I have been one of the few defenders of Ceci in Ottawa. But, if you start the season with Ceci on your top pair.....you in trouble....big time!

But Hainsey was... nevermind

I'd gladly give up Nylander plus something for Aho.
Carolina might be interested in that because of the 2mln contract difference.
- MaximusAurelius

The last thing we need is another RFA who wants more money than we have to offer.

Holy crap ottawa did pay hainsey 3.5 per bahaha

Paul "Dreger" Marner talking about offer sheet for Mitchy again. Yikes.

Solves our cap problem.

Im sure you would.
But the leafs cant afford aho.

Also with the contracts being handed out...nylander and marner at 10.5 will be great deals.

Marner at 11 or less yes (depending on the years).
Nylander is not helping Leafs win a cup, so it's too much.

Sens clearly intending to solidify lottery chances.

Leafs arent winning a cup next year....so your last sentence could be applied to all leafs players

Vesey to Buffalo for a 3rd round pick.

Hilarious.

The Almighty Vesey has been traded for what he originally was, a 3rd round pick... Wonderful

To sell beer and merchandise.

Man, I was low-key hoping for Stralman, but 3 years @ 16.5m is pretty (frank)ing steep

For nothing. Good deal for Buffalo.

I was hoping for Girardi as a Hainsey replacement. But looking at what Stralman got no thanks

No offer sheets today.
- Hubby

no offer sheets until b.tkachuck signs one to get out of ottawa

Jesus, Vancouver gives Tyler Myers 5 years, $30 million?

I want Zaitsev back.

And jerseys for players not good enough to be a serious contender. On paper, the team looks substantially worse especially in defense.

Don’t kid yourselves. Money>>>>>>>>>>winning for 95% of these guys.

Case in point: Marner: it has been my life long dream to be a Leaf. But only if they make me the highest paid winger in history, and I’m happy to sign an offer sheet to become one. Never mind I’m not the best winger in the game yet and Boston can erase me off ice at will but I can one day become one of the greatest, possibly after 5 years max deal you must give me.

jordie benn at 2.2 for 2 years would have been a nice 3rd pairing option.
