How's many high end contracts can they take on?


I thought there was a salary (frank)ing cap

They have to move Fleury anyway - so it could happen.

Fleury to St. Louis in a deal for Shattenkirk actually makes some sense

You're better at this than Ek!

I was hoping we'd get him somehow
- Garnie

Sometimes the best deal is the one you don't make.

There could be a lot of regret for whoever gets Shattenkirk.

yup. $7m is a lot of cap for a guy who isnt a #1 dman. It would be dion all over again.

max $6.5M, with a flat cap. i can't see him getting more than Yandle.

But I hear ya, definitely carries risk. With his age and style of play, I’m thinking lower risk than signing phanuef long-term.

Yeah but I hear Shattenkirk has a killer playlist for the locker room stereo.

spoken like a true long time leaf fan

My spidey senses are tingling....the Leafs are making a trade today!

in fairness the 1st round pick that the leafs got back from the pens was traded to the ducks for andersen

spaling was sent to SJ with polak getting a second rounder in 2017 and one in 2018

harrington was sent to columbus for rychel

so in the end... kessel netted the leafs frederik andersen, kasperi kapanen, kerby rychel, and two second rounders in the next two drafts

not too bad when you think about it

It was a 6 folks, but I feel a 7 coming

Very happy the Leafs did not trade a 2nd for Eaves.

Considering Dubas did the trade, Lou did amazing capitalizing on the return
