Zadorov is a beast that wants to play in big market. OEL was a forever failure....and the panthers brought him back to life. He is an offensive defensman. But he's slowed downTanev is a great add, just hope we get someone else not named Zadorov. OEL is intriguing
He carried them when everyone was Injured.Did OEL legit turn it around or was he a byproduct of a Panther partner
LOF evil twin over here.Of course the trade of JT is the main play....and I actually think we might be able to do it.
Look at the hate JT got from walking away from the islanders. Would he want to do that to his home town leafs? He may choose to go elsewhere for the year and then resign for cheap next year...or count his money tax free from what he's going through here.
I also think marner with sign a short term extension at just over Nylander money. Big moves available now with JT gone
I would attempt to bring in kylington as well if that happenedOEL is almost mandatory if the get rid of Liljegren and sign Zadorov and Tanev.
This is an offseason where I miss Kyle. For all his warts he consistently identified the right d. Rarely had a miss on a big addition. My issue with him is that he didn't try enough or try for more in the latter years. Muzzin, Brodie, McCabe. All three slam dunks. And with so many solid d available this offseason I'd feel comfortable he'd pick the right one.
1 year committments! Never missed on any of the guys locked up for longer.Ya like Barrie and Ceci.
Biggest issue is that he's probably looking for money & term.Tanev is a great add, just hope we get someone else not named Zadorov. OEL is intriguing
