If buyout is the only option, then Russell is taking that one. If not Buffalo, then Toronto. Withhold some cap and try to get Brown. Perfect complimentary guy to play up and down the line-up.
- MaximumBone

If we ate some salary they might take him. I doubt we get Brown though. Maybe Leivo?

Regardless the cap space is the important thing.

This is exactly it.
We couldn’t do worse.
We’re not morons. (Well most of the time anyway..)
We’re not cavalier with asset value.
We’re students of the game and follow the league closely. And We have every bit as good of an idea of where this teams weaknesses are as some guy that’s paid.

Haven’t a clue, but I’ll do their job for 1/4 what they make with a smile on my face.

I'd do it for 1/10th

This is totally reasonable. I’m not totally sold on anything per se. but those are my horses that I’m keeping. How we mix and match is up for debate

Lowe and chia especially get paid fukloads I bet

- Wildschwein

Lievo should be an easy get. I'd expect a pick with him if it was only him, though. I don't think they'd be SO averse to trading Brown for a proven top-4 guy like Sekera. Their management is filled with types that follow deeper stats and they know his value. If we're withholding .5 to 1mil to get him, I think they could entertain the thought of trading him.

This is totally reasonable. I’m not totally sold on anything per se. but those are my horses that I’m keeping. How we mix and match is up for debate. Khaira maybe even on the top line in maroons spot
- HB77

I've been pumping that tire for a year and a half now, but I think the time for that would be once we've resigned him at a lower hit (1.5 to 2) either this summer or next. Don't wanna inflate his numbers too hard.

Yup... Definitely in the 7 figures...

So really I'd do it for less than 1/10th... Honestly I'd probably do it for free. Let me sleep at Rogers Place and eat free at the concessions and I'm good to go.

If Babcock makes 6 mil. No way chia makes less than 3

With the way he negotiates, he might be making minimum wage.

Well McLellan makes $3 million a year... I'd say Chia definitely makes more.

I can live with all of this save khaira on the 4th. I think he’s better served in somewhat of a scoring role.
That empty spot on the second. And when u have slep and looch, one can always replace if he struggles

U make that upgrade deal for Klefbom and those 3 with low minutes on the 3rd pair with those guys isn’t even a huge concern for me

Point taken.

He showed his cards the night before and they lowballed the Fuk outta him. And He took the first offer

If these team (frank)s up and once again doesn't resign our small, talented puck-moving bottom pairing guy (ala Oesterle) then I'll flip a (frank)ing lid. Really talented guy that simply makes things happen and that's what we need MORE of.

I agree with Khaira to a point, but I want an effective 4th line, too. In the same way you state, he can easily move up as well.

Anyone watching the men’s halfpipe right now?

These dudes are going off. The sh1t they’re doing these days isnt human.

Nah, he's a real niche player. Not consistent or flexible enough and scores too many of his goals on empty nets. I'd sooner spend half the $$$ on a guy like Calvert.
