Gentleman,
There is a spy amongst us!

Nope, a number 2 dman should be physical, Gunnar is not, like I said, my opinion.
- LeafMan

I think he's ideally on the 2nd pairing, but at this point, he's the best we have to play beside phaneuf. I'm happy with the signing, as long as we can also lock up franson and fraser

I think his physicality is underrated because of his hockey IQ he doesn't have to crash and bang because he's always in the right spot
- Yeti1181

I think people here over rate him, he is okay as a 4th.

The squeeze is on.
- LeafMan

Things are getting tight.

Gunnarsson's deal is a measuring stick for Franson. He'll get around 4m. 3yr/12m is ok with me.

But at some point Franson's gonna get frustrated with the Leafs. He's been love hate since he got here.

If I'm Nonis, Liles has got to go. Nothing against Liles, but I think the goaltending is going to be good enough that we can start moving young guys up, such as Grannberg and Blacker.

As for Kadri, we'll see. One year at 2.5 should be ok IMO. We get 2m off Armstrong and Tucker after next year(Can't believe Tucker's on the payroll) along with 500k from the Frattin/Scrivens trade, so that can be allocated to Nazem if he comes through.

Well well well,

He's a good 3 or 4, but he seems to pair well with Phaneuf I'm interested to see how he does this year because hopefully he's 100% again

A 4th Dman with a cap hit of 3.15 is also OK.

Liles will be hard to move because of his cap hit. He is a decent player but he is small and overpaid. Expect a 5 or 6 pick for him from a team desperate for defence

One of two things will happen imo, either Franson or Liles gets traded. There is nothing stopping the Leafs from trading Gunnarsson as well, he has no NTC provision.

Hainsey would play much better next to Phaneuf.

Why is Nonis busy signing Frogren 2.0

Kadri needs the Money First, then Franson, then Fraser then Garbageson!

Love you.

Leafs will trade Liles for a pick. Which will allow us to not only sign Kadri(2yr/6.5m), Franson(4yr/16m), and Fraser(2yr/2.6m) but also will allow us to aquire Kyle Clifford from LA for a pick and sign him to a 2yr/2.8m dollar deal.

- LeafMan

It'd look bad on the team to move Gunnarsson.

Franson being moved would be a big mistake. He has probably the best shot on the blueline, as Dion consistentoy fails to hit the net.

Liles will have to go. Just send him back to COL or something

cue the ridiculous comments from gunnarson haters who think he's our #5 Dman for some reason!
- BestRapperAlive

Umm they are not ridiculous. He should be a 4th or 5th dman. But this is the leafs.

Take him on a boat trip?

You know what I said is true.

Then sink the boat with him tied to it?
