Phil Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Leafs need another.. McQuaid is just too obvious. Not really. Not unless they plan on press boxing Zaitsev.

Dunny Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yeah, that's 6. They need at least 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Ozhiganov, Marincin, Holl. They have nine at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Ozhiganov, Marincin, Holl. They have nine at the moment. If you listen to TSN radio, those guys seem to think the Leafs are 2 NHL dmen away from competing. They just got one. I wouldn't rule out McQuaid. Those guys you listed are not very good.

Gravesy Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Excellent move by the Leafs. You'd be hard pressed to think of a better (available) fit for them. Solid guy, loads of playoff experience, used to playing a balancing role with Doughty, slots right into their PK. I don't think they overpaid either, considering he's got one more year on a good deal. It's more difficult to judge the deal for the Kings, but a 1st round pick and two decent if unspectacular prospects seems ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Could be the move that gets the Leafs to the Stanley Cup Final. Right now, everyone in the East is chasing Tampa. I'm not convinced Lightning will be at their best when the playoffs roll around. Lots of time before the trade deadline, lots of season left. Bunch of teams in the East lurking around 60 pts, should be an interesting second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Heaven Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Dammit, we don't want teams in the East to improve, we need Tampa to win the Cup this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I think the question about which high-priced player they're going to move on from after this year is the most interesting story in the league, outside of NY. Even if the cap goes up to $85m, they'll only have $25m in space, which won't be enough to sign just Matthews and Marner, let alone Kapanen and Gardiner. Gardiner is certainly out, but I think Nylander almost has to be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Muzzin replaces Gardiner. Kadri likely gone in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Muzzin replaces Gardiner. Kadri likely gone in my mind. I'm not sure Kadri is enough if you plan on signing Kapanen. Would you trade Kapanen and Kadri for Nylander? If Matthews ($12m), Marner ($11m), and Kapenen ($3m) combine for $26m, you have to move one just to get under the cap, but you still have to sign 4 forwards, 3 defensemen, and a backup goalie. Even if they're all on ELCs, that's over $5m. Nylander covers all of that alone, but Kadri doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 If their plan was to move Nylander, I think it'd already be done. That could change, obviously, but I agree, it's goi g to be tricky. I'll see what combo I can come up with when I can look at the salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 If they're still after another D, Gudas makes the most sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I guess, technically, TOR could do this: https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/1004286 But that's really optimistic and also leaves you weak at 3c and soft on D. Nylander also make sense because you could get roster players for him that would fit pretty well there...i.e. Fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
