I could be wrong (shocker), but I think he was just referring to teams' top 3 players and not worrying about whether they played on the same line or not.
- RickJames77

You could be right - I interpreted "trios" as being a line.

Posted in the rumor thread about this trade, basically it's nonsense when you consider the doom and gloom the media is saying about the Leafs keeping their stars.

--

This year is not the issue for Tampa, next year is:

Karlsson is getting 11m per. Kucherov is getting at least 10m.

Karlsson @ 11
Kucherov @ 10
Stammer @ 8.5
Hedman @ 7.8
McDonagh @ 4.7
Palat @ 5.3
JT Miller @ 5.2
Johnson @ 5
Killorn @ 4.5

That's an astounding 62m on only 9 guys.

Paquette would have to go now, and Stevie would basically be screwed for resigning Point and Vasi the year after.

Minimum 2 more would also have to go to make a Karlsson deal work if he's not just doing it for this year. Note I've already assumed Cally is gone to make this happen.

Among the best defences in the league?

No. If they get Karlsson they have the best defence in the league.

I also just realized I didn't even account for Sergachev's next contract either. Tampa is pure mad to try to make this happen. They'd have to ship out 3 guys for pennies on the dollar.

I'm pretty sure the bold is higher as well. Doesn't his new extension kick in that year?

We should've traded for McDonagh, could've offered a better package than what the Rangers got

- RickJames77

You're correct, my bad. That's another 2m gone. 64m on 9 players in 2019. 70m on 10 if you add in Callahan.

Buffalo will take Stralman, Callahan, and a prospect for those pennies please.

Send Bogosian to Ottawa as a part of the deal.

Its 6.75 for 7 yrs

Vegas still has 6 picks in the first 3 rounds of the 2019 draft and 5 in the 2020 draft. Team is building really well.

I feel for Seattle because when they come owners and GMs won't make the same deals as they did for Vegas.

JT for Karlsson

Go Leafs Go

Or maybe it doesn’t have poop to do with Leafs and maybe they just thought after Washington beat them in the conf finals they needed to do something to get better?

Nah...it’s always about the leafs.
- Iggysbff

This hands down. Seriously when will these (frank)s get it into their thick neanderthal skulls that not everything in hcokey has to do with Toronto. Any (frank)ing team that has the assets to acquire Karlsson would make a deal to get him... get off your (frank)ing high horses.

dorion would probably trade karlsson straight up for bogo...if they weren't in the same division.

Bogosian is a bad contract but only this year and next. I would worry more about Okposo at $6m for 5 more years for 44 points is not great.

We swung and missed. It is what it is. It's not like we weren't a part of the conversations.

I am genuinely happy that the organization was on the radar of the highest sought after free agents. It speaks well to the direction we're going as opposed to where we were going.

That being said as of now we'll be looking at 1st round exits unless we jump into the other bracket. I hope we trade Krug in a package for Panarin if he would resign here, but that's a pipe dream obviously.
- RickJames77

You say that now but Tavares only listened to Boston so he could get the inside scoop, so the Leafs can systematically dismantle the Bruins.

He played the long con and you guys fell for it. Muahahaha

If it wasn't for the whole Toronto/Ottawa dynamic imagine the Leafs making an offer for Karlsson?

Reilly/Kapanen/2019 1st

or

Nylander/2019 1st +

Toronto next year.
Tavares @ 11
Matthews @ 11
Marleau @ 6.25
Marner @ 8
Reilly @ 5
Horton @ 5.3
Nylander @ 7
Zaitsev @ 4.5
Andersen @ 5

That too is an astounding 63 million on 9 guys.... and one of them isn't even on your roster......

so what

Listen Smurfette. Not sure any Leafs fan thinks Karlsson is coming to the Leafs. Clearly a lot of fans from other teams make comments like this due to penile envy.
