Thread: If They Go All In

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_fan13</b></div><div>Gotta love when this guy thinks the leafs who won’t make the playoffs and also thinks marner is overpaid and Jake guenztel is better. Don’t listen to this clown</div></div>

Guennztel is better than Nylander but not Marner.

Thread: If They Go All In

I'd love to see the Leafs fail to make the playoffs, poor wunderkid Dubas would be so embarrassed, I'd love to hear his excuses.

Thread: Rangers fans view on the leafs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newballcoach</b></div><div>Toronto can't really do that deal since it doesn't leave them enough money to activate Muzzin and Rielly off of LTIR when they come eligible. At that point they'd have to move another player to create that space.

If they are adding somebody, the salary would have to be sub 2's I imagine. Maybe if SJ retains.</div></div>

This website isn't perfect to compare bi-week to bi-week NHL pay checks. When a Marner or Tavares goes on the IR for a month their paychecks don't count on against the cap, with their high salaries, a month's payday frees up over 1+ million. This is how Dubas has "cheated" the Cap Hell this year.

Thread: Just for fun Vaive Vs Matthews

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Now look at era revised stats. The nhl is a much different landscape now.</div></div>

In my description I clearly stated I know the fact that Matthews is better, just on paper and the Leafs record book, Auston needs to pass 54 goals and score at a 46 goal per 82 game rate for 6.5 seasons to be better than Vaive.

This argument also applies to Ovie Vs. Gretzky, Wayne's 92 goal season came when the average goalie couldn't stop a beachball.

Thread: TDL moves

Dubas needs to add team toughness for a long playoff run, Timashov might be small but he does forecheck (he made the team only to replace Kadri's intensity, bonus is he (and Marchment) are cheap forecheckers) and Ceci may occasionally use his size. Tanev is not the answer and overpaying for a backup (NYR probably will not trade him, Lundqvist is a $8 million backup goalie who no one wants) when it's obvious that Keefe and Hutch have a trusted relationship. Babcock had no faith in Hutch (or Sparks) Babs only liked Mclehinney.

Check your facts before posting, Dubas did not trade to get Marincin but Dubas was the intern GM in the summer of 2015 who resigned his extension and Dubas has kept resigning him to new contracts ever since.

Thread: Buying and selling

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>Montour would compare to Rasmus Andersson - just signed 4.6x6</div></div>

I'm still looking at Trouba because he signed a 2 year bridge (@ $3) similar to Montour 2 year bridge (@3.3) than he got his 1 year $5.5 followed by 7 year x $8. So on a long term deal Montour should almost double his salary. And Dubas just tripled Holl's salary; so Montour as a Leaf would get $9, tehe.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>What has Montour done to ask for Trouba money?</div></div>

I'm not talking about the 8 million UFA Trouba money people, duh!!! , I'm talking about the RFA contract he signed for 5.5 million. If the Leafs are spending 5.5 million it'll probably be placed away for Muzzin. Which would be a bad contract for Dubas. At least Dubas isn't afraid to allow his own UFA's walk away (JVR, Bozak, Komarov, Hainsey, Gardiner, McElhinney) previous Leaf GM's made bad contract mistakes by not learning when to let go.

Thread: Dermotts contract value

Jake McCabe comparable ? He signed 1.6 million for 3 years in the summer of 2016, with 4 years of inflation that'll equal what ?

Though McCabe never hit the 100 game mark before that contract and Dermott might hit 160.

Madison Bowey ? though he signed a 1 year 1 million deal.

If the Leafs lose in the 1st Rd again for the next 2 years, no matter how well Dubas was by avoiding dead cap space and signing talent, he'd be fired.

Any comparables from other teams ?

Holl is currently higher on the Leafs depth chart but is older and plays the more important RH shot. hmm....

Thread: next year from within

The way Engvall and Mikheyev are playing they'll earn the same deals Hyman and Brown got, 2 plus million. While yes, Timashov and Brooks will get a deal just like Moore and Petan got. Dermott is really hard to gauge, could be as low as Holl or as high as Ceci, you can never tell with Dubas.

btw, since when was Pietro playing in the Leafs system ?

Thread: Fergurson was the gm

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>That is the era Dubas lives in, young players contribute more and the cap is higher. I agree that JFJ got a raw deal, mainly because owner ship wanted to win no matter what but your thoughts on Dubas are just out to lunch. Anyone that doesn't see future problems with those short term Bridge deals signed over the summer is just willfully ignoring what those are going to mean. They will 100% not mean guys like Tkachuk sign in 3 years for 9 million a year for 8 years. They are going to want huge money and term. Look at Meier and tell me his deal is anything short of terrible. He had 1 30 goal 60 point season and he's going to make 10 million when his contract is up or walk to FA. His QO will be 10 million. What's Laine going to demand on his next deal when the US TV deal and Seattle expansion both add revenue to the league? Remember when everyone said Nylander was overpaid and should be making 3.5 million? What a joke that was. Dubas had been terrific. The ones that don't see that still think if you are a huge and rough team you can win. How is that working out for LA?</div></div>

Nylander has always been compared with other guys from his Draft: low $6's - Elhors and Larkin, mid $6's - Pastranek and Nylander's agent favorite - Draisaitl (mid $8). Would have been nice not to have Nylander have his 1 season entry level slide and he could have signed in the same summer as Elhors and Larkin but Nylander can be a $7 player with the Elite center, take away the Elite center and the Leafs got a Elhors skill/money value level player.

Dubas $47 million Top 6 forward group compared to the $18 million Top 6 Dman group is totally whacked out.

Thread: Fergurson was the gm

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>I think he gets a bad rep that is undeserved. He was ordered to make the playoffs at all costs and did what he could until finally ownership said we need to rebuild and then Sundin and company refused to waive their no trade clauses. It wasn't entirely his fault. Its hard to tell what he would have been able to do if he was able to do his thing.</div></div>

JFJ had to deal with the start of the salary cap era in the NHL, and we all know what the Leafs and Quinn did to the player budget with their aging roster. Now it's the opposite with Dubas, he had a very cheap young talented team and he is the one blowing up the player budget.

Thread: Addition by subtraction

I thought you'd trade Johnsson, with the Leafs depth on LW (Hyman, Kerfoot, Mikheyev, Engvall, Timashov, Moore, Marchment, Petan and Robertson), he is trade bait so the Leafs can save $$$ to resign or trade for a Dman.

I was wrong about Great 8's scoring the Falling Down Goal, the 'Yotes goalie was Brian Boucher, though I'm pretty sure Tellqvist had played in that game too. You can see Gretzky's reaction behind the bench coaching the 'Yotes, he was like "damn this kid is better than me".

I think Morgan Reilly feelings are hurt worse than mine. Sadly McDavid will have to keep playing at this level for another decade before anyone will remember him more than Crosby or Ovie.

The next closest example of that kind of "sportsmanship" from another Elite superstar, would be when Ovie scored a goal laying his on back the ice with a backhand shot against the 'Yotes against a former Leaf backup goalie Tellqvist. Now you thought comparing Matthews to McDavid was an insult, how's McDavid hotdogging like Ovie make you feel >?

A bonus of that clip was Gretzky was in the building to watch that goal too.
