chris.brock Posted February 7, 2019 Report Posted February 7, 2019 Crosby could make $17 mill? The Pens, Hawks and Kings have all won a few cups recently with 5 guys accounting for more than 50% of the cap.

Probably not 17, I was thinking more 16, as I believe a max contract allowed is 20% of the total cap. Which is roughly 16 mill
BillM Posted February 7, 2019 Report Posted February 7, 2019 Marner is going to get paid. Those toe drags never get old. 1

The tough part is who to keep and who to let go. I would keep Muzzin over Gardner any day. However, it's those fringe players that have to be decided on. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Chicago is going through some tough times with some real good players.

But they had to let some very good players go because of the cap. Panarin for instance. I think Gardiner will be lost to free agency, but am not sure who else will go during the summer. 1
DRIFTER_016 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Report Posted February 7, 2019 I wonder how much higher Mitch's contract will push these numbers. It's good to be flush with cash. ? https://www.tsn.ca/the-interesting-wrinkles-of-matthews-new-deal-1.1253750?fbclid=IwAR3gdwCXFK6-IQpjBKJpYFkC_xuu9HiDVaB2kZ2rC8Wu1Q28fTQb9999UC4

The Marleau contract becomes a lot easier to move to teams that have to reach the cap floor but don't have the cash. There may be a deal yet out there.

No brainer for me, to let go would be Zaitsev, Hainsey, Brown, Gardiner Nylander is good but not nearly close to $7 mill good, and God willing please let Marleau and his contract disappear before next season 1
chris.brock Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) damn those guys, but it was an even game from teams that look similar but that's why we pay JT $11 JMO but I don't like shaw on Muzzin and benn on Kadri and gallager snowing Freddie, wish we had a guy like McLaren to threaten to feed them their own teeth on national TV Edited February 10, 2019 by chris.brock
misfish Posted February 11, 2019 Report Posted February 11, 2019 Hot or not, 23 sec in and down 1 already. 5 shots and it,s 2-1. If we lose Freddy to injury, were done if thats our back up.

It's obvious he isn't working out.
AKRISONER Posted February 11, 2019 Report Posted February 11, 2019 whats even more ridiculous is youve got a capable backup in hutchinson available. They are trying to let sparks work through it in the hopes that he finds his game because he is so young. If you send him out to pasture you basically lose a big time prospect. But lets get serious, at what point does a guy that looks like he is trying to make big saves every shot end up at the end of the rope. his save percentage isnt atrocious but he has a nack for never making the key saves when you need them. Itd be one thing if the leafs ran into a hot goalie and lost even 3-1 or 2-1, but you gotta stop more than that.

I thought he could not play anymore ? 10 game rule ? Or is that out the window once playoffs come ?
scuro2 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Posted February 12, 2019 How funny that everyone gets their knickers in a knot so quickly. "Sparks has got to go! We had Curtis McElhinney and he was the best". Curtis McElhinney is 13-6-1 with a save % of .916 and he is 35 years old. His career SP is .909 Sparks is 7-4-1 and developing. Trend line is higher. Current save percentage is .908, and it's his first fully year here. Give the guy a break, if Boston overtakes the Leafs it won't be because of Sparks.
Oggie Posted February 12, 2019 Report Posted February 12, 2019 Sparks wasn't outstanding but he wasn't the determining factor in the loss. I'd say Kadri needed to score on one of his 12 shots. I did like his grit though at times. When they didn't score on that PP in the second period they were done! No legs after that PP.

Nope, I've slandered Sparks since the preseason. To me it's obvious he's not comfortable, he's nervous and having trouble with his confidence. I understand it would be giving up on a prospect but I don't want him starting anymore games and costing us points. here's a stat, last year the Leafs won 78% of games when they scored 1st, Sparks let his first one in at 28 seconds on Sunday, lol
AKRISONER Posted February 13, 2019 Report Posted February 13, 2019 about time the PP coach figured out that Tavares and Matthews are capable of passing the puck ? who woulda thunk, when the other team collapses high with 3 players to take away all of the seams and eliminate the marner to kadri/marner to matthews option that all you gotta do is put the puck down to a wide open JT who then has the shoot or pass to Matthews option with only one defender to deal with... Tavares to Matthews, or vice versa...jeez it must have been pretty hard for them to realize that it could result in some goals? good grief. 1
chris.brock Posted February 15, 2019 Report Posted February 15, 2019 I thought it might be fun to take the family on a road trip on March break and watch the Leafs in ottawa. I checked, the crappiest seats are $180 each, so no thanks. Interesting though, a couple days earlier, we could see St Louis/ sens for $29 a ticket, lol, and that's on March break! Unless the Leafs are in town, they can't give the tickets away. What a disgusting blemish ottawa and the sens are on Canadian hockey. 2 2
AKRISONER Posted February 15, 2019 Report Posted February 15, 2019 good to see the boys keep the ball rolling last night...also good to see the scabs lose and fall back to 6 pts behind toronto. Now boston can cool of with pasta out, leafs lock up that home ice for round 1
Headhunter Posted February 15, 2019 Report Posted February 15, 2019 Isn't it about time that the goaltender coach talks to Freddie about handling the puck? It seems to me that every time he has the puck behind his net, he passes it, under pressure, to the wrong team! It also seems like Gardiner is the victim/culprit on the defense core.... HH
