I'd prefer McClement, Bolland and Clarkson.

Lupul Kadri Clarkson would do wonders. Clarkson clearing room for the other two
Kulemin Bolland wait and see

Do people think before they panic about needing space to extend kessel and phaneuf?

If kessel were to get 7.5 mil, the team needs an additional 2 mil in space. Not 7.5, 2. Armstrong and tucker coming off the books clears that space alone.

Phaneuf probably gets extended around where he's at now if he's still here. Even if he were to get ridiculously overpaid.. It would take an extra 1.5 mil in cap space to bring him up to 8.

Logic.

I despise Mike Ribero .... but I think he's the only legit 1C available right? make it happen Nonis
- BlowMonkey

I think Weiss is a better option personally.

is ballard worth looking into on a short/cheap deal?

Yup. I even think Kadri signs a bridge two year type deal. Seems to be the norm at the moment. Plus, let's see you after 82 games before we really give you your payday

110% douche - but the only legit 1C in reach.

I don't trust any former Panther 'stars':
Weiss
Horton
Luongo
Jokinen

All

Lucky Carlyle has such an experienced assistant GM in Nonis to help him through such a busy off-season.

HEEEY YOU GUUYS!

I liked Grabovski, he was a serviceable player, better then Bozak in my opinion. Not his fault that Burke gave him that ridiculous contract, wish he was making 4 million per year so it would make more sense to keep him, but at 5.5 it never made sense. Wish him well on his next team, he's a great 2nd liner. He'll regain his form, just with a more reasonable contract.

As i mentioned in the EE thread.

Ribeiro
Kadri
Bolland

is there a more Richardbag top-3?

Leafs acquire Malkin for 2014 & 2015 1st rd pick, Kulemin & Gardiner

I just figured it out...

Nonis is targeting players who have the hottest wives/girlfriends...

Martine Forget was just the beginning... The leafs will now get a player who has a smoking hot wife... Book It!

and this is why i said trade them all away for prospects and draft picks when their value was sky high... sigh...
- Mapleleafs_91

Yeah I wasn't buying that Mac would get a first but when I heard Grabs would I was all for it

Boston would lose their poop.

That's why Clarkson, Fraser, MacClaren, Orr, Tyson and David Ling should be in the lineup those games.

The cap going up next year frees up even more cap space. You just proved my point further. If they fit under the cap as is, additional cap comes with a riding ceiling, and buyouts coming off the books, there's no reason to panic about finding room for extending them. And that's assuming the team spends to the ceiling this summer.

And really? I wasn't trying to be a smartass, I was implying that logic be used. Is that an offense? I get the sensitivity with some of the crap that goes on, but geeez. Relax.
