Sometimes miracles
Or at least GagnerNow that's a team I could see taking Lucic off our hands

I don't know I'd do Russell, Gagner and puljujarvi for risto and sobodkaLol I wonder why...
MacT picked him because of his points. The most idiotic bum could've done that...Broberg was a reach, Lavoie was a steal, Russian goalie looks very decent.
Overall I give Holland’s first draft a 7/10, night challenge hangs the next 2-3 years
Verbal agreement to not trade him I guess? Also his value is at an all time low after being a complete bum in the playoffs.I don't understand why the Leafs don't just trade Nylander. Even after moving Marleau they're still ****ed. If you move a 1st to unload Marleau it's taking a hell of a lot more for Zaitsev. Nylander can bring you back a cheap top 4 defenseman. You can sign all of Marner, Kapanen and Johnsson but you're still going to have terrible D and no room to add.
Because Dubas was too smart, he's so smart he's in the position he is nowI don't understand why the Leafs don't just trade Nylander. Even after moving Marleau they're still ****ed.

True but every other GM galaxy brains their way into a bad pick most of the time so it’s still unexpected technically lolMacT picked him because of his points. The most idiotic bum could've done that...

That doesn’t get you zucker.What about below? Gonna be hard to fill the 5/6 holes on this roster in one summer
Deal 1
Jesse Puljujarvi (rights) & Kris Russell ($4M x 2) for Jason Zucker ($5.5M x 4)
Deal 2
Lucic ($6M x 4) for Loui Erickson ($6M x 3)
Deal 3
Brandon Manning ($2.25 x 1) for James Reimer ($3.4M x 2)
$2,200,000 in cap space - doesn't get us to playoffs but deals with a couple problems and next summer money comes off books. Can expect Bouchard to be ready and figure out a landing spot for Sekera/Loui next summer with 1 & 2 years left on their deals.
29-97-44
Loui-93-Zucker
Nygaard-Marody-Gagner
Gamberdella-JJ-Cave
77-6
25-83
2-Jones
Persson
Koskinen
Reimer
First off Marner is clearly going to be a much harder negotiation those two, second if you have two guys who are willing to sign what I think everyone would agree are pretty reasonable and maybe even underpaid contracts and prevent them being open to RFA offersheets it isn't a bad thing. Just cause you got a checklist of 5-6 things to do, doesn't mean you can't check anything else off the list cause you didn't get priority #1 done and if you need to trade one of those two to make space later (or almost immediately) it should be pretty easy tied to those contracts.They are completely *****, I don’t know why Dubas can’t part with any of those guys. Why resign essentially Kapenen and Johnsson before Marner? Get Marner done, which will be high. Then flip one ofthose 2 for number 4-5 d and help your depth back there. They are going to probably have to get Marner around 11, then tie another 7 into those 2. There forward group has to be among the most expensive in the NHL by like over 10M at that point. Gardiner will walk and they will have nothing to play d
You've seen Fenton's trade history right? Fiala for Granlund, Nino Niederreiter for Viktor Rask?That doesn’t get you zucker.
I like Zucker and would want him, but $5.5M for 45-ish points that he put up in 2 of the last 3 seasons makes him a bit risky and not necessarily the most frugal choice with our limited cap dollars, obviously he returns to 30+ goal form and no one is complaining about $5.5M, but he's only done that once in his career and his 2nd best season wasn't close to that mark.You've seen Fenton's trade history right? Fiala for Granlund, Nino Niederreiter for Viktor Rask?
Zucker is getting moved for sure this week, be a fantastic wing addition with his speed & 20G guy
Got out? A first is getting off well now? I love reading things in retrospect. It makes me able to pretend I’m smart. It’s nice to read how stoked people were over Lavoie knowing it had happened.Wish we could move Lucic for anything. Cant believe Toronto got out of Marleau.
