I'd be shocked if Dubas didn't try to pick him up. Only for Mike Sullivan to make Nick quit hockey.
Eller went for a 2nd when he wasn't even playing as well as he has for the Pens vs the Caps the year he was moved to the Avs. A very good 3c that is a fantastic penalty killer that is reliable in his role could definitely fetch that.I bet they would

He quite literally did a few years ago and like I said, he's better now than he was when he did fetch a 2nd for the Caps.
Imagine saying a bloke that went for a 2nd when he wasn't as good as he is right now, couldn't go for a 2nd to a contender again, lol.
"I bet they would"Where did I say he couldn't get a 2nd?
I challenge you to show me where I said he couldn't get a 2nd.
You'll fail because I never said that.
I wouldn't pay it.
I'd rather pay more for a Brock Nelson or Yanni Groude
But chances are he could get it.
"I bet they would"
You understand what that insinuates, right? That implies we wish we could get a 2nd for him in this instance. Maybe choose your words better next time rather than flipping out that your comment didn't mean that, when a comment like that, is used exactly like that when uttered.
I'm sure you do.Who is flipping out? I corrected you because you were wrong.
It's OK that you were wrong but you were wrong
So in this scenario they're letting their second/third best player walk for nothing, that sounds like a much better situation to be inNot going anywhere with Patches going down last night. That does not look like an injury that he is coming back from anytime soon. As for him being offersheeted in the summer and the Leafs "not affording him" for 1.6 million is laughable. They will have 30 million in cap space with 3 ELC contracts on prospects that will be pushing into the line up.
How are they letting their 2/3rd best player walk?So in this scenario they're letting their second/third best player walk for nothing, that sounds like a much better situation to be in
Where do you think the 30 million in cap space comes fromHow are they letting their 2/3rd best player walk?
IF you are talking about Marner he is not going to cost 30 million. he costs around 12 million. That puts the Leafs at 8 forwards (Knies is 9 for say 5 million) That leaves around 13 million left. They will have 9 forwards signed, 6 defenceman signed and 2 goalies. After that put aside 2.7 million for ELC's that leaves them around 10 million to spend on a 7th D, 3C and one more forward. That is without any trades we konw are going to happen.Where do you think the 30 million in cap space comes from
Nobody offersheeted him when he was coming off a 20 goal paced season, why would they do it now assuming he continues to struggle?Roster crunch is coming when Jarnkrok returns and at this point he's likely to get offersheeted at a number the Leafs will neither match or receive compensation for. They should use him in a package to get a 3C, that's their biggest glaring hole
I've never seen so much pity in one picture.
he just got the player of the game belt last night.
He's not putting up points but he's not playing bad. No need to move him at this point, Jarnkrok isn't close to returning
Leafs fans are overestimating his value. Every team has a guy like this.
Leafs are welcome to shop around and see if they can get a 3C as good or better for less.I bet they would

OkayI'd rather pay more for Yanni Groude or Brock Nelson.
There is a Price I'd pay for Eller but It's not a 2nd
An offer sheet that costs a team zero compensation? It's a free young player with 20 goal upside. I think a team could offer him like 1x1.6 and Toronto won't be able to comfortably match that
