Thread: still a chance to add a 3 million Dman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>This is true, but your forward depth is significantly worse. Holl is closer to being a #4 D than any of your forwards outside of the big 4 are to being legitimate 3rd line guys. Kampf is not a 3rd liner. Neither are Simmonds, Mikheyev, Engvall, etc. Ritchie/Bunting/Kase maybe but all do have some question marks (penalties, sample size, health) that maybprevent them from being 3rd liners. Robertson is a rookie and shouldn’t be put that high in the lineup immediately. Kerfoot is the only guaranteed 3rd liner you have, but you want rid of him for some reason. To put it another way, Mathieu Joseph was Tampa’s 11th best forward, and he’d be 6th best on the Leafs, so I’m not sure why you’d want rid of one of the 5 guys better than him, that forward depth is significantly more important.</div></div>

Well it'd be interesting to compare the Leafs and Tbay within a couple years, when Tbay will be blowing $45 million on 5 players also (Kuch, Point and Vasei @ 9.5, Stammer @ 8.5 and Hedman at 8).

Easy bet is Tbay will still be better than the Tor.

As for Robertson, look at his brother in Dallas, give him a Top 6 role out of the gate.

Thread: Washington Capitals signed Alex Ovechkin (5 Years / $9,500,000 AAV)
He should have been less than 100 goals away from breaking Gretzky's goal record.

2004, his rookie year was the canceled season. Using Matthews as an example, I think it's easy to say a 19 year old Ovie would score 40 goals.

2012, lockout season, minus 34 games. At the scoring pace he was on that season; add another 20 goals.

2019 and 2020 Covid seasons, cost him 40 games played. At the pace he was scoring at; add another 20 goals.

By comparison ; Gretzky had only one work stoppage during his career, the 1994 lockout. Which cost him 36 games, but at his scoring rate that season, maybe add another 8 goals to his total.

oh. and also this contract should have been $40 million for 5 years, making it a $8 million AAV, just like his jersey number.
