It's so unnatural seeing Dubas talking into only one phone.

 

[Malachi Crunch]

Brady Cleveland goes 47th.

I got a bit of shit yesterday for mentioning him as a trade down (late 60s) option.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

So boring because we have no picks, and little cap flexibility. Thanks Dubas.

 

[Stand Witness]

Man i dont know if we should expect anything for a leaf trade at this point. Players just being given away for free

 

[Leaf Rocket]

wow thats quite a trade

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Uh, no they don't lol I don't know what to tell you. They quite literally have 17 players under contract. Roster sizes are 23.

Go look at their Cap friendly they have 6 UFA forwards, 3 UFA D and Samsonov is an RFA that's 10 free agents, that means they have 10 holes to fill.

It's not a hard concept

 

[Mess]

gauthier is a very much a bolts type team

He is the guy I had peg for our Leafs at #28.

Just because there's a lot of pending UFAs it doesn't mean they have to replace them 1 for 1. They were over the 23 roster size.

They will likely sign a few depth players for the Marlies but I'm not sure anyone really cares about that. Every team does. The important thing is that the NHL roster only really needs a couple players. If you disagree and still think they need to 10 NHL players, then have your fill.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

I don't see a clear path to us moving enough cap to add anyone in UFA to make a difference on this Roster. It looks like a depressing run it back year with the same personnel that have failed over and over again.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I kind of wish we could've gotten Kostin, not a fan of yamamoto but i like that guy.

Ah well its to clear space to sign Justin Holl, Kerfoot or Brown

 

[al secord]

Bob Sacamano being thrown in for future considerations. How the mighty have fallen.

 

[supermann_98]

I don't think anyone wants Jarnkrok and/or Lafferty

Maybe Doobas

 

[SprDaVE]

Literally given away.

They have 12M of cap space. This isn't on Dubas lol

Probably.

 

[LeafGrief]

Red Wings draft a goalie, 6'2 and then 6'4 defenseman in the second round. God damn I love how Stevie Y builds a team. Although he conducted the fatal sin of passing on Debrincat with early seconds, so he really ain't shit if this board is my authority.

 

[Schenn]

Somehow aquiring a pick and getting Nick Lardis would be cool.

12 mill of cap space and how many roster spots to fill ? I can't help but think your being disingenuous.

 

[supermann_98]

Didn't Oiler fans compare this kid to Marner or some shi? Lol

 

[SprDaVE]

Am I? I'm looking at the NHL Roster right now. Maybe 3 big holes to fill? Make it 4 with re-signing Samsonov.

Oh right I forgot, the entire NHL squad needs to be changed on a dime.

 

[Nineteen67]

Felix Unger that’s an Odd pick …

 

[tmlms13]

6'6, 214 lb player Clara selected

Had to look again for a second, Zdeno Chara's kid?

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Heidt taken by Minnesota.
