<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brunobell</b></div><div>I hate when people are really negative on GM proposals but... holy hell man.

1. 2-way deal doesn't mean they are waiver exempt. Has nothing to do with waivers.

2. Halak staying in BOS because Tuuka may retire.

3. Getzlaf seems unlikely.

4. Goodrow is about 500k too low.

5. Bogosian is about 500k too high.

6. Bobby Ryan isn't playing for 750k again.

7. Why the hell would they want Jurco and Ho Sang

8. Jesus tap dancing Christ, 5x5.5 for Saad????</div></div>

I don't mind this team necesarily but there are a few points to make:

- That is an overpayment for Saad it seems but Saad is in the same boat as Hyman (not saying they are the same players) but same situation. Many teams are looking for guys like him and therefor he will get overpaid by some desperate GM because a few teams are interested in his services. Could you allocate that 5M elsewhere? Obviously yes, especially with the latest Landeskog rumours (far fetched to materialize) but all considering 2-3M more you are in the conversation for him...

- The ACGM here for this roster is obviously using Ho-Sang and Jurco as comparables to Dubas' idea of Alex Gally from last year. Is it a terrible idea? They both have potential I guess, BUT when you look at the leafs overall cap situation, do they have the luxury of 1.5M on re-construction projects?...maybe not when they need every dollar of their cap space to help them get out of the first round, NOW. (I like the idea though, sometimes can find gems like this..)

- I see many people who are ACGM the leafs signing a back-up goalie for more than what Campbell is currently making. To each their own however Campbell deserves to be given a full 82 game cycle in the starters crease so why not sign a veteran for 1M or around there who is fine to be a back up and provide stability when Campbell needs games off?

- Bobby Ryan will probably double his salary on a contender I would presume..

- Goodrow is a great option, not to mention Blake Coleman as well...Goodrow made $975,000 last year and has consistently put up 20 points in last two seasons. $2.5M is a raise for him for now to continue to prove his consistency. 3M is also fair too.

All and all the idea here is solid, the numbers would need to be tweaked, the 3rd line centre role, I would look outside of Getzlaf for someone a tad younger who provides a little more offence.

Also to mention, move some of the bodies out such as Engvall and get a pick or something for him if he is being pushed out of the lineup. This would also help you become cap compliant.

I am the same, I don't like negativity on these forums, people are just having fun and being hypothetical so that is why I respond as so.

Sujet: Toews
You need to look at all variables in a Toews trade as you are talking a franchise player here...yes I know he is past his prime and has been injured but still you are partly paying for the name and history that comes with him.....Also retaining his salary is going to cost an arm and a leg...and why bring in someone like him to play 3rd line minutes when he will probably still compete in the top 6 if fully healthy and surrounded with some OK talent.... at this point for what you are looking at...1st round pick, Robertson or Sandin and another prospect and a lower pick or two it isn't worth it.....a 3rd line centre should be no more than 3.5M in todays cap world. Stan Bowman isn't that stupid, he won't let him go for nothing. That would be like the leafs letting Tavares go for nothing, although he is not worth what he used to be, you are still paying for John Tavares, the former 1st overall pick, former captain of the Islanders and Leafs, former reliable goal scorer and play maker, all of the hype he used to have...just my 2 cents.
