I thought that's what a two way deal was. Well poop.
- Aaron_85

2 way deal just means paying nhl money in nhl and ahl money in ahl.

Waivers are based on age and games played and when the player first signed

I’m assuming it will be for Boeser....I’ll allow it.

Actually signing a guy to a 1 way deal may make it easier to sneak through

This. It's a less attractive pickup for a budget team unless they plan to play them in the NHL.

Pickard went through waivers last year too. Vegas slipped him by after picking up Subban.

Fans always get ahead of themselves. Always being so unrealistic.



Hell, Dreger blamed the fans this morning on the radio for the continued regurgitation of the Matthews new agency news.

I think teams let him go because they'd have to send him down through waivers as well. I could be making it up, but I think the leafs traded for him once he was through waivers so they didn't have to try to sneak him through their waivers with everyone knowing they wanted him.

Vancouver fans sure do love Tanev except they don't want him on their team.

Correct. If you didn't plan on having him in th nhl picking off waivers doesn't make sense.

Enough of this please!

have you guys beat the goalie conversation to death yet? Doesn't matter. Here's my take:

We have:

Andersen
McBackUp
Sparks
Pickard

I suggest you leave the NHL goalies as they are. McBackup played fine and will play fine next year. Let his contract ride out the final year.

Trade Sparks and let Pickard play. Pickard was Colorado's heir apparent for awhile but they no longer liked him and he was taken in the expansion draft.

Sparks' value will never be higher. Trade the guy and allow another prospect or sign another AHL goalie to back up Pickard to see what he's got. He can take over back up duties the following year.
- Aaron_85

Don't forget about Kaskisuo who they just re-signed as well.

I did forget him. Honestly, it means a goalie is as good as gone this off-season.

I think Babcock likes McBackup and will fight to keep him for the year unless he Enroth's the net.

I'd move Sparks. He did win AHL goalie of the year but there's some real crap on that list. A lot of failed starters in the NHL.

McBackup's stats were at the top of the league last year.

GAA and SV%.

I went back and fixed it. Are you happy now?

Oh, it was only Dreger.

Whoever signs JT will probably wish they could Opt out after 3 or 4 seasons. If Lou can salvage some kind of worthy return, I am not opposed to JT being moved. If he re-signs with the Isles......its not the worst thing in the world cause its not my money. Isles are in a win-win situation.
- LItransplant44

Highly disagree, JT is an elite centre that would make any team astronomically better. If any team has a chance to get one for free you take it and run

Apparently Tanev would be our #1 d-man.

For 16 games.

If the Leafs got Tavares their forward corps would be disturbing.

So would their D corps...but for different reasons.

Get Tavares and some interesting UFA D men might become available for less than the Leafs would normally pay. A lot of D with no trade clauses might exclude the Leafs from that as well... Overpaying for Tavares might not be a problem in the end.

Would certainly make the East's centre matchups fun

vs

Crosby

Brassard

vs

Kuznetsov
Backstrom
Eller

vs

Stamkos
Point
Johnson

vs

Bergeron
Krejci
Nash

vs

Oh...oh my.

I think Toronto might make a trade for Tyler Myers.
Makes a bit of sense to get him as a first pairing RH D alongside Rielly.
In last year of his contract as well - at 5.5mln.
