GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2022

[TopChedder]

I would love a Palat & Strome move.

Of course we would have to move some stuff out, and some kind of discount would probably be needed, but that would awesome.

 

[SprDaVE]

Hasn't been a LW deal that I would have been comfortable with.

This is how things should play out for the Leafs. Target some players, let them go if they want more money, wait for things to clear.

Niederreter is still right there if the Leafs want to get funky.

Sony Milano is also a free agent.

Tyler Motte could be alright. ZAR is still there.

Danton Heinen could fly under the radar.

 

[The Masters]

Watching Karate Kid. What did miss?

watch this one next

 

[Woodman19]

Everyone criticizing our big contracts need to look at what people are paying players who aren't in the same league in terms of talent. Is trading one of the big 3 to make room for a Chiarot type player a smart way to manage assets?

 

[Mess]

Players probably are.

"Hmmm, if I sign a one year deal with Toronto then next year ...."

Bunting is next to cash in next year.

Samsonov seems like his signing in predicated on him hoping for a big year and looking for a big raise with a big year.

Leaf players appear to leveraging their next contracts based on today's signings banking on exactly what you stated,

They price themselves out of Toronto market but into advantageous financial gains by moving on.

Mr. Miyagi cheated.

Who did he cheat with?

 

[al secord]

Mr. Miyagi cheated.

In fairness, he didn't know tournament rules. I blame the refs for allowing an illegal kick to the head.

 

[ER89]

Monkeypox?

hopefully with food positioning after he mixes sushi and burritos and pizza and alcohol after our parade next year

 

[djdev]

Every other team has taken a much more significant hit.

The Leafs will be ahead of the game just running it back - possibly with young additions.

And how can anyone say definitively that this is a more inconsistent goaltending duo than last season? Last season was literally a tale of 2 seasons, pre and post New Years.

its honestly about time we give our young players in the system some run as opposed to guys like clifford. im more than happy not signing free agents at theses prices and actually seeing what we have in house finally.

 

[Morgs]

Best & Worst deal today?

Best - Kulak 4x2.8
Worst - Gudbranson 4x4 or Chiarot 4x4.75

 

[keonsbitterness]

Who did he cheat with?

He cheated Al when he sold Arnold's.

I've always like Nino back since he was drafted by the Isles. Fits our needs almost immediately tbh...also when I used to watch the Dub. Would be really good to have but we need to make a trade to make it happen.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Based on what we’ve seen, Strome is probably going to get 3.5M+ and Palat 7M

 

[Gabriel426]

How do TB have cap space to sign and resign their players?

 

[1specter]

The Flyers really f***ed up firing Hextall. What an awful shortsighted move.

Cap space is a myth.

Letting Palat and McDonagh go.

Exactly. Sign some insurance, but let the kids have some room to run......

"Ellen is the star of the show." Truer words, James Duthie, truer words.

 

[rocketman588]

4.5 for lehkonin...

[notbias]

Is Marino available now?

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Kucherov to the LTIR....till april.

 

[rocketman588]

Knowing how insane the flyers are we could have probably made a run at hart
