<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bagelbob</b></div><div>again, no. ritchie has no place on the team, they have more than enough bottom six players. the reason he took on martin was specifically because of his role in the organization, it’s ridiculous to leave that part out of your assessment. and they just terminated leo’s contract because he was useless. if you want to get rid of ritchie, throw in a third or something and maybe you have a deal but not for nothing.</div></div>

Ritchie has no place on the team? Nobody on your team can score a goal, and RItchie had 15 last year. NYI is literally paying Pageau 5mil for a 10 goal season pace and Josh Bailey 5mil for a 7 goal season pace. So when you talk about place on the team, do these players not have a place on the team as well? Lou throughout his time with Toronto, NJ, and NYI has made bad deals. Whether it's signing zaitsev, martin, komarov, or trading for Martin (who he originally signed), that's what Lou does. The whole role in the organization thing is nonsense - you pay for what the player can bring on the ice, and Ritchie, a 15 goal scorer and a mean player out there, is someone Lou would easily take for 2.5. Clutterbuck's at 3.5 lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nqutilus</b></div><div>Save me the sob "injury" story. His metrics, both regular and advanced, have been poor. "A change of scenery" isn't an excuse for a 30 y/o goalie. He's a backup goalie at best. We're not giving you a starter, AND a 4th for him.

Also, you're not one to be a choosing beggar, especially considering your cap situation. You need to re-sign Campbell and Rielly has a more lucrative extension. So either offer us something of interesting for Fleury, and/or something of value to take Mrazek.</div></div>

You're simply wrong. He's a tandem goalie, and with Lankinen, that's a good match. If I were you I'd rather have a tandem goalie at a great number for 3 years than one for a ridiculous 7.5 for one year before he wants to leave. It's gonna be hard attracting UFA goalies to come to Chicago because they're not a winning team right now. The only way they'd come is if Chicago overpays. That overpayment will have to be around Mrazek's number, so I'd rather have a goalie who's worth 3.8 in Mazek than who's overpaid at 3.8. So, we're the ones giving you the advantage - a goalie at a good cap hit, who's a good tandem goalie, and who's locked in (preventing you from having to overpay to bring UFA goalies to Chicago).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>realKyleDavidson</b></div><div>It's dead weight, he's not a quality starting goalie and 3.8 for a backup is bad. We could sign a goalie for much less who's as good or better. Add in the fact it's unlikely we're going to be competitive next year, this return makes no sense. Fleury might bring back a first round pick, or at least a second. Add in us retaining money and possibly giving up a pick? We'd be better off letting him walk for nothing</div></div>

You're wrong. He is a quality starting/tandem goalie, and 3.8 for this is a good price. A goalie at a lower number won't be as good as Mrazek is, unless they're on an ELC. While you're retaining, we're giving you a goalie with 2 more years after, which is why the deal balances out, without us giving you an additional sweetener. In other words, Mrazek's remaining 2 years is the sweetener. Why have a starter for only 1 more year when you can get a tandem goalie (with Lankinen) for 3?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TampaBayLightning22</b></div><div>Dermott+Engvall doesn't get you a sign and trade Max Domi, Marc Andre-Fleury will only waive to a team that he wants to sign with. and sorry i don't see the Leafs being that team. he probably goes back to Pittsburgh to retire.</div></div>

It depends what Columbus thinks of Dermott and Engvall. They may look at them and say that with more of an opportunity and a fresh start, they can thrive. They're also relatively young which is what would entice Columbus. As for Domi, he's an upcoming UFA, so rather than him leaving in the summer and Columbus losing him for nothing, Columbus can get two young guys that still have potential to grow. And Domi hasn't been too great either, nowhere near what Columbus thought they were getting when trading for him. Could be a fresh start for Domi. Domi's value isn't high right now, given he's a UFA and that he has a bad contract, so rather than losing for nothing, we're giving you two young players with potential to grow. And it makes sense for us because we have too many Engvall-types on forward, we need someone with an edge.
