<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logicalicesports</b></div><div>What is this roster man?

Trineyev is far from NHL ready if he will ever be.

Why do we have so many damn thirds. Move some picks to get higher draft selections.

Frank is not a winger and he is barely nhl ready.

Robertson is not taking Ovi's spot much less having Ovi on third line.

This is a dumpster fire of a roster</div></div>

"Trineyev is far from NHL ready if he will ever be." + "Frank is not a winger and he is barely nhl ready"
You lost almost all your credibility on these 2 statement alone... why? bc you 100% havent watch a single bears game this season or in the playoffs

Frank is lighting it up in the playoffs and had 29 goals in 64gp. One of the fastest players in the AHL. "not NHL ready" based off what? honestly asking.... adds speed and skill to Ovi line which he desperately needs bc hes slow.

3rd round has a ton of talent if you scouted this draft enough. assuming you havent... Nabokov Zetterburg are 2 suppose to go early 3rd.

Ovechkin is 39!!!! yes!!! 39 years old. LOOK AT THIS YEARS PLAYOFFS... if hes on your top line thats a true "dumpster fire of a roster"

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BoringBrianMacLellan</b></div><div>i'm aware lol. A few notes. All of your speed is in the 3rd and 4th line. Those top two lines are terribly slow and would get demolished by younger and faster teams top 6's. Miro would get eaten alive on the fourth line, kid is just too small and skilled for that role. I love Ethen Frank, but they are not handing a 4 year, 5 million dollar deal to a guy that doesn't have a second of NHL time under his belt. Trineyev has been great, but I would bet on guys like Dube, Sutter, Frank, and maybe Cristall getting the nod over him. I know Shepard has been an awesome AHL goalie, but he's 28, he didn't look great in his stint this year, and, just personally as a goalie myself, I don't think his style of goaltending translates well to NHL game speed. I hope I'm wrong and he has a good career, just my opinion.</div></div>

A few notes back

Miro is 6'1 185 lol plays a pretty physical game and Dowds line plays ABOUT 13-15 minutes a night....slightly more than he got playing on other players line.
McM and Protas made Mantha look like a top 6 player and they would be the perfect pairing for Ovechkin.... ALSO guess what? Backstrom... the guy who was our top center.... very slow.
Frank has proven hes an incredible AHL talent.... Can score a lot and is one of the fastest players in the league and if you send him down almost his entire cap hit is buried in AHL... 1.1m of it.
" Trineyev has been great, but I would bet on guys like Dube, Sutter, Frank, and maybe Cristall getting the nod over him." THE IRONY of this Frank 5'10 Dube 5'9 Cristall is a horrible skater and needs at least 1 year in the AHL most likely needs 2. Sutter is the only guy you said that makes sense but he's 24 will be 25 by next year and it would be dumb to prioritize him over Miro
Hunter starts up and if he fails you call up Stevenson..... Stevenson is a rookie and you give Hunter the nod over him and let Stevenson develop more in the AHL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SNipeSHowInc</b></div><div>Funny thing about trades is that when you trade a player away, their cap goes away… everyone has the same salary cap to work with. So quite literally every team has a chance to trade 1 or 2 players away is they wanted to make room for Marner


And as far as Tavares goes like I said, he’s not waiving and he’s not worth 11m, it’s unrealistic to expect a Tavares trade</div></div>

Toronto needs to clear cap to sign " more impactful" players.... So what team has the cap space to take Marner without taking cap back? that was my question... didnt answer it. You said "dog****" but he took on 22m in cap space while not sending you back cap and having you retain. AGAIN there is MASSIVE value in freeing up 22m without taking back cap.

22m can get you

5m Domi
5.5m Bert
6m Skjei
6m Montour

thats 22.5 million in players right there.... makes your team drastically better give or take a million here or there
