An update from Leaf Report on Brad Treliving and Matias Maccelli

1. Good
2. I think letting Maccelli go would be a mistake. Hopefully whichever GM comes in is willing to give him a chance in a different system
Are they fucking dumb? Qualify him and trade him if you don’t want him. What the fuck is wrong with this organization and asset management.
Not only that but he has genuinely been performing well since his 9 game scratch.
Maccelli has been one of our best players since December. But sure. Fuck up another player we gave zero chance instead to play domi
He’s gonna go walk and get 55 pts somewhere else. So annoying. Our coach has destroyed a bunch of our players and their value.
Do we really believe that the Leafs have come to a final decision on Maccelli’s qualifying offer on March 16th when it’s not due until June 30th?
Even if they are leaning towards not giving him it I doubt it’s completely set in stone right now and there is still time leading up to the draft to trade him if they really don’t want to keep him. (Also if Treliving is getting fired like they are implying it’s the new GM’s decision then)
And in case anyone doesn’t know his qualifying offer starts at 4.11 million.
Given number 1 to be true, who is making the call on number 2?
Yall are too high on Maccelli
What is the point in spending a 3rd on a guy, having him play all year amd thrn letting him walk for nothing? Hes young and skilled and you own his rights. Qualify him and either play him or trade him. Stop wasting assets for no reason
Why would Maccelli have no future here if the guy making that decision has no future here? Like, wtf we spent a 3rd on this guy, and we’re going to let him walk just to overpay some ufa? Why does nothing the Leafs do make any sense
I’m surprised so many people in here think Maccelli is a $4M player.
Guy is still pretty young and is showing he can play. He’s started scoring, but I also seen him making better plays off the puck too. He’s essentially morphing into another Robertson. Maybe, just maybe we should develop those two further instead of wasting away?! Just my thoughts as somebody with no background in sports management
Maccelli seemed to turn his game around quite quickly. He’s over 0.5ppg with some great synergy on our ass power play.
Losing him for nothing will be bonkers beyond belief.
Brad has pooerer asset management than an old person who continuously sends visa gift cards to a Nigerian prince in crisis.
Just embarrassing stuff. No idea why we aren’t even qualifying then trading Maccelli after since we hate the guy. Have we learned nothing about asset management?
If they do nothing and let macceilli walk Brad better be fucking fired
WHO is playing for this team next season that means we can just let a 40 point depth winger walk for nothing?
That’s too bad on Maccelli I liked him honestly, feel like he would provide more on a puck movement based system
I don’t think he is a $4M player but we need to remember that’s kinda like a $3.25M player a couple years ago. He’s not far off. I would qualify him and see if he picks up in a new environment and move him next season for a return. Too many lost assets the last few years.
As for Tre, I think of Dubas’ last season on his deal where he traded a bunch of futures for one series win, or the same thing with Shanny last year. I get that we don’t want lame ducks in charge.
Gonna be the slowest team in the league soon…
Does unqualifying Macceli mean that he’s going to leave as a free agent? If you don’t plan to keep him why don’t you trade him in the offseason, at least get some assets back. Like wasn’t Boston interested in him during the trade deadline?
How in the fuck are we coming to the conclusion Matias has no future here?
I’m not ready. I’m not ready to go back to the pre-shanny era 😭
Why he’s been great lately?
Point #2 has no basis in reality if there’s new management on the way in, unless Pelley himself told the kid to go fuck himself lol
his qualifying offer would probably be at exact market value for a productive middle-6 wing, I don’t really see why you wouldn’t do it then look for a trade if he’s gonna price himself out by the end of next year
This info coming out now is really bad though, hard to imagine his camp is thrilled about such finality in a statement and the next guy is gonna have to do damage control if he’s actually disgruntled by it – wildly unprofessional from the org
A team that is starved for depth scoring year after year not qualifying it’s 5th highest point scorer.
Ah well, this is the same team that didn’t qualify Pontus Holmberg who is now playing 14 min a game with the best team in the East. And let David Kampf walk, who was later flipped for a pick at the deadline while we were saddled with useless Calle Jarnkrok who nobody wanted for free.
Im wondering what brad expected from maccelli considering he was already getting benched in utah last year
Let’s watch them repeat Holmberg where he walks for nothing and is replaced by a guy that is paid significantly more, is less productive and costs a pick to acquire (Joshua)
Nepotism strikes again
This is all just opinion, completely unconfirmed. Mirtle mentions that he believes Maccelli isn’t the kind of player the Leafs need, but he isn’t GM of the leafs. This is all noise.
disappointed because Maccelli should be qualified and tre should be fired.
Oh I hope these two are wrong on point two. Sign him for peanuts trade him for pucks.
Leafs in 2067!!! Centennial cup anniversary champs!!! Go leafs!!!
We need more “no move contracts” like we need more cowbell !!!!
Nooo, who else is going to get us free pizza every home game?
Not qualifying anyone when we’re short on assets is beyond moronic
I’m confused. You wouldn’t just let him walk, right? Surely you’d get a draft pick, even if it’s late?
One of the few bright spots this season despite Berube doing his best to ruin him. Sure, yeah, just let him walk. Idiots.
This is so stupid. Brainless asset management. Even if you don’t think he has a future here the guy can produce and has proven it. Trade him. I don’t know wtf is going on with the leafs
So it’s not going to get better. Bad decisions will keep continue to happen
Reading this thread and although it’s been said, I don’t think the people on this sub understand how bad the FA pool is this summer. And many of them are going to get signed leaving the absolute dreck behind. And we have nothing to trade with – like nothing at all.
Also, at $104M cap, the average player budget is $5M.
While I don’t love Maccelli, it’s impossible to understand how he isn’t worth $4M. He is and those who don’t need to understand that their valuations are way off. This isn’t 2021.
Look at the cost of Reilly, Lorentz, Jarnkrok, Domi, Joshua and, hopefully, you understand that $4M for Maccelli is reasonable.
The Leafs should start keeping good hockey players instead of worrying about having the biggest team in the league again, personally.
Treliving needs to go but why the fuck wouldn’t you qualify Maccelli?
Even if you don’t want him I bet you can get at least a mid round pick for him
This franchise has the dumbest fucking asset management
The leaf organization is abusive to their fans and players.

Incompetence runs rampant in this organization
😆 we the /leafs subreddit is the new GM.
Every player gets traded after two bad shifts
