Yeah, I saw that. The way Delta V is taking off now, I don't blame him for not wanting to risk getting blocked by border restrictions again this season.

Flip Dermott for a bag of pucks, and after an injury or 2 Leafs have rookies playing top 4 min.

Not a big fan of that scenario.

Yeah, he takes the bargain deal.

I'm assuming he was getting tired of being a suitcase and gave up some $$ for term.

If $$ was the biggest factor he probably could have got Cole $$ or close to it.

Thread: I take it back

Agreed, I have flipped as well.

And it's not even as much about the Holl the player. For me it's more about the fact that Leafs have a $2M 20+ min per night RHD.

What would it cost in assets or $$ to fill that spot if needed?

I wouldn't be shocked if Bogosian get $2M+ within the next couple of days.

This is what happens for injuries in-season.

Doesn't apply to a situation like this.

LTIR is not a get out of jail free card. If it worked this way every rich team would be $25m over the cap each season.

Tampa will be Seabrooks contract above the cap, then they LTIR him to be cap compliant. That's it.

The reason it was such a big deal with Kucherov is he came back and played after the cap didnt apply in the playoffs.

That obviously will not be the case with Seabrook.

So $7M to overpay on 27-30 yo UFA players > 24/25 yo Mitch Marner?

Leafs are way better off just keeping marner then moving him with retention.

No chance Leafs retain $2M+ for 4 years.

So you would consider $7M in capspace as the only "asset" left over 1 year after trading a perennial 90pt 24 yo after a win for the Leafs?

Your team turns into the Buffalo Sabres if you cycle through GMs every 3 years.

Cherry picking one GM that has had some playoff success in the same amount of time is a pretty funny argument, and completely overlooks any other factor (such as playoff opponents, age of team, etc.).

I'll be pretty pissed and disappointed if the the Leafs lose this series, but to say "Dubas spent three years trying to build a team" is the type of thinking that leads to Buffalo Sabres situations.

Thread: Lines if Foligno is healthy for tomorrow

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigDaddyOvech</b></div><div>I'd be ok with leaving 2nd line as is and play foligno between mikey and wayne train. Engvall has looked good to me and is a good skater. Put him between jumbo and spezza to add speed and just let Spezza take draws.</div></div>

Yeah, I just worry about secondary scoring in that situation.

Mikey - no 5v5 offence
Foligno - 5v5 offence when playing with Am34 & Marner
Simmonds - no 5v5 offence
Jumbo - no 5v5 offence
Engvall - no 5v5 offence
Spezza - decent 5v5 offence

I'm not sure if Foligno is good enough offensively to get any production from Simmonds (Mikey is hopeless at this point)
Engvall helps that 4th line, but doesn't really make them more dangerous to score

Galchenyuk on the 4th line could make them a legit scoring threat, and leaves the 3rd line as a "hopefully control the play more than 50% line".

You could also play this 4th line (with Galch) a bit more if you are behind.

Also at some point soon Tavares will be back, so L2 will look different eventually.

Thread: Lines if Foligno is healthy for tomorrow

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MatthewsDynasty</b></div><div>well we want to get there also</div></div>

IMO, I'm fine with Kerfoot up the middle, he's been playing/skating well and he knows Nylander's tendencies. Nylander tends to get drifting in the D-zone quite a bit and if the C is not as familiar that can cause some confusion (think it helped lead to a goal against in Gm 2). Foligno doesn't have to worry about that as much if he's LW. And if he's still nursing that injury a bit, he likely doesn't rack up as many KMs on LW.

Thread: Lines if Foligno is healthy for tomorrow

That 4th line has not worked, not enough speed.

Don't need a pure checking line vs Mtl.

Galchenyuk has only had one good game, don't think he's cemented a spot in the top 6.

I'd throw Foligno on to L2, keep L3 the same, and put Galch with Jumbo and Spezza. Galch (more speed and creativity) and Spezza could create some magic vs weaker comp.

Toronto even without Tavares and Foligno have been the clearly better team, not much to worry about.

So if the Leafs win Rd 1 they don't do this trade?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan416</b></div><div>Good call with Foligno up with Kerfoot and Nylander. He never really found any chemistry with JT and Willy but maybe with Kerfoot in the middle could be different. Agree with changing up the 4th line.

Yeah. I think Galch and Spezza can create some magic together vs weaker competition. Also, playing Jumbo with 2 shooters would hopefully jumpstart his game again.

The way Nylander is playing right now, it's a good time to try Foligno there. Nylander is looking dangerous with Engvall and Mikheyev (when he's getting double shifted), surely Foligno can chip in a bit with him, and Kerfoot has certainly earned that 2C spot until Tavares is back.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 28 at 10:06

Thread: Two changes for Game 6

Would be nice if Foligno was good to go.

I'm thinking Dermott gets in tomorrow.

With Foligno I'd go

Hyman-AM34-Marner (hyman starting to look healthier now, hoping this trio has break-out game)
Foligno-Kerfoot-Nylander (Galch has been fine, but I think this trio would be a little more def reliable, and still provide some offence)
Soup-Engvall-Simmonds (if it ain't broke)
Galch-Thornton-Spezza (Galch provides more speed and creativity with these two, when Simmonds has been here they have not done much. If these 3 looked good, this could be the 4th line for awhile)
