Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign Alexander Barabanov to 1 year ELC
- Thread starter Cor
- Start date
that’s not how those % work though? If you add Matthews and JT ozone starts together it’s 112% obviously you can’t have more ozone starts in a game than 100%
ozone starts are relative to the player themselves ie: Matthews starts 59% ozone and 41% dzone
I get your point about the marner being overpaid, I think it’s closer to $2m personally, but AJ is not that great a player and actually maybe overpaid a bit himself. I’m happy to move AJ while he still has value even if marner was on his elc

No, he's saying that 90% of the time the Leafs have an O-zone start, it's the Matthews or Tavares line out there. In other words, the 3rd and 4th lines aren't getting o-zone starts.
That's the way I understood it anyways.
I see Engvall as 3rd line center and bye bye Kerfoot.
but if that where the case then Gauthier’s ozone starts would be way lower than 29%, the lowest in the team by quite a long margin in fact the rest are in the 40s for %. this is for all players who played at least 40 games. If you lower it to 39 games you can add timashov at 32%. All other forwards are minimum 43% ozone starts that is 11 forwards who played 39 or more games out of 70 games have at least 43% ozone starts

not very often are you going to find 45 point players willing to take less than 3 million. I think we will find that this is quite a good contract over the next few years, especially if he can make this into 50+ point seasons. If you look at players in the 40-50 point area of 2018-19 (and there are a lot of them) the only ones making less than johnsson are guys on ELC or guys like Brett Connolly who was really needing to take a cheap contract to prove himself in that point of his career. And kapanen). Pretty much everyone else is getting more mostly between 3.5-6m
Toronto Maple Leafs News: Latest on pursuit of Alex Barabanov, contract negotiations with Ilya Mikheyev
On the NHL sweepstakes for Alexander Barabanov’s services:
He has narrowed his search down to two teams. The cat is out of the bag: It’s the Arizona Coyotes and the Toronto Maple Leafs. I would like to thank both of the organizations; they have been first class over the last three years talking to Alexander. Mike Babcock, when he was still the head coach, made the trip to Russia to see him. Kyle Dubas and John Chayka have been to Russia numerous times to watch him and have meetings over the last two years. It has been a long process. This past week, we have had numerous FaceTime conversations with not only the General Managers but the head coaches. The owners of the teams were on the call making the final pitch to Alex and his wife to select their team.
On how close Barabanov is to a final decision:
We are very close. We are down to the final stretch. He has obviously had plenty of time over the years to communicate with a number of teams. If you recall at the Worlds in May of last year, he played with Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Kuznetsov on the same line. He has had plenty of opportunities to play with and against NHL players over the years. He has had plenty of time to speak to teams. I am hopeful that over the next couple of days — maybe a week or so — he will narrow it down to one team and will enter into contract negotiations, which I don’t expect to last more than five minutes because Alex will be signing a one-year entry-level contract.

That's different news than what the clownface Dreger stated a few weeks ago. Someone tweeted Leafs and Coyotes being the finalists and Dreger had to come over the top to say that there are "20+ teams involved".
Okay Darren.

It doesn't seem so. Seems it's still Leafs and Coyotes as was initially reported.
Hmm..

I guess I misunderstood, thought you meant '20 + teams' reported a 'few weeks ago' and now it's down to 2.

Yotes would probably have an advantage as far as opportunity and ice time to give him but we would have the edge with everything else.
I would agree that AJ and his $3.5 million will likely be on the way out if he signs with us. I like Engvall but he didn't show me 3 Rd line C last year. I doubt it's Kerfoot unless the piece coming back is decent. Dubas won't want Kadri egg on his face.
I don't think so... all of Dreger's "reports" involve facts that everyone already knows... except for the stuff that he just makes up that is.
If we can download AJ and Kerfoot maybe we can truly add to our defense to make us a better team. But totally get your point about egg on face. I am hoping Dubie can get beyond his ego. Sometimes bad trades happen. He will not be da first or da last.

Strange that someone that is apparently thought so little of, is constantly being used as a source of information.
How do we tell the difference between what 'he just makes up' and what is real?

Pretty simple. If his mouth is moving and sounds are coming out, he's making it up.

Not sure he is "constantly" used as a source of information. I do see him being mocked however.
I definitely don't consider him a source of anything.
