I understand this is a fantasy world, but how do you expect Toronto to get Shattenkirk and still have room to resign the kids when they come up? Shattenkirk is going to make between 6.75-7.25 mil. That would be foolish for Toronto.

The team will never be a contender without a defender making around that much...so? BANANAS!

That's a fair point. I'm still hesitant to hope the Leafs give that to Shattenkirk.

And now we come to why I've been saying that overpaying Martin can lead to problems down the road, even if his contract is only $2.5m per year...

Yeah, I have no idea what he's talking about. Just seems angry at a team for being too young and too inexperienced.

and 80% of the Leafs D-men should not be on the team.

That tying goal was BS. All my Vancouver friends say the league's conspiring to benefit the Leafs, WTF - I guess this was so they could have something to point to later on as evidence to their innocence.

Anyway, patience with the D. There's no need to go forcing a trade to get this team into the playoffs. There should be decent D upgrades available for pennies on the dollar leading up to the expansion draft. No, we're not going to get that 1st pairing stud, but the bottom pairs clearly need upgrading.

yes but are Brodin / Dumba really the upgrade LEafs need?
- MaximusAurelius


I'd love Brodin. Dumba not so much.

I don't think Shattenkirk is a 7 mil defender either.

Yeah, i feel we've done that before.....giving a big contract to a #2 or #3 d-man in the hopes they can be our #1.

I don't think his would be a hard contract to trade if push came to shove.

Free Agent list is pretty poop this year.

Shattenkirk and Kulikov are okay. But will likely be signed before they reach UFA.

Then we got Markov, Oduya and Streit. Really old and will likely sign for a Cup elsewhere.

Michael Stone would be alright to add...but will probably be re-signed too.

Alzner?

- AdamFrench

Alzner is who I have listed as a maybe, he might be a good fit if available.

Tanev - very underrated, played excellent hockey with Rielly at the worlds, and plays for a team with a less than intelligent GM...

(plus has an excellent contract)
