The Fucking Offseason Thread - Why bother waiting?

[zeke]

. I just simply pointed out their forward group has declined

"On day 1 of free agency he didn't replace Hyman".

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

No. Leafs were in discussions with him according to Bobo. It doesn't go to the rumor mill if he wasn't interested in playing in Toronto. And if he really preferred playing him elsewhere you simply pay him more. 2 million AAV is an easy beat.

Very much agreed, hes actually a 2 way C.

Kampf is a 4LC that is strong defensively and on the PK who will score no goals ever at any time

"On day 1 of free agency he didn't replace Hyman".

I said that too btw. Many times. Literally the weakest "criticism" of Dubas ever and you had a drunkin meltdown over it.

"On day 1 of free agency he didn't replace Hyman".

Haven't you invented a chart that says Bunting does replace him?

You getting lazy homie?

 

[Habsy]

You really couldnt tell if serious?

Long night.

Its fair play, I messed with LoF mildly yesterday morning.

I don't get embarrassed as you seem to over things.

Others have.

Not me, because I'm not a homer.

I'm actually liking the potential of this Bunting kid. Might be a sneaky good add.

"On day 1 of the offseason dubas hasn't replaced hyman".

"On day 1 of the offseason dubas hasn't replaced hyman".

Ok I obviously missed something with all the action yesterday. Who said this?

He breaks models, haven't you heard.

I think stuff like this shows the weakness in the JFresh/TopShelf model.

EvolvingHockey actually has Bunting's xGAR, better than his actual GAR, which was slightly above mediocre:

 

[Preston]

"On day 1 of the offseason dubas hasn't replaced hyman".

"On day 1 of the offseason Dubas signed a 4th line center for 500k less than Bonino, making Kerfoot tougher to trade and harder to replace. They now have 3-4m in cap space to replace Hyman. One may be slightly concerned that they are in tough to go into the season with better forwards than last year. But it's early and Dubas may have some tricks up his sleeve because it's what I expect of him."

Nobody, unfortunately.

 

[Habsy]

Nobody, unfortunately.

What is up with you today? I feel like I need to be stoned to understand here.

 

[zeke]

DAY 2 IS HALF OVER!!!!!!

Nope we haven't hit 24hrs yet.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Why are you guys still blabbing? The off-season is over. Let’s revisit in October.

Not signing Bonino doesn't actually "downgrade" the leafs Forwards.

Messing? I thought you were auditioning for the part of some autistic guy in a community play.

 

[Preston]

Sure, outside of limiting their roster flexibility you're right. It's still an error in judgment though.

If I like what Dubas does next, I’ll say so. I’m haven’t set out to bash him or anything. Getting a Bozak/Krecji and moving Kerf for Tarasenko would be significant moves you’d expect out of a team hoping to win it all with this core.
