I think we would rather keep Fleury. Larsson doesnt do much for us.

huge over pay on Bear.
we will be closer if not under 2 million on a 2 year deal

Evolving Hockey's prediction on a 3 year deal

Swear moving larsson will prove to be a disaster. Guy doesn’t get the respect he deserves plays the toughest minutes provides solid pk work and is about the only physical presence have on the blue line no klef just makes him 10x more important.

Well coming from a Leaf fan playing Barrie on the 3rd pair will be pointless. He needs top pairing min to be effective.

This is pointless. Trading a top-4 guy for two bottom-of-the-roster types when we've got a bunch of those already... smh.

lol fine. But what's pointless is signing Barrie and playing him on the bottom pairing. Just wait, you'll see.

That's what the Leafs did. I suspect Tippett will spread the 5v5 TOI more or less evenly between the 3 RHD, with Larsson zone starts getting weighted towards the D-zone and Barrie's to the O-zone.

That’s how I see it too fairly even minutes split among the three pairings numbering them doesn’t matter as much now since don’t really have a sheltered or dominate pairing. They will just be deployed situational. Nights our forwards aren’t playing up to par will mean Larsson likely sees 25 minutes in his own zone but nights forwards are flying Barrie might see 25 minutes. I really really like this ability to not rely on one pairing to do it all.
Nurse bear used in all zones
Jones/broberg larsson defensive zone
Russell Barrie offensive zone
I put jones broberg together because I’m not fully certain if broberg attends training camp he will get sent away.

great....

he will sign a 1 or 2 year deal.
