Sujet: Two years after Meier Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bogdown</b></div><div>There’s no way Bunting sees Mikheyevs 5 million dollar contract and says I’m worth 3. Sure there’s term, but he’s going to get 5-7 million on his next deal.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsmania</b></div><div>Agreed, it is possible he moves off at doesnt take that. If so, Leafs use the money on another player for that. The hope would be a hometown discount plus most of the money upfront for a signing bonus. The deal would take him to he is 35 so that is good security. Ilya's contract value was 19 and Buntings would be 24, though as you said less term.</div></div>

Totally different situations; Bunting is a home town kid. Nick Paul just signed 7 x $3.1M so he’d have chances to win. Hopefully Bunting prioritizes winning for his home team; I’d go up to $4Mx6 or $3.875Mx7 (heavily front loaded with bonuses) which is good value on both sides

Sujet: Random attempt at next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>Re Timmins, we'll see where we are end of the year. But the difference is pretty small.

Re Kampf if he wants much more Id pass. He is a 4c not a 3c. Overpaying for 4th liners is a good way to nuke someone's cap

Re Domi I find it kind of funny that signing him for a few hundred k less than bunting and 1 year less is an over pay.

Dude has hit 28 goals and 70 pts. And has a career average over 82 of 51 points over 82 GP

He's scoring quite similar but more goals than bunting this year (11 g and 23 pts in 32 gp for Domi and 9 g and 24 pts in 34 games for Bunting). Bunting definitely plays with better line mates.

Domi can also play c and w which is an advantage.

Now to be absolutely care I am NOT suggesting Domi is a stud or something. I've signed him above for 3.65 million which is maybe the going wait for a decent middle 6 winger. It's a couple steps below guys like copp got, and a good step below someone like Mikheyev got this summer...</div></div>

Agree to disagree; I think Kampf is a really good 3/4C and excellent defensively which is important to Leafs - great matchup and pk guy. Holmberg also looks promising in similar role.
Sorry but Domi is not at bunting’s level, half of his points are on the PP this year &amp; Leafs PP1 is set; only 2 of bunting’s are. Bunting plays with great players because he is exactly what Matthew’s or JT’s line needs - smart, tenacious / good forecheck, good hands, goes to the net. Domi is not really good at any of these things - he is more of a playmaker which we don’t need.
To each his own but I just don’t see Domi as a good fit , I think there is a reason he has bounced around - he’s a bit one dimensional and has obvious flaws

Sujet: Super Aggressive Meier Chychrun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>This team would be GROSS to play against for quite a few years to come. I would be happy to see both of these trades happen.

Buffalo is out of a playoff spot now but their goal differential is in the positive. They aren't far off from making a playoff push.

I would top 5 protect that pick going to San Jose though.</div></div>

You can’t put a condition on 2023 1st rounder when 2024 1st rounder is also being traded with a ‘top 10’ protect clause. If I were a GM I simply wouldn’t accept any draft pick with a ‘top x’ clause; draft picks can take up to 3-4 years to turn into everyday players and the team I’m trading to might want me to wait another year (potentially) if the draft pick becomes too valuable to give up🤯. Nah - not on my watch

Sujet: What I would do as the gm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>This team beat Boston and Dallas when healthy . Norris out basically killed us. Plus Sanderson will be even better next year and more chemistry between the players. Greig will provide a boost and hopefully one more RD and no Hamonic/Zaitsev . And JBD 3rd pair</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>They've got most of the pieces, they really only need to fill out the blueline and get an NHL coach. Sens are where they are in the standings because it takes DJ Smith 8 weeks to realize the season had started every single year. Worst coach in the league.</div></div>

Obviously as a Leafs fan - I hope it doesn’t happen but also don’t see it next year. A lot of teams between you and playoffs, and most of them on the upswing as well. Dorion’s made some pretty bad calls imo.
I hope the ownership gets settled and work on new arena starts ASAP b/c I know Ottawa is a hockey hotbed and an arena downtown would be awesome.
But I think it’ll be a few years for the SENs - might need to wait for bruins and Tampa to age out &amp; fall off the pace 🤞; Atlantic is brutal
