I can only carry 50 apples in my basket. I've got 47 right now and 4 or 5 are rotten and I can't eat them or give them away so they have to stay. If I grab a goalie apple, which is needed, I am now up to 48 apples. If I happen to get a FA winger apple, my basket is at 49 and almost full.

Now if I stumble across an amazing #2D apple and it's stuck to 1 or 2 bad apples, there is no room in my basket. I'm screwed because I really wanted that #2D apple and because I can't unload the 4 or 5 rotten apples until the end of the year now I will have to lose some other really good apples.

I think I will wait to fill my basket to 50 once I make sure I have all the best apples I can get.


Some details like that???

Who's giving you the#2D apple without expecting anything in return?

You don't know when the vesey signing is and when the deadline is apparently.


Something is becoming clear.

This guy serious?

You are right. If they sign a goalie they are at 48 contracts and can no longer sign Vesey because 48 = 50.

Still counts against the apples though.

Don't know. And that my friend is the point. Could be just draft pics, could be anything?!?

Can't predict deals that haven't happened. But, for example, if we traded JVR and a 2nd for #2D + bad contract, + prospect it works out something like this:

47 + Goalie + Vesey + #2D + bad contract + prospect -JVR = 51.

Oh snap, too many.

Now every GM in the league knows we are (frank)ed, so expect a poop deal in order to move something out...probably a really good prospect has to be thrown away for a "conditional pick" or some BS deal.

Are you serious? Are you guys trolling me now? Am I taking the bait? I'm saying it's not a concern because contracts will be coming open or are very easy to open up. Let's agree on some facts.

If they are at 49 contracts that means Vesey and a goalie have been signed and they still have room to make one deal. Yes or No?

The Cowen buyout can still happen. Yes or No?

Teams who make cap dump deals have to take something back.(usually a useless prospect or a useless low paid vet or a pick swap. Worst case a pick swap like 4th for 7th that clears no contract). Yes or No?

These types of deals usually happen near the deadline. Yes or Yes?

The Leafs have too many players to fill there roster that they will have to either trade someone or lose someone to waivers. Yes or No?

If an opportunity presents itself Lou Lam could easily move a random prospect for a garbage draft pick. Yes or No?

Is it starting to become clearer now? Yes or No?

Back to the original argument. The Leafs are not waiting to sign a goalie depending on acquiring Vesey. If they get Vesey they won't just be all like, okay Sparks it is.

Can I get some clarification on the "Yes or Yes" choice?

It's really the only thing that stood out in the post.

Thanks.
