Thread: Dissapointing FA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>But your point was that ROR wouldn’t have the Toronto pressure walking down the street in Nashville.

Doesn’t matter, leafs had weeks to negotiate and find the price point with ROR and Acciari, and will be hard pressed to find better options for those amounts. And even if I take your word that ROR wanted 30 million to stay in Toronto, is maybe why they should tear it down, if even a player like ROR turn’s mercenary

For all the reasons they were acquired at substantial costs, are the same reasons they’re still needed.</div></div>

There is no logical reason to "tear it down" when the team is consistently in the top 10 year over year , especially with JT money freeing up in 2 years - they have space to sign Matthews and Nylander, along with enough money left over to fill holes. They just got the first round monkey off their back so really there is no logical reason to "tear it down" that's just nonsensical fodder spewed by annoyed prefer to hate fans

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Acciari for 2mil after the year he had is fine, schenn was massively overpaid and had almost a career year but I wouldn’t have met that, ROR at 4.5mil should have been done in a second.

If Murray had been bought out, there’s more than enough for those 2 forwards. Just same old same old, bargain basement acquisitions for a two line offense.

After the price paid at the TDL? Not saying they had to rush in there but they must have known the price point for weeks and couldn’t match that for ROR or Acciari?

And your comment about Nashville? You think that’s why ROR went there? Not very ROR like.</div></div>

Also Tre had nothing to do with the acquisition of ROR, that lies at Dubus feet, and then Dubus got all wonky on if he wanted to be gm or didn't want to be gm and here we are, it's Trelivings team now all the assets lost was Dubus

I don't think that's why ROR chose Nashville, I know that's why he chose Nashville (I grew up 3 farms down from ROR, I know the family quite well, and the price point to keep ROR in Tao was 30 million)
