Sujet: Why the leafs are screwed after this season
<a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/768876">https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/768876</a>

ahhhh the jealousy consumes the league. click the above an I think it shows the #s can/will work. after all we do have a math genius running the team.

I love how all the commentary here is from Jets/Bruins/Isles fans. Fact is JT91 , was under paid previously. had a crap team put around him, in a stadium that was falling apart / made for the basketball team, and made no promises to anyone publically that he was staying. He served his 8 years on the Island fair and square..

Now he is properly paid, has a well oiled machine of a management structure around him, playing for his boyhood team, endorsements galore (if he wanted them), close to friends and family, has an amazing young roster around him. Every team in the league would want JT91, and would/will make the sacrifices to make it happen. so why is everyone so butt hurt he made the decision that was best for him....... Like doughty/Stamkos/etc.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsFan13</b></div><div>You didn't challenge me with anything. You just said it was "jealousy and vitriol directed towards the Leafs" and now saying this is a troll post and I'm showing you boneheaded Leafs fans why you're screwed after this season. Why would I be butt-hurt about another first round exit by the queefs?</div></div>

Because when a post/comments resort to insults it shows immaturity and a poor level of understanding of how the Leafs will look moving forward.

If there was any attempt to legitimately show leaf fans that 'they're screwed' you would have put more than 2min of effort into the ACGM team...or maybe look at any one of the thousand ACGM teams posted by a Toronto fan to see how the money works.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rtapp326</b></div><div>So do you propose losing Marner next year then?
Tavares gets $11M. Nylander will get 6ish, Matthews probably gets the same number as Tavares, and baring a terrible season, Marner will get at least $7M. That’s $34M tired up in 4 players, and none of them are defensemen. And you’re going to have a really hard time finding the defenseman you need at $4.35M per (Hyman+Brown). Either Marner or Nylander has to go.</div></div>

No they don't because you can't get fair value in any move involving those guys. So what you do is just go really cheap in other areas for 1 season. Next season is the only one that will be tough, and there are enough bodies on the farm to fill spots that will be left vacant when Hainsey and Gardiner are off the books. Kapanen could be a guy to get traded next off season since he'll be RFA and may not be affordable. However, after next season, the Leafs will have an additional 6.25 million dollars in cap space once Marleau is off the books. It'll be a challenge but its possible, and the team is better with Nylander, Matthews, Tavares and Marner than without one of those guys.

So once again, the Leafs can afford all of their big ticket guys.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CanadasTeam88</b></div><div>Just wondering, what do you think the Wild need to pass the first round?</div></div>

We've gotten to the 2nd round before, The issue has been making it past that.

I think we played well this year when the refs called the occasional penalty. In game 3, they called things tight (by playoff standards) early in the first and it set the tone for the rest of the game which we won easily and basically scored at will. Outside of that game, our major problem lately in the playoffs has been our scoring. Excluding game 3 against the Jets, we only scored 3 goals in 4 games this year. Against the Blues in 2017 we scored a total of 8 goals in 5 games. Dubnyk played great in both series but you can't get very far if the options are shutout or lose the game. Parise looked great in both series (5 goals in 8 games) but not many other players did. If we can either get someone who produces well in the playoffs or get our own guys going the way they do in the regular season, we could make a good run provided we don't have another injury plagued season from hell again.

Sujet: Two Acquisitions (TOR and MIN)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cberg</b></div><div>Marner had the 2nd best P/GP rate, well behind Mathews, but, yes, did score the most points last season for the TML. On the Flames, who scored much less, Marner would have been third behind Gaudreau and Monahan(playing injured), likely behind Tkachuk too, but I digress. Hamilton led the NHL in goals by D and is solid defensively, he also has a great, sub-$6mm contract for the next 5 years, well under what Marner will likely get this year. Toronto needs D, Calgary needs RW rhs wingers. D are in general more valuable than wingers. So, I would say that for Hamilton the TML would be looking at Marner, plus something.</div></div>

Again we get in this discussion about the Leafs needing Dmen. Well doesn't every team? Leafs GAA was 12th in the league, better than Calgary's. So it's kinda fantasy that the Leafs are so desperate for a Dman they would trade their second best forward for one, it nothing else it's just a lateral trade. Leafs have 10 m in cap space and though there may/not be great options for defence acquisitions this year, sure doesn't mean the Leafs would throw away one of their top forwards with years of control.
Look at the projections of the Leafs Dmen next year, it's not as futile as fans of Vancouver (Tanev) and Calgary (Hamilton, Brodie) want to believe. I don't see many trades to any other teams for Hamilton...it's just the same Marner and Nylander and Leafs add nonsense. Just because the Flames overpaid for Hamonic and Oilers for Larsson, doesn't make that the trade value standard for Dmen..
Sorry, you're misinformed about the Hamilton contract. He's a UFA after three seasons, not five.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Flames22</b></div><div>Brodie plays better on the right side than on the left. In fact, Brodie would be the number 1 RD on Toronto's current roster. In fact, it seems to me that he fills a big need for Toronto.</div></div>

I'll speak for myself but maybe Leaf fans don't really believe how great all these Calgary Dmen are. Brodie has just two year left on contract then he's a UFA, Nylander is under Leafs control for at least four years.
Nylander will probably be filling a need at centre for the Leafs so his trading isn't practical at all for the Leafs. Still don't know the definition of what a # 1 D is. Zaitsev and Hainsey playing the right side and the other player might be playing almost the equal amount of minutes.....whether it's Ozhiganov, Carrick, or Dermot or a short term UFA.. hardly worth trading Nylander.

Philipp Grubauer was 7th in GAA, 12th in spct, minimum 10 gp. In the playoffs he battled Bobrovsky to back to back overtimes.

Joshua Ho-Sang, last year, the fourth since he was drafted, had two goals, ten assists and was -7. His corsi was 7% lower than his zone starts.

I think the Caps probaby would rather just trade Grubauer straight up for the 12th overall pick or for Bellows, but as a backup plan, two seconds and Ho-Sang is probably enough to outbid Carolina, Chicago, Detroit, Philly..... who knows. He has seven hits. In parts of two seasons. He's blocked three shots. That's more than one a year.

I'm not that interested in trading a likely top ten goalie for a likely complete bust. But if it comes down to two different teams offering two seconds, and they throw in someone who might, maybe, possibly still have some potential to play in the NHL full time.... I guess that helps more than it hurts... I'll grant that he's an upgrade over Barber, so far, but there are so many decent UFA wings this summer that it does not make a huge difference.
