Thread: lets get these boys on the cap compliant train WOOOOO
hes been injured and he is more a middle six fwd, plays PK and PP and a cheap contract.

what Goryiev ... a back up goaltender capable of what 20-25 games and will be apart of 12-15 wins in that time ??? or does everyone think hes a starting goalie in the making?

its funny that everyone on here blast leafs agms for any trade saying they over value someone on their team and nobody wants their crap and then turn around and say they should take everyones back up or bottom six fwd and pay through the nose.

I don't think Dubas has been fleeced on a trade yet the Ceci trade go the leafs out of 5 years of zaitsev and cleared cap. Kadri wasn't going to do what hes doing in Col playing 3rd line minutes and i don't think that trade turned out the way the leafs wanted but kerfoot could still turn into something and barrie .. well hes good for a 2.75m D man .. hes just not what he was in Col but im not sure who could have predicted that.

i think a 2nd is more that enough for a little proven backup, throw in a roster player and a b prospect and thats an overpay.

Thread: Why does no one complain about the Matthew Contract
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CBJ4CUP</b></div><div>Yes I agree, I just don't understand how Marner is becoming the bad guy in this, when Matthews got exactly what he wanted</div></div>

its not the $ value its the tactics that people don't like, hi agent is threatening offer sheets or playing in Europe rather than keeping things out of the media. Matthews didn't just walk into dubas' office and say give me this, I'm sure it was a long process with lots of conversation and transparent negotiation from both sides. Paul Marner doesn't help things either if the rumours are true about him saying mitch deserves this and that. paul and mitch's agent aren't going to get far by trying to embarrass Dubas and Shanny, its just going to create tensions.

Thread: No cap space for Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Willian_Cardoso</b></div><div>Are u ok with 4 offensive players being responsible for almost 50% of Toronto's salary cap? So, you think D and goalie positions are not that important, don't you? That's insane. I can't disagree more with you. Year after year we've been seen that just teams with solid D and great goalie performances wins Cups. Prove me that I'm wrong and I'll change my mind. But I'm pretty sure that you can't.</div></div>

would both Pens wins not count, yes they got good goal tending performances but they weren't high priced guys at the time. also Pits defense was mediocre at best but they won by committee. I don't think you can adequately correlate cap spent to cup wins, not every cup winner spent to the cap, sometimes you get break out performances by players you don't expect (Eller from last year for example) if you spend on a few stars and surround them with some decent complimentary pieces and fill the rest out with ELC's and other small contracts you can win. I'm not saying its ideal to spend a lot on a few but whats the alternative pay everyone 3-4 million ... that team would suck. Also if they get him for a few years the cap will go up and that 50% in 4 guys you speak of will be 35-40% in a couple years. whats your ideal star spend to the rest of the team?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>???? I admit the RHD is unproven. But Haisney plays on the right side, so it's he doesn't affect the left side weakness. My thought Dermot and Borgman will be fine.
Your statement....trading cap dump Zaitsev for someone of valu, , seems like an impossible trade if he's a not playing to 4.5m contract.</div></div>

I was hoping Hainsley would be 3LD this year, but yes he plays right side which they actually have some upcoming depth in now but all unproven. in terms of getting rid of Zaitsev as a cap dump I should have been more clear as in adding Brown or someone like that and maybe a pick to get a middle of the road defender to play PK/ bottom pair and some possible 2nd pair options.

That being said the leafs aren't in the cap crunch everyone thinks they are that they need to get rid of a Nylander or kadri .. they can trade Brown, Hyman, kap, Johnsson for some value and maybe get rid of Zaitsevs contract in the process.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sens4life</b></div><div>I mean your D is pretty trash still</div></div>

They could definitely improve but I don't think they're trash, .1 g/game less than the caps last year. Reilly and Gardiner control possession well. here area few tools you can look at to see who they stack up against. Yes this is advanced stats and yes Gardiner has defensive lapses but he generates a ton of offence. The right side needs help but i think they have quite a few prospects coming up that will get there in 2-3 years.
