The Fantastically Beautiful Joyously Superfun 22-23 Season Celebration Thread

Yeah but according to Dom’s proprietary work, Gus was having the same year as Sandin, so Dubas got a first round pick for free
 
I’ll start going to the office every single day if Gus ends up costing you more than Sandin
 
Zeke just keeps disagreeing that they were over the cap after the McCabe trade for some reason.

I never said they should dump Sandin. They could've dumped Engvall, Kampf, Holl, Kerfoot, any number of guys.

Sandin was the dumbest option.

What is with your timeline shit? I dont get it. If they had to wait one more day to activate murray to make jt work then zero problem. Many other options too.

Fact is they have decided to carry NINE ACTIVE DMEN for some reason, a d weakened their forwards significantly to do it.
 
9 active dmen is pretty embarrassing tbh, yeah. Especially when you subtracted from your position of need to get there. Seems ludicrous. Very messy roster management. That couldn't have been the plan.
 
They had to subtract someone with salary, and by GSVA Kerf, Jarncrok, Engvall, Acciari and Holl are all roughly the same value, except Kerf who doubles up on the other guys.

Kampf would have been the best bet. Other than that all those guys are the same.

Only because they decided to carry 9 dmen full time, which aint smart.

I never said anything about nine active dmen being good or bad.

All I said was they had to dump salary because they were over the cap (even before the Schenn trade) and you keep disagreeing. There is no opinion there, just a fact. They were over the cap by $1.12 mill with Murray activated after the McCabe deal and they had to clear space.

Adding Schenn meant they had to clear almost $2 mill.

this kinda screams of Dubas being left holding the bag on something he had counted on doing.

as much as he did, you can't help feeling another shoe was supposed to drop and it never materialized for whatever reason.

He added depth D too. If we needed any D upgrade it would have been get a real good top 4 guy. Mccabe is not that. He had plenty of depth.

Holy fuck man they are carrying NINE ACTIVE DMEN.

What is the difficulty here?

honestly, understanding your point.

I mean I understand you think having 9 d on the roster is dumb, but I never said otherwise, and I don’t see how that is a counter argument to “the Leafs had to move out $1 mill after the McCabe deal," or why you'd disagree with that at all.

Would moving out that $1M still be necessary if you deleted two of those nine defensemen from the active roster though?

Yes. They could have traded Sandin for just picks and not picked up Schenn. Or moved Holl. Or a bunch of other players.

But they had to move out someone making over $1.1 mil. Thats all I said.
