GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2022

Damn White would have been good.. Florida loves reclamations, he will thrive there

Easily, because to beat Edmonton's offer you have to go either go higher in AAV or longer in term.

That's 100% a non-starter.

I'm not sure about that. If we were correctly informed the club never made him an offer close to $4.5M. I don't think you need to necessarily outbid the market to keep your player, so long as he likes it there and you don't lowball. And if they did their math and knew Murray was $4.6M after retention maybe that offer is enough to keep him from even going to market. We'll never know.

I do agree being married to Jack long term is its own risk though. 5 x 5 is a big commitment to a player who was only a #1 for a single season and fell apart half way through. Edmonton has a kid they think might be ready to be a backup so they can maybe handle a bit more risk.

Of course TSN showing Kadri scoring on the Leafs.
Perfect troll job

Adam Gaudette to the leafs! I like this

 

[thinkblue]

Leafs get adam gaudette

 

[Warden of the North]

That Mikheyev price is gross.

Vancouver continues the trend of vastly overpaying middle 6 players to huge deals

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Adam Gaudette to Toronto...

 

[OVO16]

Deslauriers or Zach Aston Reese please.

Kubel was a good start to re-shape the 4th line

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Mik at 4.75m x 4 is a bad contract. Glad we didn't sign that.

 

[Schenn]

Gaudette? Blah

 

[OVO16]

Adam Guadette? Wtf.

Whats his game like

 

[hamzarocks]

Gaudette probably a AHL signing. Not good option for the NHL

 

[Macallan18]

are you expecting guys like mikheyev to do what matthews/marner/nylander/taveres should be doing?

lol no, but expect them to do more than disappear in key moments. And get massive term and dollars for being "speedy" lol

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Deslauriers or Zach Aston Reese please.

Kubel was a good start to re-shape the 4th line

Speed, attitude, tenaicty. Love it. Enough of the sunset players.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Adam Guadette? Wtf.

Whats his game like

two way gamer...but i think he was inconsistent and iirc people said he was not put in the best circumstances? I dont know

 

[McSnypsky]

It'll be fun to watch Van vs Edm games just for Mik outpacing McJesus!

 

[kb]

$2.75 for Lyubushkin isn’t expensive. You just can’t look at overall league salaries with the Toronto budget lens.

He's a bottom pairing D being paid like a low end #4 who wasn't on the PP or PK.

Literally cannot defend and is a one trick pony - who takes himself out of position often trying fort that one trick.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I wanted the other Hypenated name player...Aka Ashton-Reese

 

[Nooodles]

Gaudette had 33 points in 59 games 2yrs ago

 

[Fogelhund]

Adam Gaudette to Toronto... Marlies

Fixed

 

[All Mod Cons]

That's the one I wanted. Cannot believe it.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Fixed

True true lmao

Wonder who will land Marchment

 

[Nylander88]

Malgin could be an option on RW if Simmonds is not.

Need out bottom 6 to be hard to play against imo. Aube-Kubel was a good step. ZAR should hopefully be next. Malgin is a small skill guy who doesn't throw the body at all and won't be on our PK. Not at all what we want or need imo

 

[Ziggdiezan]

What a time/transition...having burns, marleau, thornton, karlson and what not to whatever this transition is going on to be.

Ya weird seeing the final piece of that original SJ core getting traded away
