Raymond from Detroit? No way the wings move him for Marner...not a chance.
I was sold on Lindholm when he was able to stop Nylander rushing down the wing.

Literally 0 dmen were able to do that all season long. When Nylander decides he's putting on the jets on that open lane, you just have to cross your fingers your goalie makes the save.
Lindholm not only kept up with him but stopped the power cut to the inside.
Still in shock at the reaction this place had at the thought of Dubas making a push for him at the TDL. Bombarded with "The D is flawless, we don't need"
I am not sure about MM being a lock in Four Nations.

Just about every mock you can find except Sportsnet, has him as a lock to make Team Canada.
Wow really. Giving the Leafs 88 mil is cheat code level. Make it count Tre.
Didnt they project a little more than that at the ASG? I thought it was 88.5 or 89.5.
That’s good.
Marchand and Crosby need a RW and I think he’d be a great fit. There’s not a game situation they couldn't play in.
I think he's perfect for the tournament - it will be a friendly, low-intensity bit of meaningless fun where he'll be on a stacked team.
I think they had to because Matthews hit open market someone would of overpaid the same for Nylander. At least cap went up to 3.5 million now they can resign Liljegren+Robertson etc. Bertuzzi and Domi not sure if both will re-sign or not and then comes what do for goaltending. Woll will be back and the starter goalie is up in the air at this point. It could be through trade or free agency.
Are they being paid for this tourney ……..asking for a friend
Willy and Matthews new contracts will eat all of the cap increase so at best we won’t be upside down on that deal but certainly no further ahead
NHLPA gets paid, and the league portion probably gets included as hockey revenue (= eventual cap increase). Players get daily Burger King coupons.
Kind of a back door payment so it’s 50-50 that he shows up to play hard
Of the total increase in cap 6.2M is already gone to Matthews and Nylander raises. We have 18.8M in cap space for next season to fill out at minimum (XXX) given players already under contract.

RFAs: Robertson,
RFAs with Arb rights: Liljegren, Dewar, Gregor
At minimum we need to fill XXX (2)
Of the total 18.8 If we spend about 5M on RFAs (just spit balling here)
Robertson(1.5), Liljegren (2 to 2.5), Dewar (1.2 to 1.5) let Gregor walk; we are looking at the range of (4.7M to 5.5M) then if you want to give one or both of Cowan/Minten thats additional 2M (approx.) -> 18.8 - 5M - 2 = 11.8M
Basically you got 11.8M to spend in UFAs where we need based on priority at least for me:
1. Goalie
2. Top4D (targets: Pesce, DeMelo, Montour) -> if can't do that then Boosh I suppose
3. At least ONE top6 winger (Targets at least for me: Domi, Bert, Toffoli; and Lindholm if we can dump Marner)
4. At least one bottom6 winger for PK
5. Depth D-men (I really wanna bring back Edmundson but not at a crazy cap though...)
If we dump Marner thats immediately 11M in cap space where this love could be spread around. If not, at least gotta find a way to move on from Jankrok that would give additional 2.1M AAV for a total of 11.8+2.1 = 13.9 (round it to 14M) to spend.
If we dump Marner in addition to Jankrok we will have 14+11 = 25M to spend to round out the roster.
if we can dump marner and trade Jankrok, Kampf then...

Just need to figure out what we can target for a goalie.
Then when Tavares is off the cap we can worry about 3C and another roster structural change
This is so true and anyone that doesn’t understand this has no idea how building a proper team works
Not too much of an overpay for the two best players. The problem is much more the other two.
I think da reason they do it is because of the corporate suits who are going for free for wine and cheese .. most know little to nothing about hockey but bring a customer and like to be entertained with goals .. so Leafs bring that to them .. and they keep coming back .. most of us hockey guys who sit up in upper deck don't care about names on back of jerseys but want team to play winning playoff type hockey .. which requires a different roster and CAP pay construction .. i think 4 nations thing is a new name because Russia is out this time around
