GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2018

[Lunatik]

I don’t know, I think the effort issues are slightly overblown. I haven’t watched a bunch of Vanek, but whatever.

Do you think it's a coincidence that the only teams that sign him are crappy teams and they still only give him 1 year deals?

 

[Dack]

If we sign Maroon that will be 3 (not counting lindholm for Ferland) forwards coming in with only one regular going out. Who's not going to be here next year?

From the end of the year, Ferland, Shore and Versteeg are going to be gone.

Woah, I know that we're saying this about everyone, but I would've done that for Bozak (assuming he would've wanted us).

 

[Sparky93]

I’m kinda warming up to the idea of Maroon, if we can get the right deal. He’s proven he can put up decent numbers with better players, he knows his role and keeps players honest.

 

[Dack]

From the end of the year, Ferland, Shore and Versteeg are going to be gone.

Ferland and Lindholm cancel each other out and Shore and Versteeg both played like 20 or less games even if they were intended to be regulars. Shore didn't even get a regular shift until injuries hit.

That's true. But basically I think we're just going to have competition for spots. Lazar, Brouwer and Hathaway are guys that will have their spots up for the taking, IMO.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Hathaway thankfully won’t be on the team next year, especially if we get Maroon.

[Ace Rimmer]

I haven’t read anything suggesting JVR was considering Calgary.

They were talking; and all I'm saying is I feel that the Flames should have offered more money and more years to acquire him.

 

[crazyfisherman]

I actually really like that grabner deal, wish we got in on that

 

[Calculon]

JVR did have Calgary on his no trade list while with the Leafs so entirely possibly he just didn't want to come here

 

[Calculon]

 

[Mobiandi]

Please don't go to SJ

 

[Calculon]

An actual big name free agent signing with the Leafs? We'd never hear the end of the it.

On the other hand, division rivals in the Sharks.

There are no winners here.

 

[super6646]

Site is crashing. My bet is he goes to Toronto and the hockey world explodes...

 

[InfinityIggy]

Please just keep him out East. Unless a wild Brad Treliving is about to appear.

 

[Mobiandi]

f*** me. This is gonna be a long summer. Least it's not the Sharks

 

[Mobiandi]

11 mil x 7 yrs

 

[Calculon]

 

[Volica]

Calgary isn’t even in the same universe as a team like Toronto now. Two centres better than anything we have.

All for free.

But yeah. Let’s teach a winning culture. And lose a lot.

Go BT, go swing for the fences and put a deal together for Karlsson.

 

[Mobiandi]

Hard not to see the Leafs as a legitmate contender now

 

[Volica]

Good dollar value.
Matthews with a matching contract next year.

They’ll be able to sign Nylander and Mariner easily.

Hard not to see the Leafs as a legitmate contender now

Easily best team in Canada.
