But full retain and Vitek is shaky and Sammy is good.


full retention's gonna make it hella expensive. Price at 5.25 is a fair contract (I'm thinking he's worth 7.5, but i doubt others feel the same) but MTL retaining 5.25M for 5 years is a very big yikes.
i'd imagine if MTL is moving price half retained they're gonna be trying to get Lapierre at the minimum, plus a few valuable pieces

This is such a tired argument and I never see it used for any players besides Toronto ones.

Because there aren't many top-heavy teams lol, any LW would do good with Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares

While I do tend to agree that they are playing with super stars and could feast on points - Ritchie has been dog water there; and then everywhere else kinda. So you can’t just be some whatever guy and feast on points. Cause Bunting is the only guy to really stick.

Bunting and Hyman have player profiles which let them mesh well with top end players. Both are fast and gritty.

Ritchie takes a whole shift to get out of a zone, which is why he didn't work with them.

@Bobcat205 Bemstrom off IR and sent down, i think CBJ should consider trading him at this point, he's stuck behind so many players, also Tarasov called up due to Merz and Korpi having a non-Covid illness

I think we could get something good from him (Defensive prospect and/or high mid-round pick).

Honestly on the 4th line Ritchie despite the cap hit works. He hits, makes some plays, pisses off the opponents and just does things

After all that Mic'd up Marchand trip was pretty funny wink

When Mikheyev comes back got a feeling Liligren goes to the Marlies and Engvall is the extra as rn with the way he has played someone will snag him which we dont want rn.

Look at the guys who have auditioned:
Andreas Johnsson +
Zach Hyman +
Connor Brown =
Patrick Marleau -
Joe Thornton -
Nick Foligno -
Nick Ritchie -
Micheal Bunting +
Alex Kerfoot +

Hyman was the best. Brown was let go just before he went off. I actually really like Johnnson in the top 6. Marleau had 1 great year. Thornton and Folingo were busts.
Bunting has been the perfect Hyman replacement. Kerfoot is a natural LW and should never be a C again. At least not on this team. He has paried so well with Tavares and Nylander.

My hope is Dubas is able to acquire a top LW for this group. They are flying right now but adding a legit LW at the deadline could very well put them over the top.
