The Official Dave Ayres CC "All Thing Leaves" thread

Your numbers? Buyouts, retentions, maybe?

Ding!

(first two are Horton/Lupul salaries)

Don't tell Tuna we know they can use LTIR but first they must be cap compliant to start the year.

Right, I also won't tell him that if they use LTIR they will likely have $4.5M added to the 2018-19 cap.

If Tuna is still in this thread he has more problems then I originally thought.

[rats19]

You could spell his immediate problem in CAPS...

[quote="Strangelove"]If they trade Nylander they only have 2 young offensive forwards moving forward.

Harder sell to the flash-n-dash fans... but maybe?

Kapanen could be a Vey-like bust at the NHL level (no team would do that deal)

[b]They have already traded away too many picks [/b](despite what Tuna says the rebuild is [b]not[/b] complete).

I don't think Kadri gets the dee I described above (career year, likely to fall back into his partying ways)

The Nylander option seems the best but Leavers are loath to to trade any of their 3 young forwards.

(they have hitched their wagons to their stars, they FREAK OUT at the mere suggestion of moving one)

Besides I'm not convinced a team would give up a physical top 2 RHS dee for him in this market.

But yeah the dee is a wreck... next year the only NHL caliber dmen are Rielly/Zaitsev/Gardiner

... all three are soft second pairing guys (and Zaitsev might yet get coaxed back to Russia).

This can't be fixed anytime soon.

Watch the Caps steamroll them in the playoffs! [/quote]

They've had more picks than any team the past two years. How many more should they have? They are #1 in total picks.
And you thought Marner would be a bust. How can you determine if their D is good enough going forward?? They got Zaitsev-A young RH D-Man for free. And Edmonton had to give Hall to get one.

[Strangelove]

"Zaitsev for free"

I hear that a lot from Leafers.

UMMM... every team signs Unrestricted Free Agents... WDF?

Sure they got him at a cheap rate for the first year

... but they'll hafta pay up now bucko!

Big bucks + term.

Or Comrade Zaitsev goes home to the Motherland.

Notice that as soon as the playoffs start he fakes an injury, so typical.

"They've had more picks than any team the past two years. How many more should they have?"

Riiiiight, no more draft picks necessary moving forward.

Will the leaves continue to be the Leagues "Most Shots Against Per Game" Leaders in the playoffs as well?

It will based on a four game sample, so we'll find out soon enough!
