There’s over $10M in cap space (almost 15 if they move Murray) available. They have 5 top six forwards signed. There are 4 decent Dmen in place. There’s work to be done but the season doesn’t start tomorrow.

Agree, winning the free agent frenzy means sweet (frank) all

Is there anyone on the marlies with a genuine chance of being nhl bound?

Cupboard gettin pretty bare. Especially with Hollowell and Mete and Benn all gone right. Guess just depth? I dunno.

Team is in a kinda limbo half ok half mess spot here really

It makes me wonder why people won't sign in Toronto. Maybe once they've played in Toronto, they realize that they hate the Core 4 and their arrogant behavior. I'm starting to believe that hypotheses. F*cking frat clowns!

Or just a spot of a plan that includes something we aren’t aware of (trade: wink wink)

What have the other contenders done today? This was one of the weakest free agent classes in years, not doing much today is probably a smart decision.

Every veteran who comes to the Leafs becomes close friends with the core and spend alot of time with them. You’re talking nonsense man.

Yeah said earlier thinkin the changes are gonna have to come through trade(s) here. Interesting to see how this plays out but... not looking really great so far.

The cupboards are bare and they traded almost 2 years of picks away for free agents that they didn't bother to re-sign. Lets boycott Boston Pizza and let Brad's Daddy come and whack him on the ass with a Pizza paddle.

Leafs drafting looks pretty good considering how few picks they've had to work with. Some decent prospects still.
Robertson
Knies
Steeves
Niemela
Voit
Minten
Woll

Two of which will be impact players on the team next year. Maybe three. Having a graduating class on the cheap is a good thing.

Maybe this was the reason of the signing. To replace him on the marlies, not position wise, but leadership?

I’m flat out guessing lol

They're mercenaries and only in it for the prestige of being salary cap royalty.

Acciari stings a little but what can you do, Schenn got massive $ we couldnt match. ROR gets to be guaranteed 2nd line minutes, 4 years and who wouldnt rather live in Nashville compared to TO.

Holy hell, if they kept the draft picks just to load up on prospects, people would be pissing and moaning that they made no additions when the core is in their prime and their window is now.
Literally can't win with fans like you.

To be fair to the GM maybe he’s approaching it correctly due to his short amount of time at the helm. Stick with the current core and make the necessary moves as the season goes

I’m thinking the same thing. At this point it’s only the pace it happens at being my question since there is nothing more than assumption out there.
