I assume the 1 guy back to defend is always Liljegren, right? Since he's a dynamic two way defensemen and all.

He was a steal
They got a guy who would have went #1-2 if not for mono at #17. Steal indeed.

"This is a young man who has outstanding hockey sense and outstanding skating ability. Once again, it's only potential, so we have to see how quickly he develops. But defencemen with his talent don't come along often."

The thread on the Leafs forum for this is great.
I especially like this comment:
Yeah, so easy to teach defensive awareness and hockey IQ.
That's why all young offensive defensemen are so easily turned into two-way defensemen.

Who is calling him a bust? It's just hilarious seeing stuff like this considering some were calling him the second coming of Orr.
How the F does that work? I mean, does that mean we are back to the 80s where only amateurs play in the Olympics. So did the IIHF issue the same ruling for the KHL or SEL? I dont mind as long as it is applied against all professional leagues.

bust was the wrong word. sorry.
just dont get the point getting worked up over mistakes made in a rookie scrimmage game. I am sure some of our rookies will make the same mistakes or mistakes with the puck. dont get mad when the main board notices it.

We are freaking joking. It's the Leafs. The prospect they have pushed down everyone's throat all summer as the steal of the draft. The most obnoxious fanbase ever. My goodness.
We should trade for him while his value is low. Who wouldn't want next Erik Karlsson.
Think Nolan Patrick would do it, or we have to throw in Gudas?

Just another example that bridge deals are dead. More evidence that our precious cap space and future should not include Wayne Simmonds. We have tons of young talent and will need to pay for it.

I think an apparent talking point for the next CBA might be a one time player/team option to re-do a contract through an arbitrator.
Have you seen how much capspace do we have? We literally just took two 5 mil capdumps in a trades and still have plenty of cap to spare. We will have plenty enough to resign Simmer. I just hope we give him higher AAV over term, kinda like Blues did with Steen and Stastny. I'm not interested to sign Oshie/Gaborik type of deal.

Ok, now run those numbers 3 years into Simmonds deal. How are we looking then? Not so great.

3 seasons from now, entering year 2 in Simmonds's new contract, if all goes well (and I don't think this is especially rosy predicting) we could be looking at:
Provorov ELC --> $5.75-6 mil
Konecny ELC --> $4-4.5 mil
Patrick ELC --> $6-6.25 mil
Sanheim ELC --> $4.5 mil
Lindblom ELC --> $4.5-5 mil
One of Hagg/Morin ELC --> $2 mil (probable bridge, not a real concern tbh)
Myers who knows what could happen. Could be another potential long-term contract. Gudas's contract ends. Does he get a similar one? I don't want to write him off like some. I want to see what Weal does this year. There are a couple other prospects, though more shorter term depth signings. But that's only entering year 2, and our pool doesn't end there.
