<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bhunt333</b></div><div>insane how stupid some of you guys are, muzzin LTIR , the leafs are currently cap compliant. Im just gonna let you guys watch how things actually play out in real life and stop wasting my time explaining something so simple to people who genuinely think they are GMs on here</div></div>

Ironic that you are calling me stupid, but you can't do basic math.

I know this is hard for you since you don't have enough fingers to count this high but I will try and dumb it down for you.

The Leafs are over the cap by $8,831,450, Muzzin's hit is $5,625,000... so now let's do the math Einstein, you can use a calculator if you need to.

8,831,450
- 5,625,000
==========
3,206,450

That means after Muzzin is on LTIR the Leafs are still over the cap by $3,206,450... that is with a 23-man roster and Samsonov not yet signed. For arguments sake, let's say Samsonov only gets $3 million in arbitration (he will get more), now you are over the ca by $6,206,450

I stated you needed to sign your starting goalie, and shed 5-8 million, I hate to break it to you, but you haven't signed your starting goalie and 6 is between 5 and 8.

Now ask yourself again, who's stupid?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>Lol what a terrible attempt at proving your point. Brodie was hurt last year but is a top pair defensive defenceman while Zadorov is a 3rd pair guy. Cool he scored goals on a completely unsustainable shooting percentage. Using points and goals for a defenceman that'll never again score the same is ridiculous.</div></div>

If you only read goals and points that's your fault... there is all the pts/60, fenwick, corsi, Zadorov started in the Dzone more often, significantly better point share at both ends of the ice, Zadorov costs less, Zadorov is younger, Zadorov isn't coming off his wost season as a pro. Brodie played 3 minutes more per night, if that's what you are calling a 1st pairing d man you're out of your mind.

Thread: Josh Anderson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>Elliot Friedman has talked about it multiple times on his 32 thoughts podcast, Pierre Lebrun wrote about it in the Athletic, Frank Serivalle has wrote about it for TSN, Darren Dreger has brought it up in TSN panels, Sam Constantine has wrote about it on his website.

Can't really link anything because I haven't saved any of them and don't want to fish around to find them. Point is, it's been pretty openly talked about among media insiders and confirmed by MTLs GM.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>To my knowledge there has never been an article about Josh Anderson being a negative asset and nobody is sharing relevant sources to support that either.

Is it so hard to believe that multiple GMs would be interested in a player with his combination of size and speed? We know those are the most (over?)valued traits even in the absence of strong numbers. We see it every year.</div></div>

Weird because I listen to every one of Elliot's pods and never once heard him mention trade interest in Anderson.
I also have seen Josh Anderson on multiple worst contracts lists on the athletic and bleacher report.
And miraculously I actually have LINKS to show these. Unlike the claims habs fans constantly make.

Thread: Moving Kerf
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>Not a chance.

And why do you say Tomasino "had a tough finish to last year" -- I don't really see that. He had 7 points in his final 15 games and played in 3/4 playoff games as a rookie. I'm not sure I would expect much more than that. And you're calling out the recent signings/trades as to why NSH would be interested here, but that's exactly why they wouldn't. <strong>They don't have the cap space anymore to add $5m+ in Kerfoot and Holl,</strong> even if they wanted to. Tomasino is more valuable in terms of potential and contract to NSH-- they won't be trading him either way though.</div></div>

Cap space won't be an issue, once NSH trades Sissons and Borowiecki to CAR for Seth Jarvis. Based on the trade here, that's the going rate for young top six forwards apparently. :sarcasm
