There’s a lot of 3rd line guys on the market still available . Kinda funny . There are the guys that want 3 x 3 type deals but they’re not getting it


Apart from Anaheim, Buffalo and Arizona, there really isn’t any cap space left to make any signings.
Feel like this is one of the strangest periods I’ve ever experienced as an NHL watcher, apart from the COVID shutdown.
Uncanny to say the least.

Guys like Donato, Milano, Kessel, Dahlen, Rodrigues are all sitting there wondering where the contracts are at. They’ll probably all end up on 1 year deals for 1-2 mil

I imagine that a lot of them are waiting on where the big name FA's will fall.

Anyone know what LA’s doing at forward? They have wayyyyy too many forwards, they’re going to have to move some of their younger guys because someone’s growth will be stunted. Kopitar, Fiala, Kempe, Moore, Danault, Arvidsson, Iafallo, Byfield, Kaliyev, Grundstrom, Lizotte, Lemieux, Vilardi, Andersson, Turcotte, Kupari, Anderson-Dolan, Fa*emo, Wagner, Madden and the list goes on


My untouchables would be
Kopitar, Fiala, Danault, Arvidsson, Byfield, Kaliyev

Hard to let go but would for the right price
Kempe, Moore, Iafallo, Lizotte, Trucotte.

Guys I would trade away to make space for young guys
Lemieux, Grundstrom, Anderson

Guys who should be in the NHL.
Vilardi, Kupari, Anderson-Dolan, F*gemo.

Guys who can be in the AHL or Junior for 1 more year.
Wagner, Madden


I would trade a couple of guys away and try and get a goalie for the future.


They also have a bit 2 many RD's which is crazy. I think Doughty, Durzi, Roy, Spence, Helge Grans, and Clarke is a little 2 many NHL or Future NHL RD's to have in the system. Wonder if the Sabres could make a trade that got them one of the younger RD's like Helge Grans and traded Portillo to the kings, giving them a #1 Goalie of the future and the sabres some more RD depth in our prospect pool.

He will get plenty of interest, after the bigger names are gone most likely

Even then, that’s 15 Forward who you think should get an NHL shot and 7 of them are very young, that’s a logjam if I’ve ever seen one, something has to budge lol

24 points in 53 games is decent for a young player. i think he's probably just a headache off the ice.

Eh probably, but he also doesn’t (or at least didn’t, I obviously haven’t seen him play in years) do anything else on the ice. Not good enough offensively to earn a top 6 role, not enough dimensions to his game to earn a bottom 6 role.

A piece of my soul dies whenever I see this perfectly normal Swedish surname not clearing the profanity filter. 😭

Everyone's waiting for Kadri lul

As if we look

Donato, Milano, Dahlen, Heinen, Rodrigues, Stasney, all still available because this man be to slow to sign with a new team

If Toronto can make room one of Rodrigues, Heinen, or Milano would be nice

Reilly tax.

Also, surprised to see Holl up there with the way Leafs fans cannot contain themselves to unload him in each and every agm.

68 points is enough for me to be ok with that tax.

100% Holl is very underappreciated.

just want you guys to know there's an acgm which involves a three team toews trade between toronto-anaheim-chicago, and it's resulted in leafs fans arguing over burner accounts and a rangers fan getting horny.

haven't been on acgm a lot recently so i'd appreciate some advice on if this is par for the course

If there is a 3 team trade to be had why go for Toews who looks done for the man who will pass the torch to Matthews, Patrick Kane should be guy we go after.

Matthews and Kane playing together outside the obvious Olympics, WC or whatever would be something to see and I got a feeling would be terrifying.

Some people just see the guy with the C and go gimmie when its the other guy you should be going for as Kane still got some juice left

I made the ACGM. Kane is absolutely the better player but Toews is exactly what the Leafs need. Offensive talent is the thing we are not short on

Maybe they should pair him with Rielly; put Muzzin-Brodie together and then let the two young guys develop on the 3rd pair. Save Giordano as a rotational piece/7th blueliner.

Ship out Kerfoot who is easier to replace and fixes their cap situation better anyway. To Chicago for example for Kurashev; along with some draft capital.

Lou signing a 31 year old C till he is 37-38 seems about right

who do they move. they only have $4.8m to do dobson and romanov. even then that only gets them to 21 men.

edit: nm it's $11.2m. not sure what i was looking at.
