Imagine hating a team so much that you laugh at a trade, that honestly isn't even enough for a player of Marner's caliber, and thinking it's an over payment.

(frank)ing insane.

I thought he was laughing because it was an underpayment.


I do really want Byram, though.

Obviously a dumb trade on the surface. But the next 2-3 years cap space is the new gold currency. Especially considering FAs will be had much cheaper than previous years. For example. If there was a clear road to say, using that money to bring on Pietrangelo, then the cap space for a pick trade doesn’t look so bad. Obviously there would need to be assurances. I have no idea the context of burger’s statement just to be clear.

Cap situation is a problem for all teams and for FAs. With a level playing field there is no reason not to make hockey based trades and not simply to make cap induced trades. If the Leafs were up against the cap with their money going to older or useless players, then yeah move someone for a pick.

If you want to change the distribution of you cap $ do that but don’t make panic moves.

That Lightning game was (frank)ing torture to watch...and I only saw the 3rd to the end.

Goaltending was amazing. Lightning had a worse shooting % than the Leafs. But got the stops. Game of Millimetres some days.

Korpi saw more rubber than the 405.

He made some terrific saves and I counted at least half dozen terrific deflected late pucks he stopped.

I’m bent they didn’t call VH for the exact same move they called Jones for earlier.

Tampa doesn’t take 1 penalty in 5 OT’s ??? Yeah right.

No it's a dumb trade of any surface. He's not just saying it saves cap space, he's saying Nylander has very little value. Far worse players get more for a few weeks at the trade deadline. 1 year ago Berger claimed it would cost Nylander to get the past his prime Wayne Simmonds for 6 weeks. Simmonds went for very little of course.

Nylander will only go for a very good DMan. He's 24, 31 goals, signed through his prime with very little actual $$ left on his deal.

Hyman Matthews Nylander
Johnsson Tavares Robertson
Miky Kerfoot Donskoi
Engvall Gauthier Kapanen

Reilly Muzzin
Byram Zadorov
Dermott Holl
Sandin

Its time to move on from holl

https://www.sportsnet.ca/...e-maple-leafs-off-season/


BTW, remember the past few weeks I've said the Leafs' paying huge July 1st bonuses make their players have more value? There you go. Friedman just mentioned it. Nylander is actually owed very little $$$$. That will be huge as many teams are cutting budget this offseason due to COVID losses.

I think actual cash will even mean more than "Cap".

The Maple Leafs have more flexibility than some realize. Nylander’s actual cash payments drop below his cap hit the next four seasons, Kasperi Kapanen’s for the next two. (My understanding of the post-signing no-trade promise to Nylander was that it was intended to be solely in the immediate aftermath of the agreement.) In 2021–22, Andreas Johnsson and Alex Kerfoot join that list. That has value in a tight-cap, tight-cash world. Toronto will test the market to see what dance partners pop up.

I’m predicting no huge trades will happen & Dubas will keep the big 3 & Willy.
Patch up the D & try it for another season.
It will put Dubas on the hot seat.
- Nighthawk

if dubas does nothing, he needs to be fired.
If shanny doesnt fire him after that, shanny needs to be fired.
This 40 million in 4 players isnt working.
I can some small moves being made, I don't believe dubas has the stones to move willie or marner.
But I could be wrong, we'll see
