Thread: RUN IT BACK FOR OPENING NIGHT WITH CRAIG BERUBE
I think Tanev gets $5 million on a 2 yr deal, $4.5 sounds good if you want to commit to 4 yrs.

I don't think you can give Liljgren a 2 yr deal, I believe that'll end in UFA as he'd be 27 yrs old at the end of that contract.

I give both Robertson and Dewar a contract under $1.15 million on short term because that is the max amount a player can get buried in the Ahl with without a cap penalty' like Reaves and McMann would be 200K to bury.

I guess we should look at ex Flames or ex Blues players to reunite with Trev and Berube. I was hoping Ex Flame/Leaf Riititch would hit UFA but he's staying a King.

Robertson is on the bubble, hard to imagine he fit into a Berube style of game.

I too hope a rookie makes the team, the competitiveness of rookies usually keeps the vets on their toes.

Thread: Marners buyout
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stavros99</b></div><div>This is a prime example of why we can't have nice things in Toronto. Fans and media here can be the absolute worst. While his choice of words might not have been perfect, anyone with half a brain should see he was trying to say something positive about how much love players get here, not implying in any way that he's God lol. It's crazy that some fans are jumping all over him for this.

This team has had an embarrassment of riches in talent like we've never seen in Leafs history. It's beyond idiotic to want to tear it all down for stupidity. Other changes, like coaching adjustments and improving the defense and other minor changes, will more than suffice to get this team over the hump. Trading away superstar talent because of some dumb sound bite taken way out of context is beyond cray cray.</div></div>

What gets me is the fans that believe if the Leafs can fully get rid of Marner's $11 million salary they can spend it all on 2 or 3 depth players.

Though let's be honest, if the Leafs trade Marner, the opposing team would have to cash dump a mid price star player and Nylander's $4 million raise will eat up the annual team salary cap hit raise we are finally getting. So in reality trading Marner would only gives the Leafs $5-$6 million to spend on upgrades in other areas while getting weaker on RW depth.

Anyhow fans hate the whole quantity over quality theory, yet that is exactly what these fans want&gt;?
