Sujet: Teach me how to Dougie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DrLLCoolJay</b></div><div>Yes, I have Chychrun as their best d-man, OEL is in my eyes third atm, but I'm not sure if they resign Goligoski for next year. Rielly had one good year 3 years ago so I would rather put him in the same category as Gustafsson, DeAngelo and Gostisbehere who were also briefly thought of as superstars, than consider him to be on par with players who have solid season-to-season records. So yes, I consider OEL to be better than him.

Yes, sure take Pietrangelo who signed 8.8M until the age of 37, you aren't getting as much out of those 2-3 last years. You have signed Dougie until he's 34. Everyone always want to go to Toronto for less since they are Toronto, right? Well, I can only remember that happening with around 5 players: Tavares (not really a discount), Spezza (yummy, his prime years!), Thornton (he's still getting better, teams were probably lining up to get him), Marleau (there must have been a bidding war here for this UFA), Simmonds (The JvR-Bozak-Kadri PP in one player! Wow what a great signing). If you have some other examples of when this has actually happened, please enlighten me.</div></div>

Your take on Rielly is insane. You claim he had one(?) good season 3 years ago and then compare him to players who actually had one successful season playing in sheltered roles. Nobody is claiming Rielly is good defensively but that slander is ridiculous, and you're not giving him the credit he's due offensively.

In terms of a "discount" I'm not talking about 2 million per off like Tavares took to sign here over the Sharks, or the extra year + mil that the Islanders offered him, I'm talking about a few hundred thousand off what I imagine another real contender would offer. I'm not even sure what to say about your tangent about other discounts, you just started naming random signings and ****ting on them? Why does there have to be specific Leaf related examples within the past few years, when you named Tavares and Spezza. You can go with Panarin with NYR who turned down more money from the Islanders, funny how all the elite players seem to take less when the alternative is to play for the Islanders, huh? On the plus side they can load up on all the best 4th line talent the league has ever seen!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DrLLCoolJay</b></div><div>I like how ARI would give away two great forwards for 2 bottom 6 guys and what would become their third best LHD. But that's somehow not even the worst part of this ACGM. Because Dougie signs for less than both Trouba and Spurgeon who both signed new contracts fairly recently...</div></div>

Lost me at third best D. I'll give you Chychrun but who's the other? OEL lmao?

Trouba and Spurgeon both signed before covid, a better comparable is Pietrangelo who signed for 8.8m last offseason, but Pietrangelo is much better defensively. I suppose it depends if there's any truth to what Friedman said about wanting to sign closer to home and if he's got a soft spot for the team he grew up cheering for. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Egtx04SXYAIfyh_.jpg

Sujet: McAvoy + Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vanderm</b></div><div>TOR is going to have a tough time keeping all their young guys under manageable contracts. It was clear this year that defense is what knocked them out of playoffs, not lack of scoring. The Marner trade (or Nylander) is one way for them to free up the cap space to go and get another top 10 player in the world: John Tavares, while also adding some valuable draft picks and a Top 4 dman.</div></div>

Lol yeah no. Leafs are not accepting a bust of a 2nd overall pick and a declining, overpaid defensman for an elite 21 year old player. We have plenty of cap space to afford Tavares or a dman like Doughty next free agency if we really wanted.

You mentioned that the Leafs "needed defense". If that was the case why would we trade for a Bennett and Hamonic? Wake up.
