Thread: Things that make you go HMMMMMMMMMMM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shanesaw9</b></div><div>Obviously I can get behind Marner the player, but I just don't feel his contract would be a good thing for MTL. The bar is set right now with Suzuki at $7.8M, Marner will probably seek a raise on his current $11M and it just breaks the culture a bit I think.

Aside from the obvious talent, how does Marner fit in with MTL's team build? You've got Suzuki and Caufield as right handed guys for PP1 - so Marner would have to bump one of them realistically and I'm not sure that helps seeing as MTL is already invested in those two players for the next 6 and 7 years at least.</div></div>

Just picked on MTL because they have so many young right hand defense and good amount of picks to work with .
Could be any team with a young right defense or goalie or maybe even a center and picks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrakBirds23</b></div><div>Beniers is going to get a bridge deal that is something like 3x4M. Tolvanen probably gets something similar.

I don't think Seattle brings Yams back as he just wasn't consistent enough on the forecheck for the system they run.

Signing Stephenson blocks Wright from joining the club. His last 5 game stint is pretty reflective on the player they want him to be and the 2C job is his to lose. I'm hit and miss on DeMelo but ultimately he keeps Evans from playing most nights and the club wants Evans on the ice. They still need to find a D that can play as physical as Soucy as you aren't seeing it from Larsson, Oleksiak, or Borgen.

Toffoli is an interesting choice as they need offense from somewhere. My guess is they make a hard push for Reinhart if he hits FA on July 1 as the finishers they've been drafting (Firkus, Rehkopf, Goyette) are still at least a couple years away from the NHL if they make it.</div></div>

Beniers had 21 points there is 0 chance he gets 4m?
Wright is in the lineup but you need NHL subs so you work the ine up around a bit according how they start the pre-season!
As far as physcial defense you are watching a differenet team if you think that , Oelsiak is a beast defensive at 177 blocks and 110 hits, Larsson 162 hits, Borgen 200 hits?
Are you really a fan of SEA because I am not but I know your team better then you do?

Thread: That perfect team News flash always haters
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeynutter</b></div><div>For 3.5 million max, Tanev is very useful for his remaining years to be able to play anywhere in the top 6 defense. If he wants more, than I agree he is gone. Age is a factor but not with all players and we need to stop fearing age if players show little signs of slowing down. That be said we need to be weary of the contract. Kampf is not an albatross contract. Yes he is overpaid but to be honest for what he provides like Jarnkrok it is not worth trading if we have to overpay. I would willing to trade Kampf for a 4-6 round pick where we trade Kampf plus a 5-7 round pick. A trade like that upgrades our pick and with the salary cap increasing the other team can afford Kampf and still give us something back.</div></div>

Tanev has injury history and as he gets older that will get worse I am telling you he is a liablity not a plus!
Kampf is a pure cap dump , you would have to pay or add a good prospect or no team would take a HORRIBLE contract for a 4th liner!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeynutter</b></div><div>Yes and no. Tavares for the most part of his contract has lived as expected for whom he is and what he provides. San Jose apparently offered him 13 million. This year is the first real year where his production has shown that his contract is aging. That is a fact. Fact two, the salary cap will rise to 87 and potentially 91 the year after. Tavares is expected to be offered a contract around 3.5 million. For a player like Tavares whom for at least 4 more years can easily be a very good potential star 2nd line center or top six winger. That is a steal an a half. Heck good chance he signs under 6 million. That is still a huge win.

But the problem goes from the initial signing. We had Matthews and kadri. We did not need another 2nd line center. Signing Tavares meant a necessary trade of Marleau costing us a potentially valuable piece now and Kadri being drifted to a 3rd line role and being traded for a turned into a middling return.</div></div>

TML has had the worst management in all of Hockey since the Ballard days!
TML is a place for players to get paid and start their golf season early!
