Thread: Brad Sept 28 2019 - Opening Roster
I know harper got sent down today....not sure why? He's by far better than marincin. marincin is the Pizza King...non-stop pizza's (givaways) every shift....not sure why he is being rewarded for this...ya he can skate a bit and has a long reach but if you have non stop giveaways, you will always be playing on defense....harpur makes plays all over the ice. good heads up with the puck, poise, confidence, touch, long reach...yes his footspeed is bad but his stride is decent and he can make up for the lack of footspeed with his reach...hes a smart player....I do understand however if babcock is simply trying to reward players that have spent more time with the organization (if its a close call that is)...but this is not a close call....im very upset about this.

Also, ceci is a 5/6 defensement on a good team....$4.5M is too much to pay for a 5/6...we should trade him for a pick and promote dermott and sandin into the top 5 positions with harpur the #6 dman and marincin the #7 dman....trading ceci will allow the team to grab a depth player or another dman or scorer at the trade deadline (you could also just keep him as a depth defensemen for the playoff run)

Thread: Start of the Season Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmurrayt</b></div><div>Pretty risky to do a 20 man roster. Even if farm team is based in same city, both NHL an AHL teams travel, you run a risk of having games with 18-19 players on the ice. Likely someone is getting traded, but like the Marleau trade, Toronto will be dealing from a position of weakness and will most likely have to give up an additional asset if it is Ceci being moved.</div></div>

dermot and hyman will be on LTIR for first 12-14 games. this opens up cap space for rest of the year since there replacements make less on the cap. Also, they may keep 0 spares at home and maybe only still 0-1 spare on the road if necessary. Moving cross country is not that difficult with private jets. Also, this is exactly why they signed all these depth 4-6 liners on 1 way deals (so no other team will pick them up off waivers).
