<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>Of course not. But why deplete yourself of experience for no reason and gamble on the whole left side with no experience doing it.

If you didn't have Leddy already I get it. But there seems to be this need to dump him by nyi fans. You have a safety blanket in him. Why do you need to get rid of it.

Keep him and if they out play him then push him down the line up or trade him. Why do it now?</div></div>

because Pelech is capable and proved so last year of taking the top 6 match ups and playing 20 min a night.

Devon toews, who the organization has seen long before this year, as a top 4 D, is ready for more minutes.

you can put hickey, aho, s hit even wotherspoon as the third pairing LHD. as a trade asset, Leddy becomes less valuable the older he gets and the less term he has on his deal. he is the best trade chip they have in terms of NHL pieces. he, by default has become expendable. they can handle Toews taking Leddy's minutes or spreading leddys minutes among 3 pairings while gaining assets back, the most important being more cap flexibility with Ladd's albatross on the books

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>I don't understand why all islanders fans are so desperate to trade Leddy with no replacement

None of those left D have ever been close to top 4.

The most any have played in a season is 19:14 a game by pelech the year before last. Otherwise none of them have ever cracked 19. Toews has about 40 games NHL experience. A top 4 defenseman plays about 21+ minutes and a top pairing 23+. None of these guys have that experience and everyone just wants to throw them in the deepend

There is no reason to need to dump leddy</div></div>

let me get this sick logic straight:

the only way to get bumped up to an NHL top 4 D role and play top 4 D minutes.... is to have previous NHL top 4 experience and have played NHL top 4 minutes...

yup this makes sense.................

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jtcurls</b></div><div>You know what. You appear to be from the island or at least an islander fan.

I encourage you to use whatever influence you have to get Lou to make an offer sheet for Marner at over 10.5 million.

As a Leafs fan I would hate to see Marner go but based on what he has done in the last 30 days I would love to see Dubas armed with 9.5 million in free cap space and 4 first round picks.

Who do you think he could trade for in February with those picks actually who could he trade for the next 4 years with at the trade deadline and who could he sign on defence right now with some of that money.

hmmmmmmmmmm.........</div></div>

i agree with you, I think it's best for Toronto to walk away from marner for anything over 9.5 million. idk what me being an islander fan has to do with that observation. if it were the team i root for, with Kapenen and Johanssen there and JT and Matthews down the middle. idk why commit another huge contract to your forwards, especially if everyone thinks the guy isn't worth it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Lol? Where are you getting 9m from.... the number ranges from 10m-10.6m. Depends on the roster. to be honest I think if someone decides to do 11m x 8 dubas pulls the trigger on a Hyman Trade (sometime between now and October... seems to me like you don’t understand the cap is 90m till last day of training camp) and matches that offer.</div></div>

OKay, they may have a path to get 10.6 in there head but they don't have 10.6 protected right now is what I'm saying. I was legitimately asking a question on how you got to that number. yes, I know you don't need to be under the ceiling until training camp ends, don't patronize me... okay they still need to field a 24 person roster at 71.5 million when the season. and if he can't move hyman? if he can't execute trade to get under the cap? I believe the penalty for not getting under is forfeit every game until you do. it just seems real risky to be matching a 10.5 million dollar offer that no one in leafs nation thinks the guy is worth.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Dubas was on Tim and did today and literally said they have protected the exact amount they need for marner.

Dubas is out of moves??? They have one nmc on their entire roster... I would say there are a lot of moves they can make.

Sorry to say but you are completely off base here. The cap space will be about 20m and that is all to be spent on defence since we will be set on offence next season. Our entire top 9 will be locked in. Then we have Freddy and Rielly in. Liljegren and sandin will be moving up. 2 fourth liners, scratches... leaves us about 13m to sign Dermott and 2 more Dmen. The outlook for next year looks good.</div></div>

I'm sure they do have the exact amount that need for marner: the exact amount they are willing to go up to. which seems to be 9.5

so in order to improve the poor defensive play of this team, the plan is to bring in more inexperienced undersized offensive defensemen? all that offense will help you in the regular season, but if you can't play solid D in the playoffs, you will continue to lose to the bruins in the first round.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jtcurls</b></div><div>I get that he doesn't want it but if he wants over 10 million then he has to give up term.

Leafs can match any offer up to 9.5 + 3.2 = 12.7 million

Of course they would have to trade Kapanen to pay Mitch but I have no doubt they could find someone willing to take Kappy off there hands. Especially with the new cost certainty of his 3.2 x 3 yr deal.

I understand according to "insider extraordinaire Dreger" Marner may want 5 years, I understand he may think he should be paid what Matthews and certainly won't sign for "less then 10 million".

Look at what GM's have been willing to pay for a wing and only Panarin and Kane are the only two that I believe are signed for more then 10 million. Remember that those contracts didn't also cost the GM who signed them 4 X 1st rounders on top of the salary.

I may be wrong but I don't see an offer sheet at that AAV appearing and anything less the leafs gladly match.

And.........tell me why and who makes an offer that the leafs will match.</div></div>

as I see it now the leafs have 3,765,301 in cap space and another 5,300,000 in LTIR relief bringing there total cap space to 9,065,301. the leafs can't match anything above that with losing more talent. at that point, Dubas will be selling Kapinen at a position of weakness and likely selling low. why? what's the point? you have two centers to build around and you think its a good idea to match a 10.5 offersheet?

and again i ask you, if they receive a 10.5 offer sheet that gets signed and matched, then what do they do next year? I just don't even understand why, given the leafs current cap situation they would want to match that offer. use that money to re-sign barrie and muzzin
