I'm surprised Josh Bailey isn't signed to a PTO, I remember them saying on sportsnet during free agent Frenzy to watch for Josh Bailey and.Toronto.

Granted nobody including the Leafs probably thought they'd get both Bertuzzi and Domi but still why not bring in some competition for Lafferty?

Camp is around the corner, time for a fresh thread.

Join the traverse city thread. It will be used for the series of games this week.

Josh Baily is a failed player, by some reports problematic premadonna without the talent.

Josh Baily is a failed player, by some reports problematic premadonna without the talent.

He's been an NHL regular for years, he's clearly not a failed player.

That would be a guy worth a look.

Anyone think Treliving has a move up his sleeve before the season starts or is the roster pretty much set before camp even opens?

I don't have any expectations pre camp aside from maybe another PTO or two.
I think any trades or anything are more like to happen in November or maybe we snag someone interesting off the waiver wire or something.

I'd agree with that, roster is pretty much set.

Scratch Bailey

Ottawa Senators sign veteran forward Josh Bailey to professional tryout contract | TSN

The Ottawa Senators have signed veteran forward Josh bailey to a professional tryout contract, the team announced on Thursday.

[Niagara Bill]

He's been an NHL regular for years, he's clearly not a failed player.

Totally under performed, dropped from a 1st line guy to 4th line as his lack of training concentration grew.

 

[ACC1224]

Guessing Kane goes home to Buffalo to finish out his career.

 

[TMLAM34]

Also a little surprised we didn’t give Bailey a PTO but at the same time his skating is too slow and not what we need in the bottom six.

 

[The Iceman]

Would be nice to add a vet defensive D.
Jason Demers
Sami Vatanen
Ethan Bear

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Waiting for Treliving's first trade as a Leafs GM.

Yeah they may be a little thin on the bottom end. Who would any of these guys jump ahead of?

 

[rumman]

I still think 88 gets moved, Lindholm and Zardov for 88 and a small +, but could just be wishful thinking…….

Guessing Kane goes home to Buffalo to finish out his career.

One interesting cap loophole may help the Leafs sign Patrick Kane to a 1-year deal​

With NHL training camps set to open this weekend, we're about to see the Patrick Kane chatter begin to pick up again. A couple of short weeks ago, Kane revealed that he would begin entertaining offers during training camp and the preseason, and there are expected to be plenty of potential suitors for the 3-time Stanley Cup champion. He may not sign, however, until November or December, as was originally projected in his 4-6 month recovery timeline.

During a recent appearance on TSN 1050, former NHLer Dave Poulin revealed that, as long as Kane is cleared to return and that his hip issues are behind him, he expects the Maple Leafs to be one of the primary teams who will look to enlist Kane's services. The problem here is that the Leafs are currently over the salary cap by nearly $3M. So how can the Leafs afford Kane if he's not willing to take a league minimum deal? Well, the answer isn't as complicated as some might think.

Kane is turning 35 years old on November 19th. If he does wish to sign in Toronto and if he opts to remain unsigned through the month of October and the front half of November, he'll be able to ink a 35+ contract as of November 19th. If he does that, the Leafs could, in theory, offer him a 35+ contract for the remainder of this season at $775K, which is the league's minimum salary, and then tack on performance bonuses.

How would this work? Well, his base salary would be $775K this season. This would remain his cap hit no matter how many performance bonuses he hit. Let's say, for example, the Leafs offered Kane his $775K salary, plus an extra $1M if he plays in at least half of their games this season (41 games). Then they could tack on an extra $1M if he reaches the 50-point plateau. Then they could tack on an extra $1M if Kane produces 20 goals. In this situation, Kane's total salary will end up being $3.775M for this season, all while carrying a $775K cap hit.

Interesting. Feel pretty old realizing Kane is 35, where does the time go?

..and then that bonus is tagged onto our cap for the following season, when Matthews and potentially Nylanders extensions kick in. Would be tough this year and next without trades.

That leaves a little extra time to trade Nylander and free up Kane's jersey for him

Interesting. Feel pretty old realizing Kane is 35, where does the time go?

I was just about to say the same thing. I don't even want to know the age of Sid the Kid or Ovie anymore.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Gambrell
Timmins
Jones
Benoit

All worth discussing. All question marks. Timmins is the biggest question mark to me. I don't see him as our first call-up, nor do i see him in the bottom pairing. I could be wrong though.

Timmins won't make it through waivers to be called up.

Something has to happen to get under the cap. Unless they go 11-7 to open the season I guess.
