An active list (more names to join it)

Could you imagine Kostin decides to not sign with Detroit, goes back to Edmonton at 900k, and Yzerman literally just going:

It would be, truly, amazing

Bring the bro in. Seriously, Michael McLeod would be a very good 4C

 

[Paralyzer]

Hmmmm....I wonder if we try to sign both McLeods now....

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Also Bastian could replace some of Kostin's game

[Old Boys Club]

Geekie would be a great add, probably too expensive though.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

man, an absolute whack of good young players are hitting the market tomorrow now with all these players not qualified.

No excuse to not grab a couple of them and improve this team.

Agreed, I wonder if a few guys in Kassian's situation hang'em up after a few days as a UFA

 

[McAsuno]

There’s a lot of quality players that are heading to the UFA market now for the bottom 6. Ken Holland has a great opportunity to get some of them. Daniel Sprong especially would be ideal

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Holland needs to earn his Pay tomorrow with everyone becoming available.

There are going to be a lot of players looking to sign cheap 1 year deals on contenders, hoping to cash in with the rise in cap. The other contenders will be taking advantage of this.

What this might do, is lower the risk of Brown going somewhere else. With what's out there now, who's going to still jump to give him 12m?

 

[brentashton]

And by Leafs , they also mean Oilers.

It’s the same around here for the most part. That’s part of the fun I guess.

 

[McAsuno]

gimme sprong

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Zack MacEwen wasn't qualified either, I know a bunch on this board like him

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I'd have time for Sprong.

 

[duul]

Stauffer banging the drum that Broberg will play RD.


I want Broberg to breakout this year because I know a lot of fans will hate it at first if that happens

You think a lot of fans will be hate that one of our prospects has developed into a breakout defenceman?

 

[McBooya42]

Both players hit superstar levels of fandom here. Reminded me of the Marincin mania of 2015

Good point, and fairly made.

 

[Cerebral]

Michael McLeod would be a perfect 4th line centreman. He had a productive playoff run and he was over 60% in the faceoff circle with almost 1000 draws (he would have been 2nd in the entire NHL if he qualified - I suspect 1000 draws was the cut-off and he had 968). For comparison, Ryan McLeod was only at 48%.

Add Brown and McLeod and I'm optimistic for next year.

 

[McDNicks17]

Me thinks the NHLPA is regretting negotiating that hard for arbitration now.

 

[McBooya42]

Any truth to this rumour stuff?

Sigh ..RNH not going anywhere unless he wants to. Why do peeps keep forgetting this?

 

[K1984]

Me thinks the NHLPA is regretting negotiating that hard for arbitration now.

It’s literally killing player’s careers while simultaneously lowering the quality of the league.

Mason Shaw didn't get a QO either.

He's a guy I'd love. Alberta boy from Wainwright. Smallish(5'9'' 180lbs), but he's a spark plug. He'd be a great #4LW/C.

 

[McAsuno]

How shocking the leafs and including “oh no Edmonton is interested, let me be involved too” in Treliving. f*** off leafs.

 

[Arpeggio]

I would pivot away from Brown if he's going to cost more than Sprong.
