Thread: 11 & 7... A Defence for the idea
Overall the theory makes sense, but watching Tavares almost every game for years he wore down at times late in the year - but that might have to do with him playing the PK after a bunch of injuries. We'll see - playing PP and 5v5 less onerous than PK. I see nYlander pushing for a bridge deal around $7.5. But the problem is (to me) is not questioning the 4C thing, it is questioning its worth in terms of cap - , $11 for 8 (Matthews) you are looking at $30 million for centers - could be brilliant, we'll see. Already, although not in Leaf press which goes between rose colored and outright anger against the team, ,even on Sirius NHL there is commentary that squeezing Nylander after rolling out the new house, the Bentley and champagne for Tavares doesn't contrast well with squeezing Nylaner. They have Nylander over a barrel, let's see if they let it get to camp.

Thread: Clear cap space
1) point was to show Isles can sign a center for $7 million, anyone who thinks these are exact rosters doesn't get it - it's a GM concept idea. Frankly, might be worth a 1 2 3 anyway as they really have zero center support
2) Stop it. Point is they are signing cheap on ELCs.
3) Leddy was arguably the worst defender on the team last year, more than just +/-
4) Again this is a concept - they have to figure out how to get a solid center at a reasonable price. Trading for a first round pick who got better every year for a team that has wing talent and projected to have no center
5) I hope in life you bring solutions not just point errors - I run a pretty large group in a well regarded firm - I fire guys like that all of the time.

Good luck and look forward to see a better way to get centers!
