Wow, you might wanna look for another AGM unless you guys plan on being the Burke and Nonis of this site. Your giving up a draft pick to get rid of a fourth line center in Fehr. Then you turn around and give up prospects to bring in two fourth line centers, poor asset management. So now the leafs are spending over 9 million on its 10-13 forward positions, poor cap management. BTW Nielsen put up 70 points in his last year of junior and 39 points as an AHL rookie. Bryce Salvador put up 40 points in his last year of junior and only 10 points in his first year of the AHL and he was a year older, in 3 AHL seasons he averaged 13 points/season when scoring in the AHL was 20% higher then it is now. Big difference in the way they play the game.

No offense but if he "knows the game" he'd know that Leivo and Leipsic need to clear waivers to go to the Marlies (both will get claimed), and it's not likely at all that Sosh or Kap get sent down after their time in the NHL unless they have a poor training camp. The Leafs are also not deep at center or defense so trading a couple of their top prospects at each position doesn't make sense. I think you value faceoffs too much (I know Babs likes good faceoff guys so I won't be hard about that) . The signings are close to fair value but I'm not a fan of the Polak or Smith getting term.</div></div>

See above.

Thread: Toronto OVERHAUL!
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_cap</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ACLeafs</b></div><div>Ughhh you managed to make the Leafs worse. If the Leafs were to sign Ben Smith to a league minimum contract I would be disappointed, over the summer they should be able to find someone better then him. Kalinin was literally a move to help the Marlies, he is basically a fringe player who will be most likely be back in the KHL next year, not sure why the Leafs would give him a raise and a two year contract. The leafs should not retain any money on JVR no matter what the trade.</div></div>

I don't think I made them worse at all. Your opinion isn't very validated. I just signed Ben Smith because he was on the Leafs roster. I'm sure they can sign someone better. Kalinin's move was to be made with the Marlies. The Leafs will be just fine with retaining his contract because it's only a year left. Just look at the Kessel deal. If they want a better return then they will have to retain some of his contract.</div></div>

Kessel was making 8 million a season, JVR makes almost half that. Girgensons is an RFA, since there is no trade I am assuming offer sheet, I think the Sabres would match that. In your current lineup, you are replacing JVR with Leivo and Nylander with Kapanen, JVR and Nylander are then better players, hence weaker lineup. Bowey is a decent prospect but he is yet to play a single NHL game, so to plug him in with Rielly on the 1st d pair is a huge over assumption of his skill.
