Thread: Venting
No disrespect but it seems you forget how playoff hockey works. yes Timmins has been a great reclamation project and has been good. He started to slip before all these trades. You want to shelter him a little and give him a few opportunities down the stretch and have him be ready for next year.

Sandin was also having a few inconsistent plays. mix in him being 4th on the left side and not able to switch to the right, plus contract problems earlier, apparently his agent earlier told Dubas that he wanted to play so now he plays. Its asset management. ZAR has been a decent winger but nothing stellar. You need to keep the competitiveness in the locker room otherwise players get complacent and their play slips.

In terms of the relationships and all that, Nylander is a pro, just cause you have a buddy on a team doesn't mean you can't get over it and play hockey. these guys have more money than we will see in our lives, they will be able to see each other in the off season. Do you get sad and not do your job if your buddy stops working with you?

You look at the other teams blueline for every year that the leafs have been eliminated they have size and grit. Dubas tried the small skill route and now he has to try something new.
If you see all the moves hes done and then see that they still have all their top prospects??? thats why Dubas is getting praise. Theres no negative with having proper depth.


Would not be shocked if Dubas trades Holl with a first for a retained top 6 winger. You then go into the playoffs with 13 deep fwds and 8 NHL d men. When tampa won in the bubble i believe they used 13 d men? He's done everything in his power, now its time for the top 6 to play in the big moments

Thread: Kyle Dubas Heisenberg arc
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Unless they are really high on Robertson which is possible, I don't see any incentive for them doing any retention unless they are getting someone that they would really like that would presumably be Knies. Maybe they do something like 800k to 1m retention for the above package if it interests them (assuming the market for him dries up). If they can get it done as presented here, then that would be some very tidy business by Dubas. Maybe it would be possible if they flip Holl for an asset as well.</div></div>

They are literally paying more in cap space to players not playing on the roster vs rostered players. They need to hit the cap floor. Depending on the structure of the deal it could be very possible that Coyotes would only be really taking the hit on the salary cap and not actually having to pay him alot.

Leafs and other high profit teams usually front load their contracts so that when they go to move the player, its just a cap hit and not actually owed salary being taken on. Not sure how Chychrun is structured.

I dont think this trade happens but its not impossible is all i will say. I think its more likely that they trade Holls cap space and use it to bring in a forward giving them 8 quality d and 13 forwards before even counting the non-roster players
