I would only offer 1 or 2 yr term but he could play on his knees and be more of a force than most of what we got

Perry - would love him but don't think he will leave Dallas
Gudas - 3rd put dman and a partner for muzzin killing penalties
Anderson - 2.5 mil - after he has had a physical for 2 2 nd rd pks in 2020-21
Austin Watson - don't think Nashville will give him up
Borowieski - 5th pairing dman
Holzer 2 way contract
Nate Thompson - 2 way contract
I didn't realize Columbus only has 7.025 mil cap space with DuBois to sign
Gudas - 3rd put dman and a partner for muzzin killing penalties
Anderson - 2.5 mil - after he has had a physical for 2 2 nd rd pks in 2020-21

For people voting and saying Boro:
Why would you ever want a 6th defenceman on a consistent 30th-31st placed team on our D? Hell no. Borowiecki sucks and Sens fans can't wait until he's gone.
Gudas and/or Dillon should be targets for D. Simmonds for F.

I honestly think Maroon would be the perfect thug. He can play on the third line, not scared to tilt anyone in the league, hits and is a locker room presence. Now Maroon is obviously a guy who is going to get a pay bump with some term and I don't know if the Leafs could afford him. I think they are going to end up settling with Simmonds

Agreed. Maroon would be great, but I think out of our price range and he has zero reasons to want to come here at a discount.
Some hometown guys like Spezza and Simmonds I think are willing to come here for a few 100K less than they'd get elsewhere, but no reason for Maroon to do that.

How sad would it be if our goalie instantly became the toughest player on our team?
LOL, I was thinking the same thign too... I think Keumper was that goalie from Minny that got bombed in Toronto and cried on the bench, not 100% sure on that one though.

That was it sire thank yous so many
I think Maroon would aaight too, but if we think more than just the game itself part, Simmonds would and will change the whole thinking and yelling and mental part of it. The impact would be much bigger. He's a real vocal guy who don't take dirt from nobody. Would make instantly our dolls thinking differently during games. Not many people can change that. The energy in the air, atmosphere would be different. That's why me and evidently many people here and outside this reality are pushing hard for Simmonds. Now we all just have to wait if Dubas bites that dust. We are all hopeful and less sinful. Blessed be.

I would settle for Matthews JT and Nylander sitting and looking at Perry and Getz videos and playing more like them. Those 3 playing with an edge would go a long way to what others on the team are willing to do themselves. Trade the wimps away though, AJ here is looking at you bud.
If it is not in your dna its just not there .
Having a couple of players like Perry and Anderson may drag them into the game
Hyman Mathews Marner
Nylander. Taveras Anderson
Mik Soderberg Perry
Barabanov spezza Korshkov
Trade
Johnson Kerfoot engvall
Robertson needs to get stronger next yr he will be in our lineup
Each line has a player thT will cause havoc in front of the net, crash and bang and stick up for there team mates

Y'all seen the Lebrun tweet now no? I was right. We are in it for life. Simmonds to the maple leafs (legendary) is happening Hard. We got him! For life! Look at the percentages. We got what we WANTED. Dubas makes us happier. Simmonds will change it all, like he already stated at tsn. We are now a harder, better team and organization. Simmonds is fearless.

Any chance we get to sign a Scarberian, we should take. They're the "hardest." Hard as f***.

Their kevlar vests are hard to penetrate for sure Report: Leafs interested in signing Simmonds i would like him signed. Perry too would be nice

I fear what a Simmonds contract would look like.
Hopefully it's a cheap, short term deal.
Him and Jumbo Joe on a cheap deals, with some combination of Engvall / Spezza on the 4th line, would be a treat.

The "hard to play against" thing starts with the fans and media. Do you think tough players want to play in the current Leaf situation, with a softie GM, a recent history of coaching not knowing how to use toughness and many fans and most of the media calling for the banishment for anyone who plays remotely tough? (remember how Domi, Orr, McLaren, Kadri, and Martin were treated?) Go to war for your fellow teammates and look what happens here. Why would anyone want to willingly do that if they were good enough to have other options?

Francine Smith : Can I make any trades?
Stan Smith : No. Just set the lineup.
Francine Smith : Stan, you need a power forward.
Stan Smith : I have Hyman
Francine Smith : He's soft, Stan. You need a thug. You need Wayne Simmonds
Stan Smith : I don't want Wayne Simmonds You know what, forget it. I'll have Dubas set my lineup.
Francine Smith : Fine. Let that nerd set your lineup. Watch you lose

Engvall got a contract and disappeared,done nothing. I give him no pass. He was useless

I'm not an Engvall guy either, and think it's nuts that the Leafs extended him for anything more than league minimum. It's a silly contract.
I was just merely plugging bodies into holes, but I fully agree with you.
Don't forget - Keefe benched him in the first game against CBJ, and called him out publicly. Some guys just don't fit with certain coaches. It'll be interesting to see how Engvall fits moving forward.

I'm not sure how Kadris name is in this mix, he was treated like the second coming of Wendal the entire time he was here. He often deserved the accolades, other times he didn't. Nobody told him to go overboard in his suspensions, and he had a few. He's more mature now, he wasn't here. When he played the game right, he was fun to watch.
We need tough, smart players. Defense first, take the body, fight for the puck, get in the dirty areas of the opponents crease. This is especially useful in a long playoff series. We certainly don't need fighters. Those days are primarily over. Fights have to be an organic response during a game, not a customary ritual.
