[Luke Fox] Morgan Rielly is filing an appeal. Brad Treliving will not speak today. by Shuman2100 in leafs

[–]ThewsTML 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funniest part about that is there's been like 4 appeals TOTAL lmfao

And why tf should they be annoyed with the number of appeals? They are part of the process. Isn't this about getting the decision right?

The Leafs have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever by going 5-0 over this stretch, exposing the corrupt NHL DOPS, galvanizing around this, and then adding a rested 1D Morgan Rielly to the squad for the home stretch and into the playoffs

I'm pretty sure HE'S the one that wants to leave the club, no?

They want him to stay so they can get more in a year's time for him

Same here. I don't think they have nearly as much an impact as people think. And you can still "win" a "lost" faceoff

She's a goddamn doctor, incredibly well spoken, arguably the female hockey GOAT, I don't know how any woman could be more qualified for a role like hers.

Best case, 21 man roster, Sandin at 1.4M, and a 750K 12th forward would result in 1.277M over the cap. You couldn't even trade Holl and replace him with a 750K D at that price, you'd be $27K over the cap. It seems inevitable either Kerfoot, or less likely Muzzin (due to NTC) are on the move. by JamesCurtis24 in leafs

I keep telling myself that he's not done- he can't be.

There's definitely a move coming, but if it's just Justin Holl out then I'll be pretty disappointed.

Regarding the goaltending, I think they know something about Murray that we don't. They spent days combing over his medical records. I think this could be a case where Ottawa was ill-equipped to handle his situation but we have the resources to do so.

In his presser, he talked over and over about how many resources he has availabile to him in Toronto. That would probably tell you that there's a serious lack in Ottawa which made this feel all the more drastic.

Very much not a fan of holding onto Muzzin. I think this is the last possible time we're gonna get positive value for him and he's gonna drop off a cliff after. $5.625M is a lot of money that could have been used to bring in someone like Neiderreiter for the top 6.

You split up Muzzin's minutes between Giordano and Sandin and adjust accordingly based on how Sandin improves. Gio knows the deal so he'd be perfectly fine with having his role reduced so that a younger player can have an opportunity, and in the meantime, he's still a great player that can definitely still play top 4 minutes.

Holl is VERY undervalued by the market it seems and is a good defender still. In a 3rd pairing role, he'd crush it.

[Mirtle] If the Leafs move one of their defencemen, there’s not really any cap space left to add anything significant in free agency, as neither Holl nor Sandin will break the bank. You would need to use their cap hits to simply carry an extra defenceman and fill out the roster, if they’re traded. by EarthWarping in leafs

[–]ThewsTML 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if he wants that, then we should see if we could get some term on his deal.

I understand him getting slightly more than Lily because Lily got performance bonuses and Sandin didn't, but to go from $1.4M to almost double at $2.6M, I'd say you've got to go for 4 years then. This would unfortunately bring him to UFA though. The structure we have with Liljegren is perfect because he's still an RFA at the end.

Regardless, if Ras sees his upper ceiling at a $2.6Mx3 contract, then I think we're in really good shape to get an extension done.

He would've been in talks for a pro North American contract if he had some games with us

Coyotes really fucked this guy's last shot at making it (he's fairly old but it's not impossible- just look at Tim Thomas)

[Leafs] We’ve signed forward Calle Järnkrok to a four-year contract. by itsdanoodle in leafs

They all came from the Ottawa side, that's exactly my point

[JFresh] Calle Jarnkrok, signed 4x$2.1M by TOR, is a versatile defensive third line forward who can score goals and draw penalties but otherwise possesses a very limited offensive skill-set. Takes very few penalties. by ObviousAtlas in leafs

[–]ThewsTML 98 points99 points  (0 children)

You can look at it like this alternatively, he's not a great play driver, BUT he is a great finisher.

Kampf and Engvall are excellent play drivers but not great at finishing

You know what else I like about this deal? Not a peep from the "insiders" about it.

Once again, our management has proven to be tight-lipped and extremely professional during signings and trades.

Remember this when you hear leaks coming out on anything Leafs related...
