Apparently wild are offering Simmonds a deal with Term and everything. Seems crazy.

Someone is gonna give him way to much money and term. Lucic 2.0

That would be good, maybe we can get Dumba from them.

As long as it doesn't cost Nylander. I think Nylander is gonna be the best contract on the leafs in a year or two.

I doubt it would. If Minny overpays for Simmonds they'd have to clear some cap.

Yeah but every team in the league would be interested in Dumba even though with the kessel,Miller and haula trades it feels like gms arent dealing with multiple teams.

Maybe.. We came close to getting Subban. I think Dubas can pull off a big trade

That's gonna suck. Free agency will be tough with Marner holding us hostage.

If he gets offer sheeted beyond the 4 1st threshold I'd let him go. If he hasn't signed by September leafs should reduce their offer. Gotta take a stance on one of these guys. Cant just give them the world when they have no leverage

Assuming the Kadri thing is for realz, would you sign Spezza for Cheap? I mean he's old and all but decent vet and local boy.

I wouldnt mind Ennis back, so Down the middle we'd be JT, Mathews, Ennis and Moore assuming Kadri goes.

We gots no grit tho.

Dubas has done nothing to show that he can negotiate well. He got worked in the fine print of the kessel deal. Gave up a first for Marleau(probably had to). Gave Matthews everything he wanted. Caved last minute on Nylander (can't blame him. Last year was the leafs best chance to win a cup).

If it gets to September, might as well go with a bridge deal

I think Nylander as 3 C is better than Spezza at this point.

Dubas didn't do the Kessel deal, he didn't cave to Nylander and the Marleau deal was good. The 1st rd pick is lottery protected

I dont feel he will get offer sheeted.
Your best winger, and top 2 player, you dont want to play hardball too much. But you cant give in too much, agreed.
He'll figure it out.

Cant have a 6.9m 3rd line center whos afraid to get physical.
Willie needs to play with better players to maximize his output.

Leafs have been running 3 top 6 lines. Nylander as 3c wouldn't be a traditional 3rd line. Probably pair him with kapanen or Bracco. Would play Tavares against other teams top line and need a solid defensive 4th line.
