<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Laquille</b></div><div>What do you guys think of Meloche? been following him since Junior but didn't watch his games lately so would like some opinions</div></div>

To be honest I have no idea why he's on an NHL squad right now apart from injuries. I haven't seen him play a lot, but from the AHL games I saw and the training camp stuff as well there's not really anything special there. Here's a snippet from a February 2020 article:

Scout #1: "The Meloche kid hasn’t improved for me at all. I thought he’d do a little better in San Jose, but he’s plateaued as well.”

Scout #3: “Not good enough to be an AHL defenseman. There’s a lot that I don’t like.”

Scout #4: “Surprised [he was recalled by the Sharks]. He’s physical. Maybe it’s his turn, thought it would be Carrick.”

Not really as down on him as some of the "scouts" but the consensus is there hasn't been much development there.

Sujet: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Travis Dermott (1 Year / $874,125 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rollie1967</b></div><div>The Leafs are still in cap hell. If my last name was Kerfoot ... I wouldn't be buying real estate anytime soon.</div></div>
They have the whole roster signed, and don't have to make any trades.


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rollie1967</b></div><div>Yah getting out of cap hell is easy ... when you give away first round picks to take on contracts (Marleau).</div></div>
You can thank Loui Lamoriello for Patty Marleau at $6,300,000 x 3 years (cost a 1st round pick)
You can also thank Lamoriello for Nikita Zaitsev at $4,500,000 x 6 years (cost Connor Brown)
You can also thank Lamoriello for renting Tom Plekanec to play #4C (cost a 2nd round pick)
You can also thank Lamoriello for renting Brian Boyle to play #4C (cost a 2nd round pick)
You can also thank Lamoriello for keeping JVR + Bozak + Komarov (cost a massive haul)


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rollie1967</b></div><div>Or just give up good young and reasonably priced players (Johnsson) for nothing.
He was projected to play in their top 6 ... and they got an unsigned minor leaguer for him.</div></div>
Joey Anderson had better even-strength points/game and goals/game than Johnsson last year (with worse line-mates).
He's also 4 years younger + better defensively + kills penalties (and would've played all year if he didn't break a bone).
Joey Anderson will be better than Johnsson within a season or two (for one fifth of the price).


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rollie1967</b></div><div>They can barely squeak under the cap if they:
Demote Pierre Engvall (the 2nd coming!)
Demote or trade Travis Dermott (yikes!)
Use Marincin as their 7th d-man (yikes!)</div></div>
LOL I don't think I've ever seen someone be so wrong, while simultaneously giving so much attitude (yikes!)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brocklesnar</b></div><div>Juolevi has had some bad luck so far in his career but he is not considered to be "bad" prospect. His game is trending in the right direction and with proper guidance especially from an organization like Tampa Bay he can become a solid player.

Josh Anderson is not going to sign cheap either, thats pretty fair value. He is a UFA so either he can take a bridge deal or take deal with some term. He could take a team friendly deal to play with his best friend Horvat.

I also <strong>forgot that only Leaf players are considered to be valuable. And only a package of Kerfoot/Johnsson/Kapanen/Holl </strong>and some other plugs can get you good players in return.</div></div>

Is that your only roast now? Do you just say that to every leaf fan? I like how I am trying to provide constructive criticism and then you just totally bomb on me.

I forgot only canucks fans get mad when someone talks bad to them. I guess you will start lighting cars on fire
