New GM, New Trades and Signings Thread

[myleafs]

Simmonds broke down because he was small for the style he played. Constantly have to over-work to keep up with bigger guys is hard.

Simmonds knows how to fight but he isnt that big...Reaves has got about 40 pounds on him. Big difference.

 

[Rob Brown]

Lol so we’re just doing nothing of substance eh

 

[JKG33]

Good riddance

 

[CelticDruid]

yes, Trotz was better at selling Nashville than Treliving was at selling Toronto. It's really that simple.

Taxes and lifestyle!

Ludicrous statement!

 

[TMLegend]

Nylander for Pesce wouldn't be the worst

It would the equivalent of trading Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson. Terrible.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Orlov almost 8 AAV but only for 2 years with the Canes

thats interesting

You can do things like that when you've got cap space.

 

[Torontonian]

Lol so we’re just doing nothing of substance eh

We are a hour a half into free agency, with the main forwards still not signed, add into FA wanting to make money, it doesn't surprise me one bit it's slower.

 

[Buds17]

I would have done 4-5 years at a 6M AAV... but hey, maybe he prefers a little more now

I liked the idea of 4 years at 6ish per.

Back to market at 33? We'll see.

 

[JKG33]

This will help solve our scoring problems, right?

If Matthews and Marner can't carry the load at their current AAVs, let alone the next AAVs they're going to demand? Maybe they shouldn't be so overpaid and this team could get more offense

 

[socko]

Nylander for Pesce wouldn't be the worst

That actually probably would be the worst. Pesce is so overrated on this board. Can't quite figure it out. He's like a number 4 D on his good days.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

He’s gonna have way more fun and get away with a lot more in quiet Carolina. Especially since Carolina is a darling of the NHL.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Carolina's front office is far ahead of ours it's not even funny

 

[Menzinger]

Guys and agents waiting for the expected cap spike next year and offseason

 

[Bellefour20]

Twitter is down?!

 

[stickty111]

They could use a player like him.

Larsson is better player now.

 

[JKG33]

It's a 1yr contract for a 1yr contract. Pesce is super underrated. Nylander is super overrated. Makes the Leafs a better playoff team, so I'm not surprised some of you are against it

 

[Menzinger]

Carolina's front office is far ahead of ours it's not even funny

Probably have a top 2-3 front office group, easily.

 

[Cleetus]

ROR did not want to sign with the leafs? interesting

 

[PromisedLand]

Apparently Leafs has engaged Bunting in the morning

Why I don't know

OH HELL NO!

bunting is not what we need ffs.

 

[thinkblue]

Pacioretty to washington 1yr x 2m

 

[TheDoldrums]

Carolina's front office is far ahead of ours it's not even funny

Remember when some of us were hoping for Tulsky as GM? This is why.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Carolina loading up. Curious what the amount is. I assume Pesce is likely gone

Pacioretty to washington 1yr x 2m

that would have been nice

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Probably have a top 2-3 front office group, easily.

Probably should have gone after Tulsky instead of just hiring the first dude Shanahan thought of

 

[Cleetus]

Patches to the caps 1 yr 2million with bonuses
