I wonder if a team could kill Ottawa if they offered Mark Stone

4 year deal at 8.118mil
Signing bonus the first two years with like 14mil and 10mil the first two years.

Is that even possibru? Somebody get the Leafs capologist in here!

I would take him in a heartbeat.

He's a franking Leafs killer - always elevates his game when playing at the ACC (or whatever the frank we will be calling it this year).

Same here, Wayne Simmonds would look so nice in a Leafs jersey

Didn't they put in something where the cap hit is calculated differently for offer sheets or sumthin?

A great indication of how weak reporting is these days.

You guys gave me two different links to reporters reporting on what another reporter is reporting.

Trade the pick and next yrs 1st..Time to go for it they need D help and waiting to develop it wont get it done..
- Fruitcakenipple

I agree, I also wish they got rid of Lou a year earlier, might have that defense right now with all those UFA's he let walk.

Can't be that high.


Quick and dirty, closer to 9-10 in signing bonuses for the 1st 2 years could work.


The no-brainer is a one year deal. If the sens match, they won't be allowed to trade him and he will become a ufa.

If they don't match and you can't sign him long-tem by January, pull a doug wilson and trade him for more than you paid.

We can't trade him yet, we'll be left with this:

Rielly Hainsey
Zaitsev Dermott
Polak Carrick

Maybe Sparks, but not Gardiner; I'd be surprised if Philly takes him;

Gostisbehere
Provorov
Morin
Hagg

Plus their pipeline is stacked too with Sanheim and Philippe Myers

Excellent point, Jennifer Garner.

We aren't exactly dealing from a position of strength here.

i'm guessing we'd get one of their solid defense prospects in return if we trade them gardiner. Sanheim would be great, right shot too

We need a lot more than defence prospects right now if we want to be competitive next year.

they don't have much after Carter Hart; Sparks would be an insurance policy; Just look at what he's done this past year; Plus, Ronny, you were a goalie, you know how important the position is...

Is how I would sell it to Ron Hextall..
