Lets not forget the Leafs basically traded Dougie Hamilton and Tyler Seguin for Kessel. And now this is all they get in return despite being locked up long term and a proven goal scorer.

 

So, what does this matter now, they're shedding money, and getting younger, the take is still underwhelming however.

[Spanky99]

Kessel is going to score a zillion goals on Crosby's line, lol.

Baseless narrative was baseless.

He sure seemed like it last year lol

Beleskey close to signing a 5-year deal with Boston.

[GD]

LOL Leafs sign Winnik. Infinite loop incoming?

[Zaun of the Dead]

Ugh. Boston is going to be even more annoying.

 

Is Jimmy Hayes any good?

[Laika]

Really like those little Winnik, Hunwick, and Parenteau contracts for the Leafs.

 

I wonder if they can wriggle out of Phaneuf's contract somehow. Obviously that will be the #1 offseason goal now.

 

With the way the NHL works these days, they'll probably cut big names and salaries this year and be more competitive than ever.

Bozak-Arizona has caught on some steam. Think they look to move Bozak first before seeing if Babcock can rehabilitate at least a little bit of value with Phaneuf. No rush to move him, still a whole 6 or 7 years left...

 

for Dion Phaneuf...

i'm gonna go lie down

So in all seriousness how long til we see a playoff run? Yes I know it's early but let's play along. Lol. 6-8 years?

Rough estimate seems fair. Maybe 5-7.

[canadiansportsjunkie]

What do you mean breakdown? It's a percentage, so 1.275 or whatever per year.

 

Oh I thought there would be some sort of terms...Certain amounts each year to equal 15% that would have been better. Not sure why i thought that though

Depends on how our picks develop and big FA in 1-2 years. I'm going to say 3-5

This is to be expected, no?

Yes, this was smart.

Apparently Bozak will be moved before the season

Martin St. Louis has retired.

[baubau]

Martin St. Louis has retired.

 

Dang, that sucks. I am sure he still had a bit in the tank but its always best when players retire while still good than bad (i.e. Brodeur). Probably had one the best underdog stories in the NHL.

TJ Oshie traded to the Capitals for Troy Brouwer, Pheonix Copley and a 3rd round pick

 

Can't say I saw this coming

Has the market plummeted for wingers or something?

[burlingtonbandit]

Washington looks to be really good next year. If they could have kept Mike Green I think they would be there with Tampa for best in the East.

[Laika]

Mike Green isn't that great.

[Frag]

Keith Olbermann just ripped Steve Simmons to shreds on ESPN, calling him the Worst in Sports today for his stupid Kessel article.

Hes a pretty good Dmen.. Washington is still a legit contender without him though. If they can get Erhoff, watch out.

He is maybe a top ~50 D-man, or something like that. Overrated because of points. PPA's thanks to Ovie.

#2-3 Dmen are pretty damn valuable.

Guys who just get signed in UFA usually aren't worth their salaries and are often overpaid.

So then don't sign them

[Zaun of the Dead]

overpaying is the new market value
