Thread: Crazy ridiculous but hes going east in a couple yrs anyway

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>I dont think hes under rated, hes properly rated. Gaudreau is a great offensive talent but you saw first hand what happens to him when the stage is the biggest and physicality has ramped up in the palyoffs, he shuts down and doesnt make an impact. 1 point in 5 games last years first round exist, 2 points in a 4 game sweep exit the time before that, no goals.

He hasnt proven hes a big time player that can drive a team deep into the playoffs. Talented in the regular season but easily contained in the playoffs, lacks mental toughness to fight through playoff hockey</div></div>

Or you're just superoverrating a tiny sample size. You can find series where any player was terrible. Has happened to Crosby, Ovechkin, whomever. Your judging a guy based on 9 games. If rather judge the guy based on the fact that he's 9th in points in the last two years (2nd for LW, 4th for wingers in general).

Thread: Crazy ridiculous but hes going east in a couple yrs anyway

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>The idea that Philadelphia would pay more than Travis Konecny and a first for Johnny Gaudreau seems laughable to me.</div></div>

Gaudreau is so underrated its crazy.

Everyone realizes he is better than Marner for example and signed to a darling, admittedly somewhat short, contract?

Thread: cap issues

There are cap issues. Fortunately it's not quite as bad as this as Dermott/Hyman will either be on LTIR or in the line up and then one player in the lineup will be in the AHL.

With them in the line up and minus say Shore and Marincin they would have 1.45 mil less against the cap and "only" be over by about 1.4 million

With them out of the line up and on LTIR they would be in the positive

Thread: What LaineConner should get after Boeser deal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>Those numbers only matter if they improve year after year. Right?</div></div>

We don't have year after year data. We have 3 years which are essentially 2.5 years of ALL TIME GREAT goal scoring and 1/2 a year of eh goal scoring.

I don't know what to do with it either but acting like the Boeser contract really changes the situation is kidding ourselves.

My outlook is the only thing to do is give him a short bridge, like 7 mil *2 years. Let him prove which player is the real deal.

If he's this generations Ovi, then he'll get his money in two years.

If he's this generations Jimmy Carson then he'll show himself and get paid as such then.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MJC13</b></div><div>Ehlers isn't his comparable anymore, its guys in the same tier that signed this year, like Meier and Boeser.</div></div>

BS. He out produced a guy who is comparable but worse on his team who signed a contract w couple years ago. It's a perfect comparison. This isn't a winger to a C to a defenseman or something.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bunzy1034</b></div><div>Laine shouldnt get higher than 6.5 on a three year deal based on Boeser. If will get 7-7.5 on a 7 or 8 year deal</div></div>

Friendly reminder. Laine is 4th ALL TIME in goals by 20 and 3rd ALL TIME in goals by 19.

Thread: What LaineConner should get after Boeser deal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MJC13</b></div><div>I think Connor will (and should) get a deal similar to Boeser and Meier, so 3-4 years at no more than 6 mil AAV. Laine is much harder to predict, his last year wasn't great, so the Jets could believe they can get him on a short "prove it" contract, but his full body of work (110 goals already in his career) warrants a bigger contract</div></div>

I don't see how Connor accepts less than Ehlers who he outperformed through their ELCs.

Thread: Barrie gets the Spurgeon deal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>No, he doesn't. His contract is for $7.5MM per year, front-loaded. The cap hit changes because he signed after the first year started. My point is that Dubas should have signed him for $500,000 less (AAV) and gotten him on the ice in November, not December. Nylander's cap hit is not what he gets in real dollars each year.</div></div>

His cap hit is all that matters to us fans. It's all that matters to signing others as above

Thread: Barrie gets the Spurgeon deal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Once again we see the adverse effect of overpaying Marner and Nylander. If those two worthies had been inked at a more reasonable $9MM and $7MM, there would be room for two more entry-level contracts and Toronto would have a 23-man roster even paying Barrie $7.5MM. Pay Muzzin $5.5MM instead and there is room for <strong>FOUR</strong> ELC's.</div></div>

Nylander makes less than 7 million....

Thread: Post-Marner Cap Situation

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmurrayt</b></div><div>My thoughts:

Cap will likely not go up next year, talk is it will stagnant for next 2 years.
DeMelo likely will get much higher offers than 2.6
They will not bring back Sparks. That ship has sailed.
With little cap space available for 21-22 season and a needing 7 more players to make a minimum roster , you will not be able to re-sign Andersen. You will be forced to go with 2 fairly cheap goalies, not the best scenario for a young, fairly inexperienced defense.</div></div>

I suspect cap will continue to go up in small amounts like this 2ish million per year instead of the 5 we've often seen.

Cap situation looks a lot better when we recognize an 8 million dollar defenseman (Barrie) is a luxury we can't afford

Thread: Everybody hurts sometimes namely Dermott and Hyman

Also I think unless Sandin and liljegren blow everyone's socks off at camp they are sent down together to develop a little more.

I think the 3rd pairing will be Harpur/Marincin/Schmaltz maybe Kivilhalme.

Thread: Everybody hurts sometimes namely Dermott and Hyman

If you're not playing Mikheyev he goes to the Marlies as his cap hit is fairly high for an ELC. No point having it on the bench.

Thread: Leafs next year Not much RFA drama

I suspect Ceci wouldn't want to take an aav cut to stay.

I figure he either isn't that good and is let go, or he is and signs at or above his aav.

I don't think Weber is an upgrade on an AHL/NHL tweener. I wouldn't waste the 700k to sign him over one of our prospects.

Holl does not deserve much over league minimum. He isn't an every day NHLer. He is a good guy to have in the press box to spot you games for injuries to short for IR but who's development you aren't afraid of stunting by keeping him out of games. I know it's only like 250k extra, but frankly I just don't see him deserving it.

If Dermott agrees to that contract he's had a terrible year.

Thread: If Ceci proves himself worthy of an extension

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>If ceci proves good (and you better be sure it is my just a desperation season) I think you give him that deal. Maybe even 5m on a longer term if you can get it.but you gotta be sure.</div></div>

This is the whole point of this post. Barrie I think will price himself our of the Leafs hands. Muzzin may be affordable but will be like 31. If Ceci proves himself and can be signed for term at 2nd pairing money (read 4-5 million) to be a reliable 20-22 minute RD I think it may make sense.

But it's all on how he does this year with a reliable d partner.

Thread: Leafs w some size amp grit for Babs once Dermott amp Hyman off IR

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>borealis</b></div><div>Don't get me wrong. I too like Moore.
Just saying that Leafs don't have a legit shutdown line of 'big bodies' - to balance their small/skilled guys in ultimate showdown against Western conference. Personally, I might slot Moore in on 4th Line, where I show Hyman, and seek to trade Hyman & Bracco & pics now (i.e. to Anaheim? Carolina?) for a top 4D.</div></div>

There is no such thing as a line of big bodies for that point in today's NHL. You either have size in your lineup or you don't. Making a line specifically for that won't get you anywhere.

He's played 3 seasons and been injured in two of them. Not the third. 2 is pretty minimal for a pattern
