Confirmed with Link: TOR sign F Zach Aston-Reese to a PTO

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
This PTO is significant and a small window into the coming weeks.

Dubas will be forced to move on from players like Kerfoot and Holl to go with cheaper players.

He has a few (not just ZAR) waiting in the wings.

Rielly's new deal will no doubt squeeze some players right out of town...

I think that a C like a Johan Larsson type would have been a nice fit between NAK and ZAR.

Ritchie. Former Dubas client Clifford essentially taking himself out the playoffs in the 1st period of game 1. And we were told that our departing Soo alum goalie was the reason why the team didn't win in past 2 playoffs.

Who are you told that by? Many people have said that Campbell is a good goalie who had a below par year. He has backstopped the Leafs a a playoff round win, but I don't think anyone says he is the sole reason. It was the 5 year commitment that the Leafs did not want to make.

The same way their new teams acquired Kuemper, Campbell, Husso, etc.

You really think Jack at 5x5 was a good risk? Sure its only money if we sign him but still risk of him being the injured goalie that has mental breakdowns vs the Jack that we saw in November. Husso cost us a pick plus cap and has played 57 NHL games and was 2-5 with a .890 sv% and 3.67gaa (IS is 1-6 with better sv% and GAA and two years younger) and Kuemper was rumoured to Wash from the time the season ended.
Husso/Campbell/Samsonov and Murray all come with a form of risk and most Leaf fans feel we have taken on the most of the other teams that signed goalie this off season. All I know is that the Leafs need a goalie that can make it through the mental grind that is the NHL playoffs did the make the right decisions only time will tell but getting two goalies that we are only really tied to for this season and two extra lotto tickets. KD will be gone if it fails and Murray can be moved by the new GM and we can walk away from IS like the Caps did. I did not like any of the options this offseason as a long term investment and im fine with what we have as it has just as many question marks as we had with JC and would of had with Husso

Being on this board is a much nicer experience when you put him on ignore.

I know it is for me.

I get it... I stopped using the ignore function, good or bad, if you block too many people, the discussion gets choppy.

Not at all. It's the inevitable. 3 x 11 million forwards, 1 x 7 million forward, and now 1 D at 7.5 million. How else KD going to do things going forward? He's counting pennies at this point.

When you don't understand numbers, I guess that's what happens.
 
Got to say, those hits totals are crazy high. That's energy forward levels. That's "I'm-willing-to-do-whatever-it-takes-to-stay-in-the-NHL" levels of body contact.

I'm fine with the choice not to sign him. But they could have. Cap wasn't wn issue.

You are entitled to that opinion, but don't ever accuse me of not understanding what results are. The goal for Dubas is to get his team to the Stanley Cup and not be on thin ice.

I know that people just plain like Dubas. They enjoy his personality and his methods. That's ok. You can't help who you favour.

You'll never convince me that he's doing well here. A 115 point regular season does not give many of us confidence that this team is close to its' ultimate goal. Many Leaf fans don't feel this team is close and Kyle continues to mortgage the future in a way that Fletcher (interim Fletcher), JFJ, and Burke did.

If I were to choose the long term success of the Leafs (winning in the playoffs), vs. Kyle Dubas. I would choose the former. Sorry.

Dubas has more cap than any GM in the next 2 years. That's because he stays away from paying guys like Mikheyev 4.75 per..

Assuming a level cap he's got about $15M to sign/acquire/promote 10 to 11 players for the 2023-24 season. That includes 4 top 9 forwards, 2 defensemen and a goalie. There's nothing particularly advantageous about the team's cap situation.

We hear this stuff every year and it works out fine. In 2 summers he's loaded with cap
