Unprotected and without lube.

What are you putting in your drink that requires lube?

What are you putting in your drink that requires lube?

4 cl vodka, 2 cl peach schnapps, 4 cl orange juice and 4 cl cranberry juice

That IS lube.

After careful consideration, I’d rather suck than give the Toronto fans the satisfaction of even a fair trade. If we don’t win the trade in the manner of Hall-Larson, screw them and the high horse they rode in on.

Considering who is in charge these days I’m fully expecting to end up on the Larsson side. Without a doubt.

Yeah, don’t remind me...

5 years, $40.5M offer sheet. Pay the 1st+2nd+3rd or set Toronto up for pain the next couple of years.

Yeah, I’d seriously consider that. I think Aho is worth more anyway, so I wouldn’t be too worried about him, but TT would be hard to sign reasonably given he had the same numbers last year.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Play it safe...

 

[dogbazinho]

I wish we'd offer sheet him. You reach a point where two teams are ideal trade partners and if they continue to be unwilling to make a trade, then will they ever be? Who cares if we ruin that relationship if there is never going to be one in the first place.

I understand the urgency due to the 9-year drought. Still, I see parallels with Winnipeg from 3 years ago. I mention this because Winnipeg hasn't really traded. They did rent Statsny last year.

Svechnikov isn't having the rookie season that Laine did. But he is starting to look like an NHL goal scorer. I was convinced before the season that Aho was a 1C and I honestly believe for the next 6-8 years (GET HIM SIGNED) his production will be comparable to Scheifele. Teravainen often gets criticized for not being tough/dominant when he is on the ice. However, his numbers are strikingly similar to Blake Wheeler's at the same age. Given his success in international play and last season, TT looks like a 45-50 assist player for quite a few seasons. Necas, while a center, has Ehlers-like speed. In the juniors, Mattheos is showing exciting goal-scoring skills.

Based on the parallels to the Jets, the missing piece is a top-flight sniper. A player who can turn Aho's and Teravainen's passes into one-timers, especially on the power play. That should be the focus of a trade--although having watched most of the Checkers games it is possible that Kuokannen could develop into that player. His one-timer on the power play has definitely improved.

The parallels aren't perfect, but for me they help see that the Canes are getting closer to being in the playoffs and then being a serious contender.

*I know--goaltending.

Yeahhhh goaltending. We ain’t got not no Hellebuyck.

But I do really see the similarities with us and Winnipeg outside of the goaltending.

 

[Lempo]

HFJets certainly were not happy about the goalie situation two years back. Hellebuyck clicked together all of the sudden, he didn't look like an answer to anything in the previous seasons.

Steve Mason was signed as UFA at $8.3M/2y on July 1st, 2017 to be the man in the Jets.

 

[Tryamw]

Price with three million retained and a first for Svechnikov.

Finish your drink

I just had grabbed the container I'm $@##$ed...

The only justification Leafs fans have in insisting RFA holdout William Nylander needs Pesce + to even get the conversation started is Hall for Larsson.

I don't know if Dundon is willing to give Nylander a lockout proof contract though ($ for that year in signing bonuses).

Who do we think are comparables of the recent RFAs? Draisaitl got $7M in signing bonus and $2M in regular salary for both '20-'21 and '22-'23, but we are not thinking of him obviously. Nylander probably is.

 

[Brock Anton]

Hamilton + Svechnikov for Nylander.

I think we've found the holy grail.

 

[NotOpie]

The last 4 or 5 pages of that Nylander thread contained some of the most one-sided trade suggestions that I've ever seen on this board.

 

[HisIceness]

Hamilton + Svechnikov for Nylander.

I think we've found the holy grail.

Going to have to add our first and one of Buffalos picks we got for Skinner. Probably throw in Roy too

 

[Chrispy]

Hamilton + Svechnikov for Nylander.

I think we've found the holy grail.

I've been waiting a long time for the right "offer" to use this one on.

 

[Mathios]

Peshy can't get Nylander anymore because...

"HE HAS INJURY CONCERNS. "

INJURY. CONCERNS.

Is Brett Pesce a concussion away from being ded?

discuss

 

[Tryamw]

TML fans don't want to trade Nylander. I get it. But their version of a fair trade atm is Kadri for McDavid. I won't take them to seriously . Some of their offers they wouldn't consider if you flipped the score.

 

[Svechhammer]

After seeing what happened with the Jimmy Butler situation in the NBA this weekend, part of me says we might be able to wait them out.

But then again, Toronto is playing well, so they don't have to panic like Minnesota did.

This thread died since we have a player specific one now to catch it all.

Yeah, I am not going to even read that thread, I saw salty Leafs posters are going there, no need for more cancer in my life
