Interesting. I was thinking $4.5/yr at least.

Before making any comments, alot of guys on here should think a bit first.

On the Kessel deal:

Kessel had a NTC with apparently only 8 teams available for trade.
According to TSN, teams were: Phi/Mtl/Chi/La/Min/Nyr/Bos/Pit
Basically, most of these teams have proper #1Cs and great rosters, or hometeam (Min) - all contenders (apart from Boston now maybe).

All of these teams were/are very close to capceiling, which made it almost obligatory to retain salary.

Leafs is finally building a TEAM instead of trying to get a few good players together.
Kessel and Phaneuf are two players that need to go in order to turn the page.
'Salute-gate' might seem like a small thing, but is very telling for the mindset of these players - unacceptable for any organization.

It's a great deal, a top prospect in Kapanen, a good young D in Harrington who has leadership skills. Plus an additional 3rd line player in Spaling and two good picks.


the UFA signings very good as well:
Hunwick I already called yesterday (advanced stats; great 6/7 D-man for next 2 years). Arcobello serviceable 3rd line C who is good on PP. Parenteau had 1st line posession stats as well; a bit of a gamble for first line replacement, but could work out well - apparently Babcock believes in him.

Anybody saying today was a bad day for the Leafs, clearly does not understand the direction this organization wants to go, nor the dynamics of the NHL.

As said, to list: Trade Phaneuf, Trade Lupul. Probably trade Bozak as well. Maybe sign Winnik/Santorelli.

I would not be surprised if Leafs proceed and offersheet Galchenyuk (1st-2nd-3rd round pick compensation); they have 'backup picks' in first and 3rd round in 2016 already, maybe adding with additional trades.

Great Great day for the Leafs!

Bill Murray is the new GM.
- Woderwick

I love that movie and love Bill Murray.

Good call!

Anyone know our players signed vs cap space situation?

Franson's next.
- KesselRules

Kessel deal = retained salary is a killer for 7 years, otherwise ok

Parenteau= old, soft and French

Hunwick = too old for a rebuild

Panik = good signing (should have tried for 3 years )

Arcobello = not as good as Santorelli


Today as a whole......not ideal
- mr.sir

1.5 is peanuts

the 3 signings are for getting more picks geesh

Absolutely yes.

Would you guys offer sheet Galchenyuk?

my guess is they would match...plus you need your own picks and we just gave our 2nd away.

And risk giving away our first rounder next year? Not a chance.

Not sure the leafs would have the rest of the picks they need anyways.
