Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Max Domi (1 Year / $3,000,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MarkWinnipeg</b></div><div>A Matt Murray buyout will only be a $687,500 cap hit this season and 2M next. Saves 4 million. One more move besides most likely needed.</div></div>
The ordinary buyout window closed on June 30. The only way that Murray can be bought out now is if (1) Ilya Samsonov files for arbitration, and (2) he wins an award or settles with Toronto.

I can just picture it now: Treliving sits down at the table across from Ilya and his agent and after they're settled in, says, "You know, just idly musing here, but you know what would help us? If Ilya filed for arbitration, and then after, say, oh, I don't know, a week or so to make it look good, settled with us for the figure YOU guys want."

Thread: Tampa R1
Agreed there would be no expectations on him. This would be an ideal test of the high end skill he has, certainly with the aim of maximizing that ability he has on the puck. I think 3rd or 4th line is far more likely, that being said. Big difference is Knies has the size to withstand some of the clear issues Robertson dealt with in terms of getting himself chances. He needed to be the trigger man and couldn't do much else. Knies could at the least clog lanes, forecheck, cycle, and trigger if needs to (perhaps a 4th line slot). Love Robbie, but he wasn't set up to do that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JG1972</b></div><div>throwing knies in come playoff time is just like what the leafs did with Robertson back in the play-in round vs. columbus.

its definitely hard for a player to come in from the NCAA and get thrown into probs one of the most brutal and dangerous playoff series he'll ever play in

id say if Knies comes in he'll play 4th line with sheltered minutes, but itd be rly cool to see him play with mitch and matthews fs</div></div>
