I'm rooting for Max Domi. I have always enjoyed watching him play, even before he joined the NHL. This was a guy that I had always hoped would one day appear on the Leafs. He is talented and versatile and is one of my personal favourites on the team. I really hope he stays in Toronto.

[@CoolDude-55]

As a leafs fan, I really want both to stay because they work so well together and papi.

[@maxbolton5227]

For sure they helped Matthews score a lot of goals in the playoffs

Bertuzzi didnt work well at all, what makes you think he should stay?

[@CoolDude-55]

[@joshmoxey.]

Domi. Guy bleeds blue, shows great potential and the effort is always there. Cares about being a Leaf unlike few players on this team. I would be over the moon if he returns. As for Bert, I wonder if he could get better output under new coach but taking that risk does make me nervous because his production was so spotty this year. If they do sign him though I'll probably be cool with it so long as it's a reasonable AAV with minimal term

[@northhaven2501]

Domi wants to be a Leaf, Bertuzzi just wants to play. I lean towards Domi. He earned my respect when he wore that baby blue blazer in memory of Bob Cole.

If Toronto has extra cap space I think hronek would be a fantastic fit! He played great with Quinn Hughes and he could possibly be a great fit for Riley. if he doesn’t sign with Vancouver that could be a possibility

[@AllDayShorts247]

I want both, BUT, they NEED both! Just can't over pay when D and G are priority!!!!!

[@Matthewkniesfan]

Yep exactly I’m cool with keeping both as long as they don’t overpay them

[@nicholasgraham7487]

I agree--they should try to keep them both but only for what they're truly worth. Regarding Marner, as much as he frustrates me during the playoffs, he still makes defensive plays that a lot of defensemen don't make. Guys who can score close to 100 points and play defense that well are going to be tough to get. That said, if the Leafs can get a Roman Josi or Jake Oettinger type of player for him then do it.

[@Konanan]

Both have the grit you need in the playoffs

[@s1acker6]

Worked great this year....

[@__._._-_._.__]

If it’s ONLY one give me Domi. Hoping they can get both signed along w pesce, 3.5-4 each for Bert and Domi and 5 for Pesce.

[@nayman2801]

wtf i grew up with Rosehill, didnt know he was still involved in the space at all

[@thetroy6108]

Yo, same

[@Sir_Sydney_live]

Domi, he bleeds blue and honestly is (obviously not of the same caliber) but I think he'd be a great somewhat replacement for Marner which frees up the leafs to say hey McCrimmon. You want Marner for Theodore and a 2nd or smth? (obviously not exactly that I'm not the GM here lol) but like that would be a great trade for the Leafs and would help Marner get to a new situation which might do him some good. (think Sam Bennet) execept reverse it lol, I think he's also the most likely to sign a "hometown discount" and he seems like a nice glue guy with some fight and bite. He did amazing with Matthews so give it a shot!

[@xrsroofingsolutionscanada2151]

Domi for sure but Bertuzzi wasn't the Detroit Bertuzzi but I do think a major problem with these netfront style players didn't work because of Keefe not demanding big shots from the point.

[@jimlangdon1947]

Domi - the Leafs just need help with a playoff style centre

[@ouromov2895]

The Leafs anguish must continue, at this point its like the 2nd draw for an audience and hype to the actual Stanley Cup Finals and 2nd round onwards that the Leafs will never make unless they shake their players up lol

[@Jimmyfly215]

i think if anything is more obvious than ever in today’s NHL, roster depth is just too important if you truly want to compete. if the Leafs cant trade Marner to free up space alone, and knowing tavres cant be traded, you're telling your fan base you are punting next season away. thats it in a nut shell

[@KevinBrevin]

If it was possible. Getting them both at 4.5 x 4-8 years would be perfect. If that line with Matthews still cooks then it’s a no brainer.

[@ChrisPerry-v1m]

Lot going on right now .... I like bolth of them as hockey players I don't know how thay are off the ice ..... I could see my self playing with them that tipe of players ... but I think thay are both wingers as am I..... im deff not ready yet but hopefully soon never know !!! GOD will be done .... but happy to here the team got some money left 100% ❤

They have to keep both but if you have to only keep one it’s definitely Domi ‼️

[@jlo2o199]

I don't like either of them! Just can't get on board with the current leafs team. Thought I was a fan until I realized " how can you be a fan of a team and not like half of their players?" Leafs have what Blackhawks fans have. a pretty jersey that'll keep people fans.

[@JackMacd]

Hot take. Leafs trade marner to flames, get the goalie they need and some assets. While freeing up some cap.

[@francescoravenda5070]

Both

[@Craprat]

Bertuzzi is mind frigged after getting moved from detroit and domi is a player in the wrong era as well as toronto maple LEAFS being a dumpster hockey organization. And then walks in a Chief… to lead these warriors to victory… watch oot eh

[@NotaGabeItch]

Not even a question, Domi 100%.

[@Matthewkniesfan]

I’m a leafs fan ik a lot of others want them to stay but here’s My question why do we have to overpay either to stay ??? I rlly Will never understand we need grit but 12 mill worth on 2 players when we need dman and a goalie I don’t thinks a great move and it’s not like your paying them to stay for matthews he was just as good before that line happened I can’t say the same for domi ig if you absolutely must overpay one it’s gotta be Bert. We need the extra scoring and Domi won’t offer that

[@cahg3871]

It really isn’t up to the fans,or even Treliving,it’s up to the money they will be offered on the open market.

[@Nikkerman]

It really would screw over the team if marner stays, because I feel like Bertuzzi and Domi brought a lot to the team in the playoffs, while marner helped give up the OT game 7 winner

[@Matthewkniesfan]

That goal was Reilly and Sammy’s fault watch it again not marner it was a dump and chase marner was coming from a line change and covered the lane for as long as he could Reilly froze and Sammy didn’t poke check so it was in simple as that

[@CoNNorG111]

Bertuzzi will hold more trade value, plus Domi wanting to rep toronto makes it an easy choice imo

[@rosariocannistraro3561]

Isn't Bertuzzi a UFA ? .

[@sereneprincess4940]

Tie Domi's kid and Todd Bertuzzi's nephew on the same team just makes sense. The Leafs need to have a solid foundation to build out from, because so many of their players are going to free agent status. Max and Tyler could easily become the McJesus/Draisaitl of Toronto, if Berube & Treliving quit tiptoe'ing around the concept of closing the revolving door that has been Canadian teams since Gary Bettman decided that Canadian teams are little more than player development farms for the rest of the league. And if Bettman sees this, I want you to know ya momma's a heaux.

[@Matthewkniesfan]

I’m sorry I’m a leafs fan and I like both but mcdavid drai is who you’re comparing them to maybe they in terms of a duo could pass ig but if you’re talking abt playwise no way

I want Bertuzzi in NJ. We need another gritty power forward in our top 6. We're too small right now. Palat-Hischier-Meier is a great 2nd line, so having Bratt-Hughes-Bertuzzi as a 1st line would be great.
