Well some will say (alot)that he's the best dman in the league so 10×8 book it he's not taking hometown discount! No way webber,p.k . money? Their 9mil so he's going to cost big time!
- MR.Hunter

10x8 would almost be a discount lol

Moves will occur, its guaranteed. They have too many young forwards...time to ship some out (not Nyl, Mar or Mat obviously)
LEafs wont get a numbe 1 or 2 dman via trade...most likely get a 3-4 dman via trade or UFA.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do a 4/5 player deal,similar to the islanders where they sent 4 players for graubner? I think it was?.....to Vegas?

*asks Phx to delay the press release until tomorrow*

If the Leafs get OEL for that deal then that is ok. Consider it my final gift to you guys.

Totally agree with you. One thing you should keep in mind is - relative to other sports, NHL still has superior officiating. NBA - is disgraceful - too many faults to list, MLB is pathetic - umpire egos bigger than the planet with obscene strike zones, soccer seems to be officiated by only those with visual impairments and Many NFL games are decided by calls not all of them correct. But I still agree with you, call everything and play hockey. Let talent rule.

The worst part is that they want to increase scoring... and then in the biggest showcase time of the year they allow all this crap.

You want to increase scoring, then finally do something about goalie's equipment and crackdown on obstruction again... and for crying out loud do it in the playoffs also.

the refs very nearly decided that Ottawa Pittsburgh series by crippling the more talented team.

10x8 would almost be a discount lol

If the cap goes to 80 in two years,maybe?

So... just for the giggles of discussing,

What if Phoenix offered OEL for Nylander or Marner. Do you do either deal?

(not that Phoenix would do that).
- Aetherial

Nah, and only for the reason that I watched most Sweden games this month and nylander was one of the best players on the ice at all times.

That and I'm pretty biased towards leaf players.

meh.

not that he isn't really good, but crosby pretty much owned EK every shift last night.

Such a gentleman!

not sure if this made the rounds already, on dubas:

“I believe the window is closed. I don’t think he’ll be going,” Friedman explained. “And I believe that Toronto closed the window. That initially they were willing to let him go, and then they weren’t. And so I think that’s kind of where it stands here.”

G.m.s get crazy look at Kopitar, Toews, Kane,(they won cups) mine you, but the stars get paid! If it's determined like ottawas ownership and fans say he's the best he will be paid accordingly!

I personally don't think that he will,he has a great situation here!

Tanev for Nylander and a 4th?
- Symba007

I'm good with them not letting him go if that's the case. I would like to see what he can do here still.

I think he just quotes BleacherReport and HockeysFuture anyways.
- markmark

Eww.

NOOOOOOO!

Not just because I don't want to move any of the legit talent we've had in years but because I don't trust OEL's game outside of Arizona plus he's bland to me....

Big guys with snarl is what we need and I still wouldn't want to give up Nylander or Marner for them.

Would rather stick to the plan and wait it out a bit longer. Some type of trade should come up in the next year or so that won't cost us one of our stars. And this from an impatient bastard who wants the D fixed NOW!

IMO we have to keep:
Matthews
Nylander
Marner
Brown
Kadri
Rielly
Zaitsev
Gardiner
Andersen

Everyone else and draft picks should get someone decent for the D.

Wait...the guy who has scored 13,15,23,21 and 12 goals in the past few seasons is "bland?"

Who the hell isn't bland? Burns? Karlsson?
