Fair enough. Ideally you full off a trade like this and fill out the roster. If you buyout Murray you likely have to trade Jarnkrok to save that $2m next year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>Yeah, it's obvious how you do it though, buy Murray out... or ship Muzzin's LTIR contract to Arizona and a 5th for a 7th and have the 'oh, Murray injured for the rest of the season again' sign Sammy and look for an upgrade on Brodie for a lesser cap hit</div></div>

Buying Murray out hurts the team next year when Nylander and Matthews new contracts kick in. Gotta find a way to trade it I think.

Jarnkrok and Lafferty would be nice additions for the Sabres. You’re right about trading within the division, but these are good players.

Man id never live in Toronto I just cheer for the hockey club. But I live closer to Ottawa and it’s not like it’s an attractive city to be. Snow sucks and horribly designed city. I literally just opened my social media and there’s a news article about how the LRT is having issues at the Lebreton Flats station and Bluesfest starts this week lol 🤦‍♂️

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jlteebo</b></div><div>Stu, chucky, Norris and Batherson. Norris is a lot better than people give him credit for and has good stats, just ran into shoulder issues. Batherson is a stud at his Cap hit, just ended up playing with Cat (no defense) and a 3C last year so didn't meet his potential. These four, with support from an absolute unit of a d core will light it up this year.</div></div>

No doubt they are ready to try and compete for a playoff spot. But they have a whole heckuva lot to prove before that’s a conversation. And I’m definitely surprised they got their guys to commit long term in that city lol

Thread: All you can do is laugh

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GreatWhiteNorth</b></div><div>Your opinion seems to be very narrow sighted. How do you know it was Treliving’s fault that Gustafsson didn’t re-sign? It’s a two way street - the player has to want to sign with the team too. My guess from everything I heard was that Gustafsson wasn’t happy with his playing time in Toronto, hence why he didn’t re-sign. Can’t blame a guy who they acquired and didn’t use if he wants to walk away.</div></div>

For sure! My point is just that I don’t agree with 4 million towards a guy who can’t defend. IMO both signings can’t make a difference in a playoff game.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GreatWhiteNorth</b></div><div>Are you referring to signing Klingberg and letting Schenn walk? .. the issue with Schenn wasn’t the dollar amount. It was term. You don’t give a 7th defenceman a 3 year deal when you’re consistently a cap strapped team. I’ll take Klingberg at 1 year for his deal than Schenn for 3 at his any day of the week</div></div>

I was referring to Gustafsson lol. I just feel like this $ is much better suited for an actual difference maker.

You’re advocating keeping Murray? You just can’t do that. I like Samsonov but Id rather find value in goaltenders and spend $ to actually bring in more depth to the lineup.

Goalies are voodoo and if the core remains, you gotta sacrifice $ in certain areas.

Why? Vladar and Woll would be a decent tandem. Jarnkrok and Lafferty are great pieces but I like the upside of Vladar at around $2m for 2 years. Need money next year for Matthews and Nylander especially with the Murray buyout.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newballcoach</b></div><div>Retaining on Murray is definitely an option, not a great one but it's there. Unfortunately, there's not much difference between this retention and burying him in the minors, at least, not enough to give away anything substantial.

Agreed. I just rather have someone a bit younger and a better skater than ROR. Limited options if the core remains and upgrades on D.

Graves I'm not sure is worth that and Rodrigues is scary as a 2C.</div></div>
