Brad Treliving spent 8 million dollars on David Kampf, Ryan Reaves, and John Klingberg.

I don’t know how Treliving got such a respected reputation but he has sucked. For years.
I agree.
 
Feel like this Gudas contract is the Anaheim is tired of getting pushed around by the Coyotes signing. Curious to see if Anaheim actually takes a step.

They should. They were missing Drysdale pretty much all season which is a huge part of moving that blueline forward. McTavish will be on year two of playing in the top 6 and if they can just get even below average goaltending it will be a step forward. They wont be bottom 5.
 
Really didn’t like Boston’s moves yesterday. Yes, $3 million combined for Lucic, Shattenkirk, and JVR is “good value”, but there is a reason these guys were in the bargain bin. They’re all done.

Wheeler would have made so much more sense than JVR. Their blueline was one spot they were kind of set on.

I truly don't understand moving Hall before UFA only to sign bargain bin fodder

Fan reaction in Toronto is not good right now.
I actually like the Klingberg pick. I feel like he is due for a bounceback. Everything else has not looked great

Has anyone checked on @Jamieh? Is he ok? ;)
I was traveling all day yesterday. Not sure about the Klingberg deal??? Offence isn't exactly what is needed. I don't think Reeves can play but that dressing room needs a little more life, those guys are just too comfortable. At the end of the day so far they are not a better team and I don't see where they are getting the Cap to improve........so another decent regular season with high 5's for everyone and then the big boys go quiet in round 1 or 2 as usual.

Never mind.




 
Any time Toronto fans bitch about teams in no tax states, remind them that one of their strengths is they can offer big bonus contracts like they just did here with Bertuzzi.

Plus the Rangers have no problem getting players to sign...

If the goalie situation wasn't set it'd be worth taking something to bail them out on Murray.
Too much actual dollars. Murray is probably a better buyout candidate that a trade with incentives one.

No more dead deals
I think we may one or two more, just not quite so egregarious. BA is probably willing to do a deal but indicating he's out of that business allows him to only do such a deal if the price is to his liking. His phone was likely blowing up with shit offers.

I don't know how the Cap will work but this is a better Leaf team than finished this season if true imo. But still need defence??

Murray has to be getting shipped out eventually. That should fix the cap issue after the Domi signing. Defense will be suspect but I think fine.
