Fwiw,, I think giving AP a massive contract is a bad idea.

yeah, if it was up to me to sign him to a 7 year 9M per to the Rangers - I'd turn it down. Too big a possibility to have a 9M anchor out there his last few seasons imo.
That said; the Leafs' window is open now... Maybe they should go for it.

What if we found out peppermint mint tea cures covid?

How awesome would that be?

Btw, O’toole has covid.

And let Bill Gates use those little radioactive mint specks to track everything I do?

Got two options really to improve the D. One of Pieterangelo or two quality D for roughly the same money. I like the idea of two guys, but not sure if we could land both before next season. Or at all. But we definitely have to make a serious move in that direction cause this defense has sucked like crap since '93.

Yeah, that’s the conundrum..

Imho, I think Rielly is the guy. As long as he can stay healthy, and has a good partner (not Holl/Ceci/Hainsey) I think he could be one of the best in the league. Pissing away 8-9mil only to have Mo outperform him would be less than ideal.

If you could build a Leafs defence using anyone from the past 30 years, who would you take?

Yuskevich Leetch
Rielly Kaberle
Berard McCabe
Muzzin?

Rielly would still be tops for sure. Think Berard was just scratching the surface when he suffered the eye injury. Like to have Markov out today with Muzz though.

5x8.5 and structure it with massive bonuses either front-loaded or backloaded.

Btw, Archer is back on, and it looks like it’ll be a great throwback classic archer season.

I had to look Rouse up, 130 PIM’s

What a beauty.

Salming is an all-time Leafs great, but too old for this criteria..

Dave Ellett was no slouch on that '93 team either.

If there’s any kind of bidding war, forget it. Remember that we got JT because he left money on the table. The word was that he’s leaving St. Louis to test free agency, not necessarily to join the Leafs. They will generate some bidding.

Dubas really needs to be options ready. If he waits this out and other guys start to go and we’re looking at AP or Ceci and AP keeps moving the price up, we’re (frank)ed.

Me too, but, we have a window here and need to get at it.


Bringing in Alex Peter Angelo and giving up no assets would really help.
