So adding free assets is a sign they'd be derailing their plans?

Wishful thinking on your part. It's getting ridiculous the amount of picks they have.

Assuming I "Hate" the leafs, is your first mistake. I find them an endless source of entertainment, in how they've operated the franchise over the past number of decades.

The second is thinking I really care enough about their re-build, to comment on it. I openly admit that I don't follow them closely enough to accurately comment on their current rebuild, to add to the more informed (on the re-build) leaf fans who do so.

Why you want my stamp of approval is beyond me, but if you want it, here it is.

From the surface it looks so far so good, but the most highly talked about prospects all seem to be cut from the same cloth, and perhaps because I don't know about any others, and don't really have any interest into drilling down further.

But just like a lot of leaf fans, just sitting back to see what management does to derail the current plan...........just like all other leaf GMs have done in the past.............trying to "fast track" the re-build.

But you cared so passionately about it when they weren't rebuilding like you said they should.

So by "Free" do you mean zero Cap Hit?

Clarkson was a "Free asset", how did that work out?

I think that you're referring to Spatso, who was a leaf fan, and then claims he gave them up, and became an ex-leaf fan.

It didn't work out. But it also didn't derail anything.

I mean "free asset" as in, not trading picks and prospects for the benefit of adding 7M+ in cap hit.

Well, he would take up a lot of cap space, and that could lead to problems down the road after all these future NHL superstars that the leafs have drafted exit their ELCs.


Steven Stamkos has been playing much less than a "top flight #1C" this season, on a playoff bound team........... is this what the leafs really need at this point in their 5(?) year re-build??? Would not waiting for Tavares in a couple of years to become an UFA be a little more logical?

I agree. Lots of good reasons to wait for Tavares:

- Instead of signing a 26 year-old stamkos until he is 33, we should sign a 28 year-old Tavares to a higher cap hit until he is 35.

- if Stamkos is available to sign, I think it's a smart thinking to pass on him for the 1% chance that Tavares makes it to FA.

- Marner/Nylander will be on their ELC's for 3-4 years of Stamkos' contract, offsetting Stamkos' cap hit. Marner/Nylander only have 1-2 years of ELC reaming over the duration of a Tavares contract.

-Rielly will likely be looking for a new contract just as Stamkos' contract comes off the books. Probably easier to sign Rielly to a big fat new contract with Tavares' big fat contract on the books vs. no cap hit from Stamkos.

Senators have developed a "wining culture" in their organization, and it really contrasts with the "losing culture" that the Oilers have instilled in their organization.

Senators get behind in games, and don't give up, they continue to push to win games, and the Oilers get behind by a couple of goals late in games, and pack it in and go through the motions and simply play out the remaining time.
