(sigh)

I hear you.

This is not disrespect to Colton but if the Leafs basically re-sign players to similar contracts for next season then we only can spend around $5 MIL on a RHD and that ices a 20 man roster NOT a 23 man roster.

Parayko simply makes too much money

The following season when Tavares contract is up and comes off the books the Leafs have to re-sign Marner, Knies, McCabe and others as well as sign a 3rd line center with what's left over or Tavares at a much reduced rate.

Things can be bad for two unrelated reasons. I feel ya.

congrats you made a somewhat ok parayko deal. but youre forgetting one key thing... hes a key piece in saint louis and one of our most important players ay the moment. It has to be a deal that we simply cannot refuse. this isnt that deal. niemela, robertsson, and the first are good, but everything else is as worthless to us as it is to you.
