But..... If they manage to trade Tavares and or Marner, Tampa will offer no more than 5 mill. If the leafs offer 8 (I don't think they should), he might take it.
It might be a good move, cuz Stammer can go on LTIR and give us 8 mill in cap space every year. He's learned from the best.
I pay that extra for Zadorov cuz I think his attitude and style will play well here.
He can hit amd cause damage like lybushkin but has more offense. A perfect number 4.
And a second pair of mcabe and Zadorov would be frightening. Then choose between montour, Tanev or Roy.
Marner will never take less.
His trade is for, younger, hungrier, bigger forward depth or a playoff vet that still has some play and around 6 million in cap relief after the trade.
Tavares, is a salary dump and we will be lucky and grateful for a player or two and picks.
Use the 5 mill...
I saw mentioned in one of these news reports about the corruption, or documents case whatever,... that Trump org had an algorithm or something that skewed the data from polls.
This is why I really can't believe that, despite everything being said in court and all the other bullshit, that...
Here's my bold prediction.
Marner is traded to Vegas for Pietro and another player with some money to balance out the Marner salary.
Berube will want Pietroangelo back. Vegas just signed Hanafin for big bucks. Marner will gladly go to Vegas and will resign for 11 next year
Legit question.
Why can't the leafs get a PLD like package for marner.?
PLD had more question marks..yet had that elusive size as an option. But a way crappier reputation and I think we can get some of that young potential type of player in a package for marner.
I am big on the idea of getting those gudpro players on winners (Like Tampa and Vegas players) that are being forced out because of paying the bigger names. We've filled our roster with non winner bottom sixers. So I would love a Karlsson, like I wanted Goodrow,Marchessault as UFA to fill out...
OT here...but I just got back from the first chappelle night at the opera house..small venue. He is starting up a new act for a new special and he started it tonight.
Lots of hard hitting stuff mixed in with fantasies of having sex with a Mennonite. It was great. Fifth row
Marner may not want Utah, but who knows....
Tavares could totally do one year in Utah and they would resign or he begs to come back on a short term cheaper deal after next year.
I too would like 22 million in cap space, but you can't dump Marner.
I think you get something good for JT so...
One thing I do like about Zadorov is that when he wanted out of Calgary he went all out to show the leafs he wanted to be traded here.
I like that jhutzpa
When is Lilly going to "step up". He had that run when Reilly was out, but he has stubbled so many times and therefore has made himself not trustworthy.
When is it the actual players responsibility.
Offense from the D is vital.
I can see Tanev being signed and I still think Zadorov will be a great fit. If we have Berube, I would consider resigning Edmunston.
Reilly Tanev
Mcabe Zadorov
Benoit Lilly
Edmunston.
Trade Marner to Nashville for Saros and do something for Forsberg OR...
