Good contract

 

[X66]

Awesome.

He's going to have a great year IMO. As long as he is not paired with Polak that is.

He played some monster minutes from Feb 20 on-wards and looked like a legit top 4 dman. Obviously you want to see more of that, but he should do well with Babcock.

 

[Stuzchuk]

decent contract, there's still some upside on that guy

 

[Raging Bull]

Really played solid the last half of the season.

 

[Mad Brills*]

So, rght now, it's either him or carrick who will be exposed for vegas, simply due to this:

i) One defenseman who is a) under contract in 2017-18 and b) played in 40 or more NHL games the prior season OR played in 70 or more NHL games in the prior two seasons.

Zaitsev's exempt and gardiner/rielly will obviously be protected.

 

[oilwave]

I always loved Marincin as an oilers prospect. Really hope he breaks out.

 

[Maukkis]

Just Barrie left from those who filed for arbitration this year.

 

[LeafsNation149]

Good deal

 

[Morgs]

Very happy with the contract.

Hated him for the first 40 games, loved him for the next 40 games. Looked great beside Rielly.

true, but still have orlov/lindholm/gaudreau/monahan/nuke/kucherov etc as RFAs that will be signed.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

This guy was really, really good in the second half of the season. Not so much in the first half. Curious to see which Marincin we see but if it's the second half one he's a terrific player.

 

[Pyrophorus]

...and then there were none.

With still one opening on the entire team left-positionally speaking.

 

[McShogun99]

I loved how the Oilers gave him away. I think it will come back to bite them.

I fully agree, so I don't know why people are reticent to give him a try with 44, to start the season.

Aside from a backup, are we just about done?

cowen situation TBD. If the leafs lose that one, they have to demote/trade at least one roster player making a bit of change.

Honestly can't see them protecting Marincin over Carrick.

Yeah, only a backup is needed.

I see another quantity for quality trade happening again (ala Grabner) due to all of the NHL ready/NHL players we have that will be vying for a spot this season, but nothing too serious.

Seriously though, we have about 20 forwards and 8 defenseman that could potentially make the roster.

Resign Polak?

 

[Mad Brills*]

Resign Polak?

pointless. Vegas isn't taking him over bozak/komarov.

leafs don't have that many bust prospects developed yet?

Wouldn't 100% shock me if one of sparks/bibeau are moved in a trade, but yes.

 

[howkie]

Good, I hope Marincin keeps up the play from last season. I always liked him and I can´t understand why oilers dumped him...

 

[Pointteen]

I always really liked MM. I hope he becomes a legitimate NHLer.
I do wish he was still an Oiler, but he wouldn't succeed here.

Everywhere he goes he causes problems.
Can't believe he is the linchpin for our cap

What will they do next Friday? (past 4 movements, have been on the last 4 Fridays)

the leafs cap is fine if he's bought out. If not, then they're scrambling.
