RDS reporting Dorion spent the last 2 games watching the Oilers in the hope of a Hoffman for RNH swap this summer.

Or a Karlsson for Draisatl.
- Scabeh

Couldn’t they just do the trade now? Because both aren’t making the playoffs so the trade deadline has no bearing on them lol

unless he posts at least 5 pics of bouncing....

You're tricking me with that one.




Again......

Man Adding Tavares, John Carlson and trading for RNH and Nurse will make the Habs so good next season.

Man sucks for Tavares that he will have to play second line centre behind Drouin.

then stagnating miserably..

He could be making 12mil, live in New York and play with Taylor Hall on a playoff team.
- AdamFrench

No guarantee the devils make the playoffs.
Or he could sign back with the isles and they would have two great centers for years to come.
If they Isles had a decent goalie....they be a threat for sure.

With a made up injury? He's got one of the longest active iron man streaks in the NHL but if he sucks he'll just get hurt because it's convenient?

But that's not even the point. The point is, they decided to spend 6.25 million on a guy at the end of his career instead of keeping that money available to help retain a good player in his prime. If it's between JVR during his prime or Marleau at the end of his rope, the choice is easy; it's JVR. And if JVR walks, it'll be because Marleau was eating up the cap space we needed to keep him.

Do I want JVR signed for 7 or 8 years? No, but I'd like to know what teams out there are going to be throwing insane contracts (7+ AAV x 6+ years) at him because there aren't that many that I can see.
- Unholy_Goalie

Your analysis of the situation is very one dimensional. Forget about dollars, you have to think about term when making a decision on JVR. I think he'll demand (and get) 6+ years, which would overlap with the timing of signing the core youth (Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Rielly, etc).

The decision Leafs management is making is not between JVR and Marleau, it's between JVR and one of Matthews, Marner, Nylander, etc.

- TheMussel

right..thats what I said..if you sign Tavares you have to make sacrafices in other places
- senstroll

Sign Tavares
Marleau plays next year and then gets allergic to his gear ( sounds legit )
Sign or trade for D.

Easy peasy.

maybe.
Id prefer Seguin to Tavares.

If, if, if. If's are all Tavares has ever been sold and it's led to one playoff run that lasted like one round.

Devils have a goalie. They have another great young centre too (Hischier). They have a guy playing at Hart levels. They're young and fast and exciting.

Plus they're 20 minutes away from where he is.

As long as they win...dont care what they do.

Any player that punches Marchand straight on the nose and breaks his beak will be my instant favorite player.

I'll buy his jersey, I swear to god I will.

So the real reason he's going to UFA is because the Isles can't afford to pay his insurance anymore

Meh.
Its been one season....and they have yet to make the playoffs.
I doubt he signs in Jersey unless they overpay. I cant see him leaving the Isles for a team just down the road. Doesnt seem like his style.
But we'll see.

DO IT.

DON'T COME BACK!

Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.

As much fun as it is to go out to watch Leafs playoff hockey in Toronto, it'll be even more fun in Montreal this year
