Rask is out until January, I think.. They could go with Vladar and Swayman
- PatC80

With a name like Swayman he's sure to get porno offers. Too bad he and Hyman weren't teammates. The possibilities are endless. Hyman and Swayman. Swayman and Hyman. Swayman, Hyman and Hoffman!

Example

Kerfoot for Korpisalo

Dermott picked in expansion

Saad 3.75M-JT-Marner
Foligno-AM-Galchenyuk
Mikheyev-Granlund 3.5M-Nylander
Bunting-Brooks-Spezza
Robertson

Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Holl
Sandin-Bogo
Liljregren

Campbell
Korpisalo

Who is bunting again?

They can take players rights

They can select UFAs if they wanted
- Santo_44

Are you sure?
I thought players that were unsigned do not meet the exposure requirements

How's not trading him and his $11M per working out for us the last few playoffs?

Go Habs Go?
- underhill14

He hasnt been the reason the leafs failed each of the last few playoffs.
Him and Matthews were part of the reason this year along with the PP and Keefe getting outcoached.
But he hasnt been the sole reason for their chokes.

With a name like Jack Swayman he's sure to get porno offers. Too bad he and Hyman weren't teammates. The possibilities are endless. Hyman and Swayman. Swayman and Hyman. Swayman, Hyman and Hoffman!

Apparently the best we can afford.

I need Roger to show up and tell me how the Leafs aren't in cap hell, everyone else is.

Looks that way.

I’ve posted my suggestions lots of times but I don’t think the names I mentioned - Kerfoot, Mik and Gally - the approach you’re talking. I like Kerfoot too but he plays a light game at a heavy price tag. That money could be used with others to try to find a Saad or whoever who needs to go onto the top lines. I agree with you on that. Gally is a waste, if he’s not on a top line he can’t play. He’s not trusted defensively and sat most third periods when the team had a lead. He can’t play on a third or fourth line. Mik skates fast.

Sorry but I think Marner’s skill, with a power forward and Matthews or maybe JT should be kept unless Dubas and Shanny believe he just can’t elevate his game in the playoffs. I’m just not sure if it’s that or if they were just playing the wrong style.

If they don’t move Marner, there’s not enough money to get the forwards they need and go after Hamilton who is just going to be too much. If they decide they can’t extend Rielly, trade and bring in someone less expensive.

They need a goalie - a true 1b. I don’t trust Campbell for a full season yet.

I agree with the bolded.

Marner needing a power forward is the issue for me. For his money, he should need nothing. I would have the same issue with Nylander if he didn't show up in the playoffs too...and he has a much better Cap hit.

We need more fear-LESS players.

Sh1t, hate to say it but watching little Gallagher and Caulfield, even Suzuki and KawkYummy, just play hockey is annoying and very revealing at the same time.

Now is a good time to trade Rielly for assets, he's not a threat from the blueline or in front of our own net. Now the money starts to work out.

Let Hyman walk if he's looking for too much and then more money starts to work out.

Marner, Rielly, Hyman and Andersen opens up ~$25M (with Hyman's new Cap).

That money with whatever else we have, Kerfoot to Seattle and re-sign Foligino for a decent $, could re-tool this roster on the wings, D and 1B in a really nice way. JMHO.

I have Bunting playing on the 4th line. 10 goals in 21 games. 1.5 mil. What's not to like about it? 🤣

- Fakepartofme

He is TWO out of a few reasons...

1. He's afraid to play playoff hockey
2. HIS TENPOINTNINEMILLION DOLLAR CAP HIT.


Matthews deserves better.

Looks that way.

When you get triggered when the Leafs might sign a cheap player that showed some promise last season you know your pessimism is far too high

They can take players rights

They can select UFAs if they wanted
- Santo_44

The Kraken can talk to pending UFA prior to the draft and select said UFA and sign him.

So you want to be the 90s Flyers? He big! BIG good! Draft BIG! Sign BIG! Trade for Big! We have big team! We win BIG nothing! Same as Leaf!

Not everyone needs to be 6'6, but would prefer more physical guys in the bottom 6

Not triggered at all.

Just not overly happy with the Leafs cap situation and implied that with a little dig about the relative obscurity of the player mentioned.

Bunting on the 4th line, doesn't make much sense. Not a physical guy, gets primarily o-zone starts and doesn't defend particularly well, but he can score goals
