And that's not even close to their worse deal.

Get this, they are paying 11.5 million for their 4th line LOL (Eriksson, Beagle, Virtanen). Dubas could get a better 4th line for 8-8.5 less.

Brandon Sutter makes 4.4. Beagle makes 3 million. Roberto Luongo makes over 3 million on their cap (Seriously).

What a disaster. Worst of all, no elite talent is signed. Even Boeser's deal ends after next season. they could only afford 3 years for him.

I had Canuck fans point out 4 players 40 million for the Leafs and laugh.

It appears unless a players' deal starts with a 10 infront of it no one pays attention or thinks it's bad.

A lot of poop comes off the books in the next two years, though.

Right when Rielly wants a new contract.

Look, it may not be a rational fear, but it's still one that will be with me until he puts his signature on a new contract.

It's simple, you take the money you were paying Phil, and give it to Rielly

Staal hasn't looked too good this season. But maybe it's the Buffalo curse. No player looks good playing for that team. Dahlin looks completely defeated.

That is too far away to care about.

We'll know what we have in Lil, Sandin, Robertson, Amirov by then.

I haven't been watching him.

The stats show he is doing pretty well considering its Buffalo.

I am just hoping for a Kerfoot upgrade and he is the guy I see as being an upgrade. I think a big bodied C is important on that 3rd line.

Staal has 3 goals, 5 assists in 20 games. He'd certainly do better in Toronto. I'm just not sure if he's an upgrade on Kerfoot at this stage of his career.

It's hard to tell on Buffalo. Thats' great stats on that team it seems. I do like him myself as a 3rd line C.

I think she would make a great spokesperson for Rogers or Bell - doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff in Toronto - stuff that the public doesn't ever really see, but that she makes millions of dollars in salary for.

Kerfoot line keeps getting shelled shots wise when he plays C. Kerfoot at LW=Staal at C in terms of results but Staal at C>>>Kerfoot at C

ahh he takes Boyds spot.

I do like him though, If he can beat out a rental 3C coming in and play on that 3rd line instead then great...1.25M at 3C would be great next year.

It’s early, so far so good but we’ll see how he looks the next 10.

I like that line, it’s getting more ice every game.

What worries me is he seems to lose motivation and goes into a shell for 15-20 games

Seems like he is producing....and he has been much better on the PP. Both are on 2nd units.

There has to be problems in that room or the coach or something.

They don't have a cup-contending roster, but they are way underperforming. When a kid like Dahlin is not progressing, you have to think something's up there.

I just realized I made a pot of coffee this morning and forgot all about it.

No wonder I'm so franked in the head today.

So who sits when Simmonds comes back? If the ZIP/HEM line keeps it up Engvall is staying.

I'm guessing we will be dealing with another injury by then.

Because Leafs.
