The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

[hockeylover]

Yikes.

 

[Artnes]

Imagine sitting down with Matthews and laying out your long term plans and putting those names on the table

 

[leafman101]

In fairness Friedman is just guessing the names. It could be someone worse like a Clifford or Simmonds.

Brian Burke's two lines of truculence is back!!!!

 

[LeafOfFaith]

How sad to be a Leafs fan.

At least they’re not pretending to try anymore.

 

[CH1]

how soon before you ask about Josh Anderson's availability? Maybe in two years when cap goes up?

 

[The Green Hornet]

this is why i was so scared when he treliving rumours started. because he was completely plausible as a hire, unlike some of the names but also completely terrible. its only going to get worse. sigh

Hell, when they end up $100K apart in contract negotiations and Treliving’s not willing to bridge the gap, he’ll probably trade you Nylander for him this summer.

Gotta squeeze your stars so you can make your 4th liners wealthy.

what? no Clarkson jpg....it's the only reason I mention Josh here

 

[Oldman]

This Kampf signing is Fingeresque. Maybe Tre was intending to sign someone else instead.

 

[Artnes]

Coaches dream...

Just to point out - spending on Kampf doesn't really go along at all with spending on goons.

Nor does the apparent interest in Kerf.

 

[Jeremy]

Eh, let’s see all the moves Tre makes this summer before freaking out.

 

[zeke]

Just to point out - spending on Kampf doesn't really go along at all with spending on goons.

I.e. ignore the rumours

 

[Preston]

Fine with the player and he was a guy I would have liked to bring back and probably isn't easy to replace. I don't think I've seen enough from Holmberg to expect him to be an upgrade on Kampf. So that bit is fine. The cost is the issue.


One more dumb move like signing Kerf or some goons to fill out the roster and I will go nuclear. I'm on the edge of team zen at the moment.

 

[CH1]

That's where you're at your best. Always.

There has to be at least one trade here that starts to put Tre's stamp on his team.

I mean, I guess it's possible that Tre wants to run out the young guys (McMann/Holmber/Robertson/Knies) in the regular season and see what he has before making any big moves.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

This would be the first time in history a GM took over and did nothing but bring back the old GM's team.
