Exactly - and it’s not like he was showing signs of breaking out. He went from one of the worst forwards in the league to putting up 1C results. If he had 2 years of solid underlying numbers I wouldn’t have cared about giving him the contract but this really was his 1st good year. I would have no problem giving Troy terry the same contract because he was showing signs of breaking out, it was easy to predict


Yeah, it's pretty incomprehensible. As a divisional rival, I hope it comes back to bite them in the ass.

Crazy to think that Terry could have been had like a year and a half ago; I remember them talking about him on Headlines and iirc they said the asking price wasn't all that high. It seemed so obvious that there was a player on the cusp of breaking out - and on a cheap deal, too. Can't believe nobody coughed up for him.

I made an ACGM last offseason where I traded bellows and two 2nds for Terry and was told its an overpay for a 3rd line winger lol. Terry's breakout was so easy to predict. He just needed an increased role with better linemates.

Lol, I know right. I can't tell you how many unposted dream scenario ACGM's I had with the Leafs getting Terry and Bennett.

Calen Addison should make the team now. He's so underrated - I can see him being a guy that will have a reputation of a 2nd pair D but his underlying numbers will show he's a lot better.

If (when) Spurgeon misses any time then he's a better candidate to step up than the other guys

Kerfoot + Holl for Jost to me works as then Toronto can build a 4th line of Jost-Gaudette-Kubel

Personally I’d safely say Addison makes the team, but I also saw Russo say it so that makes me feel comfortable.

I think Minny would save space for TDL over making an unnecessary move. Not hating on Kerfoot or Holl but I’d much rather use the cap on Rossi, Addison, Boldy, even potentially Beckman who all make less than Kerfoot combined per AAV.

Minnesota and Carolina are going to flex their purely stupid drafting value on the league this year and next. They’ve each got an incredibly stupid amount of talent paired with their already contender teams. No one rivals them except the rebuilders.

I mean mean they got Spacek in the fifth paired with Ohgren and Yurov (holy ****) in one round.

I mean Yurov alone makes Wallstedt and Yurov (twenty + overall each) an absurd two years in a row.

Was mainly just memeing but who knows

Honestly I think they did it because they want Rodrigues on a long term deal. Or heck maybe they trade for Kane at 50% ret

Eh, 4Cs are a dime a dozen. Not worth giving up an asset for. Any organization should have like 3 guys that can fill a 4th line role, it’s by far the easiest hole to fill on the entire roster. And you can get decent guys for cheap in free agency to boot (ERod is still out there for example)

I think Minny freed up cap for Rodrigues thats my guess

Unless they decide **** it and trade for Kane thats the only reason's I could see them freeing up cap

But yeah there are so many 4c's still available in FA (Eakin, Bozak, Rask, Richardson, Nash, Gagner, etc) so Jost especially at 2mill probs would get a 4th or be traded in a similar style to how Talbot was
