Thread: Big Trade for LD

That's a an overpay for Morrissey by the Isles who are so somewhat cap strapped. Finding a competent LHD seems relatively easy, compared to RHD.
Can't see Cizakis taking a 1m X 1 deal. He's looking at his last contract. No reason to think there is money waiting for him from the Isles next summer.

Thread: I take it back

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trickster</b></div><div>I been a long time supporter of Justin Holl.
The atrocious contracts giving out this offseason further solidified my opinon.

Without a flat cap I feel Holl would get pushed to 3rd pair with Sandin.

He definitely has not looked out of place next to Muzzin, if anything Muzzin is becoming injury prone.</div></div>

I agree with you. I don't know why so many Leafs fans (and non Leafs fans) think the Leafs low cost so called bottom enders are bums, and that cheap bottom enders from poor teams are so frigging good.

Thread: (WPG/NYR) - Trouba for Pionk & 1st round pick (#20 - WPG)

Just Poink for what was going to be one year of Trouba was a good trade for the Jets. The growth of Poink made a win for Winnipeg. Where the Rangers failed was signing that overpaid contract for Trouba.
No way he should be paid as a top ten Dman in the league

Forum: Armchair-GM9 hours ago

Thread: Is this opening night

Going without a extra Dman doesn't seem wise as their is no taxi squad Gabriel on the team, hoping the Leafs have better alternatives.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cbdpushp</b></div><div>Yeah that's a possibility. I say we sign him in 2023 :)</div></div>

RFAs seem to flexing their muscle more lately. Some are less inclined to take that long term deal if they don't like the situation they are in. One reason they can bet on themselves is most of these players have made big money in years 4,5,6,7 in the NHL. Tkachuk's contract just sets up so easily for him just to sign the qualifying offer next summer and be a UFA in 2023

Leafs would prefer to have Brodie playing the right side for three more years, instead of Ekholm playing the crowded left side for one.

Leafs don't need a winger at that cost, especially one who is iffy medically.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>But then what happens when Muzzin comes back. You’ll be over the cap. I’m sure that the NHL won’t allow teams to do what Tampa did and activate players for the playoffs where the cap hit doesn’t matter.</div></div>

No. If Muzzin is out for 1/6 of a season, the Leafs save 950,000 in cap...minus his replacement which might cost 150,000. That's a cap saving of 800,000
The post was talking about a TDL addition, So for 5.6m player ...it only costs the the team 800,000 in cap.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cbdpushp</b></div><div>Yeah, true. Though I think Tkachuk is going to ask for a big raise next year. I don't know... perhaps after so many years of failure, both teams are looking for a change and I've heard rumours Tkachuk isn't super happy in Calgary.</div></div>

I'm just guessing, but Tkachuk isn't so much unhappy in Calgary, is that he probably wants a change in summer 2023 to go to different location, Giving seven years to the middling Flames team will be enough. IMO he takes a qualifying offer of 9m next summer and then is a UFA in 2023

Thread: More Cap Space

More cap space but a worse team. Don't like Kerfoot at 3.5m, I don't like Crouse's play at 1.5m

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>So you want your good players to be injured… Ok but if they come back, you can’t pull a Tampa as you will be over the cap…</div></div>

Don't want your good players to be injured but if they are.....Lets' say Muzzin is on LTIR for month. HIs 5.6m salary (for a month) is replaced by a 1m player for month. That certainly gives you some cap space for a player at TDL for six weeks of the regular season.

Thread: I like this supporting crew

Leafs should be going with a 22 man lineup. There will be cap space by the deadline cause undoubtedly with some higher cap players will be on LTIR during the course of the season.

Wow, that Arizona trade is such an overpay by the Leafs. Think the Pittsburg deal is an overpay too.

How does having two non NHLers, Ho Sang and McCarron help the Leafs? Maybe the ECHL Growlers.

Thread: Something Different

Panthers are right at the cap limit after they sign Reinhart. No way they have the cap for Eichel, and even less next season when they want to resign UFA Barkov.

Forum: Armchair-GM22 hours ago

Thread: big dogs

I just don't see the big attraction for Dvorak.
So for this year, the Leaf acquire Dvorak and Romanov, but give up Kerfoot, Mikheyev, Dermot, and Engvall. I don't see that as win for the Leaf in 21/22.
Then the Leafs also trade away Amirov, Liljegren, Abramov.....legit prospects. Don't see how these moves help the Leafs now or in the future.

Thread: At this point i dont care just get him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Time to push forward. We have the pieces. We are missing a top centre mostly</div></div>

I don't know if an injured Eichel is the piece to move forward. I would like to see if Pinto is bonafide top 2 centre this season. Then next season if the Sens are a legit playoff contender, spend cap on a UFA(s) and I think Sens would have a better team, than acquiring 10m Eichel.

Forum: Armchair-GM22 hours ago

Thread: Is this a playoff team

The when you consider what the 21/22 additions, minus the 21/22 subtractions, I think it helps the Sens some, but really not that much. But the long term the Sens certainly don't get value.

Thread: At this point i dont care just get him

I surprised an Ottawa fan made this post. Just my thought, I hate the Eichel trade from Sens view. And even the other trades, don't really help the Sens.

Thread: Assuming Reilly STAYS

You would think Seattle would have selected Kerfoot if they had really wanted him. The Leafs need Kerfoot at centre since they have little NHL depth instead of another winger.
Having Galychuck at centre should not be an option.
Why do you think Tanev is a better playoff performer than Kerfoot? Gee, Kerfoot has better stats, and you can certainly argue that Kerfoot was the in the top two Leafs forwards last spring.
The trade value is fair but really probably not a fit for both teams.

Forum: Armchair-GM22 hours ago

Thread: Tanev For Kerfoot

A good value trade. Though you would think if Seattle had wanted Kerfoot they would have taken him in the draft.
IMO the Leafs need Kerfoot more as their depth at NHL depth is fragile.

Thread: Please

As a Leaf I might do the Columbus trade, just to obtain Bjostrand and gain 5.5m in cap space. But leave Domi out of the trade, he's a non factor. Rather have Tie than Max.
The other trades and signings, just bad for the Leafs

Thread: Miles Wood

The Leafs have their best prospects at LW. They shouldn't be giving up picks just to obtain another one who really isn't that special. Of course Woods would resign, he's an RFA. But at what cost? The Leafs need all the cap space they can create.

Forum: Armchair-GM23 hours ago

Thread: Miles Wood

Leafs have lots of good prospects at LW. Seems like a waste to give up more draft picks for another LWer. who isn't all that special. Of course Woods would resign, he's an RFA, but at what cost as the Leafs cap is fragile..
