Proposal: Rumours & Proposals Thread | Lots of Balls.

Jesus christ.

There’s proposals and then there’s whatever the f*** you’re trying to do.

 

[oobga]

So, with the Leaves signing two of their guys, you have to think that really sets up an offer sheet. Capfriendly has the with less that $7 million in space. They risk going over the buffer allowance if they sign Marner.

7M of space with 5D signed and Marner outstanding.

Dump Zaitsev, and they have 12.5M of space to sign Marner and 3 more D to fill out the roster. Only vets left would be Rielly and Muzzin on their D.

Should be interesting!

That said, those are pretty good contracts for Kapanen and Johnsson.

You say assumption, the reality of the statement is "My Hope is", this isn't true and shouldn't be considered true. If anything they should sign both to extensions soon.

Guy has one sick obsession with getting rid of Nurse.

Guy has one sick obsession with getting rid of Nurse.

He's been similar about Nuge for just as long, but he really hates Nurse.

Yeah well Nurse shouldn't have blown kisses at DeBrincat four years ago.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

This year, given the cap, the UFA/RFAs, the rumours, it feels like a dam is about to break

 

[Raab]

To be fair Marner is a hell of a winger. And I’m hoping that Nurse signs a 5.25Mx8 extension next week so I can stop putting him in trade proposals.

They also have hortons LTIR to use.

I don’t see anyone taking zaitsev.

They have like 12.2m with the LTIR for 5 players, 1 of them being marner.

Some leafs fans seem to think they can just run a roster of 20 during the season and just call up people as needed.

That won’t stop you, that just means we’ll have to hear you complain about him for 8 more years while putting him in every trade proposal.

 

[Draiskull]

I believe Marner and Mcdavid are friends. And I haven’t heard of him not wanting to play in Western Canada. Dermott and Mcdavid grew up together. I think paying Marner 10.5Mx8 would set us up long term. If we can keep RNH and make the deal.

HoSang is also a friend, Brown has a connection, Simmonds works out with McD @ biosteel, Burakovsky old teammate.
All of that means nothing.
Nurse and Nuge are his friends as well and Oilers are in no position to get rid of "underpaid" players to overpay for a winger.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Yeah well Nurse shouldn't have blown kisses at DeBrincat four years ago.

Or iced the puck in game 32 last year.

Can’t win with players like that.

Well he's going to get more then that, but that's not what's amusing.

Marner is a hell of winger, but the Oilers would have be in a dramatically different cap position to get him. The Avs seem primed to make that work.

 

[Del Preston]

Good grief. They really are in their own little fantasy world over there.

Friedman suggested/reported the Leafs may offer Marner a two-year contract worth $16M and then sign him to a max deal after the next TV contract. I'm sure Marner is just itching to pass on $50M+ and risk injury for the next two seasons.

TO is the home of load management.

 

[HeavyHitter99]

I’m surprised there hasn’t been any talk of us being interested in Dzingel or Panik. Dzingel will likely be cheaper than Nyquist who is almost 30 and coming off a career year.

Panik seems like an obvious player for us to look at. His numbers aren’t as good as when he signed his last contract so I doubt he gets a raise on his 2.8 million. He’s a consistent 15 goals and 35 points a season.

Donskoi at ~3.25-3.5 and Panik at around ~2.8 sounds fairly realistic for us and would help us more than than the 4 million that Connolly is likely going to get

 

[YakDavid]

Can’t win with players like that.

Nurse probably tried a breakout pass that game. Thats not what our defense do. It's ring it around the boards or nothing

I hope Marner isn’t that stupid.

Ehhhh, I would have just kept Soderberg.

We can make Marner work long term if we want to. My thing with Nurse is that he’s not signed long term. I don’t mind him staying as long as he’s signed to a deal where we can keep him in that #3 slot, because that’s where I see him down the road with this team.

 

[Soli]

Friedman saying he could see Connolly being a frequent guest on Stauffers show.

 

[Soundwave]

To be fair Marner is a hell of a winger. And I’m hoping that Nurse signs a 5.25Mx8 extension next week so I can stop putting him in trade proposals.

His agent would be stupid to accept that. Trouba is getting like $7.5+ per this year, the cap will be higher next year.

 

[Little Fury]

McDavid is building a large house here. He's not going anywhere.

You can sell a house. Hell, when you make $12.5 million a year you could just abandon it if you wanted to.

 

[Soundwave]

On the assumption RNH and Nurse don’t want to be here long term. Would you do RNH+Nurse for Marner+Dermott?

Edit: Or even better, with Marners hold out situation. We trade Nurse+Lucic(1.5M retained)+1st for Marner+Dermott? Leafs then retain 1.5M and flip Lucic again.

I'm sorry, but this is kind of annoying me, can we stop inventing narratives out of nowhere. There's zero indication at all that RNH and Nurse not wanting to be here other than you bringing it up. We got enough on our plate as is, thanks.
