Sam Bennett again to the Florida Panthers isn’t a slam dunk
Cam Robinson: There was a number of speak that Sam Bennett will probably be re-signing with the Florida Panthers, however have been instructed that the Panthers and Bennett’s camp haven’t talked about an extension in weeks.
It seems that his choice is to remain in the USA, and there will probably be groups able to make huge provides if he goes to the open market.
Marchand is extra seemingly for the Maple Leafs than Bennett and Ehlers, and Rielly seemingly doesn’t wish to transfer
James Mirtle of The Athletic: (mailbag) Sam Bennett will both re-sign with the Florida Panthers or signal an enormous cope with a staff just like the Utah Mammoth, and never the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Imagine the Brad Marchand would have an curiosity in taking part in for the Maple Leafs, however it will price them, and the identical with some other staff. It might take at the least three years and and at the least $8 million for anybody to signal the 37-year-old. The Leafs might have a shot in the event that they’re okay with that value. One strategy to change their DNA.
Though Morgan Rielly‘s title has come up within the rumor mill, don’t suppose that he has any curiosity in leaving Toronto. He has a $7.5 million cap hit and a no-movement clause for 3 extra years. There was no indication that the Leafs are considering of asking him to waive.
The Leafs wish to transfer the puck higher out of their zone from the blue line, however buying and selling their just one (Rielly) wouldn’t resolve that. Would want so as to add and never subtract, however they’ve extra points up entrance they should cope with.
Can’t see Nikolaj Ehlers as a slot in Toronto to assist change Mitch Marner. He’s going to price as much as $9 million, doesn’t play bodily and has struggled within the playoffs.
Winger Nick Robertson isn’t a match with coach Craig Berube. He’s an RFA with arbitations rights and owed a $918,750 qualifying supply. He’ll seemingly get traded and received’t internet far more than a late-round draft choose.
