Thread: LeBrun on Fleury and Leafs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sammy_daws1997</b></div><div>I think that is still quite a bit less than Fleury would be willing to take.

I think 2-year he would be looking at about $3.5M-$4M

I also doubt he is willing to take less to play here considering he is Quebecois. Willing to play in Toronto and wanting to play in Toronto are two completely different things.

For comparison, these are some similar goalie signings:

Marty Brodeur - 2012 - Age 40 - 2 year 7.5% of cap ($6.2M today)
Ryan Miller - 2017 - Age 36 - 2 year 2.67% of cap ($2.2M today)
Tim Thomas - 2013 - Age 39 - 1 year 3.89% of cap ($3.2M today)
Henrik Lundqvist - 2020 - Age 39 - 1 year 1.84% of cap ($1.5M today)
Pekka Rinne - 2018 - Age 35 - 2 year 6.29% of cap ($5.2M today)

Henrik Lundqvist is the outlier in my opinion, but it can be explained by taking a bit less to stay in NY for his final season.</div></div>

I can live with 2 years at $3.5M. Gives TOR a chance to bring a young goalie up to learn from MAF.

Thread: Getting younger and tougher

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jim_Benning_Almost</b></div><div>I disagree. You're judging Poolman after one subpar year in Vancouver where he played half the season, and the other half hurting. He is FAR MORE (and I mean FAAAARRRRR) defensively responsible than Holl. The Leafs could play him with Sandin.

I agree that Kerfoot could be more than I'm offering, maybe upgrading the offer to a 3rd rounder, then maybe a 2nd if Kerfoot signs an extension.</div></div>

They way you've structured this deal says otherwise.

You're trading away a contract with term, for two expiring contracts and you're willing to retain half salary for three years on Poolman.

If he's FARRRRRRRR more defensively responsible than Holl, maybe you should keep him.

Thread: Mrazek

I've seen you comment on plenty of Mrazek to TOR deals that didn't come with this price tag.

You're well aware TOR won't accept this.

Thread: Realistic Blues

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jwg314</b></div><div>I think that 3rd pairing would get a good 16-17 minutes a night. I like Sandin’s game but we can scrap that deal if people don’t like it. Buchnevich isn’t going anywhere, we’d let ROR and/or Tarasenko walk before that happens.

I think the value is rather good for both sides but I don’t blame you if you don’t like it.</div></div>

Granted I don't know much about Mikkola, he very well could be the better defenseman at the moment. His age would have a factor in that.

At this point, I'd rather take my chances on the younger player. He can still have some sheltered minutes if need be, plenty of vet presence in the lineup.

Thread: Realistic Blues

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>If they do trade him it would be for a young RD that is NHL ready with similar potential.

On that note, I have no clue who those guys are, what position they play, their potential, or their readiness so can;t comment anymore.</div></div>

Mikkola has played roughly the same amount of games. More so in the playoffs due to this past season. Except he's 4 years older and has arbitration rights. Makes more sense to keep the younger player you've spent a few years developing. Plus he'll be cheaper.

Not realistic at all with that TOR trade.

Makes way more sense for TOR to keep Sandin.

Next offseason is going to be very interesting in TB. Cerelli, Serg, Cernak and Foote all due for new contracts.

Maybe it isn't a good idea to sign Palat?

You're right, there is a worthless body in that trade. It's just not who you think it is.

Why not give Kuemper that kind of money? Better to bet on a goalie you know if they're going to roughly cost the same. At least in my opinion.

Thread: Leafs let the youth play

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs3416</b></div><div>Ya I guess that would be part of the risk. In this case I guess they could keep Kerfoot and not resign Blackwell, use Kerfoot to flip with Nylander if needed. Or move Holl and keep Kerfoot???</div></div>

Try and swindle MAF to sign a two year deal (edit: didn't realize you've already done so). Then you decide who your long term goalie is. Whether that's Kallgren, Woll, whoever. Bring them up and back up MAF. Saves you over a million in space, it's enough to keep Kerfoot with the scenario you have here.

Worst case scenario, move Holl and find yourself a Bogosian type of player in the bargain bin to be your 7th defender.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri. at 10:01 p.m.

Thread: Leafs let the youth play

Who takes Nylanders spot when Keefe inevitably puts him with Kampf and Engvall? That second line would look pretty bleak if Robertson doesn't step up. It would be one of the kids on the 4th line, which would pretty much make that second line useless.

All the more reason to not trade Kerfoot.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Was thinking the same thing

I think he gets 1 more year in Vancouver and if he still doesnt take that next step is probs gonna be traded.</div></div>

Probably shouldn't wait that long if that's the case. If he doesn't take the next step then his contract will be even harder to move.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Ooooofff that is a bad deal. You don't sign depth to term, ever.

CF users once again demonstrating a total lack of understanding in risk of term is pretty funny. This contract is awful and is extremely unlikely to age well in the near ish future let alone the next half decade +

Good for him though.</div></div>

Pretty condescending of you.

Thread: Tampa Bay Lightning signed Nicholas Paul (7 Years / $3,150,000 AAV)

Seems similar to the Goodrow contract.

Smart for Paul. He'll be there as long as Kuch, Point and Vas at the very least. Giving himself a shot to win pretty well every year.

I think he left some money on the table, but good for him.

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Timothy Liljegren (2 Years / $1,400,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jr400</b></div><div>You think Lyubushkin has earned money and term? He’s 28 years old and has never had more than a 1-year contract. Never earned more than $1.35M. What do you think it would take to sign him now?</div></div>

It's just a hunch. He's 28 and this is probably the opportunity to cash in as much as possible. His agent should be pushing for it.

My uneducated guess would be a similar contract to Holl. Around $2M on a multi year deal.

I liked Boosh, but I think there's more value in Holls money come off the books next season than have Boosh for potentially a few years as a depth defenseman.

Any chance you have a link to these rumours? Or at least the source who claimed it, I can look it up.

Seems like a lot of movement on the goalie front to not end up with an upgrade.

I don't think I was unkind, just stating a fact.

TOR may have to ship out a contract, but it sure won't be Brodies. If you believe he's washed, you haven't been watching. It blows my mind how many 2 on 1's he broke up last year.

No thanks from TOR. They already have a goaltender with a not so great contract that they're trying to move, doesn't make sense to acquire another one.

This kind of deal would be somewhat of a last resort move by TOR to get a goaltender.

If it gets to that point, I've got no issues with this deal.
