The leafs are at the same number of contracts as before the Kapanen Trade?. He would probably be in the AHL anyway. Whatever. If this gets you worked up you need to take a break from the forums lmao!

At least if Rodrigues doesn't cut it for the Leafs he still gets to play for his home town in the AHL.

He’s a really good tenacious player for our bottom six if he signs and hits his stride with us. This guy can potentially produce 30 scoring points 10 and 20 type. Thats a good 4th liner to start out with there. He wouldn’t hurt you defensively either
If used in the right role, he may be fine. However, the fans of his previous teams do not have very good things to say about him.
Dubie likes him as he is all skill ... but we need more than skill to win a cup ... nice to have a TO kid back home but a Wilson type would be better homecoming

that would be a cool way to tell players if they made the team in camp or not

Well, the Leafs already got Malgin signed over the weekend and Petan is already under contract for one more year. Get Rodrigues inked and you have the makings of a Perfection Line... for the Marlies...

Fire Sheldon.
Let him try his luck in the open market then. No one is going to offer him anything above $1 million.

I assume this is a negotiation tactic. If the Leafs didnt see any value in the guy at all, he wouldnt have been in the trade.
Dubas knows he isnt worth his QO, and this is just the logical next step in the process.
I bet they circle back before free agency with a 'take it or leave it' offer, that gives him a small signing bonus (no one knows if this season will be 41 games, and if so if the salaries will be reduced) and a decent salary.
2 years, 1.025m (max you can burry in the AHL), 300k signing bonus both years, 700k salary)
Edit:
The above is my assume option the Leafs will give to a few lower line guys.
We can give you a bit of cash today
For tweeners who may have differing AHL v NHL salaries, we can give you more AHL money than other teams
The bonus we pay protects you from a truncated season in 2021.
Basically, we will give you a guaranteed $10. Someone else is offering you 7-13, but its outside your control over the pandemic.

I feel like they offered both Malgin and Rodrigues 700K and pretty much said whoever takes it first gets the contract.
Makes sense to bring one back, not both, and Malgin took the 700K
- He will get 1m from someone. 17-18 and 18-19 he was a better all around player than Engval when we signed him to the 1.25x2 deal. He is good on the PK, and over that two year period he was playing at a 38 point pace. .443 ppg was above Spezza, Kerfoot, Engval last year, good for 10th best forward.
- He is a very defensively sound and responsible player, something Dubas has talked about us needing more of
- The whole amount can still be put in the AHL without penalty

Is it official? I'll update the thread title
Didn't Dubas say they'll do QO's after the draft tomorrow?

He said both, actually.
There’s a video of his post draft presser.
He never was going to be qualified; he might be angling for a little more certainty than being one of the interchangeable contracts the Leafs like to bounce between the A and bottom six. Good luck to him if so. Don’t think this closes the book on the Leafs interest either.
