Thread: Try it out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Broader</b></div><div>Not Horrible, but here are some thoughts

- If the Blackhawks are going to consider taking Murray, Leafs will need to give up more picks or another prospect to get rid of Murray.

- Zadorov Trade, I think Calgary passes

- I think that Jarnkork is worth more than a third.

- I don't see CBJ taking brodie. It had a good return, but too expensive of a contract</div></div>


I was going to say much the same about his choices: I would be happy with the end result, but the other teams' fans are not going to be on board with the trades.
And Jarnkrok doesn't seem worth giving up for a late pick to sign a Toews in questionable health.

Kudos for actually producing a 24-man roster, and not sneaking by with 20 to keep under the cap

Why not make more moves? We have a team that hasn't done anything with what they have, so the goal for you is to run it back AGAIN? HA! You have no clue what people will accept and won't accept. So, you can share your opinion, but don't act like you know everything be respectful to others trying to enjoy their time.</div></div>

Never seen a new person come on so strong, but anyways....

The whole point is maybe you dont want to discuss your ideas, thats fine, but you posted your ideas so people can discuss them. Looking at your trades and resignings, etc...but its kind of irrelevant for people to discuss your ideas, if you start out by being 4mil over the cap.

The general consensus is you are underpaying the UFAs, but thats irrelevant because you're over the cap even with those.

Maybe I came in too strong, and I apologize, but the whole premise and ideas are flawed if your result is 4mil over the cap.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyNutts</b></div><div>I believe the sharks only have 1 goalie signed as well.</div></div>

If we were competing for the playoffs that would likely influence our decision making, but as a rebuilding team it wont. Makiniemi is likely ready for more NHL time and even if he isn't there are always plenty of vet free agents looking for a paycheck. Also Drieger, Campbell and Forsberg are all vets other teams might be looking to move on from for salary cap reasons too. Even Aaron Dell is still with the org and would chomp at the bit for another shot. Murray would be better than all of them, but it doesn't really matter when "has a pulse" is your biggest requirement. Basically the Sharks shouldn't surrender value on cap deals just because the player coming back will get time in the lineup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyNutts</b></div><div>I'm curious about this one - why do you think that? You are trading for an unproven goalie that has shown flashes of greatness but nothing sustained for a player that had 87 points last year and has 2x30 goal and 1x 40 goal seasons. So, he is a proven point-getter; seems like the Leafs are taking more of the gamble. Sounds awfully similar to Matt Murray when the Sens traded for him a bunch of promise but nothing guaranteed.

Curious as to why - PS we are all underpaid</div></div>

That’s quite literally what I’m saying Toronto’s GM should be fired if he makes that offer for Hart. Also I didn’t even realize that u underpaid half of the UFAs and ur already $4M over the cap. I mean Bertuzzi probably wouldn’t do less than a 6x6 and ROR isn’t take that little just to start with two of them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyNutts</b></div><div>hammerwise - you must have the inside scope LOL that no one is privy to; please feel free to share all of your worldly wisdom of what will and won't work. Speaking of waste of time.

The team literally has half the team UFA so yes, there will be change; accept it. I'm always down for some constructive criticism and fun banter, and completely understand I have a leaf bias, but geeze let it go. It's not a personal attack and you choose to click on it. You come on to have some fun, and then you get this type of ****. It seems like you should use your time elsewhere. I regret nothing :) LOL</div></div>

You're new to this site - you will quickly find out that there are some common names that pop up in the comment section all the time who think they know everything, you would think they have group chats with all GMs. They take offence when you don't share their opinion, they need to lighten up a little bit for sure. I don't agree with most of what you posted here, but i'm not going to give you hell for it.

Just one piece of advice, leaf fans have to play by a different set of rules on this site. There are a lot of trolls who will try to convince you that leaf players are worthless in trades, are "cap dumps", and leafs have to overpay in any and all trades.

While there are a lot of ridiculous leaf posts on here that make leaf fans look bad, there are also plenty of insufferable fans of other teams as well. They are just immune to some of the criticism leaf fans get,

Have a good one, go leafs go!
