Thread: If I am Grier I do this everyday of the week
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letsgosharks</b></div></div>
Coutures comments aren’t exactly encouraging.

I want the dude to live a normal life outside hockey. And he’s got an injury that will never just go away. He said he thought about giving up last year and he said in the exits he wants to live a life outside hockey. I don’t see any signs to “believe” he’s going be a player next year. He could play a few games but I don’t want him to rehab/ train all summer - aggravate his injury - rehab / train again. For now I’m going to hope he can enjoy life with his family and see if he overcomes this.

Additionally even if Couture “plans to play” this needs to happen on / around draft day to make more sense.

We won’t have any true answers by then. But the Sharks having both Couture and Tavares in their middle-bottom 6 is a benefit not a problem for SJS. They’ll just both even help more with teaching the young team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RealKyleDubas</b></div><div>Might be misunderstanding how the buyout for JT works, but believe there is no incentive for Toronto to dump assets to offload him. A buyout would basically be a wash on the cap for the Leafs. So they would just do that. Then whoever wants him can sign him for less. Better for both teams.</div></div>

Toronto gains less than 1mil in cap savings… buying him it is the definition of pointless.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SNipeSHowInc</b></div><div>Leafs pass, he’s still a 65-70 point player. Is he worth 11 million? No. Is he useless and a player you NEED to trade away with assets? Also no</div></div>

The point in the Leafs wanting to move JT or Marner is to better utilize their cap. We’ve concluded this Leaf’s study. You’ve seen the ending.

The point of trading JT (Karlsson after 100points, a Norris, cementing his HOF status - only returned a first, and San Jose had to retain and eat Hoffmans dead weight contract + take on 5m x 2 years of Granlund (PIT considered that a dump too)…)

So JT at 11m will not give the leafs a postive value trade. It will be a dump situation plain and simple.

The goal is to let the Leafs sign:
UFA TOP4 D Man
UFA TOP Goalie
UFA Top Depth Player
+ more like keeping Domi and also Bertuzzi
+ still having money to spend.
+ You keep Marner

The goal is addition by subtraction
