Thread: a tight fit

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>Id do it</div></div>

Just a note. As of today, the Sabres are in the 8th playoff spot in the East based on percentages. Didn't think I would see it this year.

Thread: Big Time Move and Round out LW3

Well it certainly makes the Leafs worse this season trading two right side Dman for one. Brodie doesn't waive anyway. Cap doesn't work for next year with further deconstruction of the team.

Thread: Early TDL move to help C depth

Certainly wouldn't trade SDA. He's the only pro prospect the Leafs have.
Kerfoot played very well at centre during the playoffs when Tavares was injured...Gotta think he is the guy for now.

Thread: In a perfect world

So you sit Holl, and acquire another Holl (Tanev) and give up three good assets too? This is so bad for the Leafs

Thread: Come On Already

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Kind of lopsided trades.

Why would PHI do that? What value does simmonds have? Is Braun only worth a low in the round 5th?

VAN takes on 3 cap dumps and 3 valuable pieces, and retains and adds a 4th? The 3 cap dumps probably cost you a 2nd, and the 3 valuable pieces aren;t enough to get you both players, never mind the retention (especially multiple years) and pick</div></div>

Holl, Engvall and Kerfoot are hardly cap dumps...they all UFAs. The biggest cap dump is Boesner, who the Leafs wouldn't want to pay 5m for a few years. Really it's a big overpay by the Leafs.
And the usual silly Meier trade with the Leafs have no chance of QO next summer (especially if they Boesner)

Thread: If Larkin gets traded

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bannedforlife</b></div><div>Apparently you guys can't read because it says ANY TEAM WILLING TO GIVE UP 2 FIRSTS.</div></div>

Actually I don't mind the trade. Any team that trades for him is true contender and probably don't have for him next season. No reason why Larkin doesn't sign with the Wings in the summer, even if traded at TDL

Thread: Can we keep samsonov

Yes, it's possible. But gotta be 22 man roster and Bunting certainly gets more. The only option I really see, is signing Samsonov, and buying out Murray for 700,000 and 2.7m over the next two years and pray Woll is NHL ready. That's saves 3.2m next season to someone short term, and hope the cap goes up the following year when Murray buyout is more.

Thread: Manifest It

Even if Larkin gets more money from Philly, IMO he isn't going to subject himself to years of non playoff appearances even with Bedard.

Thread: Next year is the year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HTF</b></div><div>instead of giving domi and timmins 5.5 million, i think we should give that money to kampf and engvall.</div></div>

Gotta think the Leafs need Timmins next year, even as a the 7th Dman, which means he plays a lot. Agree with you about Kampf, and if possible I would keep Engvall too. Strange how many Leaf fans don't resepect Engvall's play/contribution to the Leafs. Good value at his current 2.1m

Thread: No room for Bo

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jerdog666</b></div><div>Horvat has pulled his weight. Id say he has earned 8M. Also Vans center depth without him is a nightmare. Imagine if Pettersson or Miller were injured.
Cap will go up 1M more than whats being estimated with here, so its closer than presented. Honestly, if you need to shed cap space, it should be from an underperforming winger.</div></div>

While I agree that keeping Horvat is fine, the idea of trading underperforming players is really difficult maybe impossible. So many teams are at the cap, why do they take on non value cap?

No, California isn't the worse place to be...but the travel isn't the best. The bigger issue is the Leafs are contenders, and the Sharks aren't in the Brodie's last two NHL seasons.

No, and we live on opposite sides of the continent. But we recognize value in players and acknowledge that ALL teams have cap issues.

Thread: If Everything worked Out PERFECT for Ottawa

Rangers don't have the cap for DeBrincat, and besides it's an overpay by the Rangers.
How can cost efficient (Whitecloud) be surplus? Teams need 7 or 8 NHL calibre Dmen. Now your trade cost makes sense just in personnel but not the Whitecloud statement

Thread: Vancouver Canucks signed Andrei Kuzmenko (2 Years / $5,500,000 AAV)

Think it good for the Canucks, as they keep a productive player. If Kuzmenko continues to play well he will still have good trade value, even at TDL in 2025, if a trade is needed by the Canucks.

The advantage of the Canucks trading this year, is they would get a future young asset and 5.5m to spend for the next two years. I think the Canucks made the right decision.

Forum: Armchair-GM20 hours ago

Thread: Aquaplan pt2

Ottawa doesn't want 1.5m in more cap. Isles would have throw in Bailey to make the cap work....even if they do the trade.

Forum: Armchair-GM20 hours ago

Thread: Next year is the year

Wouldn't the Kings (and Samsonov) be much better off if the Kings offer sheeted Samsosov at 4.3m (a second rounder) rather than trade for Murray.

You've overvalued Barbashov and Domi , Karpisalo......Under valued Bunting, and Kampf who wasn't resigned.

Thread: Bo Bo we made a Bo Bo

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mv21227</b></div><div>Idk what team would be more insulted by those offers, Vancouver or Detroit</div></div>

Why would Canucks be insulted. Going into next season, they have these first, second, Backlund for a year, but more importantly they don't have 8m X 7 Miller

8M gets you better long value than Miller.

Forum: Armchair-GM20 hours ago

Thread: Deadline blockbuster

Leafs aren't trading a NHL Dman (at 1.4m) Sandin and future one (hopefully) Niemela, and two firsts , and Knies and Robertson for 6m Hughes.

That St Louis trade is awful for the Leafs. Barbashov isn't that special, and though ROR could be be half a season, to give a first, second and Minten is extremely high.

Thread: Fixing the team by bringing him back

Kinda strange that Calgary has done so poorly.....They ":lost" Gaudreau, Tkachuk and Monahan, but received Huberneau, Kadri and Weager....not that bad of an exchange.
Looks at Florida, they were a really good team last year, they lot Huberneau and Weager and received Tkachuk. And geez they look like bottom 10 this year.

Thread: No room for Bo

Why even resign Horvat? This group hasn't done the job (I'm not blaming Horvat). Trade for futures and spend that Horvat money elsewhere.

Nothing special added for the Leafs this year, and way too much bad cap cap in the future, plus the Leafs give up futures? Brodie doesn't waive.

Thread: Leafs Land A Big Fish

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingExLeafs</b></div><div>What Meier adds would be worth all that. The only unfortunate cap casualty would be Nylander. The question management would have to ask themselves is do they like Meier or Nylander more? And they can learn the answer to that question in the playoffs.

The sad reality is that if Tavares and Rielly are here beyond next season then that will hamper the Leafs from being creative and adding top tier talent like Meier.</div></div>

Well, Tavares and Reilly are here for the life of their contracts. It's summer of 2023, when Matthews/Nylander/Murray/Brodie are UFAs, (I said for years, Matthews isn't resigning), it's how the Leafs replace those players, with a lot of cap available. Though I doubt the Leafs would be "sellers" in at the TDL 2024, imagine the haul they get for Matthews/Nylander/Brodie.
