The best part is our cap hit on Barrie is less than Ottawa's is for Hainsey.

I wonder if all the negative Nancy's will finally give our young GM some respect.....

Doubt it.

I'm 56 and all I want to see is a Cup, they won 3 in my life but I do not remember 1 of them.
Who cares how old he is?
I read this thread almost daily and I bet those criticizing have changed their minds.

this is a great trade for TOR

Kerfoot is no slouch either

This calls for a 420 blaze it

I think hes handled this off season really well. Still needs a bit more but his grade is a B. Was a B- prior to this trade.

You say that now,

But get back to me when it’s mid-November and Mitch still hasn’t signed.

Dubas should be fired... ffs 🤪🤪

Save the faces for the new addition

I am 52 and we finally have a quality team in Toronto. Reading in here you would think we still had a bottom 5 team. Terrible

He’ll sign soon, maybe waiting to see what the other comparables sign at.

Where is red revenge....

Close....

Hyman, Tavares, Marner
Kapanen, Matthews, Nylander
Johnsson, Kerfoot, Bracco
Moore, Spezza, Micheyev/Korshkov (whoever these dudes are)

Reilly, Barrie
Muzzin, Ceci
Harpur/Dermott, Liljigren
Harpur/Borgman

Definitely better. Has to be better. But I could still see another D move before the TD next season depending on who shines in pre season and steals a spot or who doesn't.

I think they have to bring up Liljigren to know what they have before the know if they want to re sign Barrie or Ceci. (IMHO).

The farm kid. Give him a shot

Gotta figure leafs go back to having two strong PP units now, splitting up Matthews from JT and Marner. Pretty crazy, JT Marner Rielly, Matthews Nylander Barrie...

Not at all, you butt hurt over the first rounder to shed Marleau?
- Ross77

Such a bummer when your cap space comes from guys like Marleau and Zaitsev instead of good players you wanted to keep. If only the Leafs could have guys like trouba and laine wanting to leave the team instead

i'd settle for a decent backup goalie

Shut it, we all know that you're a Leaf fan.

Think it's Liljigren. Time to see what they have.

If Barrie or Ceci do well...I know Ceci is a longish shot...but if either of them do well they will have to be re signed. Not much Cap space so we need an ELC Dman and would be much better if it was someone with NHL experience.

i like the pp 2 years ago with nylander & matthews playing the half boards postion.

i'd put marner on the 2nd pp unit and let him to whatever the (frank) he wants.

It's not 1 and done, he'll be fine.

He's going to be an interesting one. He definitely wants big money and can score PP goals. But on the flip side, he's not very good at anything else
