What a difference a year makes..

Well.
That and JT.

Why are you always pushing your habs sh!t agenda here? Cant you see people are arguing with ug (or vice versa) above some damn Dman that has already been discussed 7 times?
Gawd!
Mr facking "look at me, look at me"

Lol

I was only pointing out the similarities in reaction to both players around 30 years old.

Well.
That an JT.
- Fakepartofme

Tavares is 28 going on 29. He's done.

Lol just fixed it.

Stupid phone
Stupid brain and damn fingers.
- Fakepartofme

Yeah it kind of was and for a wide variety of reasons.

Trading a bunch of picks and prospects for a 35+ year old player at the deadline to add to a team already filled with a bunch of guys who are 30+ is a lot different than having a whole bunch of guys under 25 and trading an extra one for a guy who is (frank)ing 29.

I'm all about staying young, rebuilding from the draft, keeping the picks and prospects but at a certain point, you have to move one or two of them (not the best ones ones) and get help in another area. This isn't an arbitrary move, it's one with a direct purpose; trade a surplus to fill a deficit.

a surplus is having Sparks, Mcbackup, Pickard...Nylander is not a surplus.

He is a top line player you should only trade for a player of similar age/potential

Short bus dropped Ugtard off early.
2:59pm is the start of today's rant.

Cap space that the Leafs would be better off with right now than an actual old player.

Obviously wouldn't acquire Pietrangelo without discussing an extension first, same idea as with Karlsson but with a different name.

Hyman
Lindholm
Johnsson

down the left-wing. MMM MM MMMMM put that poop right into my veins.

Any of you guys order herb from the government sitee?

Matthews, Tavares, Marner and all of them will be asking for 8 to 12 million. One of them already makes 11.

Yes, Nylander is surplus. Stop lying to yourself.

How the (frank) are they going to sign Nylander and then either acquire or sign a top pairing RHD and fit him?

Kapanen could play LW and the 6 extra million could go to Nylander.

I don't like their LW depth either but it's still better to have the cap space right now.

Marleau and Gardiner make 10 mil.. that would be the logical players ..its not hard

- Unholy_Goalie

Now we're advocating for keeping Nylander?

Can we trade Marleau for Pietrangelo?

Gards will be gone.
Marleau done after next year.

- senstroll

Not if Marleau doesn't agree to get traded to Arizona and retire as a Coyote next year.

Who replaces Gardiner?

Where does this #1 RHD come from for free?

Elite defensemen can still play at a very high level late in their 30's.

I think Weber can do just that.
- Scabeh

If he's healthy, I agree.

Weber gets a lot of poop for some reason that I don't understand.

Holy (frank) he's down to 5th best now????

They plan to keep Gardiner and at the right price, he's a good top-4 D, just not good if he's #1 in ice-time. I think that's part of the reason he's not on the #1 PP so he doesn't put up some stupid point total and asks for 7+ AAV.

1. Jagr
2. Matthews
3. Tavares

Nylander is 7th

Sorry UG, but I'll never buy any theory that a coach will change his approach because it might have an effect on contract negociations.

sounds like he'll be worth ~a 3rd by the TDL
