Core 4 No More: The Motherfucking Off-Season Thread

[JackBurton]

Eh, 11 million goes fast. you have to know what's available to spend it on. What will we add? Crappy 2nd liner and #4 D?

3 Max Domis, I don't care. The guy was totally useless out there.

We signed Domi and Bertuzzi with Marner's cap hit on teh team.

 

[Factinista]

Well now you get 3 more: for free!

I get your point, but you are banking on what we saw not being the 'Real Mitch' or something, but we've seen this story a few times now.

It really seems like he depends on the extra time and space you have in the regular season. Honestly, I think Matthews may have a similar issue, but (a) doesn't suck nearly as bad as Mitch and (b) was obviously not 100% this series.

hard to be angry at caphits when management didn't even bother coming close to maximizing our capspace this year.

Bruins coach publicly called out Pasta as someone who needed to step up… and Pasta took it in stride

Marner probably doesn’t handle that as well

 

[Habsy]

Why do I get the impression after reading this stuff that the Leafs are going to get even slower and plodding, an about face?

Keefe had to apologize the next day.

I’ve done some playing around. Thanks to all their cheap forwards they can afford to add two $5-6 mill dmen (Skjei, Montour, Chychrun, Roy, Walker) and keep Bertuzzi or Domi.

If they dump Tavares they can keep Domi and Bertuzzi, add a big goalie contract like Saros and still have a few mill for a center.

All while being able to carry a full roster, though they should stick to 20 and accrue cap space.

 

[zeke]

first time we've had no auto-LTIR in years and years.

 

[zeke]

thing is forwards are still the lowest need area. and ideally we'd try to jettison Kampf and Krok salaries if we wanted to add more forwards.

There's a lot of arguably #2D-level UFA out there this year. Big decision on which ones are actually top-pair quality and which get by with a little help from their friends, but getting one of those guys is the obvious priority. I'm pretty sure we'll choose poorly tho.

 

[Preston]

They may luck into a correct decision. Wouldn't be the first time

It goes to show you who really runs the team.

Didn't Babcock fly down to Arizona because Mathew's wasn't happy about his minutes?

He wasn't happy about playing on Hyman's line or something. Forumice agreed with him. Oops.

 

[hockeylover]

Are we even sure Keefe is gonna go or what?

 

[Preston]

Does Timmy really cost 4m? Think you can get him for much cheaper even with term

 

[Preston]

Are we even sure Keefe is gonna go or what?

He's gone yeah. Tre gave him the option not to speak yesterday

 

[JackBurton]

Our shot at Chychrun was when he was in Arizona. Very stupid we didn't get him.
