Thread: REALISTIC TEAM FOR THE LEAFS

"I believe Marner does a 5 year deal like Matthews for around 11 million. Close to Matthews but a little under so he should be happy with that. "
This is your first mistake. Marner is in no way worth AM and it isn't close in the slightest. All reports have Dubas refusing to go above 10 (they just offered 8@10 as their highest offer). Marner won't get 11 on any term, and he shouldn't even get 10 if Dubas hold his nerve (like he did with Willy).

Ennis was good as a super cheap depth guy who will want 3rd line money (and the Leafs can't afford to pay it). I suspect he will be gone.
Bracco is not NHL ready and has very little chance of making it next year.
Petan is a 30 game a year type of guy, not a regular. (Mik is the regular slotted in rn)
Leafs aren't giving up a pick to move Brown, he is more than valuable enough to make that trade without losing a pick. I am being picky here because without 1sts the Leafs will need all of their depth picks.

Just turn injuries off, that way you don't have to worry about having no cap space to call anyone up.

I'm assuming that is only because Hyman won't be back from injury in time for opening night.
(hence the name of the AGM team).

Thread: If every rumour was true

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojme</b></div><div>It's been misinterpreted tbh</div></div>

Nah, not misinterpreted.... Lebrun is an idiot. Most insiders are. They start with the facts that teams have been talking then add their wild speculation about what is being said. Add the two together and there you have it. A rumour is born.

Lebrun is wrong... very very wrong.

Thread: Matching marner offersheet and making it work

If thats the offersheet you keep the picks and run. Marner is not worth best winger in the league money.

Thread: If you pay him you have to move Nylander

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>He has balls for much more than trading him. Both Matthews and Nylander received their value. Marner should receive his value as well. It starts with 9.</div></div>

I think 7-8 years at $9.5m is fair for Marner and I am a big fan of Nylander as well. Want to see him play a full year with Matthews this year. It doesn't seem like anyone has a clue of the term or $$$ Marner is going to get. Wish he would take a 1 year deal until Marleau retires and then sign the long term deal, but unlikely.

Thread: If you pay him you have to move Nylander

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JakeD</b></div><div>I think the point was that you're significantly over-paying Marner and if that's where the number falls it actually makes more sense to keep Nylander and trade Marner.</div></div>

I don't think Marner should get over $10m. But I also don't think Dubas has the balls to trade him and he is in a bad spot after giving Nylander and Matthews their money. This is what happens if he does give him what he is asking.

Thread: If you pay him you have to move Nylander

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nchest</b></div><div>It is not a one for one trade if you read my comments. Toronto has to add to get Pesce but nothing from the roster, picks and prospects. Carolina has depth at RD and needs offence. The Leafs have depth on offence and RW but need defence. This might not be the exact trade but the key pieces.</div></div>

Toronto is not adding to get Pesce. Also my point was about trading Nylander to make place for that holy overpayment of a contract for Marner.

Nothing makes sense about trading player on a good contract to overpay 2 mil for the other guy.

Don't disagree Zaitsev to Buffalo would be reasonable but the Leafs aren't going to cough up a prospect & a 2nd round pick as well for a 26 year old who might not even make the Leafs

I don't understand why you would let Johnsson walk to sign Patrick Maroon and end up under the cap, just pay Johnsson. Maroon is a nice story this year but he's not as valuable as Johnsson</div></div>

Betterall would keep Dubas on the phone until he could physically get Zaitsev in Buffalo so Dubas could (edit) not change his mine.
That is a HUGE over payment for Casey Nelson.
Zaitsev would be perfect pairing with Dahlin.

Thread: If Marners camp wont play ball

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>You are burning 10-12m in Marner, 9-10m in Mikko? Sorry b ut you arent going to win with 20m in RWers especially moving one of the Avs most complete Top 4 Pairings in Barrie Zads. IT creates a hole in the line up and adds a redundant players in Marner to fight for ice time with Mikko.

Its not that Marner the player, its just the Marner the fit in Colorado makes 0 Sense and all it does it sets the Avs 2 steps back when it comes to a a balanced winning roster</div></div>

Solution: Just don't sign Marner. Wait for someone to pull an offer sheet, and collect those 4 first rounders then. It's rumored as a possibility, although as unlikely one.
