Stammer doesn’t have interest in the Toronto spotlight
He does seem like a spiteful SOB though. Even still, I don't see where he'd fit on this roster. Maybe 3rd line RW?Stammer doesn’t have interest in the Toronto spotlight
With the smoke around around Marner re-signing and the lack of moves today I have never been more apathetic towards this team. I'm praying for at minimum some cap clearing trades between now and Monday.
Stamkos is 100% going to Detroit. Book it
I'm ok with whatever aav they give Tanev assuming the term is short. If he gets injured as expected we just throw him on the LITR and fill that cap space. If he stays healthy, great.
Maybe we should offer him one of those 7 year circumvention via LTIR deals too. The bonus would be the stroke Bettman has when it comes across his desk.Stamkos is 100% going to Detroit. Book it
Why? Because Yzerman? I wouldn’t sign in Detroit if I was Stamkos, but I guess we’ll see.
Is there anyone in that Ekholm / Muzzin stratosphere that is available via trade or signing?
I feel like we need someone on that level to go with Tanev and/or Zadorov.
Yep, Yzerman whose going to try and make a big push this summer to make the Wings competitive. Also close to family while avoiding the Leafs fishbowl
How would that work though? The contract is long and he gets paid most of it in a signing bonus, then retires before the end of the contract? I thought they made those deals illegal?I’m ok with whatever term they give him as long as the AAV is low.

As soon the Leafs do this, the league will ban this method of getting around the cap. It is OK for everyone else to do it besides the Leafs.Maybe we should offer him one of those 7 year circumvention via LTIR deals too. The bonus would be the stroke Bettman has when it comes across his desk.

Man I would have traded our 2nd and Robertson for him. Kinda upset we didn’t get him.Man it sucks Dubas left the cupboard bare of draft picks, would've been nice to have been in on Thompson. Could've been a nice pair with Woll.
Ekblad I suppose.
Or he could come to the fishbowl and try to actually win again
Main board seemed to imply Ekblad was cooked.
I watched and didn't think that, they're saying he's not mobile etc but the guy was going up against Leon and McDavid every game, that's not easy.
Forsling looked better but Ekblad wasn't bad, laid the body too.
Dude had a huge ankle sprain. .. he’s only 28. No way this guy is cooked after 10 years. He’s still in his prime. I would take Ekblad on the Leafs in a heart beat. Easily the best overall D-man we’ve had probably since YushkevichMain board seemed to imply Ekblad was cooked.

Also my understanding is he had a high ankle sprain.
