I don't know what's funnier: Leafs fans suggesting that 24 million only buys you Strome, or Islanders fans shooting it down.

If the Leafs ever offered to save the Isles and pay out DiPi and all we wanted was some prospect who had never played a single NHL game, Wang would be signing that deal 30 seconds after Nonis offered it.

Meanwhile, Nonis would find himself unemployed.

Ummmm....why?

How about Gardiner and a 1st for Strome and DiPietro?

Any closer?
- Atomic Wedgie

I woud give up Gardiner and a 1st for Strome..... but not include Dipietro.....
I like Strome he is not proven though....

No Strome! I want him playing for the ISLES next year
- NYI44

Just might but he was not that great in the playoffs, was quite invisibly for the 5 games with the IceDogs. Expected more from him but he is a good one.

I would take Lou for DP and a draft pick but not a first rounder
- NYI44

thats fair enough.. considering Lou is signed long term as well

what about niederrettier? would you give him up in that deal? say if vancouver sent back a 3rd as well? (or something along those lines)

Dammit, yours is better than mine.
- Atomic Wedgie

It "sounds" better.

How about Carson, Gelinas, 15 million, and 3 first rounders? They need to throw in McSorley and Krushelnyski thought too.

Is Strome going to cry like a little girl at the presser?

No deal.

Now that Burkie is gone, do we still talk about Bobby Ryan?

JVR Richards Kessel
Lupul Kadri Ryan
Cleary Colborne Frattin
McLaren Gordon McClement

- Leeman4Gilmour

you do realize the 24 million would be paid out over the course of 16 years right?

1.5million per season is 1% of the concession stand take for MLSE

you need to look at it in perspective.. to a 1 billion dollar per annum company.. 1.5million is 0.0015% of the income.

thats fair enough.. considering Lou is signed long term as well

what about niederrettier? would you give him up in that deal? say if vancouver sent back a 3rd as well? (or something along those lines)
- Dozzer

I'd rather keep Nino on that deal and do the deal I mentioned before. I would rather trade Nino for a top defenseman or something like that

Who are you talking about?
- NYI44

Strome, IceDogs should have made it clear, lol.

No Hamilton...errr...Hamilton

They were pretty bad, didn't put up much of a series.

You know they're already committed to paying him 36 million right? They will buy out Dipietro if they can't find a taker. Buying him out saves Wang 12 million bucks.

Strome
- jribout

I'm kinda confused. Does he realize Strome didn't play this year including playoffs

I woud give up Gardiner and a 1st for Strome......

Take me to your Dealer! Please!

- The Law

And a little more than that, because he can stretch out the payments to 16 years instead of 8.

Was highly amusing...considering Visentin and Hamilton are sooooooooo poop

Ummmm....why?
- Atomic Wedgie

For spending 24 million dollars on a prospect. No team in the history of North American sports has ever paid 24 million for a rookie.

Actually, it's worse than 24 million, because you have to pay him the full 4.5 that he is entitled to before you buy him out next summer (I've heard that the player has to play a minimum number of games with the club first).

If that's true, then we lose Scrivens on waivers because DiPi is the back-up, then we Sens him to the AHL after he plays his minimum amount of games. Paying 4.5 for a back-up goalie ties our hands in free agency, as well.

So, we pay him 4.5 to sit in the minors, then buy-out his remaining 20.5 million over the next 14 years.

For Strome. A kid who isn't even a top 10 prospect, much less a generational talent.

I'm kinda confused. Does he realize Strome didn't play this year including playoffs

ICEDOGS, it was stated clearly in the post.

We need a present value calculation.

Finding a taker saves them 24.
