounder is the most valuable and that's what's getting the deal done so this is what the team's looking like it's going to be Roger McQueen Stuart sovi on the first line ekin baluk and then Silverthorn on the second Silverthorn is a rookie 18 years old 80 overall we want him gain some reps early on so I think putting him on the second line is definitely the move the bottom six here absolutely unreal the lowest overall being an 81 and the rest of these guys incredible we have an 88 overall centerman as our third line Center that's how you know we're really good we've been doing a fantastic job making trades managing the salary cap and this defense incredible as well 87 overall en raw brt Clark DEA Morrison coron Aki a bunch of studs here and you know who else is a stud mcne 85 overall he's been able to win us one Stanley Cup we have lamb back and M but we do have to remember we have one medium leite potential go tender in the system at 20 years old he's up to a 72 overall I could see him taking the range sooner than later in about 3 years he'll probably be our starting goendale is the man and corus although you don't have the greatest fit here on the third line 3.1 million for a 79 overall and these times is actually a pretty good deal inflation's crazy right now in the NHL so I like this move and that's actually not the only signing we're going to be doing here because lovy I changed my mind I want you returning to the team we'll do 8.5 for the next four years you've been such an important piece to to this team we've won a ton of Stanley Cups with you so I better keep you around for the next four years however if we do want to keep him around we got to make a trade now this trade in order to clear up some cap space is a bit of a risky one but it could be a highrisk high reward move Wyatt Johnson and a third round pick we're picking up zador from the Anaheim Ducks if he fits on the third pairing defense that's great but we're mainly doing this just so we can get the Caps to work but I'm also trying to get this first rounder from the Anaheim Ducks if we're able to secure this first rounder and for some reason Anaheim absolutely sucks and it turns into a top five draft pick then I'm not to complain I mean the odds of that happening are incredibly low cuz anaheim's a great team but if it does happen then that's a steal for us and taking a quick look at zadorov it's clear that he can't fail in the third line so now it's time to flip him somewhere else zadorov thank you for the great memories here you were absolutely Elite player for us one of the greatest of all time but now you're being sent over to the Islanders for a third and fifth rounder so with all those moves being completed time to simulate up to the trade deadline here be a 50 win team make one addition and then win a Stanley Cup plain and simple all right so we're a borderline 50- win team at the tra deadline first in the entire league 47 13 and 4 the offense flying well the defense kind of mid I'm not going to lie I was expecting the defense to be a bit better but when you're scoring 4.06 goals per game it's okay if you allow a couple goals like usual we're going to have scoring from top to bottom here no issues with this team whatsoever while the goal tending situation mcney 33 wins one shout an 897 and a 313 these aren't good but so far Lamb's been perfect 140 and0 and 916 to 256 if we get to the end of the season and he still has yet to lose a game he's our starter for the postseason I'm actually really contemplating making him our starter right now to be 140 and zero I don't care if you're playing the worst teams in the entire league that's still impressive so we do have a lot of cap space here we could make one move at the trade deadline I'm not sure what that move is going to be maybe improving the defense a little bit but even that I think it's actually pretty good the forward core is great what can we actually do here to improve the team I have no clue so I think we will make one trade it's going to be a first and second round or over to the St Louis Blues we're going to pick up Neen an 86 overall defensive defenseman he's definitely going to be helping the team here he can't make us worse surprisingly this isn't going to be enough but we just need to add a seventh rounder so here you go a seventh round from the TR mate beliefs and this deal is getting accepted so by making this deal this is what the defensive core is going to be looking like enros Clark DEA Negan Morrison Aki and then we send corus to the bench but that's perfectly fine coron he's going to play next season because Negan is not going to be coming back I'm assuming bro want's probably about $13 million now I might as well just check out what negan's looking for when it comes to money I'm assuming it's a lot he wants 8.6 million that's actually not the worst in the world okay is there a way we would be able to clear up $8 million for next season yes there is we trade Morrison and then we bring back Negrin I think that's actually the move okay so Negrin might be coming back next season I also do want to bring back Aki so I'm going to give him an extension here 2.5 for the next two years he's an important piece to our third pairing he also has a pretty good line fit there and that's hard to come by ah yes to Bo Aki from the Arizona Coyotes on accepting this contract extension with the ton mate beliefs absolute Legend he's playing for two teams at the same time so we already know that Toronto is going to be at the top of the league some things never changed 59 18 and five an amazing offense and a great defense that pickup for nrin definitely made the difference eklund's going to be leading the way here he's got 89 points Stewart 83 McQueen 82 also Stewart picked up 50 goals so shout him for having another fantastic season McNeil is doing his usual things in between the pipes 43 wins two shouts and 901 to 296 well lamb you had a chance of being the start for the postseason a 161 in1 record one shout a 914 to 259 I said you'd be the starter if you went perfect for the rest of the year unfortunately you lost two games so we got to go with mcne so let's get ready for another deep post season run here we got the toron maple Lees taking on the New York Rangers let's just get this over with quick and add another Stanley Cup to the trophy case all right we're not losing in the first round here we were a borderline 60- win team if we're going to lose it's not going to be in the first round it's going to be in the Stanley Cup Final luckily it looks like this team's turned it around winning back toback games here and we're off to the second round we had a bit of a scare in the first round here but we're going to find a way to move on now we're in the second round we got the Montreal Canadians to take on so it looks like after that scare in the first round this team's locked in we're going to sweep the Montreal Canadians meaning we won six straight games and this team's not looking to lose anymore so we're on a six game winning streak right now we're the best team in the entire NHL there's not a team here that can stop us however the Columbus Blue Jackets they are coming off winning a Stanley Cup last season so they're ready to compete with the best in the league we better watch out for these boys okay hold on we lost game three 9-2 how did we lose game 3 9-2 we're down 3-1 this series we're not winning we lost one game 9 to2 there's no way we're bouncing back from that psych we're off to game seven we won two straight games we were down 3-1 in the series and now we're about to make this comeback I should never doubt the stick on the ice map Lees so here we go the game that matters the most game seven this one's going to send us to the Stanley Cup Final we're flying in the first period picking up the first two goals of the game we would be able to pick up a short-handed goal but Columbus is responding with two of their own we're entering the third period it's a one goal game trone needs to close it down but unfortunately they're not they're going to be allowing a goal with a minute left in the period we got overtime here and this one's going to settle it we're losing all right great work team we allowed four unanswered goals to lose in game seven that didn't just happen so after we fell to the Columbus Blue Jackets in game seven they're going to go on to win their second straight Stanley cop and who' they beat the anti ducks and guess who has anaheim's first round pick we do so our pick's not going to be that valuable the anine Ducks aren't going to have a valuable pick and neither are the Ottawa senders however if we package all three of those picks up we might be able to get a top five pick you just never know also I finally remember to check on some of the retired players and William nean is going to be packing it up here 1,400 points 545 goals 861 helpers shout out to Willi on an incredible career so as I said earlier I wanted to get rid of Morrison's contract we can bring back Negan so it's going to be Morrison the 18th overall pick sent over to the Florida Panthers and we're going to try to get the third overall unfortunately they're going to be saying no to that but if I throw in the Anaheim Ducks pick which is 31st overall I think that might be enough to get this deal done they're going to be saying no here but you know what I feel like we're pretty close in value so we're going to keep on trying since the Florida Panthers didn't want Morrison I'm going to send him over to the LA Kings we're going to get the 28th overall and the 60th hopefully we can get both of those things unfortunately we're not going to be able to so I'm going to have to add something else into the deal maybe a third round pick the 83rd overall I think that should be enough to get this deal done so we're going to be getting both of those draft picks now we got to flip them over to Florida so hopefully these three first round picks are going to be enough for us to jump to the third overall pick I'm also going to be throwing a prospect in this deal I'm offering this over to the Florida Panthers but unfortunately they're going to be saying no so you know what we're going to try this instead we're not going to trade for the pick but we're actually going to trade for the player the 18th overall and 28th overall they're going to be saying no to that what if I do all three first rounders if we can get this deal done for the player and not the pick then that's going to be incredibly dumb okay we probably could have got a second rounder back in exchange we got the guy we wanted but even still you wouldn't trade the pick but you'll trade the player make it Mak sense so although we're not making any first round selections that doesn't mean we're not getting any good prospects but the 94th overall we got ourselves a medium lead potential goal tender so the reason we trade Morrison away is we can bring back Negan and of course that's exactly what I'm going to be doing here we're going to do 8.3 for the next 5 years he's playing some big minutes for us in 87 overall he's one of the best defenseman on the team so we got to keep him here so we have a couple players on the expiring contracts I'm going to have to make some difficult decisions rainolds he's probably not coming back unless he wants less than 3.5 million he's looking for four that's not going to happen we're going to be letting him walk but we're going to have him play out his contract because he's pretty good for the fourth line Matthew n he's another guy that's probably not coming back next season but he plays big third line minutes we better keep him here Brent Clark this is going to be a tough one you're getting paid 6.2 million oh yeah you're not coming back not a chance you're coming back to the team we might even trade you away and hopefully bring in a good young defenseman on a cheap contract and then DEA you're not being loyal to the the soil here 19 years old he's an 80 overall maybe he can actually become our new number one defenseman on the right side hold on here because he has a good line fit here he's only 19 years old that actually might be the move DEA might be the play here so in saying all that DEA I'm going to give you a massive contract here 7.3 for the next 8 years and then brt Clark we're going to write out your contract for this season and then you'll be walking in free agency so we already know how things work here we're running it back with the exact same team we're just hoping for a different result here hopefully not losing game seven of the conference finals the forward core is absolutely incredible here the defense absolutely spectacular you know what we're changing up the adjectives and McNeely he's going next Factor this time around he's an 86 overall High starter potential it's time for us to get back to what the TR map lefs do best and that's win Stanley Cups or sorry did I say the trome Maple Leafs they're known for losing in the first round the stick on the ice Maple Leafs they're known for winning Stanley Cups so we're chilling like usual here first in the entire league although the offense is taking a slight step back the defense is even better only allowing two 2.63 goals per game the years we win Stanley Cups our defense is what really shows out so now that the defense is back and running at full cylinders I think we'll be all right so it's very noticeable that our scoring has dropped this season McQueen's 69 points Stewart's 66 but he has 43 goals at the 62 game Mark Eckland only has 55 here bual du's got 55 our scoring is definitely not as good as it normally is however our go tending is certainly better 36 wins five shots a 911 and a 268 from McNeely he's proving that he's one of the best in the entire league but man lamb has really been holding it down these past two seasons right now he's got a 924 and a 223 and last season a 914 and a 259 and the year before that a 226 and a 212 and the year before that a 929 and a 208 do we play this man in the post season because the regular season he has been him yeah he's been playing the backup role and has been playing the best teams in the world but even still these numbers I'm starting to think he actually is the guy for us although he's only an 82 overall with starter potential the numbers say otherwise but with all that Yapp Ando the way here I don't think we're actually going to make any moves here we don't have a ton of assets to work with and I really like the team right now we're 49 14 and three let's not screw anything up let's just simulate to the end of the season and get ready for another Stanley Cup run so our borderline 60- win team once again we're finishing with 58 wins here the team's looking great from top to bottom you already know what the drill is we didn't have anyone picking up 100 points this season or even 90 McQueen's lean the way he's got 86 points here I really don't care about the scoring I'm more interested in the go tending mcne 46 wins six shots a 909 to 269 these numbers are certainly better than last season or I think they are a 909 to 269 yeah these are way better now it's time for the staning cup run that this team goes on every single year we're always one of the best you already know we're going to be making a Deep Run and it's going to be starting off with a match up against the New York Rangers similar to last postseason we're splitting the series with the New York Rangers through the first four games but of course we're going to take the lead in game number five and we're going to close it out in game number six literally the exact same as last time or maybe I spoke too soon we're off to game seven here whatever y'all do do not lose in the first round so here we go game seven to get out of the first round I'm not concerned whatsoever I already know we're going to be holding it down here Stewart's picking up the lone goal of the game with 3 minutes left here and we're off to the second round no but this was way too close so I'm going to make predictions for the rest of this postseason we're going to take down the Boston Bruins in five games we're going to match up against the Columbus Blue Jackets in the Conference Finals we're going to win in six games and then we'll see Minnesota in the Stanley Cup Final and then when we match up against Minnesota that's going to be a five game series as well so I guess we won't be taking Boston down in five games because so far we split the series two games a piece game five is going to be a tough one for us because we're going to be dropping at 5 to2 we better not lose here a massive 73 Victory and we're off to game seven okay so don't lose in seven games here boys because if we win that means we match up against the Columbus Blue Jackets in the Conference Finals the team that I predicted that we take on we're tied through two periods so the third period is going to be the deciding one and it looks like we're going to be coming out on top here picking up four big goals in the third period of course steuart's picking up two of them this man always shows up in the big games so far things are going according to plan the Tron Maple is taking on the Columbus Blue Jackets Edington Oilers taking on the Minnesota Wild I might not be right about the amount of games it's going to take each series but so far it looks like my prediction could end up being true so unfortunately it doesn't look like we're taking down Columbus in six games it's actually going to be in five games we're dominating them 9-2 after losing game four 9 to three that's a big bounce back performance from our team and if Minnesota wins the next matchup then we're taking them on the Stanley Cup Final so everything was going according to plan until the Minnesota Wild Blue with 3-1 series lead to the Emington Oilers so now we have an all Canadian matchup the Toronto mate Le's taking on the Edmonton Oilers I believe these two teams have matched up in the Stanley Cup Final before and we already know it went Toronto's way so hopefully that can happen again in this matchup so with a win here I believe this would be our seventh Stanley Cup of the video it's time for Toronto to lock in here but unfortunately things are not going our way we're down 3-1 in the series we got to make a big comeback here and it's got to start in game number five never mind we're losing that one 6 to2 that is tough I can guarantee you if Minnesota doesn't blow that 3-1 series lead then we're beating them in the Stanley Cup Final so this Stanley Cup loss it's not on the TR M beliefs it's actually on the Minnesota Wild they're the team that sold us now this was a tough loss for us because we're going to be losing a couple pieces brt Clark he's not going to be returning to the team Matthew n he's not going to be coming back McNeely what' your numbers look like in the postseason 13 wins three shouts a 907 and a 284 I honestly think these numbers are really skewed here because if you look at our match up against the m Oilers we did not perform in those five games we played against them so his goals against and save percentage was certainly better heading into this final matchup but game five we allowed six goals game four we're allowing five game three we allowed four and then in game one we allowed five again this team was playing zero defense in the Stanley Cup Final the Conference Finals on the other hand barring this one game where we allowed nine goals we were fantastic defensively so after losing in the playoffs due to some bad defense in the final round we have to improve the defense here so we're going to be selecting a low Le potential defensive defenseman we're not done there though because you just never know when you're going to need a medium Le potential goenda that Medium Elite potential looks we're going to be getting another low Elite potential defenseman here but this one's going to be an offensive defenseman so it was a pretty good draft for us we didn't make too many selections here but we are walking away with three Elite potential players so when it comes to the resign phase we're not going to be bringing anyone back here Clark's going to be leaving Matthew n is going to be leaving he's the last remaining piece from our original Toronto Maple Leaves team it's been a long ride so far we're also going to be letting lamb walk here because he wants like $3 million to be the backup goenda what sometimes you got to make some changes Zachary baluk I think there's a good chance that he gets traded here he's aging out here I think he's close to 32 years old he's not going to have too many good years left in him so we better trade him while his trade values adds highest so after not bringing anyone back during the resign phase Silverthorn we got to bring you back but I don't just want to do a three-year deal I want to lock you down for the next eight so how does 8 and 1/2 for the next 8 years sound I think that's a great deal for you because you're getting locked down long term and it's a great deal for this team because that's going to turn out to be an incredible contract also when it comes to Bo Aki we're going to keep on bringing this man back as long as he's above a 75 overall because he fits on the third pairing that's so difficult to find I don't care what your overall is if you have a decent enough fit here we're bringing you back and we're not done with extensions there zenana I'm giving you 2 years at 1.025 million you're 78 overall I'm expecting in the next two seasons you're going to be our starting goendale although you've done great things for this franchise you're only an 85 overall and I feel like zenata can definitely get above that maybe even an 87 you never know he might be able to develop into a 90 he's only 22 years old right now and the sky's the limit for this man also mcne I don't want to give you $8 million just being completely honest so I mentioned this I think at the end of last season Zachary baluk I'd love to keep you around here but you're 33 years old and I think your decline is right around the corner so we better trade you while you have pretty high trade value you I'm going to be sending you over to the LA Kings we're picking up rub brck he's 5 years younger at 28 years old and he's a good sniper that can play on the second line he's going to be playing with eckan and he's going to be playing with Silverthorn Silverthorn is also a two-way forward so we don't really need buduk anymore I'm also going to try to get the first rounder from LA because you never know if this team completely falls apart in two years this is going to have a lot of trade value so I'm going to offer that over they're saying no you know what if we can't get that first rounder is not necessarily the end of the world but I would like to get it so maybe two third rounders would be enough in order to get LA's first round rounder I'm going to ship this package over we're going to see what they're saying they're saying yes not only did we get rub Brock but we also got a very valuable first round pick well it has the potential to be very valuable all right so for a guy like Blackburn I am willing to give up quite a bit in order to get him he's Nat overall that has Elite potential and you might be wondering why I'm willing to give up so much he fits in the fourth line that's where he's going to be playing but we can do an 8-year contract with this man at like 2.5 million we're in the year 2036 we know what the inflation's been like in this game so if I can get an 80 overall for 2.5 million yeah we're getting it done so I'm going to do a prospect in the first rounder over to the Boston Bruins I doubt this is going to be enough of course it isn't we can throw a couple more draft picks in you know what we actually have a couple goendale because they got trade value I'm going to ship this over to Boston and we got the deal done just like that so let's get this extension done with Blackburn and we're going to be doing 2.4 for the next 8 years I don't care what you develop into this is an incredible deal and now with the Chicago Blackhawks we're going to do a similar deal but this time for zov we're going to give up a prospect and a seventh round pick and then we're going to give him an 8-year extension and zov's eight-year extension is going to be a bit more expensive it's going to be 2.9 for the next eight years that one's really going to be breaking the bank for our team so we're just about to get ready for the beginning of the season but I do want to make one trade for vason in he's going to be playing some second pairing minutes for us right now the defense doesn't look the greatest in the world but you know what it's just because we can't find anyone to play on the right side that's really our only issue all the amazing young defenseman that we've brought in so far all of them play on the left side none of them play on the right side I don't know why that's the case but it is also accept this deal I'll give you a sixth rounder and said you know what here's a seventh rounder I'm going to offer this deal over and they're going to act like they got an absolute steal it's a sweet proposal on our end okay then you got a seventh rounder instead of somebody with top nine potential I think you would have been better off with the guy who had top nine potential so we made some changes over the off season but I still believe this team's in an incredible spot McQueen sovi Stewart Silverthorn eckan rub brck the bottom six I think this might be the best bottom six we've ever had I'm just going to keep it a stack the lowest overall is Blackburn and 80 but he has a great line fit here we got Boer and zof at his side like this team is Elite right now defensively yeah I could use some work the right side isn't the strongest in the world but DEA Negrin and enros they can definitely lead the way for us meanwhile we have two fantastic goenda 85 zenata is backing him up he's an 80 overall medium leite potential we're probably going to be giving him the Reigns next season 22 years old and he's an 80 overall he's definitely going going to develop into an absolute Beast as long as he gets an opportunity to become that guy because if we just keep him as the backup he'll never live up to his full potential so we're going to roll with this team right here we got disappointed in the Stanley Cup Final last season it's time to bounce back from that we got a chip on our shoulder and I can guarantee the stick on the ice Maple Leafs are making it back to the Stanley Cup Final now we certainly haven't been in this position for a while third in the entire league with a 391 19 and5 record although we do have the best offense here and we have the third best defense so the third best defense and the best offense get you third overall now real talk we should be number one in the league right now as we know Big Time Players make big time plays rub Brock you've been a fantastic addition to the team 60 points in 63 games 30 goals 30 helpers what a pickup that was Silver Thorn I'm expecting a bit more from you but you are only 20 years old so you still have tons of time to develop MC NE 36 wins three shs a 910 to 273 while zenata an 890 and a 326 this ain't it especially with a 3 8-1 record I want you to be the future team and right now you're not cooking so I would love to bring in a defenseman here to help the right side but we cannot get a good deal here moider $85 overall $10 million but don't worry because Adam Fox is available at 39 years old he's an 84 and we'll only have to pay him $15 million for this season $15 million are you bugging Adam jir I would bring you in but you're on too long of a deal four years we got to get somebody on a one-year deal here William Wallander 2 years at 8.5 we might be able to make that work we'll pick you up for this season that immediately trade you but no right now this is not the move we need somebody on a one-year deal maybe this guy right here who knows yeah so I can't find any right defenseman right now so I think we have to rock with the players we have right now that's not necessarily the end of the world because we are third overall I do want to mention though our start to the season was horrible we started like 1510 and five since that point we've definitely been the best team in the entire league so as long as we can keep the momentum going here we should finish first overall now I told yall this was going to happen first in the entire league 52 24 and six an offense that's completely flying and a defense that's best in the entire league we're better than Calgary's yeah we allowed the same amount of goals as them but our defense is just Superior so The Usual Suspects are leading the team here sh out to rub Brock 76 points in his Maple Leafs debut you love to see it mcney 46 wins three shots a 907 and a 281 I've seen better numbers from you I'm just going to keep it a thousand but if you step it up in the playoffs when it matters most then we're cool also I don't know why said rub Brock's debut his debut season I guess his first season with the team I don't know I'm bugging right now we're taking Philly on in the first round I don't think we've ever played Philly in a series so far in this video have we ever matched up against Philly I'm trying to think I don't think we have then again I've been recording this video for like 3 4 days now it's been a while so yeah I could not remember who's on this team at the beginning of the video like the current teron Maple Leafs team yeah I can't remember who that is because we've traded so many players we've had so many players go through the franchise by the end of this the only player I'm going to know who played for this team was Austin Matthews that's probably about it all right we have to watch this historic moment together okay I thought we were going to get swept in the first round I don't think we've ever been swept before but here we are down 3-1 in the first round are we about to spark an insane comeback no we're losing in five games the trate beliefs are eliminated just like that thank God we didn't make some crazy deadline acquisition to make this team better because we lost in the first round here if that costed me a a couple first round picks I would have been tight okay hold on I thought I locked these guys down to 8-year deals did I not give this man an 8-year deal I guess I didn't so Blackburn I got to give you an extension now I was like 100% positive that I gave you a long-term deal maybe something happened I just wasn't paying attention and I didn't so here's 3.4 for the next 8 years that's a bit more than what I was hoping for but you know what it's the way she goes and then zof this is also more than I was hoping for 3.9 for the next eight what happened to these extensions like seriously what happened so not only did the salary cap go up but we were able to give out those extensions so I really don't know what we're going to be doing here can we give an extension to this defenseman no we can't he wants 4.5 million for a second I thought he wanted 1.8 I was about to accept that deal immediately when it comes to Gold tending McNeely we're going to let you walk here I'm not giving you $8 million and I also can't afford you so yeah it's a tough situation I mean before I get ahead of myself Montreal want to Stanley Cup so I thought i' mentioned that and our player stats I don't really want to look at these you know what we will rub Brock five goals in five games I mean he performed the rest of the team on the other hand they all sucked like literally every single player mcne thankfully this is your last postseason with the team an 885 and a 404 that's what we're ending on hey you want us a couple Stanley Cups I can't really complain too much how many Stanley Cups did you win us I actually want to double check that you won us a few did you really only win one Stanley Cup with this team I guess we haven't won in the past couple years we made it to the Stanley Cup Final here but lost and then we lost in game seven here so we've really gone four straight years without a Stanley Cup we're in a crazy slump right now so normally I wouldn't gas up a pick like this but with the 28th overall we're gaining a medium top six potential forward with the 28th overall pick Bros already a 78 overall there is a very good chance that this man cracks the lineup next season I mean that's actually a liot we're going to send him back to Juniors for one more year he'll develop into an 81 and then make the roster but yeah shout out to him 78 overall in the draft at the 28th overall pick bro is going to develop into a stud I can guarantee it and the 28th overall pick is going to be the only good Prospect we get here because with 156th overall we're going to get a lowly potential playmaker so when it comes to the resign phase we're not going to be bringing anyone back here because we don't really need to and we also don't have the cap space McNeil is going to be walking here 85 overall bro wanus won Stanley Cup for the past couple years he's not been that guy now we do have some extensions to give out eckland's going to be one of them at 34 years old he's not coming back to the team I'm going to say that right now we're about to trade him he still has a ton of trade value for a 34y old so unfortunately we're going to have to ship him out en Ross what are you looking at for a contract extension this isn't too bad we can work with this now $9 million you're kind of bugging there I'm definitely not doing that but how about 8 million per year for the next six seasons I feel like that's a fair deal for you we'll keep you around till you're 33 years old and then we'll either trade you or let you walk one of the two now I'm not going to screw up a long-term deal this time around you have low Elite potential right now at 21 years old and you're already in 80 overall here's an 8-year deal at 2.7 million we'll find a place where you can fit in the lineup so as I said we're going to be training William Eckland here and I'm looking at a deal with the Carolina Hurricanes and this could be massive for us so eek's going to be shipped over we're going to bring in Gerard he's a good young player 87 overall at 20 years old the sky's the limit for this guy we're also going to be picking up two first round picks from the Carolina Hurricanes it's important to note the Carolina Hurricanes absolutely suck right now like they're one of the worst teams in the entire league and we're going to be getting their first round pick for the next two years I want to see if we can do the next three years if this deal is possible to get done that would be a massive steal for us I'm not surprised they're saying no we'll take out that one first first round pick but I do want to at least get two first rounders here that was way easier than I thought we're going to be such a good team for the final 5 years because we're going to be bringing in a ton of good rookies that are going to be like 80 overalls we're going to be paying them absolutely no money yeah we're set now the only issue we have is Gerard we need to give him $12.6 million we currently don't have 12.6 million however there's another trade I'm looking at and it's going to involve one of the guys that's been here since day three because he wasn't here for season number one I don't think he was here season number two I think he the team in season number three I don't know I'm yapping right now the guy I'm talking about is sovi so I do have a plan here but I don't know how many picks it's going to cost sovi a second and third rounder over to the win and pay Jets were picking up vet Bros Gan paid 16.7 million show it to his agent because his agent was holding it down there's no reason that man should have got that much money but it doesn't really matter because the Tron map leavs are making big moves I'm going to throw a medium Le Potential Prospect into this deal it was one of our go tenders we're getting this one done now it's time to head back over to Vegas so is it going to be possible for us to get a deal done like this I'm going to offer this over they're saying no we got to add a few more pieces into this deal I don't even recall what we put in before I think it was second round picks and now we don't have second round picks so I actually don't know what we're going to do here here's Toronto's 2039 first round pick maybe that will be enough they're going to be saying no that's perfectly fine with me let's keep throwing picks in I'll give you a fourth rounder as well that doesn't really have much value but you just never know what's going to be the Difference Maker they're going to say no to that you got to give me these two first round picks how about I take the player out of the deal and you just give me the two first rounders is that possible to get done they're still saying no to this deal what's it going to take let's not waste any more time here let's just get a deal done instead of getting two first rounders I'll get a first and a second that's really not going to be enough okay if we can't get a second rounder then there's no way this deal is going to be happening maybe this second rounder I mean that doesn't have as much value give me two third rounders instead I tried to get two first but somehow we're gain a first two third rounders and Miroslav here Miroslav is going to be great for the bottom six we can't even get a third round or are you kidding me are we really going to be giving up these two players for a bottom six piece and a first round pick granted that first round pick is going to have a lot of value actually I don't know if I want that first round pick for this season yes I do it really doesn't matter let's just get this deal done so we have three first round picks for the upcoming draft and none of them are for the TR map Leafs and that's actually pretty good because we're going to be an elite team so now that we've made that deal Gerard you can come back to the team because we're going to have the cap space for you we'll do 11.35 for the next couple years I feel like that's a good deal for you you're going to be playing some big top 6 minutes you're going to be producing like an absolute stud we better keep you here okay so hear me out we have a lot of cap space right now so what if I bring in this 91 overall goal tender he's one of the best in the entire league I'll do 11.5 for one season he'll be our goal tender for this season only unless we can bring him back next season on a really reasonable deal but I highly doubt it's going to happen that's going to give our backup one more year to develop I think this is a very smart move for us so Boer you are a great player for this team 26 years old you're on a very good contract of 3.7 million but right now we don't really have any forward lines you can play on so I'm going to package you up along two fourth round picks we're going to be getting a right defenseman because that's exactly what we're lacking right now I think we have a 70 overall playing on the right d yeah we got to change that up so we're going to be acquiring this 81 overall we'll keep him around for this season then we'll let him walk in free agency but in the process I wouldn't mind picking up Washington's first round pick you never know how valuable that's going to be and that first round is not for this season but for next season so every single season I guess the team and talk about how incredible they are we haven't won a Stanley Cup in I think Five Seasons now this team's garbage we need to turn it around and we got to win some Stanley Cups here the forward core is pretty good the defense is not too bad 85 86 and 86 on the left side while the right side we're not going to talk about except DEA because he's looking fantastic at an 86 overall the other two guys you know what they played their role on the team I can't really complain meanwhile in between the pipes we do have a 91 overall definitely do it but if you can't we'll let him walk and then we'll let the 85 overall take over so we have an 85 and a 91 as our goal tending tandem the forward and defensive core is looking absolutely incredible Toronto should be able to win a Stanley Cup but they also should have been able to win a Stanley Cup the past four years and here we are so I didn't even bother stopping at the trade deadline because this team was absolutely rolling and then things immediately fell off after the trade deadline we're still first here with a 51 24 and 7 record but our record should definitely be better than this an offense that's pretty good A defense that's pretty mid I don't know what else to say about the TR police right now like we're an incredibly good team steuart he's got 85 points here McQueen 84 Gerard 84 in his debut with the team and for go tending numbers I'm really curious with this bro you're a 91 overall and you had a 901 and a 292 you are a 91 overall and these are your numbers not going to lie there's no excuse for that but you can make it up to me real quick here just go 16 to0 in the postseason plain and simple I don't care if our offense completely falls apart and we only score one goal game just picked up 16 shutouts it's not that hard no real talk our goalie was listening to me in two of our first three games he picked up shutouts this man's locked in here and 114 in game five is wild 11 goals in a playoff game no we got to win a Stanley Cup we cannot lose the Stanley Cup after scoring 11 goals in a playoff game so we just won 114 I haven't got over that dominant performance Detroit y'all aren't ready for us we're about to sweep you guys real quick now it might not be a sweep but we're scoring a ton of goals in this series and we looking to pick up a few more here 52 in game number five and we're off to the Conference Finals we literally averaged five goals a game in this series we picked up 25 in five games we don't even need goal tending as long as this offense continues to produce well well well who would have thought the Carolina Hurricanes in the Conference Finals we were all expecting this team to suck but somehow they made it all the way to the Conference Finals we own their first round pick so that's not going to be too valuable but we're not losing to them we're not going to lose to the Carolina Hurricanes because they have one of us on their team team I don't exactly remember who we traded to Carolina but they have someone from our team on theirs now no in all seriousness I could not tell you who we traded to Carolina okay there is no reason that the Carolina Hurricanes should be competing with us right now we are clearly the superior team we're about to lose to the Carolina Hurricanes and they're going to win the Stanley Cup aren't they they're about to win the Stanley Cup we owned their first round pick I thought it was going to be incredibly valuable but Carolina's about to win the Stanley Cup aren't they ain't no way that just happened Carolina's first round pick had a ton of trade value because this game said no this team's going to suck Stuart didn't score a single goal in the Conference Finals he had 10 goals in 10 games entering the Conference Finals he picked up four points in six games he had 16 points in his first 10 games I said we would win a Stanley Cup if the offense continue to produce the Big Time Players sto making big time plays I don't even want to look at the stats of this team I can't believe that just happened that was the Toronto Maple Leafs playing right there not the stick on the ice Maple Leafs that was straight up the Toronto map beliefs also we're getting the ninth and 15th overall pick maybe if we package those up we can jump into the top five here who knows no this team's just really a disappointment right now I also do want to mention what are the odds that I click view retired players and Robert Thomas happens to be one of the retired players but he ended up in Chicago you can't stay loyal to the soil or something Robert how could you do that to me not the St Louis but how could you do that to me specifically stick on the ice you can't be an L man's like that Robert you got to be loyal to the soil and stay with st lose your entire career I won't accept anything less so we couldn't get the third overall maybe we can get the fourth overall I'm honestly oh okay that's actually very easy I was just going to keep on doing the same package over and over until we could move up so I couldn't get the third overall we would try the fourth if I couldn't get the fourth we would go for the fifth but no we got the fourth overall so we're going to be getting a really good Prospect here we're going to be going with Spike sweat or Spike sweet I don't really know what his name is all I know is he's going to be a good player for us and the fourth overall pick's not going to be the only good Prospect we get here because we're getting a low lead potential two-way Defender and this guy was also a gem so there's a good chance he develops into something special for us well maybe not something special but he could probably be a third or second pairing guy so when it comes to the resign phase we're not bringing anyone back a lot of these guys are just AHL players but more importantly we're not bringing back that 89 overall goenda good young guy in this system 85 overall zenata is going to be the guy for the rest of this rebuild all right so we have a lot of difficult decisions to make here Roger McQueen I'm not sure if we're going to be bringing him back to the team at 12 point . 1 million for only three seasons I'm not sure if that's the play we also have to trade this man away because I know for a fact he's going to want a bag 10.2 million we just can't do it a lot of changes are happening to the team this season we got to clear up some big cap space and we also have to make sure that we retain our goenda 24 years old what's he looking for when it comes to a long-term deal 13.5 is not happening I can do 2 years at 2.3 though we might be doing that so we'll start with 2 years at 2.2 million that'll bring you back for the next 2 years and we already have you under contract for this season but yeah $13 million I don't think that's the move right now we have our starting go tender but we do need a backup Dustin wolf you're coming in for one season at 1.7 million so I found this 78 overall we can pay him 1.9 for the next 3 years he's going to play on the third line defense for us no like these numbers are actually insane a 79 overall with top 6D potential $6.2 million that's wild so we have a guy like meos slav he plays some good third line minuts for us and I want to keep him around for the rest of the rebuild or majority of it at least 4.2 for the next 8 years at this point the rebuild $4 million isn't that bad for a third line guy all right so we're going to be shipping Roger McQueen out because we already have a new number one line center it's the guy we drafted fourth overall so McQueen sent over to the Nashville Predators the main piece we're getting in this deal is going to be Dixon medium Le potential 85 overall he was the fifth overall pick in 2037 we already know he's going to be a good player if he's an 85 overall at 19 years old so we're going to make this deal right here I'm going to have to throw a bit more in here maybe a second round or it really don't matter to me we just got to get this deal done done maybe a fourth rounder can be the difference I'm not too sure but I'll try a fourth rounder they're saying no let's not mess around here a second round pick for 240 we're really trading picks in the year 2040 who would have thought okay a second rounder is not going to be enough it's going to be a seventh rounder as well two picks for 240 Roger McQueen for Dixon and then some other Center the reason we got the other centerman is we need the contracts to work now Malachai Fox he's going to be a massive part of this rebuild in the next couple years we're signing him to an 8-year deal it's going to be probably around $2.9 million he's going to be one of our right defensemen the right side's going to be very weak for us but you know what I'm perfectly fine with that based on how strong the left side is and then I'll also do kachuck to an 8-year deal at 2.5 million and I'm going to hope he can develop into a good bottom six piece for us if he can play on the fourth line for this price it's not too bad so we have some new faces on the team this season Spike sweat he's an 81 overall Dixon he's also going to be on the first line at an 85 both of these guys have good line fits and they're incredibly young so I'm expecting them to develop into really good players for us of course they're going to be playing alongside Stewart the rest of the forward quarter here is absolutely incredible scoring is never an issue with this team it all comes down to defense but our defense we have four incredible players here all above an 86 overall well I shouldn't say above an 86 overall we do have two 78s on the right side we know that's perfectly fine because they're playing with an 88 overall and an 86 two incredible players to play alongside and then in goal for us we got zanata he's an 89 overall 24 years old the future golender for this team if he can live up to the hype he's got some X factors this season expectations are through the for this guy and all you have to do in your first season is win a Stanley Cup not a hard task we're in the midst of a drought right now we haven't won a Stanley Cup in a handful of years but we got to change things up here we got some good young talent in the system now some good young guys are developing here I think that might be the spark that we're looking for so it might seem like a bit of a surprise but Toronto is not doing quite as good this season sixth in the entire league with a 362 and5 record but it shouldn't really be a surprise we have an 81 overall in our top six we have an 85 overall in our top six some of the lowest overalls we've had in a long time however the offense still looks good and the defense I think this might be the best we've seen in a handful of years it's been a couple days since I recorded the last part of this so I couldn't really tell you what's happened in the past 5 years all I know is we know how to score goals our offense is incredible but our goal tending that's normally a bit weak and when it comes to Gold Tes I'd love to look at those numbers zata 31 wins four shots a 908 and a 284 I can live with that now when it comes to making moves at the trade deadline we already know what we got to do trade for a defenseman to make the right side a bit stronger plain and simple so I told you we need to pick up another defenseman so that's exactly what we're going to do here this is one of the guys we picked up in that nationville Predators deal I'm going to package him up along with a third rounder and we're going to be bringing in Graham to play on the right side defense that's going to be the lone move we make here let's get ready for the end of the season and get ready for another Stanley Cup run so we're going to throw Graham here on the second pairing although it doesn't have a good line fit nobody's ever had a good line fit on the second pairing since we've started this rebuild but hey we want a handful of Stanley Cuts without having a good line fit so why worry about it now so we certainly turned things around after the trade deadline we're first in the entire league with a 5123 and8 record never would have saw that one coming the offense is pretty solid here but the defensive but really stands out below three goals per game I think we're the only team below three goals per game I guess the S sharks are too but that doesn't matter we're not counting them we're the best defensive team in the league once again but that doesn't always translate to the postseason as we know so I don't recall when the last time something like this happened we didn't have a single player averaging a point a game on this team yeah we had some crazy depth scoring but nobody over a point a game well zanata 44 wins six shs and 913 to 265 as long as you can lock in in the postseason I could see us going on a deep onun here and it all starts right now because in the first round we're going to be matching up against the New York Islanders a team that's always a tough Foe for us I told y'all that the Islanders were going to be a tough Foe for us we're down 3-1 in the series we lost in five games what do I have to do to save this team we have so many great players on this team we have so much amazing talent ideally we're better next season because the young guys are going to continue to improve the main core is going to continue to be themselves I don't have to worry about them but what do I have to do to get this team over the top what do I have to do to win the Toronto Maple Leafs more Stanley Cups right now this a't it Carolina they're winning the Stanley Cup but I just remembered the Washington Capitals were not a good team this season we have their first round pick what's that going to be looking like the fourth overall we should have got the second we should have got the second overall pick but that dropped to four I can live with that we're going to be getting an incredible player once again we have some good young talent coming from the draft based on a lot of smart trades I've made I'm taking credit for all that all those amazing picks we've got and all those amazing prospects that's because of me I made those moves now hypothetically if the guy that's projected first overall has franchise potential we're going to have to make a move for him plain and simple okay we have absolutely no clue what he is however we could pick up somebody for the right side defense that's what we're doing as long as that man is available we're going to be drafting him and it looks like he is going to be available so Carill welcome to the team you might be making the jump to the NHL next season maybe not you're a 79 overall I might give you one season in juniors or in the AHL to develop a bit more after that though you're definitely making the jump to our team okay we're going to try a stupid deal like this the 28th overall over to the Calgary Flames for the 84th and a future first round pick we're going to have to throw some more Assets in this deal but I would love to make a trade like this does it make any sense whatsoever absolutely not but nothing about this game ever makes sense so if we can make stupid trades such as this then I'm completely down for it we just have to hope that Calgary sucks now and right after making that trade we're making another one we're dropping from the 302nd overall to the 4 second but of course I have a plan in mind and the reason we dropped down to the 42nd overall is so I can secure this lowly potential sniper he's a 65 overall gem we already know what those type of guys become and with that 84th overall pick we acquired a high Elite potential gold tender I have never drafted a gold tender with high leap potential before but we just got one with the 84th overall pick okay so I want to try something I've never done before I'm going to trade this sixth round pick for a fifth round pick we're going from 188 to 160 I have no clue how we're jumping up but now I want to see if I can flip this and somehow get a future fourth round pick if something stupid like that could happen I mean i' would be perfectly down for it but I don't think that's going to be happening no it's clearly not happening so we're just going to get a future fifth round pick I kind of want to see if I can turn that sixth rounder into a fifth the fifth into a fourth the fourth into a third and then somehow work my way up all the way to a first round pick clearly that's not going to be happening but you know what I thought I'd give it a shot so unfortunately it doesn't look like Graham's going to be coming back to the team cuz he wants $13 million we do not have $13 million we're also not going to bringing back this man who plays on the third line for us he want $13 million as well I'll bring back some of these guys that play in the AHL though because you know they help some of our prospects develop but the two guys at the top here that won $13 million not happening okay so there's a lot of negative things going on right now we have to give out extensions not a single player wants to play for this team right now I have no clue why that's the case but nobody wants to come back to the team how are we going to be able to afford everyone because they're about to start asking for some stupid contracts I have absolutely no clue $15 million we might be able to make that work I mean I'm not going to make $15 million work but I can do 13.5 or something we'll do 13.4 for the next 6 years unless we can keep you for the next eight no we're just going to do six years we're just going to do a six-year contract with Stewart here then we got to move on to the rest of these guys the next guy we're going to give a bag to is going to be Elan Nick here we're just going to do a bit over $12 million probably 12.3 for the next 7 years he's 22 years old he's going to keep on getting better so we got to make sure we keep him on this team I would love to keep Mallet on the team because he's been an incredible piece for the bottom six but I'm not paying somebody on the bottom six $13 million that just can't happen even someone like Negan he plays some gritty third pairing minutes but at $13 million I don't think that's the move coonin you're also probably going to get traded here I mean 8.7 is not bad then again it's 8.7 for the third line we're probably going to let you walk as well Corson you're going to walk Bo AI I think we're going to have to let you walk you're 34 years old you're eventually going to start getting worse so it's sad to say but I think you're going to have to leave the team here so we're going to be losing a lot of good pieces here but you know what one last Dan we have one last chance to win a Stanley Cup I mean that's a lie we're going to rebuild the team in a matter of like two seasons we have so many good young players in the system but we got to win at least one Stanley Cup with this core this core has not been successful for how good they are 85s and 86s across the board with a couple 90s they should have had way more success than zero Stanley Cups so we do need to bring in a backup goenda for the next couple years and then Kristoff could be that guy 1.4 for the next three he's an 81 overall 27 years old so it's not like he's going to be declining he's got exact starter potential I mean he fits the role why not bring him in so I've made a lot of good moves in this video but Dixon Michael down is the greatest one of all time Bros 20 years old a 90 overall with a superstar X Factor he's in year number two with this team I picked this guy up not expecting him to really be too much but here he is after his first season in the NHL he's already a 90 overall he's going to be the Difference Maker for this team he's going to be the guy that wins US the Stanley Cup the defense Usual Suspects here we brought in that young rookie well the goal tending here phenomenal 89 overall zenata we already know what this man can do I mean when it comes to the postseason he can't do anything cuz he folded you know what we're not going to worry about that he can dominate the regular season that's what we're going to do again this time but when the playoffs come around we got to be a different team we got to show up when it matters most and that starts right now standings don't matter to me record doesn't matter to me look at this defense 2.45 allowed the next closest the Pittsburgh Penguins and they're almost at three goals per game we're less than 2.5 we're here to play we're not messing around obviously our offense is fantastic that's absolutely no surprise here but the go tending numbers are something I have to look at where are zenata numbers looking like 34 wins six shs a 919 a 237 no we can't make any changes to the team we have to rock with this roster right here we can score goals we already know that but we can keep the puck out of the net and that's probably even more important with a we can't screw anything up we're running on all cylinders let's get to the end of the season so we're first in the entire league here but similar to where I said at the trade deadline none of this matters the defense is what matters here 2.5 allowed we're the only team below three we're the only team below three goals allowed per game that's phenomenal once you reach 20 40 offense doesn't matter anymore because every single team can score you know what every team can't do keep the puck out their own net and zata he's one of the best at doing that 45 wins eight shows 921 at 231 if this man wants 15 million I'm giving it to him whatever he wants when it comes to a contract he's getting it also ignore the fact that we're up 1 in the series I accidentally simulated one game but we're taking on the New Jersey Devils and in game number one we scored seven goals so we're scoring a ton of goals right now we're not really allowing too many so we might as well close this series out in five games here a 73 Victory similar to our first game where we scored seven we might not need good goal ending if we keep scoring like this so we dominated the first round round the New Jersey Devils couldn't even match up against us and the Detroit Red Wings they can't match up against us either I mean that's a complete lie they were a 50- win team this isn't going to be easy but then again the Detroit Red Wings haven't seen a team like us the stick on the ice map Leafs are built different right now all right so we smoked Detroit not only were we scoring goals but we were playing good defense what this team's known for all right so we're 8-1 in the postseason we're doing everything right right now let's continue that against the New York Rangers we do have to remember though the Rangers did take the Islanders down in five games and the Islanders were able to smoke us last season so we better be prepared New York's definitely been putting a fight up against us we've been exchanging games so far game five is going to be a massive one unfortunately we're dropping that one 3 to2 but I already know this team's going to lock in in game number six here we're going to win 6 to2 I'm calling it right now 5 to one's pretty close and we're off to game seven I don't really care how we win a win is a win so here we go game number seven the stick on the ice map Leafs are about to show out here we already know what they do never mind the Toronto Maple Leaf showed up and we allowed five goals in the second period great work team great work stick on the ice Maple Leafs great work stick on the ice Maple Leafs the Toronto Maple Leafs showed up in the second period but the stick on the ice Maple Leaf showed up for the rest of the game the first period third period and overtime that's when the stick on the ice Maple Leaf showed up and that second period that was the Toronto Maple Leaves so we're not going to really talk about what's happening right here we have the Seattle krak and I'm not going to mention their record but if we lose here we might be wrapping this video up I mean that's a Li I'm way too invested into this we're in year like 18 right now I'm not stopping till we get to year 25 so whatever y'all do You better lock in right now we got to win ourselves the Stanley Cup it was a sweep they were a 37- win team we're not losing to a 37 win team the stick on the ice Maple Leafs they're showing up in the year 2040 and we've got ourselves another Stanley Cup we went through a pretty long drought there but it's good to see we've turned things around but now that we've turned things around I want to bring back this entire core that's not going to be possible because we have a lot of guys to bring back here and we don't have a ton of money does anyone want to rejoin the team now doesn't look like it we're going to be losing these three guys right here actually we're going to be losing all these guys we're not going to have the money to bring them back I mean technically we do but I really want to give $13 million to a guy who's a 31 years old not ideally yeah so unfortunately we're going to be losing a lot of key pieces to the team but that just means we got to make some adjustments Stewart's an absolute dog plain and simple 30 points in 20 games 12 goals 18 assist you know who else is a dog Sonata I actually take that back these numbers aren't as good as I thought they would be an 899 and a 288 but who cares we want a Stanley Cup you can have a goals against of 455 and a save percentage of a 725 we want a Stanley Cup and that's all that matters after winning a Stanley Cup we're just going to keep on winning here with the 18th overall pick in the draft we're getting a lowly potential player he's a 64 overall and when you get these high overalls that have low Elite potential they usually actually develop into Elite potential players so you can basically say we did get an elite potential player here all right so we might be walking away with Elite potential players only I mean actually that's a lie because of the 32nd overall pick we got a medium top six but we just got an elite potential goenda pick guess what another medium Elite potential player this one's also going to be a goendale is going to be leaving the team negan's going to be leaving the team kisin inis Corson we're losing a lot of players that have played some big time minutes for us but you know what we want a Stanley Cup and that's the tax you have to pay you know what we want ourselves a Stanley Cup and sometimes that's the tax you have to pay also I would love to bring in this medium start potential goenda contract okay this might be the worst possible thing that could have happened our coach retired I think he was about 40 games shy from a th000 wins and he retired on us how could you do that I mean you're retiring on top because we did just win a Stanley Cup but you can't do that to me you can't retire right now the team's looking absolutely fantastic and then you going to do me dirty like that no that ain't right that's not right at all so obviously we have to bring Dixon back he's one of the most important pieces to this team we're doing 10.5 for the next four years if we do anything more than four years he's asking for like 15 million I mean that's actually alive because he only wants 12.5 here but once we get further down when it comes to years he's wanting a lot of money and 10.5 that's all I'm willing to do right now rub Brock we're probably not going to be bringing back next season so I think I'm just going to ride over this contract here he plays some big second line minutes sweat's another really important piece to the team so we want to bring him back we'll do 10.5 as well for the next four years however by doing both of these deals right here we got to clear up some cap space and the reason we got to clear up cap space we got to bring zanata back he's the best goenda him back 14.3 is wild I'm not going to lie I know I said I'll pay him whatever he wants but not 14.3 million so I don't remember if this is the same Corson or not I think it might be I said I wasn't going to bring them back but now we are 2.2 for the next 2 years I think this is a different Corson though I'm not 100% sure on that but I do believe this is a different one we we do have some money for this season so backer I'll do 6.5 for one year on a one-year contract this isn't too bad and then we're not going to sign Jeffrey but we're going to sign jaffray yeah Ricky jaffray that is a name shout out to all the jaffres out there so we lost our head coach over the off season and a ton of amazing piece to this team however we did see one Improvement there are players on this defense that have good line fits on the second pairing something we have never seen before en Ross a perfect pairing on the second line we've never seen this before we have never seen more than two defenseman have good line fits now we have four we have four defenseman we can rely on it's over it's over for the rest of the league we have good young defenseman here Sonata you're going to be coming back to this team I'm going to give you your contract during the next resign phase because I'm going to have to clear up money for you but I don't want to clear up money right now I want to win another Stanley Cup and then I'll clear up the money for you don't worry you're going to get your bag you're coming back to this team but all in due time so even with a new coach and losing all those pieces I simulated right to the end of the season because this team looked too good 58 16 and 8 we're first in the entire league of course our goals four per game the best in the entire league our defense 2.55 pretty close to last season I'm expecting a similar result then and similar to last season we don't really have any Superstar scorer no one picking up a ton of points here I mean we did have Stewart 84 but the depth scoring on this team absolutely incredible and the go tending numbers they're as good as usual zata 46 wins s shs of 950 at 248 we already know what you have to do you got to step up in the postseason once again we got the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round it's time for another Stanley Cup I don't recall how many Stanley Cups we've won by this point but we got to finish the video with at least 10 so the Carolina Hurricanes have been a good warm-up for us we're going to be taking them down in five games and we're off to the second round okay never mind we're taking them down in six games and we're off to the second round here this has been a good warm-up for us and we're going to finish it off with a sh out in game number six so Carolina actually put up a bigger fight than I expected I'm not even going to lie there they gave us a bit of trouble but you know what we don't have to worry about them anymore because we already got past them and now we need to get past the Florida Panthers similar to the Carolina Hurricanes Florida was able to steal one game away from us in the first four but unlike the hurricane series we're actually going to close this one out in five games a massive 4-1 Victory he is going to be sending us to the Conference Finals all right this is going to be an absolute Breeze the New Jersey Devils we beat the crap out of this team last postseason we're going to do it again here all right we got ourselves another 3-1 series lead and in game five we're going to close it out I guess not we're actually going to need game six for this series but I'm not too concerned never mind I take that all back we're playing like the Toronto Maple Leafs we got to play like the stick on the ice Maple Leafs we've put ourselves in positions like this before and we've always been able to bounce back and now we need to bounce back one more time three goals in the second period and just like that we're closing this one out five goals in game number seven here you'll love to see the big players making big time plays so it's the all Canadian matchup once again the Toronto Maple Leafs taking on the Edmonton Oilers I know for a fact we've taken on Edmonton a couple times in the Stanley Cup Final and I also know we' beat this team a couple times so let's beat them again do not fact check anything I just said there I'm pretty sure we've matched up against Edmonton do I know if we want to stand on the cup against this team absolutely not but you know what it's been a long rebuild so far so if you expect me to remember things from the season number one then you'd be wrong we're winning this series though five games and we're done just like that a 72 Victory the stick on the ice Maple Leafs just repeated like that and next season we go for the three peat before we get to the three repeat though we got to make sure we bring back our goal tender now the biggest thing about bringing back her goal tender here the salary cap how much is this jumping by hopefully it's a significant amount also show to Stewart 28 points here in 23 games 13 goals 15 assists he was absolutely locked in and Gerard he was another guy locked in 28 points as well dea had 28 isn't DEA a defensive defenseman never mind he's a two-way Defender for some reason I thought he was a defensive defenseman and picked up 28 points that would have been wild and gold tending numbers zata 16 wins Two Shots a 923 a 221 put up numbers like this again next season and the 3p is going to be a breeze so I know for a fact right now we do not have enough money to bring back zata you know what hopefully he wants an extension unfortunately he doesn't but what type of number are we going to be talking about here 11.1 million that's going to be really easy I know we have two guys in our team making about 3.5 million I'll trade both of them away and then we'll have enough money for sure all right so we already made it clear we got to bring back zata so that means we have to trade away these two guys here to clear up the cap space we're picking up Jennings but we're not going to be resigning them I just need to pick them up in order to make the contracts work we're also going to be getting the 77th overall pick here okay never mind maybe we aren't trading these guys I take that back because we're absolutely trading these guys away we're just going to have to use trade finder for it give me something around the 70th overall range that's exact what I want here you know what I'll take a future third and a seventh round pick that's not the end of the world and then after making that deal I can do the 85th overall pick but we might have to jump like three or four spots so I want to jump five spots here so it's going to be the 85th and the 224th or the 80th overall they think they're getting a steal of a deal here but they really aren't because ideally we're about to get a generational Talent here I mean the hope is we get a generational Talent this man right here medium franchise potential he's not going to have medium franchise but if you can have medium Elite then that's a massive move for us medium Elite right winger two-way forward I'll take it the rest of the draft here isn't really that good so we got to make some moves and we're going to be training for a future third round pick but we're not done there because I'm going to package the fifth and sixth rounder up and what's that going to get us never mind I forgot to include the sixth rounder but we are going to do that we're going to get a future third rounder from the Anaheim Ducks so we picked up a lot of future picks here and those are going to be some nice trade assets for us so we know zenata is going to be our man for the next8 years but hopefully we can do $10 million I feel like that's a fair contract for him but even if he doesn't accept this we do have room to work with I'm going to offer this over he's going to reject the offer now hold on cuz I didn't even think about this we have Stevenson here who's a 76 overall we could sign him to his rookie deal and then he might be able to be the guy for us in two seasons we wouldn't be that good this season however I actually really like this or do we bring him back on like a shorter term contract like we do 3 years or something that actually could be the move I think we're going to do 3 years at maybe 10.7 million and then once that contract's up Stevenson will take over highly potential 21 years old and he's already a 76 overall he'll get some reps in the AHL this season I think that's the smartest move for this team because zata he's 27 years old we'll have him till he's 30 and then once he's finished we'll bring in Stevenson and he'll be the for the rest of the rebuild I like the logic behind this move when it comes to the rest of the team we're probably going to be letting you walk unless you're an RFA and I can sign you to a two-way contract because some of these guys like him right here he wants a one-way D what am I talking about he's asking for a two-way contract I'm bugging but a guy like McGillis here he's going to want a one-way contract I don't really want to retain that salary I'm just going to be completely honest here so we're probably going to be letting him walk or I'll qualify him as an RFA and then we can trade him away actually that's going to be the move here so I want to keep Dalton around for the rest of the rebuild here so we're do doing eight years at 2.7 that's a pretty solid contract for a bottom six guy however one of our good young defenseman yeah we have an issue here he wants 12.4 and we have 3 million to work with and 2.8 of that's going to Dalton or 2.7 whatever I signed him for so we don't have money that is a big issue so I think the plan is we're going to ride out his contract for this season and then we're going to trade him away for another good young defenseman who's like an 82 overall we'll ride out his rookie contract and then trade him away and then we'll just keep doing that for the rest of the rebuild we're down to the final eight seasons or seven Seasons I don't know how many years we have left but we don't have too much time so we do got to bring in some players for the bottom six because our team is probably the weakest that's ever looked so we're going to be bringing in schaer and hopefully we can resign him to a very reasonable contract for the next couple years if not he just won't be on the team next season and then with our next move we're going to be bringing in Felino from the New York Rangers unfortunately it looks like a young player in a third rounder is not going to be enough here so I'll throw in a six as well and that should be more than enough to get this steal done I'm actually very surprised a third a sixth and a young player isn't enough so maybe a fifth rounder can be if we can't do it with the third and Fifth and I'll just throw in the seventh yeah we're going to be including a seventh rounder in this deal as well we got to bring Felino onto the team because right now our Center depth is absolutely abysmal a fifth a third a seventh and a young player really isn't enough here's a sixth rounder then if you want more than this you're bugging they're bugging straight up you know what we're desperate so I'm going to throw a couple more picks in here's a 2043 7th round pick this is more than enough for Felino honestly we probably shouldn't have given up that much but you know what we're desperate right now so it's clear our team looks very different right now the top six is definitely not as strong Dalton's going to be here at an 80 overall I mean we have five incredible players and they can definitely carry the way for us the bottom six it definitely took a massive step back here but I think we're still in a pretty good position especially with the defense like this 89 overall 87 86 86 the third pairing might be a bit weak here but with a top four like this you can't really complain we also have one of the best go Tenders in the entire game zanata 89 overall we've seen what this man's been able to do the past couple couple years we're definitely going to have to rely on him a bit more this season because the team's not as talented but hey he's proved that he's the best in the entire league so I have absolutely no issue with relying on him so although the team's a bit weaker we're still looking pretty solid here fourth in the entire league 3723 and four the offense has taken a step back and so is the defense we're definitely not the team we were last season but we already knew that coming in although the team's not as talented Stewart's definitely stepped up for US 67 points here in 64 games 35 goals and 32 assists meanwhile the go tending numbers Z I can't complain about this 28 wins three shots a 911 and a 260 no matter what happens I know I can rely on you now unfortunately I would love to make a trade here but we just have no cap space like plain and simple we don't really have too much to work with however if we could somehow trade for this man right here because he's only getting paid 3.3 million that could be the move for us we're going to have to try so I've been yapping but I guess the recording was paused I just traded for this man right here we gave up a first a second two third rounders and a mediumly potential Prospect he's going to be playing on the top six for us and he might be the missing piece for this season so this doesn't happen very often but we're outside the top three fourth overall with a 47 29 and6 record the offense is great the defense isn't too bad we just have to play like we know we can in the postseason we're one of the best teams in the entire league Steward's lean the way he's got 82 points in 82 games very rarely do we have a guy averaging a point a game so you got to appreciate it and zanata 35 wins five shots at 914 to 255 this man always steps it up in the postseason and I don't think our first round opponent's going to be ready for it and who's our first round opponent going to be well that's going to be the Washington Capitals let's warm up with them in the first round get by them in a quick sweep and then move on to the second we have a lot of Big Time playoff performers on this team so I'm not concerned all right boys you're done warming up it's time to lock in we've lost three straight games we're not losing in the first round here when we have a chance at three peating never mind I guess we are we shut them out in game number one won 6 nothing we showed our dominance and then this team didn't show up for the next four games absolute shame then again we got a face facts here we're not the team we used to be so I think we have to go through a mini rebuild for the final 6 years or seven years I do not know how many years are left but I know we don't have too much time left so Carolina's going to match up against the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup Final and you already know Vancouver is going to be losing because they never win in the Stanley Cup Final Carolina's taking it home in five games but in all seriousness why does it seem in every video when Vancouver makes it to the Stanley Cup Final they lose every single time Sonata your numbers a 929 and 220 yeah so we just didn't score goals because those numbers should win you with Stanley Cup plain and simple we got to rebuild the offensive core for this team we got to make a lot of move screws we have a lot of money tied up into a lot of top guys but you know what we're going to find a way to make it work so not only did we fall apart during the playoffs the draft was abysmal for us no Elite potential players not even a low Elite potential one I don't know when the last time that happened to us but it's been a minute on top of that we have no money available here we got to bring back some players we're going to have to rebuild this entire team we might be trading a ton of guys away but we got to rebuild this core here because right now things aren't right and it's going to be starting with our young defenseman here I know for a fact we can't bring him back we don't have the money so we're qualifying him as an RFA and then we're going to have to trade him away Felino more than likely we're going to have to trade you away as well cuz I don't know what it's going to be looking like oh hell no I'm not doing that an 8-year deal and you want $11 million that's not happening I would say we're only going to be bringing back maybe six players Next Year everyone else is going to be traded we have to do a mini rebuild to be prepared after the final 7 years 8 years I don't know why I keep telling you guys 7 years I have no clue how many years it is all I know is changes are about to be made all right so it's pretty clear that we're pretty cap tight right now we've known this for the past couple seasons and Stuart although you are one of our best players here you are 31 years old eventually you're going to start declining although I would love to keep you on the team the next couple years we just got to make some tough decisions so I'm sending you over to the Boston Bruins we're going to pick up bow measer he's got medium leag potential and we're also going to be picking up Simpson here another player with with medium lead potential I already know for a fact we're going to have to throw some draft picks in this deal and I don't really want to mess around here so I'm going to throw a first rounder in and we're going to get it accepted now Simpson I can't guarantee he's going to be coming back to the team it's going to be solely based on how much money he's asking for so we are going to have to bring back one important piece to the team and that's going to be Gerard it's going to be 13.5 million for the next seven years that's a pretty expensive contract for a guy that's playing second line minutes you know what I think that's the move that has to be made we got to keep him around on the team I'm definitely willing to bring back Felino on a one-year cont track will do one year at 3.2 million the reason I'm giving him more than what he's asking for is he technically wants two seasons but I'm only willing to do one right now with schaer we can definitely do a 7-year contract here at $3 million that's going to be a great contract for a guy that's playing some bottom six minutes for us I've also decided that I really want to bring back this Medi leite Potential Prospect I know I said I was going to trade him but sug if you're one of the best defenseman in the game right now and you're only 21 years old you're going to keep on getting better so I better keep you on this team also why does he play for the Springfield Thunderbirds couldn't tell you okay so sugabo actually declined our deal but I'm going to offer him another contract here we'll do 11 million for the next 7 years he should accept that one we do have to finish up the bottom six here so isbister a one-year deal of $2 million hopefully that's going to be enough to bring you back to the team and Simpson I haven't necessarily decided if you're going to be playing this season obviously I want you to play but we actually don't have the money for you that's a lie if we do two years at $4 million then you'll also be able to join the team and we'll have like 200k in cap space so I think that's the move all right so the M beliefs just aren't the team they used to be anymore we're definitely going to be making the playoffs and we'll be one of the best in the entire league but the star players just aren't here anymore Dixon is sweat sweet whatever you want to call them bow Easter Silverthorn Gerard Simpson the bottom six is nothing like it used to be like we used to have like 88 overalls 87 overalls but the cap situation on this team got very difficult however in saying all of that our defense is the best it's ever been the third pairing might not be the strongest but these four guys right here we can rely on them day and night and the gold tending situation we got zattin an 89 overall Stevenson's going to be taking the rain sooner than we think these are two guys we can also rely on offensively we're nowhere near as good as we used to be defensively on the other hand this is the best we've ever been and the goal tending tandem don't even get me started on that because that's Elite so I guess all we can really hope for here is the team goes on some sort of Miracle run and we can start scoring like eight goals a game if we can somehow have the best offense in the entire league then no one's going to be able to stop us because our defense is going to be allowing less than 2.5 goals per game I think at the trade deadline we're currently outside the top 10 that would not surprise me okay we're ninth here with a 33 22 and8 record we're not a good team our offense we can score goals it's actually our biggest issue defensively we're not too bad 2.87 that's tied for the best in the entire league our offense on the other hand I think it's one of the worst so that's one of our biggest issues right now we can't score goals however we did know that coming into the season and that's pretty clear looking at the scoring right now we used to have five or six guys having 50 points by now now we we only have three the go tending numbers pretty solid from zatana 28 wins Two Shots a 908 and a 278 Stevenson these aren't too good but you know what you're still a young gold tender only an 83 overall you'll be taking the Reigns probably next season then zat's going to be getting traded but for now just hold it down your backup roll the biggest issue right now is once you get to the year 2042 everybody wants $10 million ham here he's getting paid $15 million he's an 85 overall granted he is 35 years old so that contract just hasn't aged well but a lot of these guys like $10 million we don't have the money to be making these types of moves okay so we have to trade one of our medium Elite prospects away but we're going to be getting a medium Le potential player we're getting Archer he's an 82 overall sniper he's going to help the third line we're going to have to ship out Ty Fernandez honestly this doesn't bother me too much we're trading a medium Elite for another medium Elite it's going to work out for both sides here we're going to have to throw a couple draft picks in probably a sixth or seventh rounder you know what we're getting the guy we want I'll give you a fifth rounder for 204 4 I feel like that's a fair deal they're going to be saying no to that but we're just a bit low so I'll throw in that seventh rounder and we're getting this deal done so we're going to be picking up some more bottom six scoring that's what we're desperately missing right now that's a smart move for us he's also stolen his rookie contracts we're only going to have to pay him a million dollars I can love with that so I was cooking up a huge deal but we had to clear up cap space so that's why I sent Fox over to the Anaheim Ducks moving on over to kachuck I just want a draft pick here I don't want to pick up any players we're going to get a seventh rounder from the Carolina Hurricanes and to finish off all three of these moves felin is going to be sent over to the Calgary Flames and we're going to be getting a third and fourth rounder however things aren't really going as planned yeah so we're about to make a move right now and I already know I'm going to get flame for it I'm trading a first rounder and a fourth for somebody who has bottom six potential you heard that right we're trading a first round pick and a third round pick now for somebody with bottom six potential it's going to be a first a third and a fourth for somebody with guess what bottom six potential why don't you want to accept this deal he has bottom six potential we are desperate take advantage of us that was a really stupid move but we're incredibly desperate we got to spark the offense here plain and simple all right so we highkey cook the finish out the season third in the entire league with a 48 24- 10 record we shouldn't be here right now the offense picked up the defense isn't quite as good but that's still best in the entire league if the offense is running on full cylinders we have a very good chance at another Stanley Cup in saying that though once again this season we're not going to have anyone averaging over a point a game while the go tending numbers are taking a step back with zna 40 wins two shuts a 907 and a 275 if it was any other player I would be concerned with these numbers but we know what this man does in the postseason he wins US games I mean he can win us games as long as we produce offensively because last season he had a 930 and a 229 and because we didn't score we didn't get out of the first round we have a chip on our shoulder this time around let's get another Stanley Cup and let's score some goals all right so the opposite has happened the past two games we've allowed six goals in both of of them normally I'm concerned about the offense but right now I'm concerned about the defense we didn't even score in game number five we allowed five goals and we didn't even score we're going to lose in game six never mind we scored seven goals I don't know what this team is are we good are we bad are we good offensively are we bad offensively nobody knows all I know is the New Jersey devs are currently a 50 win team but that doesn't matter in the postseason in the second period both teams are exploding for two goals each the third period is going to be deciding this one and our offense is going to keep fun roll and we're picking up another two goals for unanswered for the stick on the ice Maple Leafs and we're off to the second round so we've moved on to the second round and if we're able to get past the New Jersey Devils and we can definitely get past the Detroit Red Wings a team that only won 39 games but more than likely we are going to lose to the 39 win Detroit Red Wings that would be the most fitting loss for the Toronto Maple Leafs however that's actually not us because we're the stick on the ice Maple Leafs and we don't lose games like that so we have a 3-1 series lead and we're closing out in game number five here I told y'all the stick on the ice Maple Leafs they don't fold games like this right now the troll Maple Leafs are playing so I mean that's why we're losing some games but stick on the ice Maple Leafs they show up in game number six it's a known fact that the stick on the ice Maple Leafs have never lost a playoff game in the entirety of this video every single loss this team's had that's been the Toronto Maple Leafs playing the Conference Finals is going to be by far our most difficult task we're taking on the reigning Stanley Cup champions in the Carolina Hurricanes however if we get past Carolina and then take on Vancouver in the Stanley Cup Final then you might as well give us the Stanley Cup before the series is even over because nobody lose to Vancouver in the Stanley Cup Final sorry to all Vancouver Canucks fans but that's just the way it is give us the Stanley Cup right now just hand it over to us a sweep over the reigning Stanley Cup champions no Toronto's locked in right now we're probably taking on Chicago here in the Stanley Cup Final but Chicago's not ready for us if we're going to keep it a th Chicago's not ready for us we just swept the reigning Stanley Cup champions Chicago y'all ain't nothing so here we go we're simulating through the first four games of this ideally we just completed sweep here unfortunately that's not going to be happening we're going to take it in five games five games to win the Stanley Cup for the stick on the ice Maple Leafs I think that might be the 10th of the video 10 Stanley Cups and we're only in year 20 right now we're winning basically every other year I mean that might actually not be true I do not recall how many Stanley Cups we've won but we've definitely got ourselves a handful Dixon was lean the way for us 25 points here sweat or sweets picking up 23 Silverthorn 21 battina what were you up to 16 wins three shs and 19 10 to 254 not the greatest numbers you've had but hey how many Stanley Cups have you won US I just actually want to double check these numbers I believe you've won three Stanley Cups with the stick on the ice Maple Leafs now yep three Stanley Cups in the last four years this team's pretty darn good even with all the turnover we've gone through over the past couple Seasons we've still been one of the best in the entire league and you know what the entire team's coming back next season we're not going to be losing a single player that means we're going to be winning again so after not picking up anybody notable in the draft last season we're changing things up this time around we're getting a lowly potential player with the 192nd overall so we have some good news during the resign phase for once we really don't have to bring anyone back to the team but I will resign a couple guys to play in the AHL now although we don't have to bring anyone back during the resign phase we do have to go some extensions here and we're going to be losing some players that's for sure B Easter how much are you looking for this is very reasonable what would an 8-year deal look like with you $ 12 million I think that's actually the move we're going to do seven though maybe six let me calculate how many years are left in the rebuild and then that will dictate how long the extension is going to be so if I did my math correct which is there's probably only about a 35% chance I did we have five seasons left in the rebuild we have bone Meer under contract for this season so that means we need him for four more so we're doing four years at 9.4 million another player I wanted to bring back was DEA but not at this price we're going to be trading you and then en Ross I'm definitely trading you away cuz you're 33 years old and you're already declining 10.3 million that's not happening I think we might just write out your contract for this season and Simpson I kind of forget what role you play on this team but I feel like it's not worth 8.7 million then again are you playing top 6 minutes I don't actually recall cuz if you're playing top six minutes then it might be worth it I'll give you an extension at the beginning of the season Once I remember what line you're playing on also Brett Scott what would you want for an extension yeah not happening not happening in the slightest you're an 82 overall and you want basically $10 million you're bugging okay not even debating this contract he's lowly potential 22 years old I'll give you 2 point actually why am I doing an 8-year extension we'll do four years at $2 million that's an incredible deal for us you're 79 overall so you'll play on the team this season that contract is not even being debated right now and neither is this contract a 75 overall who could potentially be a third paring guy for us in a couple seasons four years at 900k we got to save money where we can and when it comes to Gold tending Stevenson what would you want for an extension if we were to do five years or something we need to do four years 8.3 is definitely not the move here Sonata what would you want for an extension if we did 4 years $10 million okay this is going to be a tough one here Stevenson I don't think we're going to resign you right now we'll do that at the end of the season and then zna I think we're going to let you walk or should I just trade you away I might trade you away and try to get some assets okay so I said I wasn't going to bring back DEA and then I realized what defenseman are available in free agency and what defenseman we can trade for according to trade value 87 overall DEA who's 27 years old with top four potential has like the seventh highest trade value when it comes a defenseman so yeah here's 16 million per year for the next 8 years and after combining that with bone measer we have no money so the team's looking good so I've said this a million times in the video and I'm going to keep on saying it why are 79 overall players asking for 7.5 million we could sign this man right here he's got low top four potential 24 years old and he only wants 4.5 million so that's an absolute steal but if we keep going further down here we can eventually find some cheaper players we're going to go with Street 2.1 million 79 overall I'll take it never mind I take it back he doesn't fit on any of the defensive pairings we have to find somebody else we're just trying to save money wherever we can a 78 overall that wants $3 million probably not the move here but hey here's somebody that wants a million he's a 78 overall we're also going to give him 1.3 million just to make sure he joins this team yeah safe to say we're desperate for players here's a 78 overall that wants 1.7 million sure I'm fine with that also I completely forgot we qualified isbister but I'm trading him over to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a sixth and seventh rounder no point having him on the team if he's not going to play especially since he wants $6 million Bros bugging so after winning a Stanley Cup last season OB obviously expectations going to be high for the stick on the ice mate beliefs the team's looking pretty solid on the top six here the bottom six like usual isn't as strong but I mean we got zov he's an 85 overall we also have Archer here he's an 86 as long as these guys can produce on the third line here then we're going to be perfectly fine defensively our top four absolutely incredible the best in the entire league the third pairing we're not going to talk about meanwhile the go tending situation Stevenson's up to an 88 overall it's certified he's going to be the guy for the rest of this rebuild while zatana I think we're just going to ride out his contract with a go tending tandem that includes 288 overalls no one's going to be able to stop us our backup go tender is better than most starters in the league right now speaking of which Stevenson if I were to give you an extension what would you want 8.1 million we can find a way to make that work so how about I give you 7.3 million and we call it a day because I know for a fact after this season you're going to be asking for way more than 8.1 million but 7.3 I feel like that's a fair deal for both sides so here we go 7.3 million for Stevenson we locked down our Elite goenda while zna I might even trade you at the trade deadline but if I'm trading you I'm trading you to one of the worst teams in the entire league because I don't want to match up against you in the postseason didn't I trade this man we sent him to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a sixth and seventh round pick why are you telling me I need to sign him he's not even on our team anymore at the trade deadline we're going to be sitting second in the entire league with a 394 and9 record a pretty decent offense but that defense fantastic unfortunately though I actually don't think it's best in the entire league this time around never mind it still is the best in the entire league we have 70 overalls on our third pairing but I guess it doesn't matter I'm going to keep it a stack though the goal scoring is absolutely abysmal Dixon you're about 9 point shy of a point a game that's not going to cut it we need somebody to step up on this team meanwhile zatana it looks like you're still the starter here 27 wins Two Shots a 914 to 253 while Stevenson you have 12 wins with a 912 and a 266 the future's bright for you plain and simple and since zat Anda still our starting goenda we're going to keep him on the team we're just going to rock with the team we have and this team did win a stying cup last season so I have nothing to worry about so obviously we're going to be one of the best teams in the entire league second here with a 4920 and 13 record an offense that's pretty good but a defense that's best in the entire league I still haven't figured out how our defense is that good I mean our top four is incredible don't get me wrong about that but I feel like that third pairing should just be the Difference Maker and that should definitely not have us as one of the top three defenses meanwhile here's the scoring on this team not that great but I guess the depth scoring isn't too bad Sonata 31 wins three shots at 913 to 257 seven Stevenson I can't complain about these numbers but win a game in overtime once in a while how did you have 10 overtime losses bro couldn't stop a puck in overtime but I don't care if Stevenson could make a save in overtime because he's not going to be playing in the postseason we have the MCH all Canadians in the first round and all Canadian matchup this one's going to be going Toronto's way we already know this well the Toronto M beliefs have definitely shown up here because we're down 3-1 in the series it's pretty clear and the TR Maple Leafs are going to decide to step in in the postseason here I mean the stick on the ice Maple Leafs played in game number two because we won 4 to two but the toron maple Le played the rest of the games and we're out in the first round great work team okay so we have four seasons left in the rebuild here we got a bounce back because there's no reason we should be losing in the first round this Toronto team really let me down I'm not going to lie the Toronto Maple Le showed up when we needed the stick on the ice mate beliefs you hate to see it you really do meanwhile the offensive numbers absolutely abysmal on this team like nobody showed up here while the gold tending numbers they're probably not that great yeah zenata an 899 to 277 if we score goals we would have got out of the first round but this offense is absolutely abysmal six points from Silverthorn six points from Gerard four points from Simpson two points from sweat everyone else had one point or zero points just abysmal the Big Time Players not making big time plays B Easter what I give you for an extension 9.4 million you had zero points we're paying somebody 9.4 million who has zero points that's fantastic all right so after losing in the first round we're securing mediumly potential goal tenders there is nothing to be happy about right now we an absolute disappointment the Toronto Maple Leafs of course are going to show up when it matters most and not the stick on the ice Maple Leafs we're drafting this man that might have medium lead potential I don't really care if he does or not okay he does have medium lead potential that was actually a good draft pick I'm not going to complain about that we just got two golender with medium Elite potential can we get a third go tender with medium Elite potential here we're just going to take a risk we could go with the right defenseman that might have low Elite potential but no we want the guy with medium lead potential he has bottom six all right that's great all right so Simpson you're not going back to the team next season you won $10 million you do not produce like a $10 million player plain and simple also I was 99% sure I traded this man away supposedly I didn't he W 6.3 million still you know what just walk I'm actually going to release you I don't know why you're still on this team also en Ross is going to be gone he's 34 years old and he's dropped to an 83 overall Scott I would bring you back but I know you want $15 billion so that's also not happening some of these rfas are qualify then trade him away but yeah we got to upgrade the team a little bit here also zatana you're also leaving the team here you want $12 million we got Stevenson in between the pipes he's the man for the future Dixon's being the most reasonable man ever if anyone on this team deserves $12 million it's him so I'm going to give him 11.9 I'm being very Petty also sweat sweet whatever you want to call them yeah this isn't happening we might be trading you you're a good piece to the team but at that price I don't think it's worth it also zoff we're just going to ride out your contract Silverthorn we're probably going to ride out your contract as well as well we're going to have to make some moves that we prepare for the future I mean Archer we could bring him back if we did a 5year deal 8.2 million can you fit on the top six because if you can then that's where we'll probably play you you could be a second line player for us I think you'll play Silverthorn so we'll do 7.5 for the next 5 years with Archer and then that's going to be our replacement on the second line and it's actually going to save us a bit of money until then though Silverthorn we're writing out your contract all right so this is the move sweat sweet you're getting traded away I'm packaging you up with the second round pick we're sending you over to the Florida Panthers to get a left defenseman that's on his rookie contract he's an 0 overall he's going to be the replacement for enros I think he's the replacement for enros we've had a lot of players play for this team I can't remember who's still here and who isn't but the second round is not going to be enough so I'm not messing around it's going to be sweat in the first round pick we're getting the guy we want here that's really not enough you're actually kind of bugging I'll throw in a second rounder as well so it's a medium lead potential player a first and second round pick for a rookie there we go we got the rookie the defense is getting an upgrade here now we're just going to sign somebody to a one-year deal at $10 million okay we're making a very very very very questionable move here we're trading for Michael Misa he's an 85 overall but he's 37 years old at this point we're bringing him on for the One season and ideally we have 50% of his contract retained then he'll only be a $5 million player and I can live with that I'm going to be sending a mediumly potential goenda they're going to be saying no but you know what I'm willing to give up more just so that you can retain salary so I'll give you a second rounder as well and I think that should be enough to get the steal done okay they're not willing to retain Sal so we're just going to be trading for Michael Misa straight up now this isn't the worst deal in the world but it's not a good deal so that should be noted this is not a smart move I also forgot we have to give an extension to a Monte I'll do 1.4 for the next 3 years hopefully he can play on the third pairing and then Simpson can we do a oneyear contract with you at a cheap price no we can't so we're going to have to trade you away so I'm assuming EA never expected anyone to play till the year 2040 because the contracts have screwed things up so much that basically no team has any good defenseman you know normally have one good defenseman like the Columbus Blue Jacks do they have a 90 overall the rest of the defense absolutely abysmal I fully understand why we have one of the best defenses in the entire league now because comparing our defense to the rest in the league it's not even comparable so at this point I'm just worrying about the future here we're going to try to pick up a medium Le potential defenseman we're including a lot in this deal but I really don't care what we have to give up the future is now a lot of these guys are trading for on long-term deals I mean I shouldn't say long-term deals it's a three-year deal you know what he's going to help the defense here we gave up quite a few draft picks and some valuable assets but you know what our team's better at the end of the day and then all we have to do is bring in a cheap backup gold tender I was going to sign this guy but you know what 1.3 million I mean that actually would be a steal of a deal we're not going to worry about that we're just going to sign one of the cheapest guys available here that isn't an RFA 2.5 million I mean that could be the move yeah we're just going to go with the guy that's 2.5 million who's an 82 I'll give you 2.5 million for the next 2 years I know you only want 1.8 million but we need a backup like the first line doesn't have really good line fits by any means we're going to roll with it the rest of the team's pretty solid the fourth line could use some work but you know what we can definitely live with what we have here defensively the first Line's good the next two lines have horrible line fits but you know what it just doesn't matter we have an 88 overall Stevenson in between the pipes one of the best young goldendream last season might not have been the best for him but now it's time for him to take over and lead us to Victory so it's officially happened the Tron map Leafs have shown up and they've been playing the regular season so far the stick on the ice map leavs haven't played a game yet 34 23 and six we're terrible offensively and we're also terrible defensively we're not good at anything right now looks like time finally ran out for this team I mean just look at this team the second line has not hurted the word defense -7 minus 12 and then archers minus 15 how are y'all this bad a defense go tending Stevenson 26 wins three shots a 908 and a 272 these aren't necessarily the worst numbers in the world but it would help if this team played a bit of Defense so you know what we have to do we got to make a trade what is that trade going to be I have absolutely no clue but you know what we're going to figure something out so I take it back I don't think we're actually making a trade here because how the heck am I going to clear up $13 million even if they retain half his salary how am I going to clear up $7 million like it's just not going to work here maybe this guy he's only getting paid $8 million if you retain 50% that's only 4 million potentially this could be a move for us but does he F on any of the lines here we're not too sure we might have to take a risk though all right so I've come to the conclusion that's going to be impossible for me to do trades from here on out at the trade deadline so we're just going to go ahead simulate the rest of the season pray that we can make the playoffs and then go on some sort of Miracle run from here on out I'm done stopping at the trade deadline because it's literally impossible to make trades with how the salary cap is all right it's pretty easy to say we're washed but we're not actually washed yet seventh in the entire league 4528 and N we have a 330 goals four and a 287 goals gains the goals gains clearly isn't as good as it used to be but it still is second in the entire league while the goal is for it's probably not even top 10 but as long as we can keep the puck out of our net we always have a chance with that being said the offense last postseason was actually the thing that let us down we did a great job keeping the puck out of our net actually that's a lie as well Stevenson's numbers 37 wins a 907 and a 274 these are okay I mean they're no spectacular numbers but they're not the worst in the world so here we go Toronto taking on the Montreal Canadians these teams have matched up a ton in the postseason so far in this video so like usual the stick on the ice map Leafs are going to show up here and we're going to smoke Montreal the toron maple leavs better not show up in a single game during this series unfortunately though the toron maple leavs has shown up in the past two games and we blew a 20 series lead luckily the stick on the ice M beliefs no one to show up and we're going to close this out in six games a 6-3 victory and we're off to the second round all right we got incredibly lucky there's no reason the Boston Bruin should have lost in the first round as long as we don't choke against Detroit we're basically Conference Finals bound while we're certainly not choking right now because we're closing out in five games here never mind we're going to lose that one 5 to one but we're going to close it out in game number six and now we got the Buffalo Sabers in the Conference Finals we've got to keep on rolling here no point in stopping we got all the momentum right now A 3-1 series lead and just like that we're off to the Stanley Cup Final in game five a massive 5-4 Victory the TR map Leafs are still here and they're still competing so we've reached the Stanley Cup Final once again the TR map beliefs they shouldn't be here right now I apologize the stick on the ice Maple Leaf shouldn't be here right now through all the trials and tribulations this team went through this season we've earn this Stanley Cup everyone was betting against us but here we are back in another final no like real talk we should not be in the Stanley Cup Final right now we're not that good of a team but Vegas they're putting up a solid fight here the series has been split two games a piece game five is a massive one we're scoring five goals and that's going to allow us to take it and then game number six here another Stanley Cup for the Toronto mate beliefs that's got to be our 10th of the video 10 Stanley Cups in 21 years this team's Incredible or 22 years it's pretty clear that I've completely forgotten what's been happening it's February 5th at the beginning of this video I said I started on January 20s something we've been working on this for about 2 weeks now so you can't expect me to remember every single Stanley Cup we've won over the past 2 weeks Michael Misa leaned the way 22 points an incredible pickup shaer 21 points wasn't expecting him to do too much bar goenda 261 it's the first of his career at only 25 years old he's going to be sticking around for the the next couple years and that means he's going to be bringing home a couple more after winning that Stanley Cup we might as well make some moves here and Silver Thorn I'm going to be bringing you back to the team at 8 point6 for the next 5 years that's 100K more than what you're getting paid right now and you're still a good piece to the team when it comes to zof and Michael Misa though we're going to have to let both of these guys walk all right so the draft right now actually sucks like there's no good prospects available here so we're trading for future picks and I'm picking up a third from the Carolina Hurricanes we're not done there though because I'm also going to be picking up a third rounder from the Arizona Coyotes bro ain't no no way we just had another coach retire from the team what's with all these coaches retiring after winning Stanley Cups bro wants to go out on top go out on top after we win another two can't be leaving the team right now so we don't have a lot of money to work with but I'm going to try to bring back hill here on a 2.6 million deal for the next 3 years he's going to play some bottom six minutes for us I think probably on the third line if not we'll just trade him away to clear up the cap space so the top six is going to be staying the same but we do need to make some additions to the fourth line here so we're bringing in Thorn to help that this is really not enough a third a fourth and a fifth rounder here's a seventh as well we're basically going to have no draft picks for this upcoming draft you know what that's perfectly fine because we're looking to win another Stanley Cup and we're not done there because a second and third round is going to be shipped over to the New York Rangers and we're bringing in board to help the bottom six as well to cap it all off though I did sign a bunch of guys to either play in the AHL or on our bottom six we're kind of desperate right now I'm not going to lie so I think we're a decent enough team to compete for a Stanley Cup this season maybe even repeat the bottom six though that's definitely taking a massive step back back even the top six like an 84 overall is our number one Center and an 85 overall here on the second line we're just not as good as we used to be playing and simple the defense though I can definitely live with what we have here that's not too bad while the go tending that's absolutely fantastic here we have an 88 overall Stevenson is our starting goenda backup right now is we're in the preseason we're like halfway through so it's just rotating goenda season and you never know he might just lead us to another Stanley Cup okay sixth in the entire league with a 4428 and 10 record is a lot better than what I expected our offense it was actually good this season but our defense yikes a 340 we're washed plain and simple where is the 340 in the entire league though it's actually one of the worst okay it's like mid we're like 15th in the entire league when it comes to defense not a good sign however we can afford to be a bit worse defensively if our offense is better and I actually think it is this season because we have two guys over a point a game meanwhile the goal tending numbers we're going to pretend those don't exist I didn't see those numbers we have the Detroit Red Wings in the first round offense has to lead the charge in the postseason cuz defense clearly isn't and just like that we swept the Detroit Red Wings and we scored a lot of goals like a ton of goals and these three games right here that combined for 18 goals you had this game right here 24 goals and four games yeah that's pretty good so I got to stop doubting this team even when things look bad we show up to play sweeping the Detroit Red Wings was a good start for us but now we got take down the Islanders and I know this team's been able to beat us a couple times all right so the Islanders are absolutely smoking us right now besides game three where we dominated 8 to2 we're winning game five though you never know maybe we can win game six and force a game seven here that would be massive for the team we're off to game seven and a chance at another Conference Finals appearance no but real talk how are we always competing with teams that are better than us okay we're toast here we're not going to be winning this series unless we make some stupid comeback here in the third period I don't get it I really don't get it anymore how does this team dominate like this when the third period comes around they just turn it up we're in the Conference Finals once again this time it's the Buffalo Sabres we actually have a better record than them how does this team keep on winning I will never understand this we're in the year 2046 we almost got swept but we're going to make a 3 Series comeback here okay never mind we're losing in the Conference Finals but how did we even make it to the Conference Finals we should not have been in this position then again we just lost to like a 41- win Buffalo Sabers team sometimes this team just doesn't make sense but show it to sha for 23 points in 16 games I had concerns about you playing on the top line but you exceeded those expectations also Buffalo is winning the Stanley Cup here I believe we have two more seasons left in this rebuild 25 years is coming to a close pretty quick I did not think we were going to make it to this point I'm going to be completely honest once I got to like year 13 I was ready to pack it in but you know what it's all about the content I am doing this for the content I don't think very many people have made it to this point because we're probably about 2 and 1/2 hours into the video it's going to be like 4 hours long or something so if you made it to this point how's it going hope you're doing well hope you're doing swell go get some good eats and enjoy the rest of the video so we got to bounce back after that disappointment so we're going to be drafting a mediumly potential go tender here in the third round so it turns out we only had two picks in this draft I didn't realize we only had two selections but one mediumly potential go tender out to two picks not too bad so after making no moves during the resign phase we do have one extension to give out and it's going to be elck here we're going to do 14.5 for the next 8 years I mean we don't need to do an 8-year deal but he wants one and we got to keep him around for that final season and then with the next move we're doing it's going to be Thorne and a third round pick over to the Minnesota Wild and we're picking up lock he's going to be able to play on the bottom six here and when I say he's playing on the bottom six I actually don't care where he plays as long as we can bring him in on a reasonable contract can we do two years here two years at 2.1 million let's get this deal done all right so last season our record didn't indicate how well we did because after we got through the regular season we went on a decent run in the postseason making it all the way to the Conference Finals I'm hoping the team can do that again this season the forward core it's basically identical with a few small changes the defense similar to the forward core nothing's really changing here and the goal tending guess what nothing's changing except we don't have a backup this season we're going to rock with a 74 overall as our backup so once again we're a top 10 team 7th here with 46 wins a decent offense and the defense was actually better this season a 305 it's not good by means but I can definitely live with that Dixon he was just one point sh of 100 you hate to see it Gerard 85 and then we had two other guys picking up 80 points here the offense is really flying now while the gold tending num Stevenson 37 wins seven shots a 901 to 289 and also our 74 overall these aren't that bad numbers an 885 and a 337 nowhere near the expectations I set for you but considering you were a 74 overall I can't really expect much more now all we need to do is win 16 games in the postseason here ideally win 16 straight but but we already know that's not going to happen we got the New Jersey Devils in the first round we can't take this team lightly because at the end of the day they actually finished with more wins than we did all right so I'm just going to mention this right now the Toronto Maple Leaf showed up and not the stick on the ice Maple Leafs I mean the stick on the ice Maple Leaf showed up in game number four there and that's the reason we're still in this series but in game five the toron map Leafs are showing up and we're out here in the first round one season left and then we're done 25 years is about to be completed here who would have thought we would ever get to this point so here we go it all comes down to this one final season for the Toronto Maple Leafs or stick on the ice Maple Leafs it's really going to depend on who shows up next season I am trading every single draft pick we have away if you're a prospect on this team you're being traded we are going to try to build the greatest team imaginable for the final season is it going to be possible I have absolutely no clue but we're doing everything we can to win so this is what the plan is unless I'm guaranteed a medium Elite potential player I'm not using the draft pick so our first rounder here that's 26th overall we're trading that away for a future pick because then we'll have more assets to work with next season but if you're guaranteed to be mediumly potential you'll be coming to the team so what I'm going to be doing is trading our 26th overall pick over to the New Jersey Devils and we're going to get a future first round pick that's step number one to the plan and then our next trade is going to be the 122nd and the 218th over to the seal Kraken so we can get the 93rd overall pick now you might be thinking this trade isn't for the future but it sort of is because with the 93rd overall pick we're going to be selecting a mediumly potential sniper and we already know medium Le potential forwards have tons of trade value so that's definitely going to be helping our team rebuild for the final season and then for our final trade we're going to be picking up a future third rounder from the Boston Bruins we're going to have a ton of draft Capital to work with next season and that's going to be good for completing the rebuild all right so when it comes to the Reign phase we're not going to be bringing anyone back here except we are going to be qualifying these two rfas and then we're going to be trading them away because we don't have the money to afford them bro wants $13 million he actually doesn't want $13 million he wants 14 so yeah we're not going to be able to afford that and and Earl he's going to want 9.6 that deal is not as bad but even still we're not going to be able to afford him we're going to trade both of these guys away for two younger players well maybe not novakov here because he is an 86 overall 20 years old if we can hold on to him we will but we got to get a bit younger and a bit cheaper all right so it's that time of year where we're going to trade for people on their rookie Deals they high overalls we're picking up this man from the St Louis Blues he's an 85 overall playmaker and he's going to play on the top line here I'm going to be packaging up our medium Le Potential Prospect a first and second rounder shipping that over to St Louis unfortunately they're going to be saying no here but I feel like another second rounder should be enough to get this deal done I'm going to ship that over they're still saying No what else do I have to throw in this deal I don't really want to do two first round picks but if we have to I will here's a third rounder as well this should be more than enough for that one player okay I guess we're doing two first round picks I didn't want to do two first rounders but I guess we're going to have to honestly this is kind of wild give me a second rounder back in exchange you can't be finessing me like this you got to give me a second back you know what never mind what is is it going to take to get this man right here I understand he's an incredible talent but I feel like I'm offering way too much we finally got the deal done but even still what did it cost and we're not done there because the Dallas Stars you guys got Caesar Dennis and 85 overall I'm going to give you a second rounder and a mediumly potential goenda defenseman a 7978 overall ideally they have some good line fits here but that's not guaranteed I'm going to send this package over they're going to be accepting immediately that's perfectly fine I mean that's not the greatest situation in the world because if we could have got a draft pick back I would have been happy but hey we got the two guys we needed now we just need to make a few other moves and that next move is going to be shipping up buard to clear up the $3.3 million in cap space and the reason we did that is so we would have enough money to bring back Earl for this final season he's a good piece to the defense an 84 overall ideally I would have liked to keep that other defenseman around but he won 15 million and there's no way we could have made those contracts work all right so here we go year number 255 never would have thought we would get to this point we're going to ignore that some players on this team don't have good line fits they're high overalls they have X factors and we're getting a plus two overall boost on every single line here this team should be able to perform with the best in the entire league the defense nowhere near as good as what it used to be but we have three Superstar defenseman that we can rely on game in and game out so I have no issues with this and on top of that we have one of the best young goenda league I mean he's not really young anymore he is 27 years old Greg Stevenson an 88 overall he's got a ton of X factors himself it's the last dance for this team let's go get one more Stanley Cup so it should be no surprise we're going to finish this video off the same way we started with the Toronto Maple Le being one of the best in the entire league fourth with a 4726 and9 record an incredible offense here with the defense it's actually not too bad 2.98 that's definitely one of the best defenses we've had in a while it looks like Dixon's going to cap it off with a 91 Point season 32 goals 59 helpers B Easter not too bad from him 78 points while Stevenson what were these go tending numbers looking like this is not it 36 wins five shots an 896 and a 308 with any other goldendent about these numbers but I know what you can do in the postseason I've seen you step up in the playoffs now it's time for you to do that one more time and it all starts off like this one final match up against the odwa senders in the first round no messing around we can't lose four games in a seven game series we all know how much one more Stanley Cup would mean for this team we can't go out like this in the final season we've had so much success and we're about to lose in a five game series this is the worst way to end the video we won countless Stanley Cups but in the past couple Seasons this team just wasn't it to be completely honest though the cap situation in this game got incredibly stupid I think by the end the salary cap was up to about1 130 million and we started at 82 so we're going to say give or take the salary cap went up 55% contracts did not match that 55% so if a player was asking for a million dollar at the beginning of the video by now they should be asking for about 1.5 million to keep everything equal 79 overall players are asking for $8 million that is not a 50% increase bow measer seven points Dixon six points none of this matters Stevenson you really folded an 873 and a goals gam of above four I can't believe you did that in the final season Vancouver they're going to win the Stanley Cup here over the Montreal Canadians and now we're going to simulate till the game tells me I can't play any longer I'm assuming this is the final season unless I've done math completely wrong and just like that franchise mode is now complete 25 years with the Toronto mate beliefs and it's finally come to an end now all I have to do is edit this entire video that's going to take me a bit it's February 6th right now I have no clue when this video is going to get uploaded but yeah this was quite the journey also if you somehow made it to the end of this video comment Joe pavelski because he somehow finished fourth in most schools all time Joe Pavel I finished with 1,60 goals so for a bit of context in 18 years in the NHL as of today Joe pavelski has 468 goals this man just finished with 1,60 he definitely played till he was 50 years old there's no other way he finishes with 1,000 goals but hey shout out to that absolute Legend and shout out to all of you for making it to the end of the video
