seems like if gauthier is not ready, we need to add another veteran ahl C.

big deal.

too bad for the kid though.
- Tumbleweed

he is ok imo..probably a low end 4th liner.
Id prefer Boyle for 2 years

hanzal probably goes back to AZ, with term

bozak would have to go if we did bring in hanzal.

boyle shouldn't get more than 2, mabye 3 years.
- Tumbleweed

I think Leafs management and Babcock like Bozak, so don't think he'll be traded.


I wouldn't mind a Kadri - Hanzal - Komarov line

Matthews
Bozak
Hanzal
Boyle up the middle.

Maybe Leafs can get Hanzal ánd Boyle, both on 2 or 3 year deals.
They have enough capspace, and probably better to add both of those than a sub-par d-man.
- MaximusAurelius

What is with your hard one for hanzal?
The guy is so soft, IMO.
Gets points....but usually injured.

ahem.


*affect

Just meant that if we trade Nylander (21) for Dman, I would want a Dman closer to Nylander's age...so we have more control of him for a cheaper rate and maybe a longer time.
Doughty is not old....but if we trade a 21 year old stud....I would want someone no older than 24/25.

Seth Jones or who then?

Isles seem poised to offer JT an 8 year/80million deal?
- Fakepartofme

Perfect - between Tavares and JT they will tie up $20 million a year of cap? Almost as good as the Dipietro deal! Who can we get from them De Haan?

Kadri had 32 goals at Centre last season. Why would we mess with that?

Seth Jones or who then?
- MaximusAurelius

I dont know.
But I think Nylander could be special.

Im on the fence (it hurts)

great penalty killer.
great on faceoffs.
two-way center that puts up good points, can play on pp as well (replace JVR in front of goal).

i'm not a 'fan', I just think he could be an addition that would fit Babcock's vision of what a C needs to bring quite well.

Fair enough.
He's in his 30's, depends on cap and years.

Wasn’t the boyle deal originally rumored to be boyle & filpulla for bozak and 2nd; until filpulla nixed it?

I have never been a big fan, but I thought the last 6 weeks or so he changed his style of play for the better. I still think he is the odd man out though

de haan might be available.

de haan might be available.

I don't imagine that Babcock is at the Worlds for fun at this point. He was at the Can-Belarus for scouting I imagine.

Could be looking at de Haan

Dotchin suspended 3 games

- TheMussel

might be.

though, I am starting to think much like we acquired the best goalie available last year, we’ll be looking for the best dman available this year.

always goes back to the ducks/wild, maybe the jets.

Nylander for Doughty, do you do it?
- Feeling Glucky?

No

age

I'm thinking someone gives Boyle 3 maybe even 4 year term.

Wireless companies in Canada are only allowed to give out max 2 year contracts.

My bet is Rogers

I'm thinking someone gives Boyle 3 maybe even 4 year term.
- Garnie

he's coming up on 33 and only got 3 years on his last deal.

i'm still thinking 2, at the very most 3.

No

age
- Aetherial

He's as old as Gardiner

Please explain
- Matthews_Auston

I'm ok, thought it was NYI not NJ

Nylander for Doughty, do you do it?
- Feeling Glucky?

Would be tough, but 1 for 1. probably yes.

Doughty is only 27. Plus, our biggest need is D.
