Thread: Meier or bust
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DefenseFirst</b></div><div>As a bruins fan, i would be so happy if toronto did this. It’s really easy to just say, “re-sign everyone!” But in practice, you can’t just wave a magic wand and get more cap space. So as is, $18M in cap space next season. Expect the cap to go up $1M, so call it $19M. Meier comes in somewhere around $10M. Let’s be optimistic, call it $9. Bunting is probably $6Mish? What’s the very low end for samsonov? $3M?

4th liners are cheap, but they’re not free…and no - the D isn’t fine. Even worse without Holl who apparently you’re losing. Let’s say through some miracle the leafs pull it off.

Holl is not good. Easily replaced. He may play ok most of the time but when he makes mistakes they are brutal and lead to goals. Bunting at $6M? Hahaha, no, he may be putting up points but he is better suited to a 2nd or ideally 3rd line role. If he wants anything north of $4M, I'd let him walk without even a moment's thought. Samsonov is worth keeping but goalies are voodoo, I'm sure there will be some options out there if he wants more than a $3-3.5M deal.

Bye bye matthews! Let’s say somehow they pull off that miracle? See ya later Marner.

It just doesn’t work. THe leafs can’t add a big piece long term.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>yes, the lightning significantly over paid for a 23 year old 0.5ppg guy with less than 65 career points. Just a massive over payment every step of the way. The difference is they dont care and arnt concerned about 1sts because they are trying to dynasty it.
And Kubalik is not even close to Hagel in terms of value. He's 4 years older, more expensive and is a pending UFA in a year compared to Hagel being a pending RFA in 2 years. Kubalik i also a significantly worse player defensively and was doing the significant bulk of his scoring at 5v5 while Kubalik is basically a power play specialist getting massively tilted offensive zone starts.
They are not remotely comparable</div></div>

Please, I did not say they were the same player. I think I even said that they are quite different, but... Detroit can and will ask a similar price for him considering his production and CAP hit with term. I'm not sure why you are arguing about him, seems like a moot point.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>why do people keep comparing Kubalik to Hagel? Like they arnt remotly comparable in value at all and that's before you add in that the lightening clearly over paid and no one is giving up the same value for a similar player.</div></div>

You think the Lightening overpaid? Hagel is extremely valuable considering 1.5M for this year and next. Also has 28 points in 35 games this season. They did not overpay. The trade value was spot on. Kubalik is a similar situation, more of a scorer, little higher AAV and one less year. I'd say that Detroit would be looking for a similar trade to the Hagel deal, no? Which is why I said I think it'd be too much to give up considering what I think the Leafs are looking for.
