Our season ended on May 18th, it’s June 24th and we’re still sitting here with literally nothing.

Can someone let Treliving know he needs to work?

 

[weems]

Biz thinks we're signing Marchand based on some source.

Not sure if he has any sources but I think he did call the Berube hiring before really anyone else.

NHL has the draft this week and free agency starts in a week.

A lot of trades will start to pick up closer to Friday or on Friday.

Vegas is absolutely ruthless. Hilarious that other teams continue doing them favours too.

Panicking when it's not even draft day is totally unnecessary.

4 x 9 seems like a terrible deal.

 

[The Shadow]

4 x 9 seems like a terrible deal.

I don’t think so. He will be exactly what the organization needs. Despite the fact that I don’t think we can win Tre will keep trying. We are paying Reeves, Kampf, Jarnkrok and Domi basically that much. And Marchand will make more of an impact than all of them combined.

You never know Florida could have an off year.

t's tough to say on how any player ages or how well they are going to be, but suddenly Marchand at age 37 has a resurgence in the playoffs and was dominate. Elite players generally tend to be good/elite for a long time.

They could...

However, I think you would want the core to be around the age Matthews and Nylander are now, if you look at the ages of the top players from past Cup winners.

Yes, half the team's in the division have been bad, but on the flip side the Atlantic the past 7/8 years has been the hardest division. Tampa, Florida, Boston, Toronto have all pretty much been dominate.

With Florida in that group, it's only been about four years since they had their 120-point season, if we're being specific.

If its not Carolina, I think it may be Montreal

3 team list for Hertl to be traded to.
I’d be extremely surprised if any Canadian teams were on that list.

whats the plan?

 

[Rare Jewel]

4 x 9 seems like a terrible deal.

If it's straight $9m, yeah..

If it's bonus dependent, then it's more palatable.

 

[ACC1224]

What's the difference, wouldn't it still be 9 against the cap?

Who's plan?

who's on first

 

[Rare Jewel]

You would kick the bonus money to the next year in overages, and with the cap going up, it would be less of a strain.

Also, if he doesn't achieve the bonus, for whatever reason, the cap hit will hopefully be less of an issue because if it's an injury issue, I don't think we can bury him on LTIR, given that he signed over the age of 35.

 

[Torontonian]

Uhh no. They've been squarely in their prime for a long time, and are closer to exiting their primes than entering them.

Don't let me get in the way of your optimism though - by all means feel that way.

Really? I'd beg to differ. I'd say age 27-33 is their prime window. Know the league, know how to play both ends of the ice. Stronger etc.

Hard for a young player in the league to be a dominate two way force.

 

[JKG33]

What's the difference, wouldn't it still be 9 against the cap?

If its a performance bonus it can be pushed to next season if the team is at the cap.

Also a performance bonus has to be achieved, so it might not actually be $9m

Thanks, admittedly I don't know much about the various cap rules.

Wouldn't Marchand have enough suitors that he wouldn't need to sign anything but a guaranteed contract?

Absolutely.

and it could be $9m flat here, too, which would be less than good IMO.

 

[TMLAM34]

9x4 would be awful for Marchand. If he wants 9 million per, no way I’m going past a 2 year commitment. This has all the makings of Marleau 2.0.

 

[Zero1]

How are the Leafs not in on Hertl??

$9 mill AAV for Marchand over 4 years??

Wtf is Brad doing? If the Canes get him for nothing then I’m on the fire Treviling wagon.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

You know which player i would love but we wont get....Quinton Byfield.

3 team player list that Hertl can get traded too. If Toronto isn't on that list, what can you do... If Toronto is on that list, then they most definitely should be kicking tires on him.

Also take the Marchand rumor with a grain of salt.
