<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Night in and night out ozhiganov has been solid and continues to look better. I hope by next year he will be as confident as he was in the khl. Faulk is not the best in his own end and zaitsev is. I don’t see these moves as complimentary... keep gardiner move zaitsev. Losing our 2 best penalty killers also may not help us much next season.

These are the types of smaller moves I like. If you like big moves that won’t happen... I think this team wins a cup

In fairness, I think the team is already pretty much there. I really just think we are one small piece on D away. And youre right Faulk isnt that guy, but i dont think mayfield is either

Thread: Fixing Edmonton
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>smokewiseganja</b></div><div>The oilers are fine with keeping kris russell. He's a solid defensive top 4 guy now, maybe not completely worth his contract, but worth enough of it. That trade with the kings is too risky for the oilers, and while puljujarvi may work out later, no team wants to pay for him. I personally think he'll work out, probably in 2 years or so. Remember, he's only 20. So many guys in the NHL break out later in their careers. and yeah, that saros trade is laughable. Nashville sees him as their future starter.</div></div>

Im just worred with Puljujarvi... no offense, Edmonton has a horrible track record at drafting high and having player flame out. I hope he does too, cause hes a great guy but he NEEDS to get it going ASAP

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I seem to one of few Leaf fans who think some high priced forward....I have targeted Nylander as someone who has to be traded this summer. Leafs get cap relief to spend on a good NHL Dmen...if only for a short term help. Sandin and Liljegren looks like NHLers in 2020/21. You're right about Marleau, all the pouting doesn't move from from his Leafs and his NMC. The only reason he could be traded if he knows his skills has diminished so much and he decides to retires. Then he his last year of cap could be traded.
CapFriendly77. See you are new to this site. CapFriendly fans always welcome passionate discussion. Hope you enjoy our nuttiness too.</div></div>

Ill be honest, im not new but my old account was deleted and havent posted in here since 2017.
But I agree with the Nylander thing but i CANT see dubas trading Nylander even though he is having a rough year. Does trading him make the most sense? Yes it does but he is an elite talent when he is going.
and I think Liljegren could be more of a depth guy who comes in when needed. I wont lie im very surprised with Sandin and how well he has done. I can see him being a great leafs D for many years to come .

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>"First thing first, we need to assume players are willing to take a pay cut until Patricks 6.25 comes off the books next year." I wouldn't assume that at all. Why should some players who have made under 3 million in their careers sacrifice because Marleau has made 49m in his career.
Holl and Liljegren in the top. six? Two short on the roster and no cap. Cap is a premium for most teams, and to pass off 4.5m Zaitsev without money being returned, might really be difficult.</div></div>

I completely agree, the issue is marleu has a no trade clause and would be tough/ impossible to move because he wants to win a cup. I think Lijergren is ready for a step to top 6 but noting higher truthfully. And i think Zaitsev deal could be done with the right team. The Leafs will be fine for cap in the 20-21 season, its this season that they will struggle to form their team.
