Thread: What I think is Marner worth and what I see as realistic team next season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tacotaker1</b></div><div>I would put Rosen in the lineup and not worry about getting a player for zaitzev</div></div>

As much as there's this palatable frenzy of anxiety about how the leafs need to lose some roster players, Id say the cupboard is still ok with Rosen (allstar ahl d, near the top of league scoring by dmen) Bracco (ppg winger in the A who seems to win everywhere he goes) Marchment (fiesty and with a set of mitts) and of course, Moore, who is probably better than some of the roster players now..

I actually like that the cap means some guys gotta go, cause, if for no other reason, it lets other guys in and we get to see what they got. All is well in leafland.. even if we might not believe it

Thread: Next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>I know everybody says it's too risky, but give M n' M a 5 year deal which will knock maybe 2 million dollars off the 8 year deal. Chi did this with Kane/Toews, Tbay did it with Stamkos, all three got cheaper 5 year deals to help keep their teams in Cup contention and all 3 players didn't leave as UFA and signed 8 year deals afterall. Scary thought after seeing John T screw the NYI but this idea can and has worked. Marner loves the Leafs, he'll do a 5 yr than a 8 yr to keep the Leafs in Cup contention, it's only the American Matthews you'll have to worry about taking the early UFA status to go back home. Nylander (if not traded away by than) will be UFA and I highly doubt he'll keep loyal to the Leafs.</div></div>

Agreed. Im not entirely sure why the majority of us assume that an 8yr deal is what will happen, that its in the best interest of both player and team, or that it hasn't been proven successful before to sign star rfas to 5/6 yr deals

Thread: Need defence help
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juice</b></div><div>I looked at this again and really cringed....for Toronto to be sucessful in the coming years...we're going to need a steady pipeline of marlies ready to fill in bottom 6 roles on cheap contracts when some of our complimentary players price themselves off this team.

Giving away all those draft picks for 1 shot this early in the process is wasteful....thankfully those teams wouldn't accept those offers anyway</div></div>

To start, so Zaitsev isn't worth a 2nd round pick? I don't particularly like him, but he's definitely worth Calgary's 2nd round pick.

Why wouldn't the Shark's trade Big Joe to Toronto? What's wrong with Toronto? :angry Tacotaker1 has it right when he says: " Leafs would be giving up a lot for old 4th line players."

I personally like the 4th line I created and the drugs I'm on. :flushed
