Sandin and Liljegren.

Dermott should be getting better.

You guys think too much but too little when it counts.

I love how top contenders plug in young cheap D but it can never work for the Leafs. LOL

his arms might actually just fall off after tonight. i've seen it happen before
- daeth

it ok they grow back

Have you noticed it's actually other people that are wrong? I remember how Marleau and Zaitsev could never be moved, the offersheets, the Nylander trade...

Nothing has gone the way people told me it would.

Fact: Leafs HAVE the cap to give Barrie 8 million per if they choose.
- RogerRoeper

If Simmons says Barrie gets 8 million, then he does. Duh.

Let's all just realize the stuff about Barrie came from Simmons, who is a bullpoop artist. Although it's safe to assume players want big contracts. Let's hope Barrie is in a position to ask for one because he has a career year with the Leafs. I hope he crushes it this year. Go Leafs Go!

My mother said that I would go blind, but I haven't yet. His arms will be fine.

The Leafs just traded for him for 1 season, they win the cup, then he can go sign with the Clippers

One time I did go blind but it was just because I jizzed in my eyes.

Right on. I'm feeling it.

- TrashPanda

If he gets another 60 and maybe more he's probably going to ask for that. 7 would be a great deal

So bold prediction, that Vlady kid will be a good hitter.

Does a duck with a boner drag weeds?

Sucks in what way? Definitely doesn't suck more in his own zone. Giordano has labeled him the smartest player he's ever played with.

Considering the Leafs already have a guy who can put up points, maybe the guy beside him was best suited to be like TJ Brodie.

Also, Dubas explored acquiring Brodie first, so maybe that was his plan A for a reason.
- JohnFergusonJr

I think I might have been tempted with something like Brodie, kylington, Bennett for Kadri and brown.

Vlad Jr is the kind of guy you build a team around.

I've coveted Bennett from the getgo, just for the Commando references.

- senstroll

yeah but they are all tiny and weak for the first several months. the rest of 2019 would be a write-off

Genius AA signing.

Soory I'm on a tangent

And 26 million next year with no cap increase (Which there will be).
You're making my point for me. Barrie's 8 million would start in 2020.
I have made it clear I do not believe Leafs will attempt to keep Muzzin.
- RogerRoeper

1) The Cap barely went up this year. You cant rely on that

2) Tyler Myers is getting 6 Mill per season as a 2nd pair Dmen. That is the market price now. Who do you realistically think you are getting to replace Muzzin and Ceci and not downgrade the D?

3) Dermott is going to want a hefty raise as well.

4) Leafs have 26 mill in cap space next year WITHOUT factoring in Marner. In reality, if he gets 10 mill.

26 mill - 10 mill = 16 mill

Horton is taken off the books 16 + 5.3 = 21.3

Barrie gets 8 Mill 21.3 - 8 = 13.3

You now have 13 mill to split between 2 Top 4 Dmen, 2 Bottom pair Dmen, A backup goalie, 2 4th line forwards and a reserve forward and D.

5) Yes the cap COULD go up but as the cap goes up so do contract prices. Jake Muzzin at 4 mill is a steal right now. Look at the deals signed by Crosby compared to guys now. You got a guy like Panarin making 12+ million. Thats 3 mill more than Crosby and Panarin is a top player but he is not in the same league as guys like Crosby and Ovechkin.

I think I might have been tempted with something like Brodie, kylington, Bennett for Kadri and brown.
- mykokes

Which at least brings back some toughness and solid D.

If he crushes it again next season I would definitely think thats his asking price. When a guy like Myers gets 6 mill as a top 4 guy. Barrie has quite the leverage IMO

Prediction: people here will female dog when we didn't trade him at the deadline, even though keeping him meant we won the cup.

Lol aw yeah

What a class piece of cinema that is.

Good, I hope he wants 10 x 8. Cap issues are great, I love it. I always want there to be cap problems.
