Thread: Who do we move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>They will save a little money by having Engvall and Sandin with the Marlies (they aren't NHL ready) and replaced with Marincin or Schmaltz and Agostino.
But you're right....it's still close to 1m to be cut. Do the Leafs dare go with 21m roster? Johnsson, Kapanen would be choices to be moved.

I know the public and even NHL players think all those high end RFA signings are a good thing....for their team and the NHLPA members. But it's means some players that might be 800,000 in the NHL are making 70,000 in the AHL due to reduced roster because of cap space. Or players who want to stay on a good team get traded, Brown was cap casualty for the Leafs already.</div></div>

As a smart, hard-working guy who has taken whatever job could do the most good for the world at every step, and has never earned 70k in a year, those guys also do not have my sympathies. :)

Thread: Patrick- off of someone

yeah i think this is off of my joke one which included a ridiculous extension-- i won't put it past the flyers tho who signed hayes to that monstrous deal.
And with Frost coming up, Hayes and Couturier signed long term Patrick could be used as a chip to bring back a top 6 forward. Definitely not wise asset management, but rangers traded Tony Amonte after two 30 goal seasons in his first two years in order to win a cup.. nothing surprises me anymore.

Thread: Follow my logic
1) The picks you are getting back for those trades are way too high. Leddy for just a 2nd, Hickey for a late 3rd maybe but you aren't getting that from VAN. Maybe throw in NYI 4th rounder and you'll get the 3rd.
2) For Ladd deal you now are missing out on a first rounder. You could throw in maybe Dal Colle or some other middling prospect to make it work most likely, not 100% aware of NYI prospects
3) Beauvillier deal is too short on cap hit but you have cap space to fix it, wont harp on this too much.
4) And most importantly, you now have 3 rookie defensemen on your blue line, and defense was the reason you guys made the playoffs this year. Does getting Marner provide you with enough offense to completely slash your defense, also with a question mark in Varlamov as your starter? Personally, with the Metro in the state that it is in now, this roster misses the playoffs year 1 for sure, and most likely in year 2 cuz you're hoping on MAJOR improvement from your young player. Already at this point you are giving away 2 top 10 picks, which if we wanna go by your 2015-2018 example would be Rantanen (Already comparable if not better than Marner) and Jost, as well as whatever first rounders you get in years 3 and 4. I like the ideas and the moves are close to even in most cases, however if you're gonna blow up your area of strength I don't think its worth it.

Thread: Random Krug Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>K. But he's still a group 1. That's literally why he's group 1. Because he was 19 when he signed, he didn't have a year tacked on his entry deal, which is why he's a group 1. Everyone acknowledges this except a couple bad writers that don't know what they're talking about.

Evolving Wild (trash guesswork), has him at a .2% chance of signing a 1 year deal. A lot of group 1 RFAs sign 1 year deals. They have him at 6 years and 7 million. That doesn't say anything about a 2 year deal. A 2 year deal is a totally different world of contract negotiations.</div></div>

Group 1 "Literally" mean's you're still on your ELC...McAvoy is not, he is now a group 2 RFA...Where are these plethora of people who acknowledge BS? even CapFriendly doesn't as they have him as RFA coming off his ELC...Also for Evolving Wild...try scrolling over to the right a bit and see what they project salary wise for each year term.
