Leafs will have to do a deal similar to what Nashville did with Lombardi... give up a decent prospect or pick along with Liles for some AHL lifer(s)
- Mr_Smokey


i can see a team definitely going for that. but is it worth giving up something o value? (equivalent to what Nashville gave with Franson)

From an Flyers fan outsider's perspective, I have always liked Gunnar's game and he seems to do just fine as a top pairing. It's not exactly ideal, but to get a guy at 3.15 at the peak of his career for 3 years in your Top 4 is a no brainer. It could be a lot worse you could have Coburn at 4.5.

oh hey.

Franson OR Gardiner + Colborne for Coutourier.

thoughts?

i believe you would be entitled to dual citizenship
- Gary_B.


This is correct. Fox News got all riled up about this once when they started trying to scare the public into thinking Islamic terrorists where flying to the US to give birth to their babies, then heading right home so their terrorspawn would be able to exploit their US citizenship in the future.

Then Obama started killing American citizens without due process or even formal charges via unmanned droid strikes.

NAh retain $1.25M per year and trade him for a 3rd and a 900k guy we can demote.
keep our prospects, save them over $2M in first year.

Liles at $2.5M is probably of interest for a few teams.

They are 600K short with my 3 guesses in bold below. Who's getting squeezed? And this all assumes they go with only 21 players. Send down Brennan too? Go with only 20 players. Never seen that before but I guess it is possible.

Bozak 4.2
Kessel 5.4
Lupul 5.25
JVR 4.25
Bolland 3.375
Kuli 2.8
McClem 1.5
Orr 0.925
Kadri 3.25
Colborne 0.6
McClaren 0.7
Clarkson 5.25


Phanuef 6.5
Liles 3.895
Gardiner 1.116
Gunner 3.15
Fraser 1.2
Franson 3.75
Brennan 0.6


Reimer 1.8
Bernier 2.9

Buyouts and Retained Salary 2.5

Players 21

Total Salary 64.911
Cap 64.3
Over/Under -0.611

It's become a necessity at this point or else the Leafs lose Franson... Surely to god the Islanders would like Liles *cue the Islander fan saying that every D they have currently is better than Liles*
