Maybe Karlsson?

Karlsson had Salming and Sundin jerseys growing up.

It might just be a favor to Martin because he clearly wasn't going to see the ice in Toronto this season. The cap space is a nice bonus but doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be used.

I believe he did request a trade too

Do we have to count any of Martins cap as ours?

We paid him $1.5m bonus

You don't get a "the" in front of your name without having the capability to sign for two teams at once. Never rule out the Bozek

I want to win a Cup. So damn bad.

That’s why I signed in St. Louis. There’s your headline. Print it.

Maybe the Leafs can dump Zeitsev and replace him with RHD Karlsson

Seems like an odd trade, not in a cap crunch this season and trading away a player who may be able to put in some meaningful minutes for us for nothing. It may help next year when we need the cap space, but otherwise it's a loss. A very minor loss but still a loss.

Pretty sure it is all lumped into the 2.5 million dollar cap hit that now belongs to NYI.

I could be mistaken, perhaps others can confirm.

He did say “will update.” I can’t wait to not read that too.

McAdam is a former Penn State goalie. Nothing special. Certainly not the top goalie in the isles system. Doubt he sees NHL time with Pickard and Sparks around

What's wrong with that statment? The leafs weren't bringing him back so he went with a team that he thinks has a chance?

Clearing 2.5 Million in cap space is a win.

I read it as him implying the leafs didn't have a chance.

he wasn't going to play

he's a great guy and isn't "done" yet...Leafs will be too fast and skilled to have Martin on the team. Cap space was much more of a need that Martin on the roster, esp. after adding Tavares and likely another quality defender.

gotta resign the kids most importantly.
