What are you going on about? He’s the only 4th line plug available?
- Canada Cup

so far this year:

out:

kapanen
barrie
ceci
clifford

in:
robertson
lehtonen
sandin
rodriguez

re-sign dermott and mik and we'll have maybe a mill of cap space open.

we'll be younger, but not better this year.

Aho didn't have to sign the deal.
- Leafs43

Why wouldn't he? Half the money was paid upfront..

Andersen had his worst season last year, who knows if it's all downhill from here.. The great goalies continue to improve as they get older as players learn their tendencies... Can Andersen bounce back?

The 5 game sample size in the play-in round is not enough to determine that.. CBJ is not an offensively gifted team and he let in a few really, really weak goals
- PatC80

Thing is, chances are they can be much better in goal with Freddy gone based on last year. It was a train wreck.

Robertson.

I'm really quite infatuated with this idea.

Think of his trade value right now - for a guy who is still very much a question mark.
- Atomic Wedgie

It's not that it isn't interesting (cheap upside has more value now than ever) ...But, Leafs can't add cap space without moving it out.

So sure Robertson is a moveable asset but one or more of those $$ fwds is on the move if the D is going to be improved.

Doubt Rodriguez ever plays for the Leafs.

And Jonsson is going, as is that 15th overall to add a DMan.

So you're saying you spend nothing anymore on cigarettes, and I underestimated your weekly expenditures on whores drugs and alcohol. Ok, we got it - you're '"rich"
- MaximusAurelius

I never claimed to be rich, I think the word I used is fortunate. I work my ass off, and you're (frank)ing right I like a beer at the end of it.

While you're at the whole knowing everything... If you could point me in the direction of where I can get a sufficient weekly amount of cigarettes, whores, booze, and drugs for 200 bucks... Do share before you (frank) off. I think my wife may even approve that lifestyle for that kind of budget. 🤷‍♂️

That's the spirit..

and you ignore the obvious comparables of aho and rantanen.
- Tumbleweed

Aho 5 years ...another UFA year would have bumped him up to 9+
Rantanen ...yes, 9.25 is a good comp.

That's 1.6 on Marner's overpay. Not 3.

- RogerRoeper

They could be better, sure.. Worst case scenario is they lose him for nothing as a UFA. They should trade him now

Emphasis on “little.”

Yes beacuse you buy the horsepoop Freddy is a superstar who bails the Leafs out nightly. Do you have any idea how bad our goaltending was last year? It can't get worse.

Having Jack Campbell all year alone is a start in the right direction and will give us points. WE got our first point from our backup in December for (frank) sakes.,
- RogerRoeper

Was that Campbell who got the Leafs that point?
In how many games?

I imagine, it would take a little work off her hands..
- bixll

Yes then she wouldn't have to do all the whores, drugs, cigarettes and booze herself. God love her.

Or is that not what you meant... 🤔

- The Law

The only comparable is Rantanen, so by that account Marner is overpaid by about $1M.. Aho is a C, and the Habs messed that offer sheet up, so he doesn't count.

- bixll

Your wife rolls cigarettes?

Aho was an offersheet. Irrelevant.


Rantanen was cheaper, BUT, notice his cap hit is much closer? Because he signed for 6 as well. Marner also has better career numbers and better numbers than him last year.
- RogerRoeper

i don't see any merit to either of your arguments. agree to disagree.

Extra low blow coming from a bird. 🤦‍♂️

what if, and just thinking outside the leaf fan brain a little...what if they are better?

like they get better results...Freddie/Campbell is better than Freddy/hutch to start (assuming no goalie moves)


Barrie and Ceci gone...is good...based on 500 leaf fan reviews.
So let/sandin cant be worse....right...impossible

the leafs didnt have a PDO high or anything like that. The could end up having a better season
