Yeah, we already have TV, radio, and newspapers providing more than enough horrible hockey opinions. So we should probably ignore the one medium where those bad takes can be countered with messy things like facts and logic by informed individuals.

In this scenario you would have Kapanen instead of Nylander and Petro instead of Brodie. It would only work for like 2 years, because before you know Rielly, Sandin, Liljegren, Mikheyev (and even Kapanen himself) are up for resigning. So you would need to let Kapanen and Mikheyev walk, to only be able to resign Rielly and bridge one of Sandin/Liljegren, while you cannot resign the other.

Yup and you're probably currently short another piece as not everyone is signed.
However one wishes to spin the Brown contract, I for one am happy for the kid. A 7th round pick, a tireless worker, some puck skills, a classy kid who never complains and just plays the game hard. Good luck to you, Connor, glad you got your pay day.

Big fan of Connor. If not for cap constraints would love to have had him here for a long time.

Nope but the Canes will sign him soon. They love their ex-Leafs.

Gauthier might get a 2-way deal at league minimum. I doubt anybody thinks he's a 4C at this point.

It wouldn't shock me, to see us sign him to that 2-way deal. Decent Marlies player, and depth call up, if necessary.
Dermott, Anderson and Gauthier as the players we still sign, before this is all over. Gauthier would be the final signing, because they likely don't place high importance on him, and could be hoping that someone slips through the cracks, and is desperate to stay in the NHL, and can be signed well below what they would have got otherwise.

We have enough money to pay him 700k in the AHL. I think we've let him go permanently. Most other teams aren't willing to pay premium for their AHL clubs.

He's actually a pretty decent 4C, our depth at the bottom of the lineup is just too deep for him to have a spot now.
But for playing 8 minutes a night with 70% defensive zone starts he did pretty well.

I'd consider him a replacement level 4th liner. He should get an nhl contract from some teams especially since he's a natural centre

We are all kind of flying in the dark right now, seeking some type of normalcy. It's to be expected... too many questions, how viable are we without fans paying to see, and what if they can't? Let's hope the new year, brings something better than 2020.

I mean, Ottawa took the lead a couple of seasons back by masking off large portions of their stadium seats in anticipation of this.....

I can't believe a team even drafted him. Even if the Coyotes had no top picks. Kid's a psychopath.
