Thread: flat cap next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Silkysmooth42</b></div><div>He is going for 8 mil on the open market, but has expressed that he will take a discount to stay in boston. So you are right, but for the wrong reason lol. he will go for 7 mil for 6 years is the best guess

As far as "overrated" LOL

Him and Carlo had one of the top 3 best defensive ratings in the NHL this past year, so either Carlo is the best defensive dman in the NHL or krug is actually very good defensively too. He is also a brilliant offensive player (though not the best). He is rated exactly where he should be by most people, but more likely he is underrated when he isnt included in peoples TEAM USA rosters etc etc.</div></div>

Put him on the Red Wings and he would be nothing special. He is inflated playing on a great team.

Thread: JOE THORNTON COMES HOME TO WIN A CUP FOR THE LEAFS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingLundqvist30</b></div><div>It’s not even that I’m negative on all the leafs posts. Just it annoys me when people think that Justin Holl is a top 4 shutdown defenseman and that Sandin and Lilli are NHL ready (although Sandin is more ready than Lil). To be honest with you, I’m a closet leafs fan. Just annoys me that their fan base overvalues their players so much. Granted, all fan bases do, but when Toronto is the center of the hockey universe, it’s hard to escape. You’re right, I have been harsh on leafs fans and I apologize for being so rude.</div></div>

I am a die hard Leafs fan from the westcoast of Canada and the Leafs fan base is increditable. You need to book a flight to Vancouver and watch the Canucks play the Leafs at home with approximately 10,000 Leafs fans at the game and then you will know what I am talking about and you will have a different perspective.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jmac490</b></div><div>Jumbo on the second line would slow everything down. I'd rather throw him on the 4th line with Clifford and Engvall to make a checking 4th line.

Rock out with
Hyman-Matthews-Marner/Nylander
Mikheyev-Tavares-Marner/Nylander
Kappy-Insert 3C here (could be Kerfoot)-Spezza
Clifford-Thornton-Engvall
Rielly-Dermott (or RHD equivalent, not named Montour)
Muzzin-Holl
Sandin-Dermott/Lehtonen

Then have Barbanov and Marincin as extras (Let Lily get more time in the A to grow)

I also don't think Jumbo will bring a cup home. He'd be one of the only Leafs able to grow a Playoff beard though (and Muzz too).</div></div>

You might be right about what line he plays on but you and I both know he would still be deadly on the powerplay. He also has tremendous leadership skills and I think he would find the fountain of youth playing in Toronto. I think the success of the Spezza deal makes it even more likely that Dubas goes back to the well with Thornton and do not underestimate his abilities.
