We need to trade Barrie guys.

in real news:


f***.
I mean it’s alk we can do. We weren’t going to go four years. I was really hoping for a 1-2 year AAV overpayment deal but he wanted some security I’m sure.

I would have done 2 years 11M. That offer would have left him 5M short but would have 2 additional free years to make it up.

I’m guessing Sakic wants to give the opportunity to the kids which is fine. Gardiner’s a damn good defenseman though.

Byram is going to get every opportunity to make the team.

So who trades for Faulk now?
We could really use a right hander.

I doubt Sakic trades any assets right now though. Let camp play out. Give all the internal guys a chance to make our team. See how the season begins. Then in November if we think an improvement is necessary we can kick tires.

@cgf I get the idea that big defenders have been thought to take a while, but Pronger broke out in his 22 year old season. He was elite by his 23. EJ was very solid his first two seasons in the league, he stumbled a bit in his 3rd and Pietrangelo had made him expendable. He had flashed and was a legit top 4D, but the questions were there. His peak was certainly his 25/26 seasons, but has fallen off since. At 24, odds are very high this is just who Z is.

Heard about this disappointing forward in Washington and a #7 defenseman in Phoenix that we should target instead.
Nah we can let Kuznetsov and OEL stay where they are. DOnt want to disrupt that locker room chemistry. I hear Blind Carl, Connauton and Burakovsky are a real tight clique.

Oh I don't disagree. Just giving myself that one little ray of "well maybe..." as a huge fan of his. I have zero expectation of that actually happening.

Canes' left side is now Slavin, Gardiner, Fleury, Bean and Forsling (who they just acquired from Chicago).
Right side is Hamilton, Faulk, Pesce, TVR

Probably do or die years for Bean and Fleury...so Gardiner is bad news for them.

Pretty sure every player you just mentioned was penciled into at least one Leafs fan’s projected roster this year.
