TML 2019 turns out Ceci isnt the unbrushed gem

Just taking precautions....

I think with the amount of young Dmen in the system we will find something that works. I know dubas doesn’t want to rush prospects, and rightfully so, but there has to be one that can jump in.

Rielly/Dermott on second pair Borgman or marincin/??? On third pair and give those top two pairs big time minutes. Thinks the leafs would be okay in that respect.

The trades aren’t a horrible idea... but I don’t think honka is waivers exempt.

Considering the contract stalemate; I was looking at Ferris's clients past contracts. All of his major recent contracts for RFA's have been 2-3 years (after lengthy stand-offs).
I think Marner is getting a 2-3 year bridge and that we should be using that 2-3 year projected contract for him going forwards.
Bennett: 2@1.950
Anderson: 3@1.850
Athanasiou: 2@3.000
Hall: 7@6.000
Bogo: 7@5.142 875
Nieto: 2@1.975

I like it ? but I don't think Honka, costs a 3rd. Maybe Holl, and a 5th, something like that? What do you think of Petan, Holl and a 2nd for Janmark (retained) and Honka?

Your right, about the amount of young D. But one has too take precaution with the expansion draft coming up (referring too Liligren and Sandin even Bracco). I believe the reason most put Muzzin and Berrie as the top paring and Reilly and Ceci second, is because though Reilly > than Muzzin, Berrie >>>>>>>> Ceci. However I'm with you I still think Babs puts Reilly and Ceci as top paring and Muzzin and Berrie as second (although based on ice time won't really matter much).
