Quoting: Smitty426
No it wasn't a slam. I legitimately wanted to know. Sorry should have posed the Q better. I know they took their time with him and he's getting meaningful games. We're a mess, not sure Severson would want to stay. We probably come out of our funk in his walk year. Thx
Thanks for the clarification. Yes Severson is good, but the Leafs aren't really in cap situation where they just keep on obtaining short term veterans and giving up young cheap assets. Same with obtaining McCann over Engvall (and more). Yes McCann is better though I wonder how much since Engvall is playing well in his defensive role. Then how to the Leafs take this additional cap next season.
Liljegren has looked good when he was playing regularly. Then he went on and off the Covid list, and the Leafs had big stretch on no games due to Covid,and Liljegren play declined.
We're find out as the season progresses.....and a real busy schedule after the February 6, but I think the Leafs seven NHL Dmen are fine, and might be together next season too.
Sure it would nice for upgrades.....but at what cost, and the how to work the cap.
By the way, the Devils are one of few teams with cap in the future. If they spend it wisely and with their young guys on modest contracts, IMO the Devils just might get better really soon.
