Confirmed with Link: [TBL/OTT] Ryan Callahan & a 2020 5th rd pick for Mike Condon and a 2020 6th rd pick

[DatDude44]

So Toronto acquires Clarkson for the LTIR space. We trade Callahan for cap space. Can someone more enlightened than me explain the difference? Is it just Toronto taking a gamble while we're going the safer route?

I think it’s Toronto taking a gamble sort of vs your safest route. The thing with LTIR is it can’t be used unless your at the ceiling(or some specific number close to the cap ceiling)

So I think the reason toronto did is they’re at the point where signing marner puts them “at the ceiling or slightly above” allowing them to LTIR Clarkson, whereas I’m assuming points impending contract would put u way over the cap where even an LTIR’d Callahan still doesn’t get you under?

Or something where maybevthey couldn’t LTIR cally because they won’t be at the allowable number u need to bevatvto utilize LTIR.

Idk I’m just blindly throwing darts at this pojnt

Domingue was a funny guy, but he wasn't exactly good when Vasi went down. He wasn't even decent, he was awful. People point out his W/L ratio and say he was good but they forget that we averaged 4 goals per game during that period.

I point that out and I have not forgotten. He did better than his job. Aren’t wins what matter for a backup?

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

We still need a legit top 4 RHD who is playing with hedman?

Looks like it will most likely be Sergachev playing with Hedman.

I sure hope Sergy takes a MAJOR step forward this season.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

I guess this answers where we get the cap to sign point. And hopefully have some leftover to add a piece

It may sound crazy, but this is the age/season that Hedmonster took a it leap forward. Look for Serge to go 20/20 possibly. With some great +3 games. (I hope)

We have cap room for Point's contract without Callahan's LITR. Agreed that we're going a safer route. Whereas the Leafs need the LITR space to sign Marner. We don't need it, so it's safer to dump the contract.

They're very different players though. Sergachev doesn't have Hedman's skillset, although he has a great skillset of his own. I don't think he's ever really projected to be a #1 the way Hedman always was. Agreed that Sergachev should put it all together, but I don't see him having a big #1 type season. Hard to score 20 as a Dman with such limited PP time.

I think we will at the trade deadline.

He's replacing our PP2 player to give Hedmonster some rest. This is the make or break year. I bet he shows up. Too much raw talent no to.

I don't think it's the make or break year. I think that's still a ways off. He could break out this year though, yeah. We're obviously hoping for that. I'm not sure how he's giving Hedman a rest though.

If I see rutta or schenn with Hedman on the top pair I’m gonna To fully lose it on cooper!

 

[JoVel]

He seemed to me like an average back-up. He was terrible when the starts piled up, but decent when he was just playing the odd game. Sometimes great. And we could usually count on him for a big save late. That said, I think a lot of teams will look at 21-5 and try him out in a 1B role.

Yeah, he was good when he was that, a backup. But when he was forced to be the starter he sucked, hard.

At this point Todd, if you see Cooper chewing gum you're going to totally lose it on Cooper. LOL I have a feeling EVERYTHING about Cooper is going to annoy some people until we raise the cup.

TML fan here, congratulations on another amazing move by your brass. My question to the TBL fans is this now that you have 11 million dollars worth of space does Point sign a bridge or does he also get another 9.5 million dollar deal?

I’ve gone on cap friendly and while you would certainly be fine this year next years cap situation is pretty dicey. Obviously there would be an entire offseason to make moves but seeing as almost every other TBL player has signed a bridge before cashing in do you think Point will go for that?

 

[These Are The Days]

Sergachev, Schenn or Rutta with Hedman is a potential disaster waiting to happen

Next year is tougher than this year for sure, but we have a lot NTCs that become a lot more relaxed.

I think this deal is a sign Point is close. Callahan's LTIR was a safety net, and now we don't need it, IMO.

20 goals for any D is rare.

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Sergachev going 20/20 lmao

 

[BeingTheThunder]

Sergachev going 20/20 lmao

I'd be thrilled to see him get 10-12 goals... have high hopes he'll be able to push 30 assists though..

 

[LTIR Trickery]

If he could give us 5-9g/20-25a season next year, that will be a massive success.

Things being what they are, I bought out Palat next offseason the last time I made an honest attempt at filling out the roster. I'm not sure how the extensions are here (too much/too little?)
