Around The NHL #6 - All About The Teams Not Ours.

[moosemeister]

I wonder what it’ll realistically take to get Matthews? I’d happily give up Hayton, Chychrun and one or two more pieces not named Garland, Dvo and Kuemper.

I think it's a year early and Chick needs to be better in playoffs but if I'm Coyote's GM (??) I call Dubas as soon as the dust settles just to plant the seed.

It’s important to remember at times like these that everything about the Leafs is Grade A, top-notch, big-league excellence and everything about the Coyotes is Bush-league, small-time, bullshit. If you forget, don’t worry, several regular posters on this sub-forum will remind you over, and over and over and over again without mercy.

EDIT: too rude.

Maybe they should consider shutting the f*** up. Just a thought.

I don't see anyone here post that way?

Good news is Toronto gets embarrassed which gives them another reason to shake things up. Bad news is Toronto, Edmonton and Pittsburgh combine to have over a 33% chance to land the #1 pick which are also 3 of the least deserving teams in the league. My money is on the Oilers. They'll keep getting first overall until they actually contend for something.

Which means he’ll end up in Chicago.

 

[Jagged Ice]

CBJ are absolutely relentless. They got rid of record breaking Tampa in the first round last year and this is much of the same.

Total suffocating hockey so far.

A period to go.

Without Stamkos and Hedman they'll probably do it again.

 

[lanky]

Nylander?
Nugent-Hopkins?
Either available?

Let's just try to get Hall.

I think we'd have a better shot if we could take Nylander too. Give them some young pieces and the rights to Hall along with some cap room to add another defender. It would take some heavy roster juggling but it's possible. First thing that has to happen id Matthews asking for a trade imo. Don't think they'd move him before the final year of his contract unless he pushed for it.

It wouldn't surprise me if Nylander was the safest of the big 4, he has the best contract.

Yes!

 

[TheLegend]

Nylander has 5 years left at just under $7 million per.

We can live without him.

 

[Jamieh]

people will be calling for Marner's head but Im not sure id want much to do with his contract.

We don't need more tiny wingers.

 

[Mosby]

I think Toronto's problems are similar to Edmonton's just not as extreme. They get outworked, bottom six forwards don't grind, need at least one top 4 D and for Sandin to turn out. Goaltending is overall fine and obviously far better than Edmonton's.

 

[Jamieh]

He's really good but not at $11 million. Dubas screwed that one up.

Hall - Matthews - Garland
Keller - Dvorak - Schmaltz
Crouse - Soderberg - Anderson (CBJ)
Bunting - Richardson - Fischer

OEL - Demers
Goose - hammer
Oesterle - Soderstrom
Bushy

Kuemper
Hill

does this work cap wise?

I highly doubt the Leafs are going into rebuild mode so if you are pitching for Matthews I suspect it would require more now players and futures. I dont see Chick and Hayton even getting a reply.

I would take Nylander over any forward we have not named Hall. His age, contract and production makes him very desirable.

We can’t afford him and Hall.

 

[Fuhrious]

We can’t afford him and Hall.

In part because we're paying already paying two players (Keller and Schmaltz) a notch below Nylander's calibre over $13m a year...but some would have you believe that's juuuuuuuust fine.

 

[Jakey53]

I didn't say we could. Although if Nylander became available to us, you better believe we would and could make room.

Let's give Keller a chance to earn his contract. So far, his play and production far exceeds his contract.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

No Jets, Leafs, Oilers. So good.

Lafreniere is going to one of those teams. Bank it.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

That's because his contract this year is the league maximum for an ELC.

Tell me that again next year, when he's making nearly $8M.
