likely he would have been best off to just keep 1 in TO, but what do I know.

Wendel is literally at every leafs game. he's a legend.
- Lucas.Neilson

only in Leaf land.

All depends on what comes in this year at the draft and free agency.

If Stamkos or Matthews is obtained, your centres are

1C - Stamkos/Matthews
2C - Kadri (who will become 3C in a few years)
3C - Nylander (who will become 2C with a few years experience)

Bozak will be moved in this scenario for sure. Lupul most likely gets bought out or Robidas'd
- ILoveLamp

Gotta think one of Matthews/Kadri/Nylander gets moved to the wing, no? That's what I always thought anyway, if we got both Stammer & AM .

If we get the number 1 pick.




trade it.



cause it would be fun.

I think the only chance one moves to the wing is if we get both Matthews and Stamkos, then Matthews will start on the wing and Stamkos at Centre, and they will switch in 3-4 years.

Reality is though, Stamkos wants to be a centre and the Leafs will give him that to start to attract him here.
Nylander is the ideal 2C
Kadri will make a perfect 3C. Gritty, pest, and offensive enough to contribute.
Jvr - Stamkos - Marner (future)
Laine - Nylander - Brown
Soshnikov - Kadri - Komarov

That could end up being a great top 9

Gonna be traded for Ekblad.

Here's a great little article from 2011 on the Richards free agent signing:

Oh Lord, we dodged a bullet with that one.

Although we were still poop during those years, so let's not congratulate ourselves too much.

An expensive top 9.
will we have any money for D and a goalie?
Still need a top D man and a quality goalie.....not cheap.

There was definitely an annual June 30th email to Sather reminding him theres a salary cap, what it is, means, and how it works.

Expensive in 2020?

If that becomes truth then aren't the Leafs better for it? It means all those young guys turned into talented NHLers.

You can't have too much of a good thing.

With a top 9 that good who needs a "rest of lineup"

Liverpool sucks.

You suck.

But the Nhl allows trades. See Chicago ...

Meh, you can pull a Chicago and just trade away 1 piece each year to stay under the cap & get good assets back in return and keep replenishing the prospect pools

You suck.

Nice draw for us - UCL is almost within reach.
