Thread: Better D
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>Your description is muttled nonsense. Nylander is not overpaid that's been well proven at this point. Marner is 2 million overpaid I'll give you that. I am curious how not good defensively Hamilton is without Slavin on his left side? Slavin has been and is the number 1 in Carolina not Hamilton</div></div>

Nylander is overpaid, not nearly as much as Marner but overpaid. He makes more then any of Boston’s top line, more then Braden Point a good player but over paid. Marner is of course good but also overpaid making more then stamens, kucherov and pretty much anyone else in the league. These guys took the money,maybe you or I would too, but the end result is that Dubas now doesn’t have the budget left over to fill out the rest of the roster as needed.

They are going to lose perhaps all of Hyman, Kerfoot and Andersen because of this.

The lineup is top forward heavy and the current back end mix isn’t good enough to get it done.

You know I specifically said this was not about the trade for Dumba or the signing of Muzzin It could be for any defenseman that makes about that money. I wanted to see how it affected the leafs cap going forward if the added 2 guys for about 11 million.

Now as for the Dumba trade, that’s a first, and 2 young forwards both signed to reasonable contracts for about the same term as Dumba. Maybe it takes another draft pick, maybe not. It’s exactly what the Wild need......2 roster players plus draft picks.

Thread: With Muzzin and another Defenseman next year
With Engvall now signed I wanted to look at next year and see how Dubas can fit the oft talked Dumba trade in under the cap while still signing most of the relevant roster.

I have based a bunch off Engvall’s number with mikehyev and Clifford being slightly higher and Spezza, gauthier and timashov slightly lower. I think these are all reasonable.

Dermott gets the same as holl. This seems reasonable.

Muzzin gets a raise to 5000000 and 3 years to stay close to Woodstock with a team he likes. Yes I think he turns down more elsewhere and yes he might sign for more term.

The only way we can sign or trade for a 6000000 defenseman is to get rid of equal salary. That means nylander or 2 of kerfoot, johnsson, kapanen would need to go. If it was me I would get rid of nylander but Dubas seems set on not breaking up that group of top 4.

I am sure minny fans will say this is not enough for Dumba or that he will never be traded. That may be, but I wanted to see what had to realistically happen salary wise to make it work.

Thread: Leafs trade your thoughts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>I just think if Toronto would move 2 good youngish wingers they can get a stud dman.</div></div>

I basically agree. In this case we are discussing losing 2 roster players. Johnsson a top 6 and Kapanen a top 9 player. Both are signed to reasonable contracts. It’s exactly what Edmonton needs. Problem is they don’t come free and to give them up the leafs need to fill the defensive cupboard. Larsson has proven he isn’t that guy and certainly not worth the two forwards.

Puljujarvi is a huge risk and may never even play in nhl again. I personally see him as worth little more then a Bracco or Timashov.

To trade both we would want the defensive equivalent being 2 young guys. Bear and Jones may be “untouchable “ but that is a fair equivalent.

Carolina for Hamilton or Pesce seemed to make some sense last summer but that’s never happen now.

It’s a shame Rangers don’t have a young RHD that they could package with Georgiev in exchange for Kapanen + Bracco + a pick or two.

Thread: Improving D long term and backup goalie - NYR - CAR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>Pesce trades just need to stop just not happening, as for the Rangers getting a 2nd rnd for Georgie? Just not true a 3rd maybe but more likely a 4th or he gets picked on waivers in a week or 2 when they are forced to decide between Georgie and the KHL star they brought in who is better than Georgiev. If Kreider starts with a first I hang up and cal NJ about Hall</div></div>

Huh?....

Georgiev is worth at best a middle round pick. Like a 3 rd or 4 th rounder. At no point did I say he was worth a first.

Kreider might be worth a first at trade deadline. It’s arguable but I can see that.

IMO kapanen is worth about the same, he was a first rounder, is signed for 3 more years at a reasonable amount, kills penalties, can play Top 6 role for rangers for rangers foreseeable future.

If you prefer a 3rd and a 1st pick for both guys I would do that but need to move a salary to do it. I’m sure Edmonton would take kapanen in a trade to handle that salary.
