Quoting: Dragongrave
Leivo isn't eligible. Fehr is who the team is aiming for Vegas to take.
Vlasic isn't the top defenseman that the Leafs need, has a no trade, and is going to want too much money.
Not sure why they would want JVR in return. I don't get why you're giving Sosh away for a pick, he has more value on your team especially on the 4th line.
You dump Marincin and Marcheynko for nothing for no reason.
As well you're another person who over values players for 1 year of service time, and you value "hustle" over "talent" which means you are more worried about try hard people over actual TALENTED players.
I don't get why when someone is an RFA and only has 1 year of service time you would give them so much money. How many players regress after their first year? MOST.
Leivo is eligible , do some research. I would think Vegas would want a young player with upside over Fehr.
I was not saying Vlasic should be their target, I think it should be Trouba, but Im not sure they want to give up that package. Vlasic was just speculated and I was simply stating it would be a good addition. San Jose may be losing Marleau and Thornton or both potentially, may want to get younger up front. Not much out there in terms of UFA this summer.
Soshnikov is terrible, he got passed by Kapanen and has little value to the organization anymore only in a trade, he does not fit the lineup anymore. He was decent on the PK but Kapanen proved he was just as good there.
Marincin is junk and the team would be lucky to get anything to get rid of his contract. Marchenko is not waiver exempt so I suggested getting something for him as I don't think he will be in future plans.
I value a young player who has worked his ass off and had a great year, and can be a valuable member of the team with a cap friendly deal over a bridge contract. I assume you mean Hyman and Brown. Brown on a 3 mil cap hit might be a little steep next season but will prove great a couple years from now. Hyman maybe a little overpaid as well but he worked well with Matthews and can start playing there until an upgrade is found and he can be pushed back down the line where he belongs, on the bottom 6. Teams do not assume their young RFAs will regress, young hockey players usually PROGRESS, and MOST players do not regress after their first year, that statement is ludicrous.
Ive seen you trashing a lot of peoples ideas in the comments, stop being a shithead keyboard warrior and provide something constructive, what are you best friends with Dubas or Hunter or someone in the organization? Get a life dude, its just fellow leafs fans having fun with some ideas to improve the team on an awesome season. Douche bag.
