Thread: Toronto retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kous</b></div><div>The Leaf's are in win now mode so why would they take a step back? 2 years later Matthews might be gone. They are on the cusp of breaking through. They need to lock up a real #1 and I would like to see them add a solid power forward on the wing and you can add D depth at the deadline</div></div>

Oh for sure, and if the cap didn't exist, they could easily do all of that. What moves allow them to do all that you just suggested? Right now, they cant even sign a backup goalie... Nevermind a T6 power forward a #1 goalie and depth on D...

We've seen teams retool mid push, I agree they're close but unless you can move JT, its going to be a struggle. This team I made isn't very much worse, except for the Nylander removal, and who knows how long a winger like Slafkovski (at 6'4" and 220lbs already) is going to take to make an impact at the NHL level.

Thread: Addressing Leafs Needs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>emoprettyboy</b></div><div>I don't understand the Sens' motivation to do that trade. if they're retaining on Murray and taking on Mrazek, then the cap hit is basically the same as if they just kept Murray, who was the better goalie last season (although that's not saying much), and has a higher chance of just ending up on LTIR and being a complete non-issue for the Sens. can't be bothered to look too specifically into their contracts so maybe the Sens end up needing to pay out less real salary, but from a pure hockey standpoint, looks to me like Toronto gets the slightly better goalie with the smaller cap hit and while the Sens get the slightly worse goalie without any cap relief</div></div>


Exactly this. Ottawa could retain on Murray OR take Mrazek but not both. It would be far better from Ottawa's standpoint to buy out Murray. This is silly. Ottawa saves NO money and gets the worse goalie of the 2.
