Thread: Absolute Best Case Offer Sheet Scenario
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tyson</b></div><div>He is a hell of a player. I watch a lot of Junior hockey and saw a lot of him when he was in Kitchener - the kid has some great hands and is smart. Mason Marchment is another guy to watch for also. His numbers in Junior were not outstanding, but hes looking like hes a bit of a late bloomer. He has some size and he can put the puck in the net. Its nice that these guys can develop under the radar a bit as they aren't getting the attention that the 1st rounders are.</div></div>

Since Shanahan has arrived, Toronto has put more effort into player development than any other team. I'd wager that player development is even more important than scouting. Really any player that gets drafted will have a tonne of skills and talents, but unless they are taught how to maximize their potential they can just flop. Look at Edmonton as an example of the opposite. They can't develop a player to save their lives.

Thread: Canes trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FanBoy</b></div><div>I think CAR needs new forwards cus they're lacking in offense. Puljujarvi for Faulk 1 for 1 is fair except you'd need to add salary from EDM side. Rask is way overpaid and is border line 4C (not solid) and Spooner is a marginal upgrade on Rask. Lucic is the type of player rebuilding teams need on their roster for leadership. Lucic also has a higher PPG than Rask does with atleast twice as much games played 0.57 &gt; 0.47 PPG. So if you think Lucic is junk, Rask is worst. In this whole deal, Puljujarvi has the highest potential to explode alongside Aho, which is why its way more appealing to CAR. CAR is losing with these players, the Oilers are barely above .500.

Lucic &gt; Rask, Foegele + Faulk = Spooner + Puljujarvi = . Not based on skill, based on team needs.</div></div>

Lol you are way off. Canes decline easily. Nobody is taking Looch and Spooner is garbage. Rask and Foeggle are nothing special by any means but they are worth more than Looch and Spooner. Faulk is worth more than pool party.

Try Hamilton/Rask/Darling for Nuge/Talbot/Spooner

Thread: Next Year
I don't if it's just Leafs haters that think Horton's LTIR next year affect the cap This has been discussed endlessly for years. And there was a reason why the Leafs traded for Horton and Columbus took Clarkson a few years ago JUICE in the above post gives the reason why
Gagner affects the cap not Horton.
Again let's go over the the only reason why a team MIGHT want to trade a LTIR for cap reason. It MIGHT affect when a team can pay it's performance bonuses.....that's the only detriment to have a player on LTIR and getting cap relief for the current year. So for this year and this year only, the Leafs have Horton "on the roster", so they can pay most or all of their performance bonuses this year, and not have a carryover of the large 2018/19 Bonuses into the very expensive 2019/20.
