I don't get why people want Puljujarvi. The guy struggled to score with McDrai, it's not going to be better here. I get he has some good underlying numbers, but we don't need any more help in generating chances. For our top 6 we need finishers and defenders, that's not him. Considering what cap hit he would command, big pass.

He’s big, doesn’t shy away from playing physical and goes into the corners. Sounds like the exact type of forward this team needs.

he said that he doesn't believe that that is their 1st option so I'd take that rumor with a massive grain of salt.

Florida will trade Bobrovsky and eat salary or sweeten the deal before they trade knight, especially for sandin.


yes the Leafs have no defenceman in their system near foote.


learn the game each team carries a 23 man rodter they dress 20 per game.


23-player

Teams have four different “roster” limits to balance under the league's regulations; a 20-player “dressed list” for games, a 23-player active NHL roster, a 50-contract maximum, and a 90-player maximum reserve list.

This is rich. The leafs and for that matter most teams thatb spends to the cap only carry 20/21 players at a time. Why would you waste a minimum 1.5 in cap sitting in tbe press box

You can pretty much assume the leafs will do the complete opposite of what that buffoon reports

One odd gift we got by at least lightly overpaying our stars is that relative to whole league it should be easier to resign them and not get worse after it. Avalanche will have to make moves to be able to keep MacKinnon and Florida will be in trouble with Huberdeau after next season.

This flat cap adds whole new dynamic to this league, that so long banked on cap rising and signing players to contract that get better overtime. We got shafted by this logic, but teams like Bruins, Panthers, Lightning and Avalanche will be caught by it when those sweetheart deals end.

Odd dynamic and not fun one.

Yeah the Hyman and Campbell situations kind of illustrates the bigger deal you get on one contract the delta on the next is going to cause disproportional headaches. For example, Mackinnon going from $6 million to $12 million is going to hurt Colorado big time. But Matthews going from $11.8 to $13 isn’t going to be a thing at all. Also makes it harder for another team to try and steal our stars without blowing up what made them good in the first place.

This is obviously not happening lol

Leafs should definitely be in on Puljujarvi, doesnt seem like a Dubas move tho.

Hypothetically if let’s say there is some truth to it that tells us the asking price to get rid of Mrazek is too much that they’re willing to pay.

Some will tell you otherwise but it pretty much lines up. With our luck, we dump him and he has a good season. We keep him and he sucks and are desperate for a goalie mid season and other GMs are licking their chops.

I get not wanting to pay the price to dump Mrazek and keeping him, but it is plain dumb to team him up with an unproven back up. 8 days to go until Dubas shows his cards.

Mrazek and his salary affects what the Leafs can or can’t do. They need to figure him out first and soon.

And every other reported has said mrazek is finsihed with the leafs.He was healthy enough to come back In playoffs to back up and they didn't even want him around. They will try untill the buyout period is up to trade him and then just buy him out if nothing comes up or it's to costly

Not really surprising but CJ says Lyb is headed to market. Fine by me, we can find someone cheaper for the same thing.

I think to make a meaningful structural upgrade to the Leaf blueline, they need to have a top 2 defenseman with the size and bite of a Lyubushkin but who can basically be a top dog (to place Muzzin). Then you can comfortably slot in the smaller skill guys where there’s room and pad it out that way. Vs every time we vote the weakest defensemen like Polak, Hainsey, Holl and Boosh off the island they happen to play a style we lack almost everywhere else.

While obviously he's going to have some league sources, He doesn't particularly strike me as someone whose going to have the ear of one of the Shanny/Dubas' inner circle though.

This is one of the main reasons I’m not concerned about a Matthews Marner or even nylander extensions. Unless Willy goes for 100pts the next two seasons he’s probably looking at something with an 8, Mitch is pretty much maxed out maybe a rounding up to 11.5-12 and with Matthews same sorta thing except it’ll be more like 13-14. Combined that’s less than what Colorado is going to have to come up with to keep macK and it still leaves you with half of JT’s expiring 11m to fill that hole/spread around the line up (maybe Willy or Mitch become 2C)
It’s not nearly the issue it’s made out to be, and almost as if the teams lead AGM wrote a majority of the CBA and cap rules.

Sounded like baseless speculation as well. I can’t see how they go in with petr and one of the kids. If they’re keeping mrazek because sandford feels he can get him going in the right direction and keep him healthy then they at least spend 2ishM on a back up who can be relied on in stretches. At minimum, and most likely a tandem guy to split the load.
