The guy is turning 35 this year, is 8 years actually a factor here lol.
I suspect that the title of that thread is misleading. I think it was more LeBrun speculating that with the signing of Saros that the Preds might want to deal Askarov at some point. I suspect he is not really available unless the deal is to hard to turn down. Now going forward things could change.
Perry was exposed against Vancouver's speed and shined against Dallas's slow meandering unphysical game. We should definitely let Perry move on.
No we need to keep Ceci. We made it to game 7 with him /s
Tanev is nothing. He will do nothing but slow down the leafs D and sit on LTIR.
I thought as long as you have their rights it can be 8 years?
The problem is that a true Vezina quality goalie is going to cost you $8M or more if not now or as soon as their deal is up. So you can't add one unless you are willing to subtract a key piece somewhere else.
We don’t but I would rather have VD at 1.5 then Ceci at 3.25. Of course we could go after someone else but its going to be hard to find much better at 1-1.5. Depth dman especially RD tend to get paid more than you want.
I’m guessing you have the guy I was responding to on ignore. He was arguing that Demko being hurt had no effect on the series.
I mean we were down 0-3 though, that is something that shouldn't be ignored.
We can do this without getting rid of Nurse.
Leafs need puck moving D so bad. They tried the "big, physical, no puck skills" approach last year on D and that worked out poorly for them.
We should be able to add a legit top 4 d with the cap of Ceci and Kulak. They probably being back Desharnais till the deadline at least at that point.
That had a lot more to do with Edmonton not finishing their chances than it did Florida dominating them. Series easily should have been 2-1 either way after 3 games.
