To be clear, I only know Leonard by reputation, but everything I hear is impressive.

Apparently a pain in the ass to play against at every turn.

OT:

This is HF so a goodly portion of what is posted here contains unrealistic expectations and wild speculation.

I'm not singling anyone out. We all do it.

But really, in what universe are the Leafs going to deal Marner or even Tavares?

"Give us your gold and take our junk."

It's not going to happen so why waste the time and effort to post it?

Fan is short for fanatic.

Marner needs new deal along with Tavares .NHL upping cap just in time 😆 He will stay in Ontario is a strong bet with him from there.

Taveres and Marner are ufa after this year. No way they trade them. But they could sign somewhere else if they wanted to.

Whatever works, works. It matters little if he isn't by definition a "true #1" so long as he plays like one. Same with Geekie.



Looks bad in terms of term and AAV yes, but it was necessary, unless you were good with Zacha and Coyle again as the top 6 C's. This is where Sweeneely can't win with some people. If he had stood Pat with the centers, like the season before, it would have been serious raggin' time down on the HF farm.

We are not in agreement, AAV, is bad, as is the term, and term with age, is awful, AAV, term, talent, age = bad signing.

Dom wrote that there were talks with Verbeek. So who does the Ducks have we would realistically be interested in?

Troy Terry - 7M
Killorn - 6.25M (also 35, signed until he's 38 = can't see this one)
Zegras - 5.75M
R Strome - 5M
Fabbri - 4M (UFA after this season)
Vatrano - 3.65M (just signed a new deal, don't think he's dealt anymore)
Gauthier - RFA
Carlsson - RFA
McTavish - RFA

Doubt Anaheim want to move their young RFA's.
So Terry, Zegras, Strome, Fabbri are the only players that may make sense.

They are not going to turn around and trade Ryan Leonard.

They're well aware of what they have in the player.

By the way, Washington is a club that has successfully quote retooled more or less on the fly, and it appears to have worked.

Why don't we get GM's like that?

I agree 99% that they wouldn’t do it….but it would be very similar to other deals that quasi-contenders have made in the past.

I mean Iginla/Nieuwendyk and Thompson/ROR are very close to what Washington would be doing.

Again, every year several teams have the chance to do it and don’t, but in this case one driving factor might be Ovi’s age and the surprising position the Caps find themselves in.

If SJ can get a first for what they gave away, i can imagine what the Bs would get for Frederick or Carlo or Marchand.

Granlund has more points that all of those guys. That's how much of a one-player team the Bruins currently are.

After watching the Rangers game yesterday i'm 110% sure Bruins should not trade for Kreider. Man he is bad at hockey.

Agreed. Just feels like a Bruin thing to do.

He's a big part of that team and its success.

Dealing him makes no sense whatever. They have money coming out of their backside. They can certainly afford to pay him.

Tavaris is another matter.

It's all about cap space & the NHL made that happen so I would say yes they get him locked up over summer.Far as Tavares , I read somewhere they are trying to work out something but who knows.

0T: I used to like him, but I hate Ovechkin.

That's another matter. Considering the zoo that is Toronto media and fans.

But I suspect Craig Berube and his culture change will compel them to stick around.

If they are smart, ownership will allow Berube the time and latitude to complete that culture change.

To me it's been quite impressive thus far.

They finally have a chance to win, because the culture emphasizes winning rather than individual statistics. And individual stars.

Imagine that.

Lettieri and Poitras to Providence. The latter I am sure is a paper transaction
