Toronto can’t sign all its players. Brown, kap, nylander will all be available imoFrom what I have read Marner is expected Matthews money and they have low balled him as of now. I agree I doubt Toronto will let him go, he seems to be an all around great guy and fans love him.
If TBL wins the cup can they afford Point ?
Gotta think he’s going to want to play in the NHL with whoever he signs with. Not sure we should be adding any D that’s not establishedAny chance they go after this guy? Chase Priskie at eliteprospects.com

Proposal on main board of Vince Dunn for Hoffman.
Thoughts?
The value is there but doesn't make sense for the Cats since Yandle and Math command the big minutes regardless if they are 'quipped to do so.
The Cats probably have to just bet on Hoff that he'll open the floodgates on his stats in the 2nd half of the season.
Hoffman has been better as of late. Not doubting him getting 25+ goals or 60pts but the way Tippett is playing, its gotta get ya thinking a bit.
For sure but you could possibly manipulate their minutes no?
Dunn was averaging 17+ mins his last two years and down to 16mins this year.
Matheson - Ekblad
Dunn - Weegar
Yandle - Stralman
Brown
You have to be open to possibly moving Yandle/Stralman in off season if this trade was made.
Also allows you to cash in on Pysyk @ 50% retention for a late 2nd/early 3rd. Package two of our three 3rds for a 2nd. Draft more C's and D with our 1st and two 2nds in a loaded draft.
I would still hold on to Hoff as a secondary offense as an insurance policy if Tippett's defensive awareness isn't at the required level for the NHL, although not at any cost.
However, I do think that Dale has to upgrade defense a bit but without touching the fwd group at this stage since the Cats aren't really that top heavy team when you look at it more closely. Troch plays like a low-end 3rd line C, both Boyle and Acciari are 4th line Cs that are asked to play 3rd line, even 2nd line role at times. (especially Boyle has accrued a decent chunk of points but he'll cool down sooner or later).
So keep Hoffman as a pure rental then?
How do you add to the defense then with barely any cap?
Youd have to add a 1st or a 2nd + prospect to Pysyk to get any sort of reasonable upgrade no?

Trade Trocheck for futures
Acquire a cheaper #2 center
Well Dale and the Calculator has pegged Ek, Yandle, Math and Stralman as the top4 core for the next few years as far as the cap structure is concerned. T.
Yeah. Just ask Buffalo how readily available and cheaply acquired a #2C is.Not realistic at all.
Kreider is a guy I would love to see on this team. He's exactly what we need more of up front.
I also don't see Yandle being moved before Matheson. Yandle is such a key part of the defense and a big locker room guy. Matheson still hasn't been all that impressive this year (although he is improving).
We may have to trade Borgstrom for some defensive help, or trade Trocheck and Matheson together for a d-man and a forward.
I think a trade is imminent at this point. DT knows he has a good team but a key piece or two is missing. He's not one to sit on his hands and wait until February.
Seems like you guys are pretty stacked on the wing in the NHL and in terms of prospects. What would a deal for Tippett look like from mn?
Do you guys want Bob?Twitter & FB for various people (LeBrun for one) has said that FLA is a potential destination for Hall. I've done a little bit of digging but can't find anything of substance to confirm this is even a possibility.
Anyone have something other than pure speculation?
