July 1st, 1201am. Order your jersey

 

[WTFMAN99]

If Tanev is gonna cost around 5M for like 3-4 years, you may as well go 6M x 5 years on Roy, way more tread on the tire.

 

[ACC1224]

So far we’ve done… nothing??

I lack the patience for this kind of inactivity.

Common something.

What's the rush?

I think the Tanev play has to be lots of term to get the AAV down. He is not 35 yet, so his contract is allowed to go LTIR in the later year. If he wants $5M x three or four years, offer him $3M times six or seven years with it front end loaded. He gets his money and we get our cap space. He goes LTIR in year 3 or 4 and we all win.

Come on Leafs, sign this guy. Even if it’s a $6 million AAV get it done Tree.

 

[LeafsStorm]

Trade Kampf for a pick in this year or next
Sign Domi 4 x 3.5
Sign Tuzi 4 x 4.5
Trade Marner for Wright + Pick + High end Prospect
Or sign him to the same contract as Willy with no NMC
Bring in one of the 1A/B goalies for similiar length but lower AAV of Will
If they absolutely must sign Tanev, 3 x ????
Give JT a blank cheque off the books and have him retire and offer management opportunities
(One can dream)
Lil 4x..4? Or Trade for picks/prospects
Gio walks
Brodie is not walked but ejected (feel bad about his personal life but time to retire)
Man I don't even know lol

This is where I'm at too. Don't understand people being scared of term for a guy that often gets hurt and is LTIR eligible. After a couple years he could be our Mark Stone missing most of the year but coming back for the playoffs.

Whatever his age, in this most recent postseason he was still one of the best defensive defenders in the league full stop. And would make a great partner for Rielly right now.

Rielly-Tanev
McCabe-Roy

That top 4 is miles ahead of anything we've had.

 

[Evilhomer]

Yea, I keep coming here... expecting something... anything even.

Appreciate they are in on things, but if you are not getting things done, we have a problem.

I don't even know what I want really, change I guess, but I can surely assume what I would like to see will never come to fruition.

They can't sign anyone until July 1, so unless they are trading Marner between then and now, what else is there really to do?

 

[Dreakmur]

Garbage? What part of can't score a goal and is horrible defensively is incorrect?

Well, he's a multiple time 20 goal-scorer, so he can obviously score a goal.

There's a reason he's bounced around the league, unfortunately people believe the bull**** there feed about how much he loves the team and lose all objectivity about what he is

Lost objectivity is thinking he's not worth 4 million bucks.

This is another guy who has played the entirety of his college and professional career in the US. Born in Michigan, so he at least knows what Canada is, but is there some connection for him here? I would think there will be a number of teams, including US teams, who will be trying to sign this guy.

And he just scored 9, over a full season

Somebody will give it to him, I'd prefer that mistake to be from somebody besides the Leafs

 

[LeafsFan89]

Maybe it's the decades of disappointment, but the fact that all we have heard is that "we're in on everyone" doesn't bode much confidence. I guess it's a good thing Tre is inquiring about everyone, but still. Hard not to feel like we are going to miss out.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Give me Debrusk over Bertuzzi at similar contracts.

Matt Roy should be our number 1 target

 

[Dreakmur]

And he just scored 9, over a full season

That's why he should get 4 million instead of 6....

4 x 4 for Domi would very likely end up being a steal. Drop him on Matthews' wing, and he's easily a 60+ point guy who compliments Matthews well.

 

[Brobust]

If the offseason is Domi, Perron and Tanev, then it's a disaster. It's over. Forget it.

4M for 9 goals? Talk about inflation

He's defensively inept, as soon as he's on Matthews line you can't use it to take tough matchups which means JT gets them

Not good

Domi brings a level of effort and toughness as well so I wouldn't mind keeping him for that reason. He cares and it shows in his play, plus he can be a pest and fight as well.

Domi on the wing is not defensively enept. He's solid defensively as a winger and also a great fit with Matthews. He also overtook Tavares as the 2C for a while last season. He's tough, a good playmaker and very versatile as a forward. 4M is a steal for him imo.

 

[Dreakmur]

4M for 47 points playing 3rd line minutes and limited powerplay time....

Again, that's why he's only deserving of 4M.

He's a very one dimensional player and became of that he screws up how you can use the lines he's on while makes team building far far more difficult

He is, any line he's on gets worse defensively and becomes limited on how you can use it
He's just bad at it

4M for 47 points playing 3rd line minutes and limited powerplay time....

Ended up on the top line and we couldn't use Matthews to matchup anymore

Let him go, he isn't good enough to bother about

 

[Jozay]

I didn't say "will". I said "should". 4 million is a fair price for Domi. As asked, what do you think these other 50 point guys going to get?

Dakorta Joshua just signed for 3.25, and he put up a career high of 32 points as a 27 year-old last year.

Theres more to players than points. Leafs can use 4 million a lot better than on Domi.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not really on the Debrusk train. I just don’t see why anyone would sign in Calgary right now. Money is great but he’ll have more than 1 team willing to pay him. Calgary is sitting at the beginning stage of a lengthy rebuild.

The close to home angle is possible but if he signs there I would bet he will never see the playoffs again during the contract.

Yea I can't see them winning anytime soon, but they could sneak into the playoffs sooner than you think. Wolf is a great goalie, and I really like what Conroy's added to the defence. He's received a young D-man in pretty much every trade so far, and most of them are the hard to play against type. Plus Weegar and Andersson are one of the better top 2's in the league (even if they don't play together). But that forward group is ugly
