Gotta hurt when Leafs fans (probably Habs, maybe others) outnumber you in your own barn (literally, it’s a barn)</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Other than deep set, communal delusion that seems to affect all SENs fans - how do you figure Chabot returns a 1st? Either he’s overpaid (5x$8M) for what he brings (+ his history of injury, especially recently) or he’s a legit top pairing dman? But if the latter, why would SENs trade him given they are one of the worst teams in the league? Bad teams tend not to move core pieces unless they are underperforming 🤔</div></div>

I do think Chabot could return a 1st, but with his injury history and high cap hit it isn't very likely. He would be out 1LD if he were consistently healthy. He is a better offensive D-man than Chychrun, and more reliable le defensively, and since it seems a relative consensus that Chych could get a 1st it stands to reason Chabot could too. The injury part, matched with his cap, does make it difficult to really get others on board though since the best asset is availability. Luckily a lot of Chabot's injuries seem to have been breaks rather than things that could be long-term (looking at you, Norris) so hopefully he'll bounce back next year and re-establish himself as one of the better puck moving defencemen. As for trading him, I hope they don't; I'd prefer him over Chych any day of the week.

What do you mean they play in a barn? Did they renovate the CTC since I was last there, or am I missing something? It isn't an amazing stadium, but honestly felt no different from the other ones I've been to.

Sujet: How are you supposed to work with this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Gee, I don't see why you think the Leafs cap situation is so bad. Lots of teams are at the cap, and that includes non playoff teams.
Those UFA signings are practical for the Leafs.
9m for Roy and 3m for Dillon might be nice but ain't happening. Benoit should get a little more, and Robertson too.which leaves 8m for two NHL UFAs. Who? Maybe Tanev and Lubushin.
Jarnkrok is not centre. Tavares is still a 2C so he stays at centre, which makes Stephenson really unnecessary. Maybe Domi or somewhat similar gets 3.25m.

Kinda funny you would criticize the Leafs cap. Look at the Jets The cap goes up 4.3m....and the Jets have spent that on Helly and Schef all ready. Toffoli and Monahan are on cheap retained contracts, if those players return, that a big cap upwards .</div></div>

There has been a lot of chatter around Tavares being too slow to play 2C. I don't know how much of it is a legit issue versus TOR fans/media overreacting, but I can see the logic there.

Robertson - Stephenson - Nylander
Jarnkrok - Tavares - McMann

Seems like a better middle-6 anyway. Scratch Holmberg unless Dewar struggles at 4LW for some internal competition.

Tanev would be an excellent add for TOR and cost a pinch less than Roy here (plus rumours are Roy won't sign in Canada), but there will be a bidding war for him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Green4D4</b></div><div>Something needs to happen... Have to trade one of Chychrun or Chabot.. That being said, if you trade one of them, I think you keep Bran for insurance. He won't make more than 3... and you can get him on a longish term deal. Good on third pair...

Goal-tending needs to be addressed. Korpi is gone. Bought-out.

You hope Norris returns healthy and on the wing next year. You Stu-Pinto-Grieg down the middle now and I think he can thrive beside Stu or Grieg.

Overall, they've been playing with zero structure in front of their goalies...

"Facing the Sens feels like a completely different experience than facing most teams. It's felt like they don't play with any structure. It's fully run and gun. It's a chaotic strategy that'll either work if they have a number of things go their way, or will completely explode on them and they'll look like a peewee team. It's truly just not sustainable and makes it impossible for a goalie to come in and have a fair shot."

You look at a guy like Cam Talbot:

A .914 career goalie

Since 19-20: here's how his seasons have looked. I want you to guess which year he played behind the Sens D corps:

.919

.915

.911

.898

.917
