Thread: Hawks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rusty_Shackelford</b></div><div>Gonna say the same thing to everyone else unaware that decides to sign Ejdsell. The Hawks do own his rights, but he signed in Sweden. He's not coming back this year...if ever. And he wasn't good anyway.

Perlini isn't signing 3 years at that price. Hawks probably aren't sure they want him that long. And it's not enough to entice him to sign that long. He probably wants 2mil for 2 years.

Hicketts is an AHL defenseman. Givani Smith is the equivalent to Graham Knott. Connor Murphy is a valuable dman, regardless of what some say because he isn't fast and doesn't bring offense. He was their best Defensive dman. Just an AWFUL trade for the Hawks.

Anisimov for Vatrano, I'd take Anisimov if we're ignoring salary. Greco is a career AHLer. Anisimov can play center or wing, has size, and can play PK. Entwistle was a PPG OHL player with size. And isn't even 20. And you throw in a 2nd on top of it? Insanity!

You have Kane on the left side. A position he has never played. That makes sense. You have Duncan Keith on the right side. A side he has never played. BRILLIANT!</div></div>

I usually just ignore the ones this nonsensical

Thread: Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CameronLeafs</b></div><div>Does everyone think Marner is far better than Rantanen, Connor, Laine, and Point? I assume Rantanen, Connor and Laine wouldn't be automatic matches with a 10.4 x 5 offer sheet, and you would keep 2 first round picks. Thats why this Marner speculation surprises me.

I realize Point is a tougher situation due to the no tax in Florida, and Rantanen likely gets matched, although I can't say that with 100% conviction. I, biased or not as a leafs fan think Marner is better than Connor and Laine, but for less of an AAV and saving 2 first round picks, I'm not so sure.</div></div>

This roster is top contenders for all 4 years. Those end up being late 1sts. Think of it as renting Marner for 4 seasons and the price each season is a 1st.

Thread: What if Lehner signing means Crawford is LTIR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stan_Bowman</b></div><div>My guess is that Stanbowman saw that there was a very good goaltender on the market, which he had space to sign for a one year deal, and decided not to bank on prospects for the future, but instead on a 1 year prove it deal on Robin. Crawford has either told the front office he is retiring for his health next year, or the front office has lost confidence in his ability to stay healthy and play at a high level. If Robin plays at a high level, we sign him to an extension as soon as we are eligible to give him 8 years. If not, no harm done and it is possible a team takes a chance on him at TDL.</div></div>

I'm not saying this is what's happening. I'm saying what if. What you said is definitely more likely, except the 8 year deal.
