I knows it early but is it too harsh to admit I am assuming the fetal position as each game begins?

Then why didnt hecsign for league minimum?

Cause your wrong, but hockey is not just about making money.

Pulock could have got more easily.
Should fire his agent for settling for less.

Thread: Ottawa Senators signed Brady Tkachuk (7 Years / $8,205,714 AAV)

I'm really surprised he moved away from getting a 3 year bridge deal but woof is this bad.

Hes not worth this and the full NMC at the end of the deal makes it so much worse.

Thread: Mikheyev gone

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MatthewsFan</b></div><div>I was hoping Gusev would pan out but he looks slow, easily pushed off the puck, pretty one dimensional, tons of skill but not made for the NHL. I would be pretty surprised if the Leafs or another team offers him a contract. I think he is KHL bound and will kill it there.

For me: Ritchie Bunting Mikheyev Robertson Ho-Sang are all better options for the top 6 than Gusev.</div></div>

Is there another external you would go for?

Thread: Mikheyev gone

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan16</b></div><div>Gusev dosent look very good I dont think hes gonna get a contract and hes gonna end up going back to the KHL also Josh Ho Sang impressed this pre season he derves a spot over Gusev. Also why do we need Demers when we have Liligren who looks like hes ready he looked decent playing with Muzzin. Also Simmonds over engvall cuz he throws the body and hes making uner 1 mill.</div></div>

I like Liljergen.
But I would hate to have on the big club and not play much.

Demers is just a guy to me who is RD.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MatthewsFan</b></div><div>https://twitter.com/kristen_shilton/status/1443592890416988166?s=20

Could be wrong but IMO he is a lock for the top 6. At least to start the year. IMO opening night will be:
Ritichie Matthews Marner
Mikheyev Tavares Nylander
Bunting Kerfoot Spezza
Simmonds Kampf Kase

Edit:
Curious, what have you seen from Gusev to warrant a contract. I thought he has looked way too slow. Terrible skating stride. He is KHL bound IMO</div></div>

Tbh Gusev started as a joke.

"Goose is loose"

It comes down to cost and cap.
I like adding a D and moving Mikheyev out.

Is there a internal option not Gusev?
Sure, not married to him.

Thread: Tavares went to SJS

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sign_em_up000000</b></div><div>If Tavares went to San Jose we likley wouldn't have made the Colorado deal so Kadri either would have been traded elsewhere or most likley kept and Kerfoot wouldn't be a leaf as well. Also, Matthew's and Marners contracts likley wouldn't have cost us as much. Crazy to think of the ripple affect 1 move can have.

I wonder what Trickster and onex think of this?</div></div>

I'm JT fan, I wanted Leafs to tank to draft him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sign_em_up000000</b></div><div>He's a hell of a defenceman but I don't see anyway Tampa would trade him unless they absolutely have to and it wouldn't be in division IMO. That being said he'd be a huge add if Dubas could manage to pull it off.

Who else do you think would ve a good fit besides Dunn, Lindholm, Ekholm and Sergachev? I haven't looked in to it enough and you're our out of the box thinker.</div></div>

I wanted Dahlin.

Thread: Minnesota Wild signed Kirill Kaprizov (5 Years / $9,000,000 AAV)

I have been waiting to post in here.
I have mixed feelings on this contract.

I really dislike the precedent this contract is setting, less than 1 season equals 9 million AAV?

Wild definitely needed to sign Kaprizov.

The issue for the Wild will be in the years after this season, for next 3 seasons, so much dead cap space.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sign_em_up000000</b></div><div>You're right he's not a number one but I like the depth he would add if Muzzin gets injured. He's not my top choice I just think he'd be a good add.

Lindholm would be better and wouldn't cost assets to aquire, it just depends on how much $ he's looking for in fa.

Rielly should be traded but I think that ship has sailed at this point.</div></div>

Thoughts on Sergachev???

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sign_em_up000000</b></div><div>I agree 💯. He's not a top pair guy I just like him as a nice depth piece if Muzzin goes down again.

Under 6 million would be the dream for 5 years

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sign_em_up000000</b></div><div>You're 💯 right. My thinking was if we gave him a long-term deal and he started too decline than we'd be more handcuffed assuming we're still trying to compete throughout those years apposed to if we were rebuilding. That being said we need to see what kind of success we have this year and how big of a step Sandin takes if at all in his development.</div></div>

I would love some more detailed view on Lindholm when it comes to injuries and longevity.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sign_em_up000000</b></div><div>We were talking about Vince Dunn before, what do you think of adding him via trade after getting his new contract?

I would still like to add him but he doesn't have the term or aav I would like and would be worried about his next contract.</div></div>

I like Dunn, but is he a #1D?
No.
To me would fit perfect next to Muzzin on 2nd pair

Lindholm is solid overall and can fill that #1 roll better other guys I have looked at it.

I really Rielly traded in a package to get Dahlin.
Sergachev is on my list too, no pay TB trades within division
