TML? More like FML, amirite? Yet Another Off Season Thread

[MindzEye]

his two little kids may get sick of ME sending them xgf charts every hour of every day

If they were old enough to do math yet....

 

[LeafGm]

He's got two little kids and clearly chose to raise them in Toronto. I don't think he's gonna agree to move temporarily for 3 years. Have to assume they're stuck with him so you've gotta maximize him as much as possible. Aka get another center and throw him on the wing.

Yeah, Tavares isn't going anywhere.

Dubas had to know this was always going to be part of the deal when we signed him. That for at least the last few years of his deal, he wouldn't be worth anything close to his cap hit and that we'd be stuck with him anyway. Now comes the time for us to pay the piper on that roll of the dice.

I didn't realize they were toddlers...they can live anywhere!!

 

[Preston]

And to be clear JT earned the right to strap that NMC on his contract. So I don't blame him at all really. Dude got the security and assurance that he's gonna be in Toronto for the first what, 6, 7 years of his kids lives? Good for him.

He's still a good player though and I think he could have a Giroux esque resurgence once they realize that, like Giroux, he is no longer quick enough to drive a second line playing center.

Trochek would be interesting at 2C

I'm expecting the Pens to make a hard run at Trocheck. He's from the area.

We would have to clear significant cap space (tavares) to do it so yeah, I don't expect us in on him

 

[Artnes]

Was hoping the Leafs had a good shot at landing Kuzmenko due to the Milstein/Dubas connection but was told by someone with ears on the inside that its all but a done deal he lands out west

 

[Volcanologist]

yeah hasn't it been Vancouver for a while now? I didn't even hear about any other team. Boudreau was supposedly on the call with Kuzmenko

 

[CRL]

We can’t afford solid bottom 6 and glasses thinks he can win cup with ruzzian imports
I want glasses out asap

 

[Preston]

Wut

 

[Artnes]

Nope from what I was told Oil Change are the front runners

Must feel nostalgic for the weather in St Petersburg

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Quite slim pickings on UFA for 2C. Any ideas?

50% Toews

 

[The Green Hornet]

Stfu jonas

 

[GEEMAN]

yeah...not saying it's easy, or even likely, but I wouldn't be shocked if he waived if everything lined up nicely for him

He stay

It really sucks he's entering year 5 of the deal and we've won nothing.

 

[Kritter]

Is there a thread that's mostly Leaf fans doing an autopsy of this thing or is every thread now Geeman, WeHave and co. telling us what should be done now?

Right?
They need to go home and dissect their rebuild around Cole Caufield.

Is Chicago still looking to trade Strome?

I wonder if some taking teams will trade players they wouldn't consider normally because of Bedard and Michkov. They probably should.

Be nice or I’m going to give you a smack when I see you Thur evening ! Lol .
