Who the fack is saying to sign bolland to a 7 -8 year deal?
I dont think anyone.
- Fakepartofme

Just going off a Kypreos tweet earlier this morning.

Nick Kypreos @RealKyper
Bolland seeking 7 or 8 yr #Leafs exten' that could max out over 40m. Is he worth it? Tune into HC @ noon for the latest. FAN590


I guess he walks come July..
- Fruitcakenipple

Bump

Here's the real question.

Say Bolland resigns

Do the following centers get you deep into the playoffs and win a cup?

Bozak
Kadri
Bolland

Kadri hasnt peaked yet.

But

Are they answer going forward?
- Fakepartofme

In general I like that C group. But as a Cup contending team, to me that would depend on Kadri. He would need to be a much more consistent performer. I think you give him to the end of next season. If the consistency is still not there, you package him and some other assets and upgrade at C. Whatever the case, Kadri is still a valuable asset imo.

Sign Bolland to a 6yr $24mil deal...
Trade Reimer...not now, but at the draft...
He had a chance to take the reigns and take back the starter spot, and struggled...it's not like Bernier was just given the #1 spot, Reimer has played like a backup, and lately Bernier has played like a #1...

Saw after the Olympics that they had a predicted Canadian roster for 2018 Olympics and they had Bernier as the backup and Reilly on it

WTF?
We are only 3 days removed from these Olympics!

Carlyle wants the leafs to play like Team Canada

Deboer said the same thing.

Actually, probably 90% of the league will try to emulate that. With little or no comparable success.

REALLY?
Either Kyp is on drugs or Bolland is.
That is F'n madness.

Andy MacDonald. Plays over 25:00 min a night. Good solid d-man. His names has obviously been circulating in the trade rumors.

I wonder if the leafs have interest in him?

Absolutely. He's played all of, what, 12 or 15 games for the leafs? First things first - Bolland needs to play his azz off for the rest of this year before they even talk contract.
- fifty__missions

Agreed..

yes which is why its dumb
besides the leafs play the opposite of how team canada plays

I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the Kesler talk but where people actually suggesting letting Bolland go and signing/trading for Kesler???..WTF get rid of a winner and sign that turd Kesler??.... ..Nice plan..


- Fruitcakenipple

Want nothing to do with Kesler. Bolland is a winner, pure and simple. Can't see Bolland taking less than Bozak from the Leafs or any other team.

I say both of them are on drugs..

Exactly.
Team Canada has success with because they had really smart talented dmen...the leafs will never come close.

are there any teams comprised of all Canadians?

His reported contract demands are FK'ed...That said i would think Nonis has inquired about him...

I hope not
- senstroll

Why not??

- drexel

Good question. I don't think so.

The Flyers from a few years back had a ridiculous number of Canadians on their team, though.

The Leafs are the most Canadian team this year...

rumors are asking for a 1st and he's asking for long term deal over 4mil.

he's over valued.

I say both of them are on drugs..
- Fruitcakenipple

Bolland is not getting 7 year or 5 million from the leafs.

If he is signed by the leafs, it will be a 4/4 per term

I hope not
- senstroll

Ya I hope the leafs have learned not to sign players after they have one good year.

Why not??
- Fruitcakenipple

assets to acquire + Costs to resign

he's over valued.
- burn

Don't think i've ever heard of him till this year. Maybe last year possibly? He will go to the Canucks like Garrison for a 5yr 5mil contract, with a full no move clause
