No need to buy Halak, He's playing in the minors. If anything NYI should be calling Toronto saying please take him we'll give you a second. (Leafs have no reason to trade JVR)
I think Boyle is looking for closer to 2.5-3 mill to be a solid high end 3rd line center.
Penguins have no reason to trade away Olli Maatta the guy is a freaking beauty. Bozak and Marincin aren't enough for him.
No way any of the Leafs rookies would sign low money long term deals.
Alzner is not worth 5*6 in any universe. Long short term 4 million but he's just a top 4 d-man.
Anyways Nice wishful thinking but not a chance.
Halak is to offset value, I wasn't sure how valuable Beauviller is, and didn't want to piss any Islanders fans off, but the Leafs do have a reason, unless they sign him to an extension than he could walk, I would rather get young assets than nothing.
And if that's the case he can walk, we have plenty of options with Fehr and call ups.
Penguins DO have a reason, expansion draft, they'll have to choose 2/3 of Dumoulin, Schultz and Maatta and I think they let Maatta walk with how well the first two are doing.
I really hope they can, Brown and Hyman are Toronto Natives, and are very loyal to TO. Could see them signing a Calle Jarnkrok deal with a bit more money.
People go up and down on Alzner all the time, SportsNet said he could be bargaining 6x6 so I went off of that, but you need to remember those types still get good money, look at Jeff Petry he signed a what 6x5.5 deal?
