<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MatthewsFan</b></div><div>Question is a little more for the Leaf crowd but does anyone else think the Leafs rushed into resigning Morgan? Hindsight what is is, but with or without Giordano, I’ve always kind of struggled if Rielly is a number 1 LD. Love the offence he create, great at moving the puck with speed but can’t defend against the rush, and can make some poor decisions without the puck.

Feels like they are making Sandin’s ascension to a more prominent role even harder with Rielly Muzzin and now Gio ahead of him. They could move him to his offside but he did not look comfortable at all in the short stint they tried him there this season.

I get the narrative they couldn’t let Morgan walk for nothing but you’ve got Gaudreau/Forsberg (some big names) also as FA, it happens.

Long winded way of saying I think they did, should have let this season play out, see where you stand, they look at a new deal or let him walk.

Thoughts?</div></div>

He's not really worth that, but the Leafs won't find a better one in FA or late in the 1st round so it's better than any available options for them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoopsTroops</b></div><div>Is anyone else irked when people start talking about asset management when it comes to pending UFAs? [and I'm talking about when a team's season is over, not at the TDL]

I mean I see Pens fans on Twitter talking about bad asset management if Letang and/or Malkin leave. If a player has been in the league long enough to become a UFA then there shouldn't be any ill will towards player or team management if they choose to go elsewhere. There shouldn't be any expected value on a player to a team when their contract is up as a UFA.</div></div>

There shouldn't be any ill will towards the player because it's their choice. However, it's 100% on the GM *UNLESS* they are expected to go on a cup run. For example, Pittsburgh was never expected to go deep in the playoffs, so they should've traded the guys who they weren't bringing back. Tampa + Calgary + Florida shouldn't be ****ted on if they lose players to FA because they expected to go on a long run,

Bergevin losing Tatar + Danault was a terrible for asset management. Tampa losing Savard isn't.

Not too bad IMO</div></div>

I dunno, I'm not convinced with Rust. I'd rather they do a short term deal. Not like they'll be competitive during those 6 years anyways
