6m in projected cap space, and they still gotta re-sign RFAs tierney and hertl

My guess is Martin goes to make room (Arizona?) and they sit up near the cap all season.

I assumed they were bringing back Joe Thornton.. I guess, now they are not.

Just too bad, that the Leafs didn't have any real "journeymen" like Boedker on the roster.. Closest, would be....Matt Martin, maybe?
- PatC80

I don't even know if players on any other team would want that guy. How would you feel as a member of the SJS knowing that he and his psycho fiance are heading your way...I wouldn't love it

Considering his age and his lack of legs, he really shouldn't get paid more than 3mil.

I’d be happy if leafs took Martin to help out the cap for San Jose if they made it worth while.

At what point do the Sens re-qualify for an expansion draft?

Everyone knew he had to be traded; Selling so low, means the Sens knew he and his gf are guilty.
- PatC80

The only club with any knowledge of this prior to the deadline was Ottawa. They were well out of the playoff race by then and instead of getting a 1st + by moving him while the Sword of Damocles dangled overhead they overplayed their hand and got bent over Chiarelli style. Looks great on them.

When does Dorion's head roll? The org knew about the Hoffman's GF thing since before the deadline and they didn't try to trade him when they could have gotten a 1st rounder or something decent.

Now they get a potential 5/6 defenseman to add to their glut of those and a Boedker who has fallen off the map.

- AdamFrench


Never?

I think they're trying to build a team so bad that when they sell and it moves to Quebec City the people of Ottawa will see it as a blessing.

I'd be pissed. I love spending 100 bucks and getting to sit in a great seat at the price of driving 45 minutes.

I doubt that little; last year he got $8M, coming off a major injury.. This season, got injured again. I would've guessed a 1 yr/$6M deal

After he trades Karlsson for pickled herring sandwich and a Billy bookcase.
- TheMussel

Not a bad trade, because let's be honest: we can all use a Billy bookcase.

Not until Melnyk is out. Do you think anyone wants to sign on as a new GM of this sinking ship? They'd never work in the league again.

He's doing it again with Karlsson in my opinion. If he waits until after the draft he will end up with less than if he did it before.

He should trade him for a top 10 pick in this years draft and give their 4th pick to Colorado.

I'm going to play the devil's advocate here:

How do we know it was Hoffman's fiancee?

Pretty easy to create an anonymous Twitter account.

If there was any hard proof, the police would have issued more than a peace bond.

It's just funny that in this she said/she said, everyone has already sided with the Karlsson's version.

We have no way of knowing.

Ottawa fans need to be careful what they wish for.

I hear of lot of "Melnyk out!" but I've yet to hear a realistic proposal for a new owner who would spend the necessary Benjamins to keep the Sens in Ottawa and competitive.

It's a tiny market with no corporate base, and the federal government can neither buy tickets nor accept them. It makes it pretty tough to turn a profit.

Not worth it.
I know you have hard on for Bouchard...but the cost to move up to 15th - 20th then to the 3rd spot would be very expensive.
Plus no one is trading the top 3 picks.

- Fakepartofme


And UG was the one who hated giving up a 2nd for a rental. Now all of a sudden he wants to give up many picks just for one mediocre pick.

I understand your points, but I'm not buying that she had nothing to do with it after seeing what they got for a return in that trade...

You are failing to factor in that it was Ottawa executing the trade.

Ottawa, Rick.
