Thread: After Draft Shopping
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>To answer your question on Murray, gotta think it would easier to buyout Murray at 687,000 and 2.7m over the next two seasons. Leafs have so few prospects....gotta think they have to keep Niemela, He Liljegren are the only two young NHLers in the Leafs system, and that's assuminging Niemela is going to be an NHLer.</div></div>
If I’m the Leafs I’m gonna try and save every penny I possibly can so avoiding a buyout at all costs would be a priority to me.

Personally, I think the value is very fair and attractive for TOR to make this sort of deal. Idk how they view Niemela but, I myself am quite fond of him so, I wouldn’t personally trade <em>him</em>. But I’d be ecstatic as a wings fan to land him considering how high I am on the player.

Thread: Detroit Red Wings
I appreciate all your points. The Backlund deal maybe would be OK before the season and it’s always nice to be able to flip at the deadline. I tend to look for more of a Sean Monahan type deal where we get paid to take someone like say, Granlund from PIT and then retain on a trade later to get more assets back. I’ve been waiting for Yzerman to make those sort of creative moves like that but the closest we’ve gotten to something like that with him was the Nick Leddy deal(s).

I don’t think it as pressing of an issue to identify Ville Husso’s successor right now. I’d prefer to allow things to unfold as they may in 2 years time and sign someone else to a shorter 1-2 year deal. I’d rather face the challenge of Husso’s contract expiring by having to either re-sign him when the time comes or lure a good/better goalie to sign here to play tandem with Cossa.
