Something

Just jumping the bandwagon while bored at work

you could make the case that this is a better team ….

The only reason an offer sheet is more prevalent now is because the leafs have every piece of their roster put together other then Mitch. Therefore other teams know how much the leafs can spend on him, that is why teams are now putting together their deals for Mitch but if anyone is willing to pay the 4 1st round picks then be my guest, Aho is arguably a better player and signed for 2 million less then that …

This would be one of if not THE best defense in the league.

Our top 6 would also be in the top 1/3rd of the league and we have a vezina caliber goalie.

The only question mark is the bottom 6. Otherwise this is a cup winning lineup!

Dont need to explain to me, thx, i much awered why those rumours are flying around now.

But to be honest as much i would hate to lose the kid and striping Tavares off a good playmaker, Team is far more balanced like that. And i even havent touched any of those 1sts, which hurts me, cause im claiming the ones till 2022 arent needed at all......

Blues probably going to try and extend him for being captain mostly, but being pretty solid when it counts the most. Maybe they sign and trade him, but you won't get him in UFA. You would probably be trading for him...

Backers and Pietrangelo are completely different players and situations, but I think they have proven that they will let a player walk, despite the letter on their jersey, if it doesn’t fit for them.

But Pietrangelo does fit soo...

The point was that they aren’t going to give him a token signing just because of a letter.

Ye proly, but thats always an IF, cause if it would be everything so sure, FA wouldnt be the thing anymore.....and Tavares wouldnt be in TML....you know where im going.....

I would love to throw 3 x 1st for him if you re-sign him, cause i can play like its no tomorrow with those 1sts now......or we can go for Spurgeon, who MIN will also proly try to re-sign, but might go to try the Free Agency, same as Pietrangelo could....

Ask would be Liljegren a 1st Bracco probably.

let muzzin walk and sign dermott, cheaper and younger

You have enough youngsters in Offence already, time to bring some maturity to the Team on the possitions where prudence matters.....

so what happens to dermott?

The D is set, right ?

so you create :

Package 1 : Dermott & 1st 2020 (whoever)
Package 2 : 1st 2021 (TOR) & 1st 2021 (whoever)
or similar

and you go for kids like Greenway, Eriksson-Ek, Wallmark, Andersson, Rasmussen and similar, so kids that will fill for under 1M and will replace Kapanen and Johnsson and Kerfoot after......

Where is Dermott?

You underpaid Muzzin

That team better win soon because in about 3 years Tavares, Barrie, and Pietrangelo contracts may be looking pretty ugly

The Blues, will resign him. I've never traded for Pietrangelo, or Parayko, or signed Pietrangelo because I know the Blues will keep them, they'd/you'd be crazy not too. You guys got a great team and will likely/ hopefully keep it together, as you have proven that you are Stanley Cup worthy!? Good luck on your upcoming season/postseason, from your capfriendly friend/neighbor from the North. lol

And I wish you all the best on your Stanley Cup quest. The drought Shall be ended!!!!!!!!!!! I am rooting for you right now.
