Where is Lagesson?
- leafersince62

where he's always been. Lajoie was called up ...he wasn't given a job.

Lagesson's already played 21 games this year, is a lefty; basically a wash between him and Lajoie experience wise, as both have played roughly the same number of games (81/75) in the NHL.

Maybe they're rewarding Lajoie, but the cap gymnastics with Kampf and Woll on IR... something's up.

I imagine when they can make space to call up a veteran they do ...it's a bigger paycheque for them and probably a bit of a promise when they sign.

And with McCabe feeling sick ...why not.

It's trade season so poop could be up but this transaction doesn't do anything for the cap or roster that would make a trade more likely.

Slim Tim probably gets in tonight.

Tampa doesn't have many assets to play with at the deadline, but Briesbois is not afraid to push all of his chips to the center of the table if he really wants something. That can be good or bad. It used to be good. Lately it's been bad.

Toronto may win a bidding war for a d-man, if Tree is willing to give up a first or more.

If I was Briesbois, I wouldn't get into a fight over Tanev, no offense to him. He's aging and is not the type Briesbois will want to resign, and Tampa has shown a reluctance to acquire pure rentals.

Hanifin is another story, but I don't think Tampa has the picks and prospects to compete in a bidding war for him. Briesbois shot Tampa's load on Jeannot and now they're hands are tied.

Lightning should stand pat - take a run with what they have and retool for next season with a fully healed Vasi. Depending on what happens with the Leafs' goaltending situtation, they might be best served to resist pissing away assets on rentals.

Let’s trade Liljegren for Broberg and open up a few 💵

Viewing party at Nathan Phillips ce soir.

Holy moly I love the Leafs. My favourite is Nylander, Matthews, Marner and Tavares and Rielly.

Kessel = 5.4
Lupul = 4.25
Grabovski = 2.9
Bozak = 1.5

That "Core 4" were earning only 22% of the cap (64.3). So yeah, I'm going to continue to female dog about the current Core 4.

I call bullpoop on this, misleading by omission. How about adding in the poopty players choking the salary that season!

1) Dionne Phaneuf = $6.5M
2) 38 year old Clarke MacArthur = $3.25M
3) Tim Connolly $4.75M (scored all of 36 points and was only a -14 in 70 games)

Top four scorers had $14.05M, 3 poopbags were paid $14M

Pay your star players, be smart about the bottom tier.

Yeah, Gio and McCabe missed practice so they bring up another guy to cover the left side just in case and make a paper move of Woll onto LTIR so they have room for him. Gio also missed skate this morning

Conor Timmins not at the skate

I do wonder if they are close to a trade with him

There’s also a slight qualitative difference between that 4 and the current 4

Just a touch.

Friedman says a lot of scouts saying there is a signifiant drop off after the top 20 in the draft.

Trade it now before they go on a 20 game winning streak

Also of note

Tre and a scout at the sabres/blues game today

Not sure what Tre's infatuation is with the Sabres

Very possible

Just connecting it with the fact he drove to Buffalo to watch them a month ago when we had that big snow storm

Sabres apparently shopping mittelstadt...glancing over his stats he shows very well defensively. Interesting player.

Timmins is ill and Gio is day-to-day or possibly a bit longer

Teams know that the pick will be number 32 so it’s not worth as much to them.
