2x 2
2x 3
2x 4

i guess we could fire all our scouts
youp may as well buy an expansion team there is so much turnover and no accounting for salary cap

Well, his nick says it all. Burn them bloody boats!

If Gourde is fit (that's a big if) he's the guy you go after for 3C, I think Pageau would be better but I doubt Lou is going to sell

Gourde isn't big but he's gritty and he's been on long playoff runs and he's a natural center, he's also a 2-way all situations player to

this is an insane price to take on a bad contract

Maybe that's why CJ and Jonas haven't been hired?

What was he in Seattle, 3rd./4th. line center?

Looks like Wright has moved into the 3rd. line center spot now?

Gourde was taking about 10 face-offs per game, which is where Wright is now.

So Gourde would be 3rd. line center in Toronto? He's depth at this stage of his career.

Holy poop, Gourde has a $5mm Cap Hit? Obviously, he isn't worth anything at that Cap Hit, so obviously, with so little money left to pay, 50% retention goes without saying.

Dewar and Hirvonen for Gourde? Seattle gets a player they can keep for next year, for a 2 month rental and retention.

I'm pretty sure he was playing further up the lineup in Seattle, he's a 3C on a good team but Seattle isn't good

He's a 3C, a solid all situations 3C but I wouldn't expect anything more than that

I'm pretty sure Seattle would eat 50% of his money to sweeten the pot

That's probably a bit low imo
I'd try this years 2nd or 3rd + Hirvonen/Neimela + Dewar (contract dump) and see if they bite

That fills a hole and isn't particularly costly

I wonder if we can swindle a team into overvaluing Grebenkin. He's a good prospect, but also generated a lot of media attention during his stint with the Leafs. We know GMs pay attention to that sort of thing (see: our 4th liners/7th D perpetually being picked off waivers).

He could be a piece we use instead of dealing the 1st or alternatively combining him with Danford and the 1st starts to look a bit like the Jake Muzzin package (Grundstrom, Durzi, 1st).

Lebrun saying Gourde could be a target if they miss out on Brayden Schenn and Scott Laughton...can I just say I am luke warm at best on all of these options?

Not impressed with Tree here, older guys with not much tread left on the tire or a small rental centre that's been injured a bunch this year.

Laughton is only 30. Brayden even though older, he’s still productive and his contract is beautiful since the cap is going to skyrocket soon.

 

[All Mod Cons]

If our deadline is Donato, Bjugstad and the absolute best RHD we can squeeze in, I'll be a happy little camper.
