<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>What is the fascination with Teows, at this point and time Kampf is a way better shutdown C.</div></div>

1. Leadership 2. Knows how to win 3. Adds C depth 4. Cheap

Kampf will still play an important role, as you say a good shut-down guy who is key on the PK.

Thread: Getting under the cap with no major moves

I would add Toews on a cheap deal as well to play the 3C, Robertson and Holmberg can be sent down as they are waivers exempt.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pensburgh571</b></div><div>Uh what cap space? They literally aren't saving any cap space with the retention lmao?
They give up the better player, retain on him, and get a 7th D and 5th round pick out of it lol. Come on now.</div></div>

Maybe Lilly insted of Timmins and slightly less retention.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pensburgh571</b></div><div>why on earth would the penguins make that trade??</div></div>

Cap space, and Dubas LOVES his guys! If you want EK65 this is how you will have to shed weight.

Maybe not, I'm sure there is a suiter out there for him. Robertson, Holmberg and Niemelä are all waivers exempt, should help with the 22 man roster.

I don't think any leafs fan wanted him to leave in the first place, just the cap being the issue.

Dumba is a far better fit for Reiley than Lilly, the leafs don't need another rushing D.

With Samsonov's arbitration at 3.55 your a way under on Swayman's deal.

Thanks for the update. I still feel a first and Lilly is a good package, he has a lot of upside and ideally I would keep him as a leaf, but needs must!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmurrayt</b></div><div>Brodie at the end of last year looked terrible.

Probably a fair comment, maybe a 6th instead of the 3rd, but he would complete a nice looking back end in Columbus imo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>squashmaple</b></div><div>You have to take cap back if Columbus takes Brodie. They don't have the space for 5mill.</div></div>

Blankenburg would probably be sent down if Brodie was signed, freeing up the cap space.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Still a *little* light for Pesce, but it's close enough. There would need to be another mid round pick and maybe drop the 5th going back to Toronto</div></div>

Maybe lose the 5th but with only a year left and the Cains wanting to dump his cap, I fdeel there's a deal there!

Find a way to swap Brodie for Pesce and it looks a lot better! I'd be all for Wilson, he'd add so much to that top 6!

There's no deal to be done with the Preds as the leafs will want a top pair D if they are going to trade Nylander and I doubt you'll be giving away Josi!

Thread: Solid defense

The Jackets won't take it, they need to cut overall spending, not a chance they retain while having to extend Dermott and pay Johnson. I think there could be a deal to be done with Savard but I think it would most likely be a larger trade maybe with Korpisalo as well?!

Forum: Armchair-GMOct. 7, 2020 at 10:06 a.m.

Thread: Say it with me Defence

I agree Dubas had JR's pants down but Freddy isn't a 3rd line winger, he's a starting goaltender with a decent cap hit and a very low cost contract for the rest of the year, just what the Cains need!

Thread: Say it with me Defence

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07 </b></div><div>say it with me, Andersen isnt returning a 1st plus</div></div>

Kapanen went for a first and for a goalie who could be the final piece in a cup winning puzzle for only $1mil on his salary this year I think that looks awfully tempting from a team with a smaller financial budget.

I don't understand why Cains fans are so against Freddy, with that D in front of him and not Ceci for 25 minutes a night, only having to start 45-50 games and not 60 I think they'd be very close to a cup.

The finance in itself is worth the plus and Freddy is worth a first. That is what so many are not factoring in to this years dealings. Contracts that have been front loaded with minimal to pay compared to cap hit will be huge in teams makeup especially ones on a small budget like Arizona, Columbus Carolina and Florida.

Let me ask you if Carolina win a cup next year is it worth a 1st plus?
Answer - Of course it is, it's a cup!

Forum: Armchair-GMOct. 7, 2020 at 8:00 a.m.

Thread: This is it

Not a chance Maroon ends up on the Leafs roster at that price point. Two cups in two years the guy's either going somewhere cheap to win or getting a pay day of 2+ imo. He would be a magnificent capture for the leafs, just what they need and he would be loved by the fans in Toronto, just don't see it, could see him on an Av's bottom 6!

Thread: free agents

Think you'd be better trading Kerfoot not Johnson and having Engvall 3rd C and move Spezza to 4th line C. Robertson is not going to be ready for top line minutes at the start of the year, give him time, I'd give him a spot on the 4th with PP time.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>Is kerfoot the new lupul?

I had a leaf fan tell me is an amazing player early today. Now he is lupul.</div></div>

I like him, I just can't see anywhere he fits in the Leafs roster with that cap hit. Same with Dermott, think he's going to be a top 4 d-man in the future but I just don't see where he fits.
