Confirmed with Link: Sandin signs 2 x 1.4

[notbias]

impossible, Dubas caves on every deal I was told.

Leafs probably put Lilly on LTIR then have a 20 man roster. They’ll probably push trading Holl later down the road and worry about it when Lilly is healthy. There could also be another injury to the D-core then too.

They’ll have just enough to give ZAR 750k-900k.

In this day in age we take private corporations as saints and critical thinking as conspiracy theoriests so no this doesn’t surprise me.

It's sad that so many "critical thinkers" nowadays don't realize that they're lapping up well funded corporate anti-government propaganda.

Lewis Gross is just a shitty shitty agent. Straight up. This guy always plays the same damn hold out card. The worst part is you really can't point to 1 guy on his entire rolodex of active players NHL Contracts by Agent Lewis Gross | Puckpedia that has signed an above market deal. Like wtf is the point?

Called it in the other thread lmao. Gross is a clown.

aha I think i figured it out.

if the Leafs trade Holl for picks, then they actually have room for 3 league minimum spots which would give them a 21 man roster instead of 20.

That would mean kids who make over 800k like robertson holmberg steeves etc. are in tougher to make the team.

Malgin would have an easier time making it. ZAR would have to sign for close to league minimum too.

Assuming this comes to pass, barring a strong return on Holl (tough in this market) it raises my expectations on Engvall to justify not letting him walk.

Engvall+ Benn/Mete = 3m
Heinen/Tierney/Steeves/Holmberg + Holl =< 3m

 

[Burnie97]

Good job. Get back on the ice and get playing and fire your agent.

Unfortunately it really doesn't make sense to be paying more than league minimum for our #7D when we're up at the cap.

We may have to sell Holl for less than value unfortunately.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

we are like 1.2 over now with 7D 12F, Mess was probably using a full roster cause it makes the situation looks worse and that is all he cares about.

It's not really a "worse" situation at this point.

Many teams will have to shave getting close to the regular season. Even if we're over now there's still time, and it's not that desperate.

 

[Once]

Just to get the QO higher. Man Rasmus. Whatever he's here

I think that's fair business for both parties. But yes, this certainly could have been finalized ~2 months ago.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

There's a difference in lazily posting inaccurate numbers and deciding not to post inaccurate numbers.

Your sentence doesn't make sense to me. I think it's littered with double negatives.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

I think the sticking point was ice time guarantees and with all the injuries maybe they were given or Sandin wasn't as worried.

Regardless happy to have both Sandin and Lily locked up under 3 mil combined. Nice work Dubas

Doesn’t he have to go through waivers now?

I think he still has a bit of training camp to come up to speed.

I feel like Keefe generally has a soft spot for Holl and he will be the #6 partially due to PK ability. I dont like it but just a gut feeling.

 

[sxvnert]

Now that he sees an opportunity, he took the deal.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Dubas doing great work again. phenomenal GM

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Now that he sees an opportunity, he took the deal.

Better than playing in Sweden.

Confirmed: holdout was so worth it

Sure, putting him on waivers sounds like a great idea.

 

[robertmac43]

A win for Dubas and a massive opportunity for Sandin to try and seize the top 4.

 

[notbias]

Can anyone play the right side if we move Holl? I know we have tried Sandin, can't remember how he looked.

I think all of Gio, Rielly, Sandin could.

 

[ACC1224]

Good news....drop the puck on the season already.

 

[Kurtz]

Exactly, he did what was best for him. It baffles me how fans are pro ownership. I will always be pro player. They put their body on the line day in and day out. Every player should try to make as much money as you can. One injury could end it all.

You really can't figure out why the fans want the best team possible under these extreme cap constraints, and are puzzled why more people aren't cheering for millionaire's bank accounts instead?
