I don't get why people over pay backups, just for the sake of over paying. If he was good enough he would be a 1B starter, not a full time backup. You can get Curtis for $750K less and get the same production level. Remember his numbers are because of him playing with the Devils.

Don't put them on LTIR because you skew your numbers, that's all. Makes it seem like you have tons of cap space.

You trade a total of ELEVEN PLAYERS. That's a lot no matter what. No team trades a total of 11 players/prospects plus 3 picks in one off season. That would be a record.

I doubt Daley is going to take a 1 year deal.</div></div>


Really? You think a backup who can play 20 games isn't important? That's 1/4 of the regular season? GM Treliving said on TSN radio this morning that Johnson basically saved their season.

And technically I do have that cap space available if we need it

Phaneuf trade was a 9 player trade so can't see why 11 is such a big deal, Marchenko is taken in draft, Marincin move is to clear roster spot but he could stay on the team if your buthurt about it, Leafs have unprecedented amount of NHL ready forwards so expect them to have to move a lot to get the value out

Daley is 33 who only played 56 games this year, definitely not getting a long term deal if that's what your referring to.</div></div>

I'm not arguing that you have the cap space, just saying it is an unnecessary use of it.

Tell me how many 9 player trades have been done since the installation of the cap. I think that ist he most.

I think Daley will get 2 for sure without a problem. Maybe an option. He has history. It all depends on the amounts. I think Polak and Hunwick bring more to the table than Daley and both will come at significant reductions in cost.

Remember, once Marner, Matthews and Nylander get their extensions you will have to get used to finding players on cheap contracts. May as well start it now instead of later.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFan</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dragongrave</b></div><div>Too many trades, reworked way too much of the team. As well you won't get any cap relief from either play because you're not over the cap. Final note is that you pay a backup goalie almost $2M which is a gross overpayment.

No team is going to make SIX trades in the off season.</div></div>

Here's why I have a problem with your comment: You gave me 1 star based on the following merits:
- I paid a REALLY GOOD BACKUP 1.75million, for comparison Chad Johnson made 1.7 - this is a dumb complaint on your end
-You gave me crap for having 2 players on LTIR even when it doesn't affect my AGM AT ALL, literally add their 10+ million caps and I'm still below - DUMB complaint
-You make it seem like I traded away the whole team, 1 trade is a simple moving up in the draft, one is moving a player for a potential 7th round pick, which leaves me with 4 other trades and seeing as this offseason features an expansion draft I don't think FOUR TRADES in an offseason is out of this world</div></div>
