New GM, New Trades and Signings Thread

[Kurtz]

Without a Matthews and nylander extension they don’t know how much cap space they are playing with in the future.

But we do know what both of those guys will be making next year so it shouldn't be a big issue. Every team has free agents in the future.

 

[al secord]

1 year 3 million and we can't bring a hometown guy back on that lol

He has no desire to come home until may/june

 

[Nylanderthal]

Tax-free state, wasn't really someone we were looking at it IMO.

They should be, he’s got speed skill and scoring ability. He can shift JT to the wing at times too

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Because of Leafs cap management strategies of top heavy spending on 4 forwards it becomes a Haves and Have Nots society.

Toronto simply becomes a short-term opportunity for players among the annual reshuffling of deck chairs of depth players that come in to help bump their next contract potential earnings and Leafs can't afford to keep them anyways. Its a constant musical chairs of bottom 6 and depth players where the core has proven time and time again they can't win and carry a team in the playoffs.

After the Leafs top 4 forwards their 5th highest paid forward is Kampf at $2.4 mil and he is considered overpaid to stay, and everyone from that done needs to be priced below them as dumpster diving and finding value in bargan bins to round out the roster.

That and we hired the guy who ran the organization everyone is fleeing from to run ours.

Takes two interested parties.

Doesn't he like a night out as well?

 

[ULF_55]

As exciting as the draft.

But I guess when you're loaded you don't need to rush into anything.

 

[leafsfan5]

I think its more along the lines nobody has interest in working with this core.

Cant blame Treliving when nobody is interested in coming short of an overpayment.

When you’ve got a guy like ROR expressing himself the way he has, red flags can go up across the league.

Just my opinion tho.

If Chuck is saying this we are genuinely f***ed

It just feels like a lot of fans have made up a story in their head and are willing to warp anything that happens to fit that story. But, as usual, I could be wrong.

This is totally a thing

 

[keonsbitterness]

We couldn't compete with the Texicans for $3m?

 

[TimeZone]

It's pretty much day 1. Give it a couple weeks before giving up.

Is it though? The crop is rapidly thinning out and I'm not particularly jumping for joy at the prospect of Brad swinging a blockbuster.

This is a pretty important day for a team with pathetic forward depth.

 

[Amadeus]

Toronto will always deliver when it comes to having the most underwhelming offseasons.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Ah, those few days of bliss after we beat Tampa were so nice. Of course this f***ing team had to ruin it by getting nearly swept in the next round.

 

[Dragao6]

1 year 3 million and we can't bring a hometown guy back on that lol

But we got kampf at 2.4 we’re good

 

[the real Fox mulder]

you know your team is in trouble if Ryan Reaves is the only player signing right now.

 

[Nylanderthal]

didn't feel that way for most of the Shanahan era

Guys care about who they play for and how they’re treated

 

[New User Name]

Feels like Toronto isn't a preferred destination for free agents to come to or stay.

I think ALL Canadian teams are in that boat.

Dude. David Kampf?

Plenty of options and avenues to take. Trades are also a thing. It's day 1. But yeah, seems like the clown before had a better handle on things eh?

I ain't sweating it.

Don't worry, Reaves will solve our scoring woes.

 

[Leafidelity]

Calling it now; we're going to sign Domi and call it a day.

The Hockey News will run a "Bash brothers" cover with Domi and Reeves back-to-back on it, spinning this like a good day.

 

[Cleetus]

anybody hear anything on Acciari?

I don't have faith in either.

I'm waiting for Zeke to come back and say we aren't making the playoffs. And provide the stats

 

[PromisedLand]

for the growth of the game, lets hope not.

are you going to be spending your money on that league while also maintaining other daily/regular life expenses?

 

[the real Fox mulder]

Dude. David Kampf?

My bad. You really know your team is in trouble if Ryan Reaves and David Kampf are the only player signing for us now.
