I'm sure a bunch of EV driving hippies can support a hockey team better then Ottawa can. There is no money in it for the NHL if they move the Sens. There's over $600 mill US in it for them when the owners pay for the franchise... HH

Marner will not get 10. Dubas would rather let him sit, and 10 is a huge ask when you have guys like Seguin and kucherov not even making that much, and they have more scoring capabilities than Marner does, as he excels as a playmaker
Acountdeleted Posted December 5, 2018 Report Posted December 5, 2018 Holy smokes. Don’t blink with this Leafs team. I turned the game off when they were down 1 with 5 minutes left. Turns out they won in OT.

misfish Posted December 5, 2018 Report Posted December 5, 2018 It was like watching a home. That crowd was pro leafs. Winning goal and the place went nuts. That snap glove save in the first by Freddy was sick. It was like, I,LL TAKE THAT THANK YOU. LOL

It’s all about inflation. So if the cap goes up 10-15% then the players want a 10-15% increase in their salary. So if Marner signed the same year as Seguin or Kucherov would he have signed for less? Probnaly. But would they sign for more if they were finishing there entry level deal in 2019? Also Probnaly. It’s all relative.

misfish Posted December 5, 2018 Report Posted December 5, 2018 So can they take AM or JT , but have to pay their contracts out?

But yes if we don't protect them. I think its 12 players and 1 goalie? Gonna be tough. look at the roster now and see who you would protect.

misfish Posted December 5, 2018 Report Posted December 5, 2018 So how many can they protect ? How do they do that ?

misfish Posted December 5, 2018 Report Posted December 5, 2018 Thanks G If I am the leafs,I would go with save 8 skaters and goalie. 7 forwards and 1 D and freddy
Acountdeleted Posted December 5, 2018 Report Posted December 5, 2018 Oops. It’s even less. So who do you save? The good news is Seattle can only take one player from each team.

Old Ironmaker Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 Until last night I had no idea the NHL was expanding to Seattle. I watch Kiro 7 from Seattle and watched them break ground to re do the arena there. I take it Hamilton will never get a team in my life, or any Millennial's lives. Copps Coliseum or whatever they call it now is antiquated. It took 50 years to finally build a highway to tie in the QEW and 403. No way that city is ever getting a new arena or upgrade the one they have. I feel for the die hards in The Hammer.
jimmer Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Drifter is right, because the Leafs will probably have a different lineup by that time. However, this is when a team loses a player like Hyman, Brown or Johnnson after investing time into their development. Edited December 6, 2018 by jimmer

I'd be fine with losing brown, he's either having an off year or just stalled, he seems to be not as effective as last year... Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, Rielly, Andersen are locks for me to still be on the team in 2021 and to be protected... Kadri probably protected, depends on how his season leading into 2021 is and his production from now till then. Liljegren might be worthwhile to protect by that time, Dermott, Holl are potentials to bloom into great D men as well.... won't be easy to pick the 7-8 slot but the upside is we can only lose one. Edited December 6, 2018 by leaf4
jimmer Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 I forgot about Kadri. They might not have to protect Liljegren. No use worrying about any of this now, it's all speculation on who will be with the team at that point.
