Thread: Realistic off-season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>I will be the only Sabre ACGM to like this proposal.
Replace Der-Arguchintsev, Semyon with Joseph Duszak and add Holl, Justin to the trade.

As a leafs fan I’d do that. Benefits leafs by freeing up 5.8M in cap. Buffalo gets a middle 6 Winger, 3rd, C tier prospect, bottom pairing D and a goalie who could bounce back if he can find a way to stay healthy. I mean ya if I’m Buffalo I’m eating that up.
Mrázek,
Duszak
Holl
Kase
2022 3rd round pick (WPG)
To Buffalo for 2022 6th round pick (BUF)
Please provide your assessment and recommendation, as I combined your two trades.</div></div>

Thread: Bulking up the LW
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Quillanrocks</b></div><div>Let's pretend Seattle doesn't make Kerfoot's 10-team no trade that kicks in next week . . . . . . OK, now, with all the possibilities that might be available to the Kraken given their abundance of draft picks and cap space, why would they use their second highest pick in this draft, AND a 3rd next season, to acquire AK?</div></div>

Solid player. Definitely worth a 2nd and another mid round pick. 3rd may be a little too much but if it’s not Seattle paying that price, someone will. A versatile player who can play C or W puts up 50+ points, kills penalties. I for one like Kerfoot just seems to be a lot of rumours about him being moved. And considering Seattle would’ve taken him from the leafs if they didn’t make that McCann deal with pits thought it made some sense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DougieGilmour</b></div><div>Marner’s contract is a good 2 million or more over what he’s worth. Matthews is not McDavid and although he isn’t overpaid by much he’s still a bit overpaid. Tavares never should have been signed. I like him but you can’t pay two centres 11 million plus a year. Nylander’s deal is the only one that’s good.

Now onto more stupid management of money… signing Mrazek was beyond stupid. Should have went after a cheaper goalie knowing Campbell’s contract only had one more year. Overpaying Rielly next year is only going to kill our cal even more. We have to find a way now to move Muzzin or Brodie. Kerfoot isn’t overpaid but I’d love to have Kadri as a second line centre for a few million less than Tavares makes.</div></div>

So many hind sight Henry’s on this site… like u can’t tell me when JT was signed u were like “that was a dumb decision… why would they sign a top 10 C in the league while he’s in his prime?”. In terms of Marner, he should have taken the 10mx8 that was offered but 900k is not a ball busting amount of money. And too your second point Ritchie is gone so idk why u still talking about that. Mrazek is easily moveable in the off-season, never really like the signing either tbh. But ur whining for the sake of whining. Bet u were praising Dubas when the leafs were rolling into December. Campbell will get back to form and everything will be fine. No need to panic brother.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DougieGilmour</b></div><div>Washington didn’t sign their core to idiotic contracts</div></div>

Which contract is idiotic… Matthews easily could have gotten mcdavid money if he signed 8 years. JT was offered 2-3M more in NYI and SJ yet took a pay cut. Nylander got what he deserved in the 11th hour. Look at comparable contracts (pastrnak, gaudreau, etc) a season before Nylander signed. Nylander put up a higher ppg then all comparable and had better underlying numbers. Not to mention the cap also jumped 1-2M therefore the percentage of the cap is the same/lower when signed. Marner’s contract was the slightest of overpayments. Realistically I also think he should have gotten only 10-10.5m when you compare him to guys like kucherov and the 9.5 he got. But it boils down to kucherov lives in a tax free state while Marner lives in Ontario where he is taxed just over 50% by the province. So what contract are u talking about. The leafs realistically got screwed by the cap staying flat as the cap was projected to go up 1.5-2.5m every year for the next 5 years before the pandemic hit

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CanucksDecline</b></div><div>how many times are they going to keep running it back with no success? I understand that they are still young but still, there comes a point where change is needed.</div></div>

If you think about all the “failures” of the past 5 years their has actually only been 2. CBJ and MTL. Caps we had no business being in that series, BOS the 1st time same thing. BOS the 2nd time I would say BOS were slight favourites going in and then became heavier favourites once the leafs only advantage (depth at centre) was taken away by yet another Kadri suspension. You can argue Anderson has to make a few more big saves but at the end of the day still were the underdogs bc of Kadri.

Now CBJ is a different story. Leafs just got goalied. Merz and Korp put up the one of the best save percentage in a series in NHL history.

MTL Campbell matches Price’s play and the best goal scorer and one of the top point getters in the league combine for 1 goal in 7 games. That is an anomaly!!! Don’t get me started how they out chance MTL 12-0 in OT and lose off a lucky deflection. That series ended up boiling down to the leafs being very unlucky. They dominated Montreal in 6 of the 7 games.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CanucksDecline</b></div><div>How about trading one of the big-name players?
These arent bad but would you consider moving any of them if they don't win a round this year, a move has to be made sooner or later</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DougieGilmour</b></div><div>I would trade Marner right now. I’m convinced he will never be a clutch player, poor man’s Kane</div></div>

Just gotta keep running it back with this core… imagine if wsh traded one of their core guys after losing all those times in the 1st and 2nd round. You have to remember Matthews, Marner, Nylander are all 25 and younger. Still lots of growing to do both hockey wise and leadership wise. The time will come, no need to make knee jerk decisions bc u lose to a stacked Florida team or the back to back champs.
