<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>Yeah, but Minnie's weird.

I thought buying Timo really signaled NJ being more aggressively competitive.

But, they've suffered so many injuries, it's understandable.</div></div>

The cap comes off at the end of the year. Remember they had space open up when Foote and McLeod left the team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>I don't know, to me, it looks like they're throwing in the towel if they're wasting cap space buying picks. Unless, it's to help grease the wheels to bring in Markstrom.

I hope it's Markstrom, I'll never trust him again after last season and I still have a stroke every time he leaves the net.

Worst instincts outside the crease. WORST.</div></div>
I hate when he leaves the crease to go anywhere, other than behind the net

Yeah NJD’s almost out of it. They’d need both Hanifin & Markstrom to make the playoffs now

I think we have a better chance of making the playoffs and could ship Markstrom there in the playoffs, although the probability we make it now, especially with the departure of Tanev and pending Hanifin move, those odds are getting fairly slim

Now I’m interested to see if Conroy makes any moves to replace them though

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>Weird that Jerseys retaining. Think they might be positioning for a Hanifin deal? Or that Markstrom deal is back on the table?</div></div>

They have lots of cap space this year, Minny did the same thing last year for the free asset

Hey Man! Possibly. It’s only $1.125 mil and they have retention slots and tons of Cap Space with Hamilton on LTIR, so might as well buy a 4th Round Pick

I hope they’re in on Hanifin or better yet Markstrom still though

Thread: Pumba

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canucks4life</b></div><div>No, they are not trading Meier.

It will be more like Mercer, 2nd +</div></div>

Neither Mercer nor Markstrom going anywhere

Thread: Pumba

Devils pass, just not moving Meier.

Hanifin 50% retained+Markstrom 50% retained for Casey+1st+Vitek+2nd+Bahl would be something I’d do tho

Casey for Hanifin
1st+2nd+Vitek+Bahl for Markstrom

Thread: Treliving Deadline Based on His History

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>I don't know if the Leafs will outbid other offers on those players, if they become available. If another team does a 1st, 2nd and good prospect, I think the Leaf's get put in a position where they overpay to compensate for the lack of the 2nd.

I think Risto would be an upgrade on Lily and Timmins and relatively inexpensive to acquire. That term and contract are too scary though. Maybe Peeke?</div></div>

I dont think they really need to as they have some nice pieces rn.

They could have been outbid for ROR or McCabe but werent. Its all about what the other GM's want

Leafs have some guys who could do very well with more mins or a change of scenery.

Thread: Treliving Deadline Based on His History

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>The only player I can think of is Rasmus Ristolainen, but I think the ask would be too high and too much of a gamble.</div></div>

Ristolinen is a 3rd pair guy like Myers

Guys that would be looked at probs Chycrun, Fabbro, Larsson, etc.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>He bought Toffoli, there's a chance he buys a good player with term to add to the core.

Small chance.</div></div>

I think if the right Dman becomes available who has term Brad will make the move

As if u got the guy for 1.5-6 years who cares if yah moved the first you got the guy for multiple years

Even I think Tanev is worth more in a trade, though I don't see how Tanev (or any rental) is going to be a difference maker to the Leafs this season,

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>I don't think it's overly crazy to assume that Gilbert and AJ are available but as Flames fan, I don't like it.

Team gets pretty smol and squishy without them, especially with Pospisil out.

Hopefully we get to see Klapka tonight.</div></div>

Do you have other bott 6 full time guys on cheap contracts to recommend instead? I'm asking because I fully respect where you coming from, but I haven't followed the team that close. So I'm just asking.

Thread: Trade Deadline Thoughts x 10

perry would fit very well in Boston.
but you over the cap by 500k,
i do think it will take more to get Elias Lindholm maybe a second instead of a third.

That's not anywhere close to getting you Lindholm

Thread: Trade Deadline Thoughts x 10

Flames don't need D, And Lysell and a 3rd isn't getting Elias Lindholm out of Calgary. There will be tons of bidders for Lindholm and this offer would easily be beat.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>I think you have to get flagged by someone for the mods to step in. And the rules are so wide sweeping they can ban you for saying pretty much anything.

The problem is too many people can't pass the "South Park Test".

The South Park Test - Can you laugh off the blatantly offensive, and extract someones true intent.</div></div>

Really? I guess that makes sense just I’ve been banned a couple times and it’s hard to believe I’ve been reported each time but maybe

Oh man that sucks, cap friendly seems to be very sensitive can pretty much just say “team” declines or “team” accepts without getting a ban these days

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilfire</b></div><div>As much as I enjoy antagonizing the Leafies, they aren't going to consider buying until the TDL and they need a 3C, a couple defense and possibly a goalie. They can't afford to pay a 1st for Tanev.</div></div>

Thanks for saying it man, I’ve been banned for the last month and it’s been painful seeing all these firsts going for Tanev, now I’ve seen a fair share of awful trades for Tanev too but regardless I’m back to tell them if it’s an overpay or flames decline

If he does though, it's probably for the best. Once someone puts you on tilt just seeing their name enrages you.

That’s totally fair my friend I personally love the name it was the name I have below the current name before but I was asked to change it by cap friendly lol
