does polak poop in the woods?
- Conquest

Ya.. even 7x7 I'm happy..

Who knows what he'll command tho
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Other than teams that are poop who will have the cap space for that? He's not worth 7. Even though he'd make them better you can't win a cup if you overpay for guys.

Oh FFS! Could you stop being so Lumsy?
- Steven_Seagull

7x7 is pretty much my cut off. Not because I don't think that he deserves a contract like that, but due to our own internal cap management. If we had fewer rookies then I'd be more flexible.

Matthews is getting max..

Marner a tad less..

Nylander bridge deal..

I think the Leafs an afford to take on a huge contract for a #1D, the only question is, is Shats the guy you want?

And you know...we can't have it all.

WHY NOT!!

$7m or more puts him in the top 10

Can't win with a lousy defense either

I honestly don't see any reasonable way to get anybody else.


And Shats really is better than most seem to give him credit for

You don't think he's a top 10 D?

He's close.

overpay for nobody

You don't think he's a top 10 D?

(frank) it..I got that kinda cash. I'll cover it.

Over the last four seasons he's 4th in PPG (behind Burns, Karlsson, Letang; minimum 150 games played). I honestly don't think that the Leafs will ever be a D-first team with this set-up, but he suppresses shots against well also. If they could somehow snag Josh Manson also that'd be super

Sounds like a flat cap.

Probably gets the 6.5 yandle got

And Hamhuis for Nylander!

Wily vet, good in the room, calms down the rookies, gets the booth near the pinball machines at Chuck E. Cheese...

Man the blues slow the game down a lot, all those little hits and pushes

No (frank)ing penalty?

Blow-zak!!!!!! Argh!!!!!!!

that was my thinking. more than that is an overpay even by ufa standards.

imho

Bozak... no finish

Sometimes he has flashes where he looks so good, other times he looks like Michael Grabner circa Sept 2015
