Kulemin

Only if its over $3M per...anything less they can walk.
- Colin Dambrauskas

Other way around, if the award is 3.5 or more, then the club has 48 hours to notify that they do not intend to extend a contract, and the player becomes a UFA.

So in this case, Fraser is a Leaf not matter the outcome (excluding a trade).

Painted himself.in a corner because his priorities are stupid

explanation needed...

Fans are irrelevant when your boss gives you a 5-year extension for no particular reason.
- gravyface

Fans know how to voice their opinion.

oh I have no issue with his contract... as I said he would have gotten much more in Arbitration... probably $4M. He's still underpaid at $3.1M as far as I'm concerned and that's great.

comment was just that they would have had the option to walk away which would have created room to sign Franson... but it would also make the D core significantly worse.
- Big_Lightnin

4m for Gunnar...no way.
On a deep playoff team, Gunnar is a 4th -5 th dman

I've said it all summer long last year and I'll say it again today:

FREE FRANSON!

not out of the realm of possibility...

I think some are frustrated because the obvious area that needed an upgrade going into the off season was the D.

Now it's looking possible that it could end up being downgraded in favor of adding to goaltending and forwards.

His Arbitration award would have been $4M... at least. They base heavily on minutes played and value to the team.

He's the Leafs #2 for the majority of the last 3 seasons. Nonis would have gotten bent over in that arbitration hearing.

Who??

Kulemin.
Ya I get it, you'll disagree.
But his play the past 2 years hasnt been that great, specially is defensive play....it is overrated.

These are the days of our liles.

Liles will get traded folks, stop the fretting.

Kulemin
- Big_Lightnin

Yeah, no.

Liles should have been bought out, not Komisarek.

Been saying that all along.

If we can manage to Keep Franson and lose Liles we will be fine

Last season we started with Holzer and Koska, this season Ranger and Gardiner. thats an upgrade already

In terms of "priorities" I've heard them complain about the order in which players were signed (IE signing Ranger and Gunner before Franson and KAdri).

That is why asked, becasue that is a load of poop.

Been saying that all along.

Komi's regular buyout would have been over $2M cap hit for 2013... would still have the same problem.

You will have to explain what you mean "chemistry" between Bozak and Kessel. How that translates success on the ice.
- senstroll

Bozak - playmaker, good on the draws and for whatever the reason they work well together.

Grabovski is not a typical center, he's a shoot first and also puck hog. Having him play with Kessel is a waste of Kessel who is the teams best player.

I'm sorry you lost your favourite player dude, Grabo was a nice player for the team for a while. Time changes and the team evolved.

Yeah.


Key is getting Franson signed.

not out of the realm of possibility...
- Big_Lightnin

He's having contract problems for 2 years in a row with the Leafs.

I'm not sure he loves how they're treating him so far.

Oh Gleason is soooo mean!

I believe that was Kulemins only fight...not exactly known for dropping the mitts.

Yeah, but I was told we didn't upgrade!!!! Are you telling me otherwise!!!
