just by quickly looking heres three examples of games where they were linemates...and they never played together?
- habsrock71

Those are three random pulled instances? Lines get mixed all the time? I've seen Kessel set up Steckle before.

Of course you do

i do...whats so hard to believe about that.

Schenn???



- faceto27

He's a top 5 prospect...

- Leafland

im sure i could find others also...i remember kessel playing with poni quite a bit

Isn't Kadri up for a new contract?
- Feeling Glucky?

Oh jesus...

It's scary to think of the thought RC will have to put into the lines once everyone gets healthy.

Kessel Bozak Lupul
Lupul Grabs Mac
Kulemin Kadri Frattin
Komarov McClement Brown
(Orr, Mclaren)



Also, what's this you say about waiver exemption for Gardiner? He's on a two-way, no?
- AngryWhiteMale

I know Lupul is good, but I don't think he can play on two lines

2.5 a year would be my guess.
- habsrock71

Guess again........ Subban signed for 2 mil for his first year. So your saying Franson is better than Subban?? When can we arrange a trade??

Oh jesus...
- A_Tree

should he not get the turris deal?

- faceto27

Totally different situations.

They would have been on the leafs at the same time for 16 games.

2mil prorated for this season, 3.75 for next season. dont you think theres a reason he took that deal? so he can make his full 3.75 next year

Totally different situations.
- blahman20

How so??

- habsrock71

are you trying to tell me that Franson is remotely close to Subban talent wise??

Seriously??

How so??
- faceto27

How is 2M a lot for an NHL defenseman? Subban's deal is prorated, hence why he's getting 2m this year, going up to 3.75mil after that. This is Subbans first contract essentially, he's going to get a big pay raise next time around.

@jonasTSN1050: Reimer says he's still day-to-day. Carlyle says he and Scrivens will be 1a and 1b upon Reimer's return

aka they will ride whoever is hot.

K so I crunched a few numbers to see what our cap situation would hypothetically look like.

We have 17.1m in space. I'll post an estimate of what these guys could get

Mac 3.5m
Nazem 2.5
Bozak 3.0
Komarov 1.0
Orr 1.0
Mclaren .8
Gunnar 2.0
Franson 2.5
Kostka 1.0
Frazer .8
Holzer .9

That's 19.5m right there. I was conservative with what guys would want. That would mean we'd need to find 2.5m in savings somehow.

I would be willing to throw the idea of letting Mac walk around, as his point production doesn't make him that much more useful than Kuli's 2-way play.

If we can dump Liles and Komi, we'd create a 5.5m buffer. Something we'd need for Kessel's new deal, along with the likes of Frattin and Reimer

aka they will ride whoever is hot.

He He

Looking ahead a bit...March is a pretty though month for Toronto. They have Pitt twice, Boston 3 times, NJ, Carolina, 3 back to backs and a home and home with Winnipeg.
- blahman20

As long as we're healthy by then I'm not worried about who the opponent is.

We have a chance to win every night

I didn't say 2m is alot for a defenseman. That is what I feel he is worth on his next contract. 3 years for 6-7 million total.

Nice problem to have
