Thread: Muzzin has been extended according to TSN
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>According to TSN it sounds like Muzzin's extension is basically done and that will be announced by the deadline (waiting for tagging rules and whatnot)

What do we expect the contract to look like?
I am thinking something in the realm of 3@6

Thread: Marlies become Leafs ???
The Marlies have been depleted by two factors, one being a good one.

Hunter drafting was terrible and left a 2-3 year gap in young talent for the Marlies, it is what we are seeing currently.
The other reason is that most of the best Marlies have graduated to the Leafs.

Combined these issues create the 'lack of talent' you currently see on the Marlies.

The good news is that Dubas' drafting has been exceptionally good so far and the Marlies will be getting a ton of new talent within the next 1-2 years time.
The other good news is that the Leafs core is young. We don't need an influx of high end talent right now, and what we do have in they system is low cost depth forwards whether they are UFA's brought in or guys like Engval.

To have a successful development system with the Leafs cap constraints, I figure that you need to graduate 3 depth forwards every 2 years and one middle 6+ forward in that same timeframe (total of 4 grads every 2 years). Seeing as we have Marchment, Korshkov, Kossila, Lindgren, etc all within 2 years time the depth is doing fine. We just need to bridge the gap until Robertson and abruzze are betetr developed.

Thread: Travis Dermott next contract
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tomato43</b></div><div>I would rather go for bridge deal for the sole reason that i want to try and avoid having to resign a bunch of players when they are 29 or 30 years old. If we sign him to a 3 year bridge his next contract wont run into his mid to late 30s. That might be looking way to far into the future but i want to get all of the prime years out of our players and have the ability to walk away from them at that point if needs be. On a bridge deal he will likely be playing behind Sandin and Rielly for a good chunk of it which would limit how much he will be able to produce in points and minutes keeping his cost down for a third contract. We are still in a bit of a cap crunch for a couple years as well until a new broadcasting rights deal is negotiated. I wouldn't mind an extra couple million to spend on other defensemen for a couple years.</div></div>

I think if hes 23 and they sign him to a 5 or 6 year deal that wouldn't be the end of the world when it comes to his next contract. I dont like signing guys into their mid to late 30s but if a long term contract ended when he was 28-29 and they resigned until he is 32 that wouldn't be the end of the world imo.

I'm on the trade rielly team and I have been since last season. He would never replicate his last season and gms around the league think hes better then he actually is. If they could trade rielly for someone like parayko or ekblad that would give you the ability to run
Muzzin-holl
Dermott-ekblad/parayko
Sandin-liljegren.
Taht gives you the ability to have 2 sort of shut down pairs and is much more versatile
