Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | If Babcock is Our New Coach Will Players Want to Come Here?

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Holy overpay..

Not really, he's a UFA 70pts RHD, that's what that will get you.

 

[1981 Oilers]

Morgan Reilly just lost all his PP time

and rumour is he nixed a trade to a Western Conference team. Return will be now pennies on the dollar. Starting to wonder about this new upper management team in Toronto.

 

[MoontoScott]

Ungar's new one year deal is a good one for the club. It's also a 2 way contract which is an added bonus?

Question though--if he gets cut after training camp, is he waiver eligible or not?

It's been an issue since 1967.

Leafs are stuck in an awkward spot where they need to take risks. They cant rebuild because their next 2 1sts are unprotected and gone.

Theres still a lot of concerns for that roster. You cant expect a big rookie season from McKenna. Your 1C is often injured. Your 2C is more of a 3C at this point in his career.

I expect they'll go hard after Jenner and Tuch

True, need to make a splash to excite fans that next season isn't going to be a writeoff and just a development season for McKenna.

Hopefully they keep handing out more top dollar long term deals to 30+ guys that take them to near 40

There was no way a player with not even a whole lot of AHL-experience was going to get anything but a two-way deal.

Ungar has at least another two years of waiver exemption left, unless he plays 60 NHL games prior to that.

He will probably end up on San Jose’s 1st PP

Reports were that Tampa was offering $5M. I guess they did not have a good feel for what the player actually brings to the table.

Paying guys at 30 based off 1 good season is exactly how you get contracts you regret.

Yeah exactly. I think Walman is a good comparable and he's better than Walman albeit a little older.
I'd love to poke fun at the Leafs but I don't think this is a bad risk for them.

Walmans contract is a prime example why you don’t do what they just did. It looks like a disaster already.

But when you are dealing with GM Stan, assume nothing.

I’m not sure about the contract but the Leafs needed to upgrade their defense and there’s not a lot available d wise.

They got one of the better options but I don’t think this contract is going to age well.

I still think a healthy Walman can help us.

Hopefully the off season will help him get healthy.

Based of 1 season? Hell be lucky to put up 50 pts again and at 30 its about to go down hill for the majority of that contract

It usually seems that Gms in the NHL are oblivious to previous examples and other teams mistakes.

Make the salary cap 200M per year and in a few seasons there will be teams that top out.

They definitely put the I in Incompetent. Chayka already had some baggage from his previous GM stint in Arizona and Toronto still hires him. Not sure if Hillier was the right hire either. But wtf do I know, I'm just an armchair GM trying to get hired by the Oilers and they wont even hire me. Go figure

 

[popo]

With Carlson, Gudas, and Trouba all possibly not returning to the Ducks you worry they will make an offer on Connor Murphy.

If we can't retain he we might run with a defense worse than anything we've iced for a number of seasons.

Haha-- that's alright, every one of us on these threads are armchair GMs---its just that the pay is quite a bit less than the real thing.

 

[Louis Cypher]

No to Binnington.

 

[Canovin]

So much hate for Raddysh haha. That's a good deal. I'd take that deal over Walman

That's why Stan needs to be patient with Nurse. Murphy maybe asking already who am I playing with if you are trading Nurse.

 

[Hockeylife2018]

No to Binnington.

Why trade assets for an established starter when we can continue to pay assets for starters on a downward trend and hope our lack of defensive systems will hide it!

The Walman contract is also dog shit so that’s not really saying anything.
