Line Combos: 2019/2020 Roster Discussion

[MattySnipes]

He’s eligible to not count against the 50 contract limit. However that would require him to be assigned to a junior team. If he plays in the AHL then his contract counts.

Thanks. As well, if he plays more than 9 games with Leafs his contract wouldn't be exempt, correct?

Yeah. Basically what the rule is saying is that only players who are eligible to slide can be exempt from the 50 contract limit. Once an 18 or 19 year old players hits 10+ NHL games in a season they can no longer slide. The most important instance being an 18 year old player who burns the first year on their ELC isn’t eligible to slide the next season at age 19 even if sent to juniors.

With this lineup mayne.... we bout to score at least 5 goals against the sens wednesday :celebration: :smoke: :congratulations: :birthday: :fun: :joy:

I mean look at our forward talent, ottawa fools ain't got nothing on our rear ends son. They inherited our fools, like 4 of our goons who ain' t got that much game neither. We finna twerk on that ass wednesday. Invest y'alls moneys.

 

[Ciao]

Yup. The bottom line was that to get within a couple hundred thousands of the cap you were putting together the bottom of the roster based mainly on cap considerations - not ideal roster. They got to within 11K of the cap - essentially to do that you are looking at dollar amounts with little regard for the players being paid those dollar amounts. There would have been a couple different scenarios around that range - you figure out which one is most palatable - and then change things around after the LTIR issue is dealt with.

They will play some musical chairs soon.

Worse lineup and 82.6M without any spares.

Noted and corrected

 

[MagicalRazor]

Any offical word? on the actually roster yet?

 

[novon04]

What are the powerplay units expected to look like?

 

[Coachcorner]

What are the powerplay units expected to look like?

Rielly and Barrie on the blueline in the dirts unit. Matthews - Tavares - Marner on the forward zone. That that beautiful stuff right thurr sire.

 

[Mess]

The facts are the facts though. And our wingers are much improved from last season even with a full year of nylander.

The facts are the facts but why are we excluding players?

Last year top 9

Hyman ------- Tavares ------ Marner
Johnsson ---- Matthews -- Kapanen
Marleau ----- Kadri ---------Nylander

This year

Hyman ------- Tavares -------- Marner
Johnsson ---- Matthews ----- Nylander
Mikheyev -- Kerfoot ----------Kapanen

So we're really debating Kadri & Marleau vs Mikheyev & Kerfoot as being an upgrade in the top 9 where 7 are the same from year to year.

You forgot to highlight Nylander. He was basically non existent because of the contract last season and didnt join the team till December,,. I'd say that's pretty signficant.

It's easy to underestimate genius. You need scuba gear to reach that man's depth.

Not sure why we don’t swap Kapanen and Moore so they’re playing their natural positions. And when Hyman returns Kappy will go back to RW anyways so less disruption on the third line (none).

Because Kapanen is potentially a very good fit on the tavares line. Not that Moore would be a bad fit, but Kapanen on that line has a higher potential reward.

I agree. I don't think it'd change much at all and it'd allow Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Kapanen to start building chemistry

Pridham earning that paycheck

Pridham earning that paycheck

this is a nice little loophole...they should be able to run a 20-21 man roster without having to worry about playing short for many games.

Not too surprised to see Spezza a healthy scratch, as I see him at his age and decline now just a spare part filler as needed.

Nick Shore adds a little more physicality to the line-up.
