Thread: plz dubas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jake4leafs</b></div><div>i can see bunting taking 3.75x8. theres bunting crouse knies as our top LW is solid af</div></div>

I can see that, but I don't think Dubas will want to offer him more than 6 years though. He might still sign that but who knows?

I'll have to admit that I'm incredibly low on ARZ players in general. You might remember me comparing Crouse to Ritchie, but he's gapping him now at least in goals, so I'm less pessimistic about him failing in Toronto. That being said the 4.3m cap hit would still make things incredibly tight next year, and going forward, so there's no room for error there. The fit will have to be great and he will have to produce without failure even if it's 20-25 goals and 60 points. If he can PK then that would be great too, but I saw his card from the off-season and that didn't look great, but maybe it changed.

Thread: imagine
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>MacKinnon's $12.6 seems like the base...I'd say anywhere between there and $14. I don't know how you go much higher if you're a GM though. I'd absolutely be trying to hammer that $hittttt out as soon as they're able to though. A year of "Matthews is a pending UFA! We need to trade him for 86 1st round picks!!!", or "Matthews is a pending UFA! Trade him for Tanner Jeanot!!!" threads will be more than I can handle.</div></div>

weird one because like yea, bet you some team would clear the cap and give anything he wanted for 7 years. Could definitely get more than 14M. But to me that sounds like about where the number will land in Toronto. I think him leaving is overplayed and the main reason he signed 5yrs was for flexibility and maximizing earnings.

Lets pray the leafs advance past the first round so he re-signs in the summer and we don't have to listen to crap all year from fans and media alike

Thread: Edmundson trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>For those who think Chiarot is the exception and shouldn't have returned a 1st + and that Edmundson won't get a 1st + 2nd, I would like to remind you that Kulak who is a good bottom 4 D man but is no where near the same calibre as Chiarot returned a 2nd a struggling prospect and a 7th. Chiarot's return is on par with a middle pairing guy on a decent contract with retention. Eddy will return better than Chiarot (if he can remain healthy) Expect the return to be around a 1st + 2nd or good prospect. Using Edmonton as an example the return would be 2023 1st + Holloway or Schaefer, if we have to take back cap you can expect to upgrade the prospect to like Bourgault or Broberg depending on the amount of cap we take back (if it's just Foegle then maybe you just add a 3rd if it is Foegle and Puljujarvi or Barrie then the prospect is upgraded)</div></div>

I will admit, i may have overreacted. It is possible a 1st could be involved, but I doubt anyone would give up a 2023 1st for him. And NONE of the prospects/young players you mentioned would ever be involved, especially not along side a 1st round pick.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>I have an ACGM last TDL where every response said the same thing as you more or less. One said I specifically remember, "all garbage, worth nothing"

I had Kulak going for a 3rd. He went for more w/ a 2nd.

I had Lehkonen going for a 2nd rounder. Went for a 2nd and Barron

I had Chiarot going for a 2nd and a 3rd, Went for a 1st, 4th and a prospect.

So yeah maybe you should live in this reality not your own delusion of what is real and what isn't real. It amazes when some like you never fail to gaslight with ad hominem attacks.

And the 2022 draft was not great, the 2023 draft is considered on the strongest draft in a while. Teams will be more reluctant to trade those picks this year. All those players were having good seasons. Can the same be said for this players this year, no a d with a deep draft the odds are slimmer. Not living in fantasy land but in reality and situation at hand. Times are not the same from year to year.

Charoit having record year, can you say the same for Edmunsson?

Armia is a cap hurting player not some the same as AL

Dvorak is nice 3rd line player but is not worth a 2 d and a good defenseman and the JP may have legs because neither players is anyrhing good and Hoffman may have value if he stays on ltir.
