Thread: Leafs Copy Tampa Model
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingExLeafs</b></div><div>Ottawa doesn't want to be bad and tank. They still want to compete in games and win. If Kerfoot works out for them they could bring him back next year. It's like short term test run.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Ottawa can compete all they want, Bottom line is they're way too far out of the final wild card spot. And adding Kerfoot isn't going to change that.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>I don't think they will take just a 1st, they are looking to compete so he'll still be useful to them next year. They probably would want two firsts like CHI got for Hagel or more,and perhaps they will take something in between a 1st and the Hagel return.</div></div>

I don't see any reason why Kerfoot couldn't be included in the Detroit deal for no return.

Thread: TDL option
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UnkleRakesh</b></div><div>Moving out Smith who’s been in and out of the lineup and almost no points to add in Kane is not shifting this roster in a bad direction. Look at the team he’s playing on as well.

Nosek is good away from the puck, but so is Toews



They both have NMCs. People seem to forget the Hall trade. A bunch of expiring contracts and 3 picks for them, while a fleecing, may actually be the only deal they can get.

I also wrote in my novel of a description that I’d only mess with the bottom of the roster and Grze who is 2nd pair D. While they are big name players coming back, it isn’t changing the dynamic of this team in the wrong direction as some of the 6 team trades that are floating around.</div></div>

They could get a second round pick for each and have more value going to Chicago. Not too mention they wouldn't have to take Reilly's cap hit.

Thread: Yzerman Paid 6M and a 3rd to find out what the Canes knew
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Yzerman has no interest in a 5'9" smallish winger in Voit.

Erik Johnson is a pending UFA. and the 2025 2nd which is 3 drafts away for Sunny isn't happening.

Erne and Maatta for a bunch of meh players and a late 2nd, Pretty sure Yzerman can do better.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>He didn't actually take Tampa to any of these. He left before any of it.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>So love yzerman but he's not infallible. Ned was a miss, this year's been a disaster not that it's all Yzermans fault but he's the man in charge. I think these trades are fair I could see us doing any of them.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>I think his scouts he had in Tampa did the heavy lifting. He gets all the credit for other people's work. Like when Chiarelli got credit for Boston's win. Or Stan Bowman for the team Tallon built.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldBoisClubSandwich</b></div><div>TOR also messed up his bluff to Stammer who took less money



Stammer/Hedman were 1/2 overalls while Yzerman drafted Drouin 3, Connelly 6 and Slater Koek 10. TB missed playoffs and had awful years while he was there.



EJ is for COL cap, and Sunny has bottom 6 production and doesn't win FO's, what do you think he's worth??</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>InRodWeTrust</b></div><div>Oh I remember. "You'll have to ask them why they are comfortable doing this". I don't think they were, actually. Mgmt's hand was forced. They were not going to qualify Ned and drag the negotiations out, and so he would have been a UFA within a week. The fact that it only took a 3rd told me other GM's had the same hesitation as the Canes.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Correction Yzweman isn't doing any of that.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bagelbob</b></div><div>ned was worth the risk at the time. he hasn’t really panned out but it’s not like it’s totally messed up the window or anything. very low risk, high reward and it just didn’t end up working this year. the chiarot situation is way more confusing to me, dude makes seider way worse.</div></div>

Ned was a great pick up, he played well last year, this year has been tough but that's goalies sometimes. The Chiarot signing was the biggest question mark.

Didn't mean to quote all these for this response.
