New GM, New Trades and Signings Thread

Dubas did sign Simmonds twice and traded for Clifford twice and gave him a multi-year contract. Didn't take Treliving long to top some of Dubas' worst moves though (assuming reports are true)

Revised Rules for 35+ Contracts | Puckpedia

The rules for 35+ contracts changed in the 2020 CBA MOU. Now, a contract is not considered "35+" if: -total compensation either stays the same or increases from one year to the subsequent year -there are no signing bonuses after Year 1 If those criteria are met, the contract is not considered...

Cap hit will go down by a helpful 100k

Yuck.

 

[Cleetus]

I refuse to believe that the Leafs will sign Reaves. I think I'll be right.

lol I expect the announcement at noon Tomorrow

 

[Jozay]

Multi year too, Big Bad Brad is on a roll!

It does say that only deals that have a signing bonus in year 2 or are front loaded apply to prevent teams from backloading these deals. Hopefully Pridham can step in and save Treliving from making this even more stupid than it needs to be

Let's hope Knies and Robertson provide close to that as well.

I'm confident they'll target someone in free agency to add more goals.

I think Matty Knies is our new shinny 20 goal man in the top 6.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

He’s entertaining and may loosen the core. Why not? There’s no downside.

How much looser can this core possibly get? lol

 

[Cleetus]

someone has to close the Street so Brad cant deliver the paperwork to Reaves lol

Representation and diversity

Do they want to represent non-hockey players on their roster?

Darts and tall boys starting at 9am tomorrow, let's get after it boys

 

[BallardEra]

Heading to bed. Hoping to wake up tomorrow and find out that Reaves is signing with any team other than the Leafs.

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

What about Yamamoto?

Put him on the 3rd line RW and use Jarnkrok, Knies and Robertson on the LW

Get a good 3rd line center like ROR or Duchene and get some insurance like Brown I think we would be pretty solid up front

Are you trying to build a lottery team. That's what I get when this wing setup follows trading nylander ideas

You never know maybe a Daniel Sprong in on the way tomorrow formerly of the Kraken.

And, who will be the core if they ever become a contender? Make no mistake, Revo is well past his prime and can’t play for a contender, but the Leafs are expected to have a couple of more down years, so why not add a few entertainers. He’ll long gone if they ever turn the corner.

How about fire the president.. Shanny is calling the shots for sure

Did we fire the wrong guy?

That multi year better be at league minimum.

Even at league min, it's terrible. It was bad for even a year. For multiple years?

I wonder if Brad is aware of this rule, because candidly I was quite keen on this signing initially but if that's how it works he's just burning cap-space here, particularly in year 2 of this deal.

If he's this desperate, just give Simmonds 2 years and be the 14th forward. It's bad either way but at least he knows the team. Plus Keefe won't overplay Simmonds while Reaves I think Keefe might.

Pridham is absolutely aware of this rule...or should be

 

[Leafs87]

Reaves would be great for this team tbh

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Pagnotta is trolling. He has to be, right? Please????

 

[stickty111]

All you idiots who were begging for Dubas to be fired are going to look very stupid, very soon.

Still early man

 

[Menzinger]

I don't know what we can do until Nylander gets sorted out

That's 7M in cap space and the return you would get for him

That's a massive difference in how you would navigate free agency

Also we can't own rental rental him, we just can't

I think what'll happen is management will continue to prioritize an extension and if they have to trade him in an few weeks/couple months they'll just frame any deal within the confines of that 7 mil cap in/out

Nothing in the media suggests they're trying to rush through things

Dubas stinks. It's an "and" with Shanahan, not an "or".

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Just because Dubas deserved to be fired doesn't mean Treliving deserved to be hired. There's more than 2 options

Keep in mind you can overspend the Salary hard cap of $83,500,000 by 10% in the off-season That means $8.35 mil and with Willy making $7 mil that doesn't prevent the Leafs from finding his replacement or another high-end roster player first and then deal him afterwards if contract talks go south. .
