Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Mikhail Abramov (3 Years / $809,444 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenkins</b></div><div>I mean ... he's certainly playing like it:

<strong>Nick Abruzzese | TOR | 124th Overall (2019)</strong>
2019-20 Stats = NCAA (Rookie)
Games Played = <strong>31</strong>
Points / Game = <strong>1.42</strong>
Points / 82 GP = <strong>117</strong>

<strong>Alex Turcotte | LAK | 5th Overall (2019)</strong>
2019-20 Stats = NCAA (Rookie)
Games Played = <strong>29</strong>
Points / Game = <strong>0.89</strong>
Points / 82 GP = <strong>73</strong>

<strong>Cole Caufield | MTL | 15th Overall (2019)</strong>
2019-20 Stats = NCAA (Rookie)
Games Played = <strong>36</strong>
Points / Game = <strong>1.00</strong>
Points / 82 GP = <strong>82</strong>


<strong>It's also fair (and obvious) to note that:</strong>

<strong>Kapanen</strong> ($3,200,000 x 3 years)
<strong>Johnsson</strong> ($3,400,000 x 4 years)
<strong>Kerfoot</strong> ($3,500,000 x 4 years)
<strong>Engvall</strong> ($1,200,000 x 2 years)
<strong>Muzzin</strong> ($5,600,000 x 4 years)

<strong>Have all signed extremely fair (some below market value) extensions since the AM + MM extensions.</strong>
And that all the star forwards who signed bridge deals are going to get paid when they expire (Tkachuk, Laine, Boeser, Point, McAvoy, etc).
If next years cap is in the middle of NHL estimates ($86,000,000) than we can expect much larger increases via Seattle + the new US TV deal.
Which will also give the Leafs tons of cap-space in the last 2-3 years of the Matthews, Marner and Nylander's contracts (during their prime).</div></div>

I'm excited about Nick Abruzzese's NCAA season as well, but bear in mind that he is 2 years older than Caufield and Turcotte. It's more like his Junior year in college.
Also note that this contract is for Mikhail Abramov, confusing because the Leafs mostly drafted Nick's and Mick's in 2019.

Thread: Is Jensen really a fit
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>I can definitely see him as a fit for a team like Toronto or Tampa where they love to attack and Jensens skating is great. I was actually kinda surprised how good it actually was. He can get the puck out with ease. What would you like for him if Toronto called? (considering they would trade Ceci at that point)</div></div>

I was dying for Jensen to come to the leafs last year! They would need to unload Ceci's contract (and could retain $$), and guys available are Moore, Timashov, Bracco, none of whom quite make for a fair deal.... Any interest in Hyman or Mikheyev? I'd hate to see Mikheyev go, but he'd fit in with the RMNB. As much as ACGM thinks Kapanen and Johnsson are available, they probably aren't.
