Thread: Maple Leafs Trade Deadline Firesale

I would rather keep JVR (a player who is on an amazing contract for his absolute prime years) than trade him for a very late 2017 1st and a player who if he fully fulfills his potential will be like JVR or he could completely bust. I think a better return could be had elsewhere.

I also would never retain on Dion, especially for a 2nd, a meh prospect and an AHLer.
Also you can retain on 4 players

Thread: No Kane

A very late 1st, a UFA and 2 meh prospects for JVR? Big pass from the Leafs. They would need to include one of Pokka, TT, Dano etc. At least .

Thread: Draft Deal: Maatta

That first trade is so bad for Toronto. They retain close to 50% on both Dion and on JVR then throw Kapanen in as well. You really are overvaluing Maatta

Thread: Didn't see that trade coming

I wouldn't say this trade is an indication of the leafs not tanking. They are just freeing up contracts so they can sign all their PRO players and then ship em out at the deadline for picks for Hunter. After which they will tank hard.

Thread: Tanking

So ship out every players over 25 and then trade Toronto's future top pairing D / captain for a player who could be a convicted felon...
Doesn't add up

Thread: Conquering the stamkos delema

I don't see Filppula playing 4th line minutes...
I think the lightning need to think is signing 1 number center worth blowing up your team. As other have said there are so many UFA/RFA that will need to be signed next year that can't is stammer is signed.
I think letting Bishop and Filppula go would be a very bad move

Unbelievable, Winnick may have been the top Leaf forward last year. As a practicing atheist I find picture.....disturbing, but on this site entirely appropriate.</i></div></div>
Ya I agree, Winnick was one of the best all around players for the leafs last year and I could see him on the second line with bozak and Parentaeu perhaps.
Lol 'practicing atheist' is a bit of an oxymoron isn't it :P

Thread: Flames

Ya if the Pens want johnny Hockey they are going to have to send Maatta, both those 1st round picks and maybe even add on Pouliot. Also calgary wouldn't be sending any picks back or taking any cap dumps.
Even then I don't know if they would do it.

Thread: getting......

Can Pittsburgh even deal that pick? Isn't it involved in the conditional picks in the kessel trade (I.e. the 2016 1st turns into 2017 if they don't make the playoffs)
Regardless that wouldn't get OEL without retention let alone retaining close to 2 million

Thread: 15-16

Ya I don't think Setoguchi will be making the team due to Glencross and Boyes singing PTOS as well. A lot of the guys (Frattin, Carrick etc) will be in the AHL I think.
The point of signing all these 1 year UFA is to get picks at the TDL but also to make it very difficult for the youth to make the team. Which is a good thing as it allows them to develop

Thread: start of 2016-2017 season

I doubt toronto will be able to pay Stamkos double the next top earning player though lol.
But I so agreee it doesn't make sense to sign Stammer when you are rebuilding. Specially if you think the team is bad enough to have a chance at Austin Mathews.
I'd much rather have Dion play in that defensive corps rather than be on LTIR.

Thread: Mark 7.01

I feel like Pittsburgh shouldn't trade another 1st round pick as they never seem to draft in the 1st round lately.. For JVR I would ask for a package around Pouliot with no 1st round pick involved

Thread: Almost done

Toronto won't be the one giving up a pick in a Scuderi trade . They have no use for him and are essentially doing Pittsburgh the favor of taking on a cap dump while giving up a pick too.
Also I think they have the max number of contracts too

Thread: My 30and30 lines (lol)

Agreed. I also would put polak with one of the rookies to add some grit to that line. Don't need the two most physical defensmen on the same line

Thread: How to rebuild

At the same time the only way you are going to get a decent return for Phaneuf is if you retain salary and if they do retain salary for 7 years it is going to bite them in the ass hard in 4-5 years time when a bunch of the youth will be getting new contracts. So I wouldn't personally retain on Phaneuf period as that would be locking up 2/3 retention spots and probably close to 3 million dollars for the next 7 years because of the kessel trade.
Also Phaneuf is far better than anyone you are going to be getting as a FA so I would just keep him rather than get the return he would yield without retention. Playing 24+ minutes including PP and PK is not an easy thing, doubt any FA was playing close to those minutes last year or they would have been signed.
I think Gardiner is going to top out as a good to great #3 defenseman. I don't see him playing on the top pairing. Also I would be Sheltering Rielly on the 2nd pairing for the next couple seasons as defensmen seem to develop more slowly

Thread: How to rebuild

Unfortunately I think you can only retain salary on 3 players at a time.
I also think that Lupul will not return even close to that much and I think Bozak could grab a 2nd without retention.
Personally I wouldnt retain on Dion for the next 7 years. I would rather have him playing all the hard minutes and sheltering the youth

Thread: nugent hopskins deal, is it fair?

Ya I don't see why Edmonton need another smaller skilled forward. Also I would never move a 22 year old center who has had to play 1st line minutes in the western conference pretty much his whole carrer and has still put up an admirable point total.
Also having a 4th liner make 4 million dollars is pretty crazy

Thread: Phaneuf Trade

It's not the amount of money that would handcuff them it's that the leafs will have 2/3 of their retention slots used up for the next 7 years.
I think Phaneuf could retire a maple leaf

Forum: Armchair-GMAug. 5, 2015 at 6:09 p.m.

Thread: Phaneuf Trade

Agreed. The leafs can take back camp dumps in a Dion trade but they aren't or shouldn't retain salary. It would handcuff them for the better part of a decade.
Also I think Babcock likes Phaneuf so I don't think he will get traded. You need someone to eat up first line minutes to shelter the young developing players

Thread: Lots of talent, so use it.

the first trade is very interesting from a Toronto POV as it would give Hunter lots of draft picks. the only thing that is worrying is that for the next 7 years 2 out of 3 of the leafs retention slots and almost 4 million dollars worth of cap would be used up

Thread: Kessel to the Cup

looks like a good lineup. the only thing that is worrying is if Letang gets injured again that defense corp is looking pretty thin without a true number 1/2 defenseman.
