Hallmark time let's f***ing go

Hope we can add a solid depth defenseman as well.

This was a good move and can work well if Nash is healthy and contributing come playoffs. Otherwise cost a 7th a year from now which does not matter really.

Ideally we can get a solid bottom pairing guy (the guy from the ducks a lot of people here have been mentioning) and have sandin/Lilijgren/rosen/marincin be the 8-11 options

 

[Chief keefe]

This is a really good move. This is a huge precursor move that I did not see coming but Sounds like hall and Ulmark might be leafs very soon!

 

[Jozay]

Big move for the press box

 

[great]

It’s Hall

 

[Teeder Keon]

LTIR shenanigans intensify

Its the “Brendon Shananigan “ plan

 

[supermann_98]

Basically an LTIR move with the possibility of him being a warm body in the playoffs.

I see that too so I’m curious to see how we also gain cap space for him.

Anybody can explain it in layman terms to me? I’d like to understand how we’re gaining cap space, when we’re not dumping salary in return? A 7th round pick we’re giving up counts as zero on the cap. I’m a dumbo when it comes to the cap so please no condescending responses

Excellent that we have the guy who basically wrote the CBA ... whether it was Shanny or Dubas or Lou who brought in Pridholm .... props

 

[ShaneFalco]

I liked him to. Would’ve liked him more if he didn’t cost so much or if we could’ve retained him at least.

It was a steep price for 20 ish games

 

[stickty111]

Dubas is not messing around if he is traded. He signed him to a 3 year contract in the summer.

 

[Marshy]

The Dube abides!

 

[BertCorbeau]

Nash is a great depth playoff add and the cap space is gravy

 

[Teeder Keon]

It’s Hall

Monty?

 

[supermann_98]

Boyle wasn't the problem. The cost to get him was.

I hear that so it would’ve definitely been nice if we could’ve retained him at that price, and cut the fat elsewhere

I see what your sneaky mind did there ....
Niiiiiiice!

If a player goes on LTIR, it frees up that player's capspace to use on another player.

Doesn't look like Nash will play until the playoffs, when the cap doesn't matter. So we get that room to use for the rest of the season.

Cap space and a player you can build a checking line around we got for dirt cheap, a lot of wins for us in this one

Morgan Riley Nash and Young

Sidney Crosby to the Leafs confirmed

I am really digging Riley Nash on our team for the playoffs. Wicked penalty killer and very stout defensively.

 

[Burnie97]

Sidney Crosby to the Leafs confirmed

I saw them open up for Tom Petty one time... they're still pretty good. Petty was obviously unreal.

I know this trade thread is going sideways lol

The perfect depth player.

 

[CelticDruid]

We've finally landed R. Nash from CBJ!

I remember him from that playoff series against Boston. He has a streak going of making the playoffs too. No cap worries by then either, so... Not much to complain about for a pick hopefully to be in the sixth round. (*if he plays in 25% of our playoff games)

Yeah, he was good in the F/O if I remember right.

Awesome now I understand,thanks! Let’s buy aaalllll the LTIR UFA contracts then. A 7th rounder here, a 7th rounder there.

Our management group schools everyone when it comes to daily tip toeing the cap and it’s glorious

Basically we acquire his cap hit, put him on the LTIR, use his cap space and when he's healthy again during the playoffs we can reactivate him where there is no salary cap. So our playoff roster will be over the cap limit, but our regular season roster won't be.
