Is Stamkos off the Leaf market now? A little over 5 mil in space with 20 players signed.

A lot more than that Vantel, a lot more.

Cap is going up and they can trade players if need be

Isn't Stevie Y the GM who is going to lose Stamkos for nothing?
Didn't he also piss off StLouis who demanded a trade, and also pissed off Drouin?

If Garrison was such a stud how come all we were offered back is a second. Maybe the old DCore of Canucks was not as hot as some think they were.
- VANTEL

Easy answer, jb was offered a first two seconds and a top prospect for garrison, he turned them down and took the 2nd because he's an idiot

Leafs also have more cap than that. Buyout of Cowen coming, they should have a solid 10-13 million to play with.
- golfingsince

How so? Are the players using the escalator clause? If not the cap is expected to drop between 2-3 mill.
And buying out Cowan saves them, what 2 mill?

I am just going by what General Fanager says. It says about 5.3 in space 20 players under contract. If the cap goes up 3 mil and you save 3 mil in the buyout it is still 11.3 with 20 players.

Actually gives them a credit of 650k (if you can believe)

Pretty sure the cap isn't decided yet.

I'm sure glad Benning moved Garrison to get the 2nd round pick used to acquire Vey. What great asset management. Garrison played as TB's #3 this season & #4 last & when with the Canucks. Whoever thought a top 4 NHL Dman could be had so cheap on a decent contract.

Put me & the Canucks out of my misery & fire Benning now. Take Desjardins & Linden with him. Include Acquilini with all of them well at it. Can we fire an owner?

Thankfully I'm keeping my 10K spent on seasons tickets for essentially the last 25 years. Why pay 10K for 2 seats annually when I can get them for free or 12.50 on the street & only go to games I wish to. Which moving forward is ZERO. Or at least until they clean house in management.

I can't think of a single GM that has mismanaged assets so poorly as Benning, Ever! Give me Mike Milbury he makes Benning look dumb no easy feat as Milbury is my #2 worst all time GM.

I'm still laughing at this post, you're entitled to your thoughts but it's pretty cowardly of you to post your drivel every so often and never show to explain or defend your post.

Pretty much phicker777, grow a pair and converse with fellow posters instead of being trollish..

Did they not say during the SCF that the cap will dip well below 70 mill unless the players use the escalator clause. I mean that's hat the TSN here in Ontario said

Possibly. I ain't a fan of TSN and their Leafs hating ways. It will be funny, I'm sure you agree, to see the Leafs fall flat on their face with SS, Matthews, Nylander, Brown and Zaitsev

I don't want to spoil it for you but it gets better (if your welsh)

Yeah just checked it out. Weird. Then a 750 k hit next yr. Also the 5.3 mill available is after the Cowan buyout, at least according to General Fanager

2-0 Wales

Hopefully they can get past Toronto in the knock out round.

Yeah. Lots if room for Lou and the boys a bit weird really seeing management act like they know what's going on. I'd say Stamkos is as given. Suppose I juts hope it's less than 10 per year

He is definitely behind EG, Hutton, Edler and Tanev. I would also put him below Tree give his age and upside. Sbisa...it depends if we get 2014 or 2015 Sbisa. Nobody seems willing to change their opinions of the guy even though he has clearly improved. We can't afford to pay $4.5MM for a number 6.
- CanuckDon

Sorry bud I can't agree with your assessment, Garrison was a solid defense-man when traded and would still be number 4 on this team...you're talking about the canucks defense one of the worst in the league..

You're allowing your hatred to cloud your judgement.

If several Leaf fans are saying they have cap space, then rest assured they have cap space. They may not know talent, but they know draft picks and cap space.

You're kidding right, TSN hating Leafs? They have a Leafs lunch and most of the time on the Overdrive show alll they talk about is Leafs and Bluejays.
