The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

Not sure why this part of the quote didn’t make it to Twitter m, but Tre said

“We’re not as concerned as everyone else. We have LTI positions that let us do what we did yesterday.”

 

[Habsy]

what do you mean you're not seeing it?

we're 8m over right now.

Yeah and he's only 5

 

[zeke]

Haven't i gone through the numbers enough times here?

Record with Holmberg in the lineup at 4C last year: 25-8-4.

They can do it again. 3C is a nice to have but not a must-have I think, especially since that line will be insulated with better wingers than last year. My only real concern is d. But might as well let it play out.

 

[LeafGm]

his body has been failing him for years. It’s not up to him. See Lupul.

all signs point to LTIR.

The only reason forcing Lupul onto LTIR against his will worked is Godfather probably threatened to have his family killed.

Not sure pizza Brad has that in him.

Other thing Tre said is ROR loved the team but didn’t want to play at home. Something along the line of “I saw the quotes, Ryan loved playing here, he loved the players and the coaches. Sometimes when you’re from here there is other stuff that goes into it.”

Also, ROR was overrated junk with us. We won’t even feel his absence, I promise.

Leafs dodged a bullet not going term

Again, with Murray's contract gone, the amount remaining for Sammy is:

$3.4 with 12 forwards and Lafferty waived/buried
$3.0 with 12 forwards and Lafferty kept
$2.6 with 13 forwards and Lafferty waived/buried
$2.2 with 13 forwards and Lafferty kept

Lafferty's $1.15m contract being 100% buriable

Leafs were 9-3-1 with ROR in the lineup of course, and one of those losses was when he left early with injury.

Note that the actual capspace is slightly MORE in all 4 cases but higher by a piddling amount. I rounded down.

I’d bet money on LTIR. We know how Pridham works. He left exactly $3 mill to sign Sammy if Murray is on LTIR. He ended last year injured and has been on LTIR most of the last 3 years.

he was allegedly healthy by the end of the playoffs though. That’s my only concern

 

[leafman101]

Lafferty doesn’t really make sense to keep at the expense of an extra player.

can probably get decent picks for him too.

 

[trujaysfan]

I think it's fair to say we will be looking for a middle 6 centre at the deadline.

Remember that Jarnkrok was Brad's 3C trade deadline acquisiton the year before.
