New GM, New Trades and Signings Thread

[Buds17]

Fairly good contract for ROR (a touch more term to bring the AAV down a tad). He's going to get a great (better?) opportunity playing C for NSH. Trotz apparently scouting the Leafs extensively!

 

[cyris]

4 x4.5. Disappointed the Leafs couldn't match that. This off-season has been a train wreck so far.

But if we had signed him to that deal we might not have been able to afford that beautiful Reeves contract

Where is Erik Karlsson going? Edmonton, Ottawa or Los Angeles Kings?

Carolina sounds like a big possibility.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

In the 2018 Finals, Wilson knocked Marchessault out while Reaves was on the bench, and Washington went on to win in 5. It was only months later in the regular season that Reaves got “revenge” by knocking down Wilson and laughed in his face.

I guess the plan is for the Leafs to sick Reaves on Bennett or whoever else wrongs us but he’s going to be a non-factor in the playoffs.

Somebody save Mike Johnson from these morons

I kind of wouldn't of minded that ROR deal. Let's see what we have cooking if anything. JVR to Boston at that price is a great deal for them.

I wouldn't mind to get JVR for one mil just to put him on the PP.

Schenn was a great partner, but I don't know if I'd take the risk of 3 million per year for him to continue that.

The playoffs were great, but small sample size, it's risky.

It's not a small sample size. If you'd watch Vancouver you'd know he was just as great with Hughes during both his stints there

 

[Hellcat]

Awww, another reactionary crybaby. Make sure to drink water today. Dehydration is a bitch

I was actually giving you a kudos not busting your balls, there is only room for one old cranky bastard here and that's me... get yourself together..

Button was more logical than the rest of the panel... shocking

 

[robertmac43]

Kampf + Reeves + 800k or ROR?

 

[tmlfan98]

I know some will disagree with this due to his age, but for 4 years I would have offered ROR up to 6M per. I hope Trev didn't lowball this negotiation.

 

[Mess]

It’s funny how Schenn won 2x Stanley Cups and was still a sub million player. Has a good couple months in Toronto and he’s getting nearly $9 million.

Was just about to post the same thing..

Leafs weak defense core at present allowed Luke Schenn to end up on the top pairing beside Rielly and look really good in 11 playoff games with 1 assist and parlayed that into a 3 year deal @ $2.75 mil.

Luke Schenn is a great guy but a 3rd pairing guy like he was in TB during their Cup runs and you can't pay 3rd pairing guys that amount to be successful.

Acciari got eliminated in 2nd roudn and still led the playoffs in hits
Dude is the player we need

A lot of the time, MJ is the one with common sense

Fake news. We lead HFBoards in Cranky Bastards / 60.

Great and 3 million great are different things. I know Schenn was good with Hughes, but 3 million is a lot to gamble on a 6/7D playing like a top 4 for 3 years. Reminds me of Holl working with a specific partner really well until he didn't.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Apparently Craig Button showed up with a brain today too. Ha

Button usually vouches for skill, his issue is that he more often looks like he got dressed in the dark.

 

[leafsfan5]

Sheary is a great pickup for TB, was hoping we’d get him so of course they do

 

[JKG33]

It's $3m for a #4 d-man. That's a bargain

 

[Mess]

ROR to Nashville - 4x 4.5

Was my favourite current Leaf and Leafs gave up a 1st, 2nd, 3rd to acquire him.

 

[fahad203]

Kampf + Reeves + 800k or ROR?

ROR was done. Dude brought nothing
You can make that argument about a lot of players

You still need role players, you still need numbers in bodies

Reaves is not going to be good. He's essentially replacing in Simmonds
Next year he'll be with Marlies taking Clifford's spot

 

[mcleex]

Is Trileving managing the Leafs or his dad's Boston Pizza

Garbage offseason so far

 

[ErnieLeafs]

I’m feelin spicy. Context lost in text. Tip’o the cap. Gotta keep the head up around here

 

[al secord]

The thing is though, would ROR and Schenn even want to come back?

A couple of good ol' boys, I'd be on the first plane outta this media market and country too. Nashville is a dream for an NHL player

Mom's got yer meatloaf waiting upstairs

 

[notbias]

We could have gotten McCleod for 150k more probably....

It's $3m for a #4 d-man. That's a bargain

If he continues his play, I am saying it is a gamble.

Holl was a top 4 D with Muzzin too.
