Less than 1 month until TDL

No, it really isn't. You're grasping at straws.

No it's debatable. Kerfoot is a better fit on the roster.

 

[Confucius]

There will be no deals, I left word.

We're under the ACSL now so we're accruing some cap space today but not much: $5821.20 per day with our sum amounting to be effectively multiplied by 116/(days remaining in season which is currently at 53) so 218% ish

The team has a .866 save percentage over the last 6 games, it's pretty obvious to me what needs to be addressed.

They're just in a rut/slumping.

What was their save% in the preceding six games?

Is goalie John Gibson available ?

Vesey and Barabanov were being brought in to help replace the so called depth lost by trading Kapanen and AJ last summer.

Now apparently we're looking for a top 6/7 forward upgrade at the trade deadline and willing to trade picks and prospects if need be to by cap space.

Lets see if I'm following this Leafs circular logic here.

Step #1) Trade Marleau's contract with 1st round pick to create cap space to re-sign Kapanen.

Step #2) Trade Kapanen for re-acquiring a 1st (Rodion Amirov) to create cap space again, since the previous one didn't have the desired effect.

Step #3) Trade Amirov (former 1st) & or picks away as needed to create new TD free cap space to bring in a top 6/7 forward to try and replace Kapanen, because off-season UFA signings failed to address this.

Is anybody else getting dizzy as we seem to be going round in circles here?

Thornton, a guy on pace for 50ish points likely seen as a closer replacement guy than Barabanov.

And there's also the factor of time. Management likely wanted to hold onto Kap a couple offseasons ago to see if developmental wise he took the next step. He didn't and so the next off-season they decided to maximize asset value

Around the league teams are in two groups

1) teams that are already strapped for cap
2) teams salivating on the cap strapped teams looking to make deals

clearly a sellers market; we gonna be screwed if we looking to make a move unless of course we luck out

I've seen a few media people suggest the opposite- that it's more a buyers than sellers market. Plenty of teams are apparently being directed not to add any payroll due to financial constraints

Has Freddy been slumping for 2 seasons then?

 

[cupcrazyman]

I'm just counting the seconds waiting on this week's deal Friedman predicted couple of week's ago

Kiss our 2nd Rounder good-bye

Goaltending is like putting
Some days you make everything, some days you make nothing.....it’s just life

Ideally this is what I'd realistically hope for (with the D Oleksiak deal coming later after the F deal if there's enough cap space, which there will be more of as the deadline gets closer):

Granlund/Rakell - Matthews - Marner
Thornton - Tavares - Nylander
Mikheyev - Engvall - Hyman
Simmonds - Kerfoot - Spezza or Kerfoot - Spezza - Simmonds.

Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Holl
Oleksiak - Bogosian
Dermott

Campbell
Andersen
