I don't know how anyone can say "just wait until next year when JT is off the books.". His 11M cap hit is going towards a second line center (people are saying resign JT, but I don't), Matthew Knies' contract and Joseph Woll new contract. The same exact team.
You have to move Marner this off-season. Such a shame Leafs management did this to themselves. My God.

When Panthers fans don't seem all that concerned about Ekblad potentially leaving because they say he's on the decline, I think its better to stay away unless you're getting him for cheap.
Do you read this board?
Would you take your advice from this board if you were trying to build a team?
No you don't have to, if you can't get good players back you don't move him, a futures based packages doesn't work in this case.

Waiting for that report that says Dallas has re-signed tanev.
Dont want Treliving making a mistake

Treliving should be on the phone right now trying to get Askarov. No way he’s happy with this news
Maybe maybe not? He's always seemed to be abit overrated to me. Good but not great. I'd rather look elsewhere than take the current version of Ekblad especially when he's had some injury issues in recent years.
Also if I’m Askarov I’m on the phone with my agent and getting the hell out of Nashville. This kid will never see the net

There are some people here who look to be pretty knowledgeable that I would take their opinions into consideration if I were GM of the Leafs.Do you read this board?

Do.. you guys understand at all how goalie development works in the NHL?
Another year as an AHL starter won't hurt Askarov at all. Then the 3ish years after that they could platoon. Then you trade Saros.
Look at Knight. He looked ready right outta college. Played a few playoff games. Then shit hit the fan

They just signed Saros for 8 years. Go back to the kings board ffs.
‘He can play in the AHL for a year and then back him up for 3ish years’
Yeah, Saros will still have 5 more years on his contract as this doesn’t kick in until next year.
Usually the person who brags about being the smartest in the room… well, you should know how the saying goes.

Russo says the Wild are willing to trade the 13th pick for Rutger McGroarty

I find the NHL has a problem with moving on from players. It's the worst sport for that in general. What was the point in taking Askarov 11th overall, to completely block him at age 22. In his 2 seasons in the AHL he's put up a .911/.911 and 2.60 GA and 2.34 GA.
What would the point of developing Askarov for another 3 years? lol
Askarov has a career to look after too you know. You think he’s going to sit around for another 3 years. The value of Askarov as a young asset is pretty high right now. 3 years off the clock just wastes the value on him.Have you seen how goalies work in the NHL? Seriously. Wolf won AHL goalie of the year twice and still had to go back for 1 more season, and is still rawWhat would the point of developing Askarov for another 3 years? lol
You don't think some posters here aren't very knowledgeable and give alot of good insight into the team and its players and prospects?

That's true. And in these situations GMs tend to lean more towards the more 'proven' guy. Shelf life of a GM may not be more than 5 years in a lot of cases which also influenced decisions like this
I'd imagine Askarov is traded in the next few years sooner than later. He's going to want to be a full starter is development stays on track.
