We have a ton of assets including 1sts and Liljegren. If the right deal comes up, we may not say no.
Could not do 20 pp, expect this was not yet raised...
Rangers will move Holden and attempt to move Staal, who has NMC, and must approve waive
they also have LDs Skjei, Smith and Graves + behind McDonagh, who could conceivably go for MASSIVE OVERPAYMENT, not less.
McD is on sweetheart 4.7 per for another 2 yrs
JVR would have little interest for us.
1sts and Liljegren
more 1sts and Kadri
something around Nylander
would prefer Leafs get ball rolling, feel free to include Holden/Staal or not, yes, we will pay within reason to have you take Staal.
will review dif packages you come up with once I catch up on work early nxt wk
thanks
People in this thread are out of their minds if they believe Toronto needs to be extorted to obtain a top 4 defenceman. The Leafs already have shot down the myth that their defence is as bad as some want to believe ( See playoffs versus Capitals). LA with great defenceman didn't make the playoffs. Neither did Winnipeg (Trouba, Buff), Carolina (Slavic, Pesci, Hanifin, Falk), Philadelphia (Ghost, Provorov), etc. I think Toronto will be just fine going into the season with what they have. If someone reasonable becomes available, I'm sure it will not cost them top line talent as some here hope.
I don't begrudge you that, ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, you don't wanna overpay.
That said, that want yields to
you get what you pay for
and
supply and demand
or no deal.
