<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Britishbulldog</b></div><div>I'm really not trying to feed the "it's possible to trade Tavares BEAST" but I was thinking that a 3rd team would probably take 50% retention for $5.5 MIL of a Cap Hit but only $0.455 in salary for a 4th or 5th Detroit pick. Easy way for a rebuilding team to add a draft pick and extremely cheap for the pocket book.

Detroit gets an elite faceoff man who will probably score 30 goals and the Leafs get some depth pieces and $11 MIL of Cap Space back. Oh no! I am feeding the "trade BEAST"</div></div>

If Tavares would waive I agree they'd give him away for a small price just to get that cap back and make some changes to the line up. If you could get him retained for like 4 million for something like a 2nd rounder and a blah prospect I'd sure do it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Britishbulldog</b></div><div>There is a glaring and obvious issue with this lineup...

...you have Dermott and Brown back on it.

I mean it's over $4 MIL above the Cap...and I don't like Dermott or Brown</div></div>

Yep

0 need for Laughton, Dewar has played 3c and there's an opportunity to create a fun third line with him in the future.


Dermott and Brown ew

Overpay Lybushkin and Samsonov...WHY


Its just wasted cap here and there.


Better solution is this

Give Robertson, Benoit, and Dewar reasonable extensions (based on comparables 1m x 2 years). Liligren (if he stays) 2.75m x 3 years

Go get 2 good FA targets (Roy 6m x 6 years and Demelo 4.6m x 5 years)

Rielly-Demelo
McCabe-Roy
Benoit-Liligren


Then bring back McMann


B6 = Knies-Dewar-McMann / Holmberg-Kampf-Jarnkrok

Thread: Marner Must Go
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dave26</b></div><div>Marner is signed for one more year. Tkachuk has 4 more years and a very reasonable contract for what he brings. Hockey is not just about points. Brady is physical and a great leader and makes players around him better and doesn’t have the talent around him that Marner does. Marner is playing with the best goal scorer in the league. <strong>Brady plays the better overall game and isn’t a defensive liability. </strong>Brady is a point per game player who brings a lot of other qualities to the game too. He’s a great leader. And I’m sure if he was playing with Matthews he’d have a ton of assists as well. So your comment tells me all you know about hockey is what you read on the stats line.</div></div>

"Brady plays the better overall game and isn’t a defensive liability." this line makes your last line hilarious. Marner is way better defensively and is an elite penalty killer. he is the much better 200 foot player. dont think its close either
