I think in future there's your 1,2 punch down the middle with Marner playing with Matthews and possibly JVR.

Can't wait till next year when Michalek, Greening, Laich, Polak, Hunwick and Robidas come off the books.

There's gonna be some opportunities with all that cap space.

As long as it isn't for way over-priced free agents. I don't want to see that happen until the team is actually considered a legitimate contender... so more than a couple years from now.

Agreed, I was thinking more trades. We could 'help' a few teams out like Chicago by taking Keith off their hands.

I'd take less for Pav

He's got the biggest cap hit of our expiring vet contracts. Pavelec that bad, huh? Even as a dedicated backup?

Most free agents, if not all, end up being overpriced.

It's not necessarely a problem, but you need to overpay for elite talent.... not (frank)ing 3rd liner plugs like the Leafs did with Clarkson.

Jets can afford to pay Trouba, but they won't give him silly money, until he proves himself.
Schiefele is the real deal. He keeps on getting better and better.
If Trouba is traded, it will need to be for a Left d-man.
Jets do not really need JVR. Why would Leafs even trade him ?

On one-year deals, if it is the right guy, I'm OK with it.

What's the point of just having 20 mil cap space sitting there when you are one of the richest teams in the league?

If you want the buffer to be able to jump on opportunities (Like the Winnik to WSH deal), then surely 10 mil aughta be sufficient.

Laich, Michalek, Greening, Polak and Robidas is like 18 mil combined

Nah, last season.

When he's not hurt, he can be effective.

I don't know why these brilliant coaches can't see that he played his best as a LW. They always want him to play the right side, and then wonder why he isn't as good.

What do you expect Trouba to receive from the Jets?

That kid is going to be your best defenseman in no time, hell if he'd get a little powerplay time his stats would improve like crazy.

GTFO Enstrom.

If the Leafs weren't so loaded up on skill wingers, I'd want them to give him a shot.

I think Edmonton is going to play him on McDavid's wing all season to build his value and trade him, or keep him if he develops good chemistry. Seems like a perfect complimentary player for McDavid.

Assuming every prospect is going to make it, I guess.

There's going to be plenty of cap space and no opportunities.

All of our prospects are elite and ready to play in the NHL this year.

We are getting rid of Greening Michalek Lupul Bozak Holland Komarov and Martin so we can play the kids.

It is time to give the kids a chance Wedgie.

I have Bracco down for 40 goals for the Leafs this year.

Too pessimistic?

I find it best to usually only set only one or 2 goals for a year.

When you say "getting rid of Greening Michakek Lupul Bozak Holland Komarov and Martin" do you mean "trading Greening Michalek Lupul Bozak Holland Komarov and Martin" for 1st round picks?

P.S. Are you the first Leafs fan to call for trading Martin? Congratulations.
