Thread: No market for barrie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>If Edmonton moves Foegele they can keep everyone and sign McLeod to a 1.5 mill deal and carry 22 I checked and tested it on an acgm

Also Foegele really ain't difficult to move Anaheim, Arizona, Ottawa all could take him

As for penguins doubt they have any desire to move McGuinn Sullivan loves the guy and he's been a solid tanev replacement</div></div>Team above is 22 players with McLeod signed for 1.5 and has 260K space, Foegele's hit if moved is 2.75 for a total of 3. Barrie's hit is 4.5 so I don't see how that works. Where are you getting that extra 1.5 from? Either you're talking a 20 man roster or it was before Yamamoto signed.

And as for the Pens, McGinn is a decent player but we are stuck over the cap ourselves and 2.75 for a 4th liner is just a luxury we can not afford, especially when we just added Poehling and Archibald for the 4th line, not to mention having DOC and Zohorna ready. Someone has to go and it's either McGinn or Zucker who would be even harder to move.

Thread: Random thoughts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Leafs have been running 20 men for like 2 years now. Other teams have run as few as 19 (and I thought I even saw 18 once) at times. A 20 man roster is absolutely fine, especially with the Marlies in Toronto available for call-ups. They literally just walk to the next pad over in the practice rink the morning of when they need a call up. No biggie.</div></div>

That works for a few days maybe or if someone ends up on LTIR, but you have to have cap space available to call players up. Pens(JR) screwed up a couple years ago and had to finish the season with 5 Dmen because we had no space left to bring someone from WBS. Cutting it that close you risk playing games with a less than full roster. Not to mention that unless Kerfoot and Holl suddenly develop "Hossa allergies", they won't be on LTIR lol
