GM Dave Nonis must continue to focus on Franson, try and get some sort of deal done. But, with the Leafs tight in cap-space with $1,995,833 million, it could be tricky.

Actually they have 2.3 mil in space, and by sending liles to the Marlies it gives them3.2 mil. Franson isn't worth more than that.

Plus what about the other guys such as Brennan, once they are in the AHL, isnt that more cap room?

yeah right now they are carrying 22 players so 1 spare forward and 1 spare D. If they sign a D they can send one down. If they sign a forward they can send one down. It's best to carry at least one spare of each, but if both the Leafs and Marlies at playing at home then they don't need to carry a spare D.

Sorry Kadri, but we were never going to sign you to a long term deal. Case and point Kulemin's 30 goal campaign and what happened since.

Glad he's here to prove it over a longer time frame. Good move by Nonis.

Esplen is the biggest homer on this site. Just about every trade he proposes is slanted heavily in Vancouvers favor. Also just about every player on the nucks roster is prime for a breakout season...

"I know no one outside Vancouver feels this way, but Cory Schneider is a franchise goalie. Put him on nearly every team and he will take them to the playoffs at worst. The guy is a stud in goal and he will be in the Vezina discussion for the next six or seven years. " -Esplen (June 29)

"So rather than focus on what Vancouver lost via trade, I prefer to look at what Vancouver gained. And what they gained is a very good hockey player, who may be lining up on the third-line next season. And when that happens I get this odd feeling that people in Vancouver will be saying, “Cory who?” sooner rather than later." -Esplen (July 1)

This blog offers nothing but information everyone knows, and almost no opinion or insights.

Give the guy a break; he's a guest writer.

Have you seen what some of the other established bloggers post around here?

Yeah, sure their insights may be poor or misguided. Or the post may just suck. This is just...very plain.

I don't know why the word 'thoughts' would appear in the title.

This article contained no actual thoughts at all. It was simply a re-hashing of old material that all of us already know.

I want my 30 seconds back.

Maybe there is a bonus we don't know of...like $50G's in Maryjane per year = $5.9M.

It's good, and always packed - good service too. Take an appetite with you and be prepared to hit the gym next day to wear off the poutine and onion rings.
