Sam Bennett again to the Florida Panthers isn’t a slam dunk
Cam Robinson: There was a lot of discuss that Sam Bennett can be re-signing with the Florida Panthers, however have been informed 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 can be groups able to make large presents if he goes to the open market.
Marchand is extra doubtless for the Maple Leafs than Bennett and Ehlers, and Rielly doubtless 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 group 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 could value them, and the identical with some other group. It may take a minimum of three years and and a minimum of $8 million for anybody to signal the 37-year-old. The Leafs may have a shot in the event that they’re okay with that value. One solution 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 pondering of asking him to waive.
The Leafs want to transfer the puck higher out of their zone from the blue line, however buying and selling their just one (Rielly) wouldn’t clear up that. Would wish 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 value 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 doubtless get traded and received’t internet rather more than a late-round draft decide.
