Mikael Granlund is headed to market.

- 21peter

Dubas tried getting him at the deadline. I recall Santo saying this a few weeks ago. Can the Leafs really afford to be softer?

Montreal doesn't have 4 forwards making 40 million.
- joel878

Yes but they have atop goalie and many holes to fill.

It’s going to be over 10 million combined for hyman and barrie.

We didn’t even like barrie at 2.75 but hyman was good value at 2.1.

They have almost 11 million in cap space and then Weber goes to LTIR.

If you get soft enough, you wrap-around into T1000 territory and then you're impervious to everything.

It's a delicate balance, though. If you don't get there, then you're just super soft like DQ ice cream - even on ice you're a useless blob.

Galchenyuk re-signing?
- AdamFrench

Welcome back. I haven't read much this past week so I'm not sure when you returned. Hope you're home and on the way to a full recovery.

I was just commenting on your "not sure we need a 6 million dollar goalie"
By pointing out what Montreal did with a top notch goalie and holes to fill, sorry.

Fire Dubas. only if the Leafs don't make the playoffs or loose in the 1st round again.

then:

- Keep Hyman -> to rich for this current squad
- sign Heinen or Richie
- get Holtby No way Josee
- trade Willy and Matthews --> now your just being silly
- get good players in return
- win a Stanley Cup in 2030

If Kerfoot is out they'll have to grab atleast 3 new Fwd's ...probably 4.
- The Law


I'm all for moving on from Kerfoot as well.

To your previous comment, I don't know who you would get as a Bogo replacement if it's not just moving up the internal players.

For up front I like the replacement parts in guys like Bonino or Nash at 3C, and maybe a decent LW like Schwartz or Hoffman. For some physicality or tenacity I do like guys like Haula, Heinen, McGinn, trading for Bertuzzi, resigning Foligno . . . I'd take Kase if affordable, but he's not really changing the physicality on the team, but he'd be a good Galchenyuk replacement, again, if affordable.

But I don't know who is affordable at D who would bring some muscle and determination and still be affordable - so you take the bad parts of their game with the good. McCabe? Gudbranson? I suspect someone will overpay him because he's large. Cole? Forbort? I'm not even looking at right-side - I'm just trying to think of physical role, available and affordable. I come up with very little. Frankly, I was fine with Bogo. Edit - I just considered Luke Schenn. I guess he'd be an option, too.
He's lousy enough to give the kids a chance to prove themselves.

I missed that point so that's my bad. I would argue Montreal's team was very different from the leafs than one top tier goaltender.
