doesnt montreal need more of a rover?
- senstroll

Probably not.

Just throw a forward back there if you’re not going to be any good at defense.

We can all agree Ceci for 3.25 million for 4 years is one of the worst deals today.

Is this real? Holy God. Peter Chiarelli has a Ken Holland voodoo doll and is controlling him.

He didn’t?

Maybe for another $1m/yr he would have changed his mind?
- Garnie

Its been said a lot of players didnt want to come up here. I dont think the extra million would matter.

That's a separate question than the simple - can you easily replace Justin Holl @ $2m in the top-4 role?

If you change that question to: Could I get a better top-4 D-man than Justin Holl if price were no object?

The answer is fairly obvious.
- Monkeypunk

The better question should be: is Justin Holl a legitimate Top 4 defender on a Cup favourite team?

saves money for foligno.

This kid has only played 26 NHL games.
I think the avg is 950 per year according to leafs lunch.

We'll see how he turns out

Think we can all agree that it's so nice not having Holland in TO. Wow, what a brutal showing.

Bunting 2x950 (or is it 900?).

Ehh... I guess, cool.

Puts up some good #’s though

id rather swing for the fence, but bunting will have to do

Think I’d rather have Reimer or Raanta at those prices but let’s be patient.

So Mrazek, Bunting, the young d kid from the Wild.

Need some big move. Put a stamp on things somehow.

No he isn't.
But thanks to dubas 40m 4, he has to play in our top 4.

But the leafs arent a cup contending team, so.

Leafs fans - Bunting is good around the net, even-strength and PP. 10 goals in 21 games with AZ last season. Good forechecker, winning puck battles. Some additional thoughts...

Low risk, high reward, former Soo, seems like he can play physical. 🤷

One of the busier off seasons for the nhl so far.

This is the issue. We've created a situation where we have to run with a miscast guy because we refuse to pivot on any of the Core. The defenders will say, "find me a better 2M defenceman" to which I will reply, "is a 2M defenceman appropriate for the role?".

Anyway, beating a dead horse here.

Per the Leafs, I think they're certainly a Cup contending team but maybe no longer a "favourite". We'll see.
