Relax...just my thoughts on it.

Super relaxed man.

I start vacation tomorrow, to be quickly followed by my 2 weeks notice

Found a new job that should get me through to retirement. SO half of my midlife crisis is taken care of. I feel great

Depends. The "Fan"alysts like Hayes, O'Neill, Noodles, etc obviously think there's a good chance but all the "insiders" are trying to cover all bases and basically say their gut says he stays in Tampa... Much like they did with Babcock in Detroit
- WingmanWillie

The insiders are also getting nothing out of Lou and Co., so they have to improvise.

if they sign harrington the leafs dont have to give it up... if harrington gets claimed if he is put on waivers the leafs give up their 5th
- Dozzer


So the Leafs could claim Harrington and then pay a 5th technically. Not that they would do this. I think Kirby is worth more than a 5th is all.

Yup.

If Harrington gets cut from CBJ and gets picked up on waivers, we owe them a 5th


We should just claim him ourselves and effectively net Rychel for a 5th hah

Jeez I need to read a little further before posting....

He's lived the first 8 years of his adult life in Tampa.
Is that not home to him now?

He's not coming to Toronto because the Leafs don't want him... We finally have an intelligent management team.

Nice.

I was always a bit of a fan. Hope it turns out well for him.
I have no clue what is going on in Columbus...but those no-movement contracts they have over there are going to be a disaster come expansion draft.

They also seem ripe for an offer sheet on Jones.

Just not that right time to commit 70 or 80 million to one guy over 7 years.

CBJ have major cap issues. Seth Jones gets at least one offer sheet. They have all kinds of dead weight contracts and will be wheeling and dealing very shortly. Rychel deal was just the start. They must shed at least two contracts or lose Jones. Ryan Murray might be traded to get out from dead weight contracts.
