at what cost? 2nd rnd pick and a prospect? Cap hit!? Only so much they can do.

NHL 27 2.52 .914
EDIT: 17wins, 2ot losses (36points)


But Dubas knows best...

The very Obvious names are

Marleau (tough to move but his cap is a big problem)
Brown - paid too much for a 3/4th line now
Hainsey - UFA gone
Gardiner - UFA gone
Zaitsev - (tough to move but his cap is a big problem)

Seems pretty clear to me
- senstroll

Burke and a bunch of other people think there is
- senstroll

We traded Clarkson, David.

Of course there is.

Especially after the Leafs pay all the salary up front.

Yup, alot of teams looking to acquire an over 37 year old player and his 6m cap hit.
Hainsey and Gardiners cap saving are still just below what marner may make.

They may bring him back on a 1 year deal at the same amount he's getting paid now me think.

Hopefully not, supposedly he can be replaced by any AHL player.

see: Marincin, Martin.

Agreed.
Do yourself a favour man, just leave and never come back.

a 6mil cap and a 1 mil actual salary is a good trade chip..cheapos like Ottawa or Arizona would take that im sure

I just assume PM has to accept the trade? Does Dubas want to upset the room..probably not

850k caphit.
leafs could have had him for free.

You forgot Horton. He is on the cap in full this year.

Yes that's what I meant.

Maybe Willie for Datsyuk....probably score at the same pace.

I'm just screwin with you...it's Friday...lighten up.

Look who the Leafs got in return.

a player who'll never dress for the Leafs or any other team.

I'm not saying he's not movable just that return will be minimal

strongly disagree.
i don't like nylander much (newsflash).
but not because he isn't a decent hockey player, but he is obsolete on this leafs team - at least in the cap area, leafs should better be spending that money on another player + need wingers with different skillsets.

but nylander would get a great/good return in any trade, independent of his subpar play and bad attitude.

I was ribbing Sensy about Nylander.

IF we ever traded him I'd expect a big return of some sort.

Hopefully not, supposedly he can be replaced by any AHL player.

yes the Leafs do have a few Dman coming down the pipe.

oh

Your reply is an overreaction, cause i dont believe he was saying to "blow it up", no?

I added a question mark to the end of "Blow it Up"

Even though it didn't work out, Sparks was the proper one to keep.

They won't be ready to play top pair next year IMO

But as much as I defend Hainsey because he does some things well, I'd rather see a younger vet with a little more speed brought in.
