My guess is that it will be;

Johnsson - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - Tavares - Marner
Mikheyev - Kerfoot - Kapanen
Marchment - Spezza - Shore

Rielly - Ceci
Muzzin - Barrie
Dermott - Schmaltz

Andersen
Neuvirth
- PatC80

I wouldn’t be surprised if aberg makes the team. I thought he had good game last night too.

Marner is to Kucherov what Chabot is to Hedman.

Should be good deal for Sens if he continues to be elite young dman.

But this should help give some perspective on why Marner makes more than Kucherov.

taxes?

He's also waiver-exempt, so the Leafs can send him down (on paper) every off-day to save some of that precious, precious cap space.

I can't wait for Beatle John and Komisoreass to complain about that.

and mean parents.

Gauthier will need to clear waivers if he is sent down.

That might get interesting.

Or it might not...
- Atomic Wedgie

welll now... do the Leafs risk losing him to supplant him with the dynamic dinosaur that is Jason "flying feet" Spezza?

taxes?
- senstroll

But seriously 15% is the tax deficit so yes that's in play.

But more importantly the world (outside of HBuzz) realizes that the prime performance years should be the prime earning years. Get it while you can and invest it while they're great.

We took him six drafts ago, and he can't stick as our 4th line centre.

It might be time for somebody to trot out the ol' sunken-cost fallacy explanation.
- Atomic Wedgie

Hasn't really had an opportunity - and last season (regular season + playoffs) he was actually playing well to really well.
More minutes and he'll do much better.
He might end up as #3C - if Nylander indeed stays at Matthews' wing (which I agree will be so start of season).
I hope the Goat will stay on the team, I like his play.

Mikheyev Tavares Marner
Hyman Matthews Nylander
Agostino Lowry Kapanen
Moore Goat Gaudet/Marchment

Rielly - Ristolainen
Muzzin - Barrie
Harpur - Liljegren/Schmaltz

Dermott & Johnsson to Buffalo
Ristolainen(.5m retained) + Borgen to Toronto

Ceci to Winnipeg
Lowry to Toronto

Bringing in Risto and Lowry would be awesome..

So pencil him in for the 3rd line?
- Atomic Wedgie

I'd be interested to seem him get some time with Tavares and Marner... if he can shoot, might be an interesting option instead of Hyman.

definitely doesn't look intimidate at all... which is great.

- senstroll

c'mon... you know that tax stuff only applies to the Leafs.

Dreger said so.

I wouldn’t be surprised if aberg makes the team. I thought he had good game last night too.
- bryant

I just don't see where he would fit in with this roster. Doesn't have much size and he wasn't good enough for the Oilers

Bringing in Risto and Lowry would be awesome..


- PatC80

okay but you have Ben Harpur listed here, who is barely an AHL player.

How did he look last night?
- Atomic Wedgie

Got a lot better as the game went on.

Started pretty bad and ended really good.

okay but you have Ben Harpur listed here, who is barely an AHL player.
- BINGO!

not an issue... Leafs will steal one of Carolina's waiver'd defensemen... maybe even Jake Game7 Gardiner

okay but you have Ben Harpur listed here, who is barely an AHL player.
- BINGO!

stop it, you.

HE'S A GUD PRO!

beats the hell out of Marincin - we already know how bad he is.

how did ceci look?

i saw a few shifts, i surprisingly didn't hate him.

- PatC80

I think so .... will probably get female doged at for suggesting it

I don't think Harpur will be up with the big club... I'm not too worried about the Marlies roster.

Thoughts on Chabots 8x8 AAV deal? I think its ok. After this I wonder what Josi is going to get.

not hugely noticeable ... made some nice break out passes

O'Dog said last night "Sens have to sign the kid"... after losing everyone else.

He's right... and they did.... I think it is a smart move that they had to make.

They both play a physical game, Lowry can take faceoffs, plays the PK...
I think Risto just needs a change of scenery to be honest. Playing in Buffalo can't be easy

I agree. I do wonder if its an overpay a bit, but with the contracts going around you really cant complain.
