That's true, it was only Shattenkirk and Alzner... Neither are top-pairing worthy

Shattenkirk hasn't been horrible but the hype around him before signing with NYR really makes him seem horrible at this point.

and as expected, Alzner is a complete (frank)ing mess in MTL

First cancelled flight of season for me, YYZ to LGA. It was a real good run while it lasted. The bonus was the very “passionate” Leaf fan telling me TOR is going nowhere until they trade Rielly, Gardiner, Kadri, Bozak and he may have mentioned a couple of others, too.

which one of you (frank)ers is traveling with Bob?

A cap hit of $6.65 per season, for an average defender that is a team worst -14, and half of his points come on the PP.. Is an overpayment, he is not very good 5-on-5

I love Rielly and Kadri, so it’s not me. Must be UG.

Bob said Leaf fan. The inclusion of Kadri makes me wonder if it’s MIB.

It wasn't MiB - the tweet said nothing about the fan talking with food in his mouth.

I don't know either, my guess is Leo is resigned for the same or a little cheaper.

The other 2 will depend how we're playing close to the TDL. JVR is going to want too much IMO for what he brings...sure he scores, but he doesn't drive the play he scores off what his line mates give him for the most.

i think komarov and jvr could both be back...but only if they take slight discounts. something like what you said for leo. 5.75x6 years for jvr.

Chicago needs a goalie now that Crawford may be out for the year.
Maybe we can give them Pickard and Bozak for Nick Schmaltz and Gustav Forsling

*sneaks off to the bathroom*

My line combinations:

JVR - Matthews - Nylander
Marleau - Bozak - Marner
Hyman - Kadri - Kappenen
Komarov/Martin - Gauthier/Moore - Brown

Hyman kills the play on the top line with his routine play behind the net of going back and forth, back and forth then give the puck away. However, if he does this on Kadri's line, it would be a pretty effective way to shutdown the opposition.

JVR on the top line changes how the line cycles the puck to be up high with Nylander, Matthews Rielly (the teams most skilled players controlling the puck) instead of behind the net with Hyman. JVR can do his thing with all the shots generated from those three.

Kappenen gives Kadri's line a huge boost in speed along with decent skill and defensive responsibility. Possibly swap Brown in there, but I like Kappenen's speed the most.

Marleau provides veteran savvy, and more speed to hopefully mesh with Marner. Bozak is only there to win faceoffs.

Komarov is now on the fourth line where he belongs, swapping with Martin on nights they need a Dad to provide protection.

Chicago needs a goalie now that Crawford may be out for the year.

I think JVR comes back.

The other two I highly doubt it.
