Marchment is often injured and has had one year showing he's a top 6 guy. I get the appeal, but I'd rather not. Especially if he's looking for top 6 money.
Okay I have seen this multiple times and I don't get it. Sandin's AAV won't be high even on a medium term deal so how can we not afford him? What am I missing?![]()
32 Thoughts: Could 2022 bring us the best Stanley Cup Playoffs ever?
In his latest thoughts, Elliotte Friedman looks at some of the best-ever playoffs and wonders if 2022 could top the list, plus more from around the league.www.sportsnet.ca
13. There’s no doubt Toronto’s Rasmus Sandin is getting a qualifying offer, but what’s less certain is how things will play out for him. He was going very well until injured late in the season, and couldn’t get back into the lineup once healthy during the playoffs. The Maple Leafs were very happy with Jake Muzzin’s post-season performance, leading to a left-side logjam with Muzzin, Sandin, Morgan Rielly, Mark Giordano and TJ Brodie (who prefers his weakside). Toronto’s cap situation doesn’t afford Sandin contract room. Good player and the team knows it, but the numbers make everything a tight puzzle.
As for Jack Campbell, the last I’d heard is there hadn’t been any contract conversations for months and anything that was discussed — I’d heard the two sides were far apart — was, in the words of one source, “no longer relevant.” All his agent, Kurt Overhardt, would say is “there’s been no material contract conversation” since the end of the season.

New Jersey is going to be fascinating the next few weeks. Number two pick in play, making a list of players they would consider trading for it. One guarantee is if they do move it, it’s for talent with a lot of team control. Same with Ottawa at seventh overall.
Ya I really don’t get that? He isn’t getting a 4 mill contract. Would probably be a stretch to get to 2 for him.
Bridge is an easy option

If Friedman is to be believed, it certainly doesn't sound like Campbell is a priority. Didn't get the vibe from Dubas's presser that Jack was in the plans either.
I think they either have another plan (which would presumably involve making a splashy move for a bona fide workhorse #1 or going cheap on the goalie position as a philosophy) or they've lost faith in Campbell and don't want to pay him more than Mrazek.
That’s the exact vibe I got from that tidbit, almost like they have someone in mind they are going for.
It’s more so, on the left side as it stands, It’s Morgan Riley, Muzzin, Gio. There’s no room on the left side for Sandin at the moment. He hasn’t played right the side very good at all, so it looks like he’s stuck behind those 3. They could probably get Sandin on a 3 year deal at 2.5mOkay I have seen this multiple times and I don't get it. Sandin's AAV won't be high even on a medium term deal so how can we not afford him?

Correct. lolI mean, Tavares contract also ends the same time as McDavids as well![]()

Exactly. Unless they specifically have someone in mind you’d think they’d for sure still be in constant talks with Campbell, as no other FA option (except maybe Kuemper) is clearly better than Jack.I bet it’s Gibson or Hellebyuck. A legit starter. If they were looking at a 1A/1B they would definitely still be engaged with Campbell.
Me too.Exactly. Unless they specifically have someone in mind you’d think they’d for sure still be in constant talks with Campbell, as no other FA option (except maybe Kuemper) is clearly better than Jack.
I’d be thrilled with Hellebuyck, he’s my #1 in a dream scenario.
To New Jersey: Alex Kerfoot
To Toronto: Miles Wood + Michael McLeod

Revisionist history here but not signing Perry the year we signed Simmonds/Thornton was such an unbelievable miss.
Comparing Giordano to Perry/Simmonds/Thornton level players is a whiff in itself.That's definitely a whiff. There's a difference between a player who brings leadership and a player who's just old. Giordano is a better player than his contract, so it's just a plain good deal, but I'm not sure a 40 year old with 30 career play-off games is going to offer much in the way of teaching us how to win.
Honestly not even really revisionist. Perry was coming off a pretty decent playoff run with Dallas and Simmonds looked just as done then as he does now.Revisionist history here but not signing Perry the year we signed Simmonds/Thornton was such an unbelievable miss.
Don’t even know if he’s available. By the sounds of it Scheifele is all but gone but I’m not sure if they are rebuilding or re-tooling.What does Winnipeg want for Hellebuyck? If they're trading him, that means they're no longer trying to win now, so that means picks and prospects. Does Sandin, Robertson, a contract dump, and a 1st get it done?

I don't see NJ wanting anything to do with Kerfoot after they drafted him and he left. I know it's different management now but the ownership remains the same.That'd be an excellent deal for us imo, and not too bad for Jersey either.
