Thread: My Opening Night Roster January 13 2021

Do Nuge or Draisaitl ever get shifts on the PK?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garitjax</b></div><div>Teams will still be required to be cap compliant as far as I can see.</div></div>

Yes, but there is Waiver Eligibility enough for that. And it's hard to imagine operating NHL rosters without an AHL or some kind of reserve pool. Just speculating obviously. These things are very much unanswered. Leafs seem to have lots of flexibility with Engvall, Robertson, Sandin, Liljegren all being waiver exempt.

Robertson is not AHL eligible barring rule changes sfaik.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garitjax</b></div><div>Pretty sure you will need to LTIR anyone who gets injured if you want to call anyone up.

I'm imagining there will be some sort of 'taxi squad' allowances this year if there is no AHL, and there are existing 'emergency call-up' rules but i have no idea how they work. Sufficient to say that if a guy gets hurt it should really be no problem to insert a call-up. The issue i see is waiver exemption. We seem to be ok in that regard.

Dont seethe sense in Sandin on 3rd pair to play 12 mins a game, he needs to play more meaning Marlies.[/quote]

By the sounds of it he's played himself onto the team. If even only for 9 games, and/or until Dermott is back.

Because he couldn't stay healthy, even through tryouts.

Chaos? How do you figure? This isn't the second coming of Hasek, and most teams have their rosters set in terms of goaltending. I'm not even sure he's much better than Hutchinson, just 25K cheaper and that would allow us to add a scratch other than Holl (when Dermott, Hyman return).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MajesticWalrus</b></div><div>Well youre going to need to pay something for him :tearsofjoy

I'd expect him to be on waivers seeing as they have Desmith and Murray.

Thread: Where Im at pre-Marner What am i missing

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I just don't see Liljegren being NHL ready in October. Dermot because he on ELC cap saving is minimal because his replacement makes almost similar money. Even Hyman and is 2.25m doesn't save that much for half a season .
Spezza seems destined for RW, with or without Marner on the team. Agree with you, Petan, Aberg and Schmaltz are iffy NHLers.</div></div>

I agree it's likely that they wait til January or February for Liljegren, but i'd really like to see what's there. Sink or swim in some sheltered third pair minutes. Let's see what we've got!

Thread: If we keep Zaitsev

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Unfortunately he can not play in the khl unless we terminate his contract. But that cap space could be useful to make a move for an rhd.

I think the idea is that they will try to trade him. If not that then try to find him a better role in the club. All else failing terminate his contract.</div></div>

Right, but terminating the contract seems highly unlikely. And this is what we could easily look like if we can't get a 'fair' value return. I don't think him leaving is a foregone conclusion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trickster</b></div><div>Did everyone forget that Zaitsev said he wanted out?
What if we dont deal him away and he says screw this and goes to KHL?
Yes we off they hook long term, but we still need 6 d man to put on the ice, and we would be stuck with 3 million in salary for this year at minimum.

He has value, look at the reports, we can get something for him and either sign UFA or trade for D man in another trade</div></div>

Can't give away a RHD without getting equal value. If you can't get a return, you have to keep him. That's the premise here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>If we keep zaitsev I am fine with that, he will be with Rielly though. I think that change will help to keep him a bit more satisfied. Pairs should be:

Possibly, but Muzzin/Zaitsev was fairly effective in the playoffs last year.

Decent shot this is what happens. Can accrued cap space allow Hyman & Dermott in after a month? Demote two players to re-instert them?

Pretty sure you didn't watch any of the playoffs, especially considering you thought he was playing sheltered minutes in the first place.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brocklesnar</b></div><div>LMAO relax tough guy, just because nobody wants Leafs garbage you don't need to get so butt hurt, Zaitsev had one good productive year where Mike Babcock and his stupid reason to not play Rielly on the powerplay that year. Zaitsev as a rookie was terrible even strength and compiled a lot of powerplay points and played a premium position RHD and got a 7 year deal based on PP points. He is only useful when he plays in a sheltered role and that's how Babcock will continue to deploy him.</div></div>

Except that this year in the playoffs he played anything but a sheltered role. He and Muzzin ate tough minutes and he played just fine.

Fair exough. Destination isn't important to me. Shedding $ to fit Spurgeon in was the intention.
