-letting go veterans
-trading for Hjalmarsson, trading Stone
-trading for Datsyuks contract, getting Chychrun in the process

it's not like they've been shit for years. they've picked third overall once and that wasn't him. the Keller pick might look either genius or the complete opposite in the future

Literally the best defense they've had since, I don't even know how long now.

Klefbom - Larsson is very underrated top pairing.
Sekera is pretty much solid overall and can play with anyone and on either side.
Russel is a hard workert that sacrifices his body and can skate.
Nurse will only improve and has shown good progress.
Benning was a great find and hopefully he gets even better.

Paigin? doubt he even shows up.

Caleb Jones though, he might be on the team next year. Ethan Bear hopefully shows up in a couple of years.

One timer goal scorers are the worse players to pay huge contracts too. They just weigh the team down and make it difficult to keep/bring other players on the team. Ovi and Stamkos are both problems to their teams more than helpful. Those large contracts also make the other good players, who feel as if they do just as much or more, want more money as well.

Its just becuase its hockey. No other business is like that. In NBA its commonplace to go team-to-team, the NFL barely has any commitment to begin with. Only the MLB is a league where true stars and franchise guys stay franchise guys. At least, for the top franchises like the Red Sox or Yankees that make being an old club mean something. Leafs are an Original 6 team and they could give fuck all about their players. As soon as Matthews turns 35 they're going to dump him for a 1st round pick.

Quite scummy tbqh.

Not surprising that its Montreal.. They're garbage incarnate. Radulov professes his love for Montreal and plays well, dump his ass, Markov mans the top pair for 15 years, oh well, 3.5M is too ritsy.

Almost makes me feel as bad as the Leafs just tossing Kaberle aside like trash. Loyalty is undervalued in hockey.

That's a bit of a stretch. One is a top line generational talent, the other is barely top 6 materaial anymore and has never been a great playoff player.

they wouldn't do it with a team that's kind of good

>>76901630
It's not though.

Price was drafted and has been the starting goalie for the Frogs for awhile now. It would be worse if they just let him go without getting something in return. Laffs signing Marleau is completely unnecessary.

Do basic math and then realize that they're in cap hell. They're going to be using 4th line plugs to fill in their center depth.

There's no doubt during every Leafs game where they talk about Marleau they're gonna talk about the veteran leadership he brings to the team, which is stupid ass shit and makes no sense.

Caps only have 9 million left AFTER trading away a very solid player and have only 14 players signed. Holy motherfucking shit this shit is bad. Terrible management

Ottawa?

>>76901939

Maybe, I just went by how he phrased it. I think Markov is deluded to think he is worth 7M at his age. Shattenkirk didn't even get that much. But still, its Montrela, I'd imagine they'd lowball him.

And that's assuming nobody is included in a trade, when the Pens have a plethora of solid wingers to depart with. They're already being heavily picked as favorites to win next year.

Immediate reacton: Fuck this team.

After having 5 minutes to cool down: I guess we needed the cap space to re-sign Bura, especially after getting Oshie and Kuzy here long term. But still, I can't wait to see how shitty our zone entries are gonna be on the power play this year. And also, this literally wouldn't be a problem if we hadn't given Brooks Orpik that horrific deal that no sensible GM is taking. Oh, and we also lost Alzner too. Great fucking job guys. Fuck this team.

When was the last time we saw an offseason as bad as the Cap's this year?

>>76902011

Bruins are getting contributions from their young core like McAvoy, Pastrnak and Vatrano while still having good core players.

Tampa was 1 point out of the playoffs with Stamkos and the Manlets injured but you think because they traded Drouin they'll suddenly be a mess?

>>76902908
>implying it doesn't get worse from here
Just watch

>>76902916

What the fuck else could MacLellan possibly fuck up?

>>76902925
signing McMeme to max contract

oh wait

>>76902915
Because tampa is full of inconsistent players and a hot and cold goalie. The team lost stamkos and stralman in the playoff run last year, but they lose him this year and turn to trash? Halfway through the season they were on the bottom of the eastern conference. Using this logic though they could either be a 110 point team or an 80 point team this year. And that's true

not an overly unrealistic projection

>>76902967
so you might just about make the ploffs this year and go out in the first round?

is that what you're saying?

Should I be worried about the devlels? They've been so irrelevant for so long that it's hard to envision them being competitive again, but this assemblage of Nico Cave & The Bad Seeds seems like it could pose a legitimate threat to the Metro in a few years.

>>76903034
i don't know man. they've been bad long enough that you'd think that they'd be getting good by now, but that roster still looks like castoffs and the prospect pool is meh outside of nico. i mean, they aren't nightmare tier like colorado or detroit, but certainly not something i'd place much hope in. even the canes and isles look better move forward.

>>76903034
nah >we still have shit d and a shallow d prosepct pool. In a few years could be one of the better offensive teams with solid goaltending. Nico, McLeod, Zacha, Quenville all look promising. Henrique, Hall and Palmieri could each put up 30 goals.

>>76903074
>>76903131
Idk, I'm probably just worried now mostly because I'm a flyers fan and the thought of Nico being the GOAT while Nolan's dick bones shatter into a million tiny fragments in his first game seems like fitting karmic retribution for stealing the #2 pick overall.

>>76904055
maybe if he wasn't plagued with injuries and other issues his whole career...maybe.

The reason Padqvist was valuable is because he actually fucking plays every season and rarely gets injured for long.

I wouldn't be surprised If they went for the navy and air force to a higher degree. Not that many of them do though. The military service isn't as gloryful here as it is in the states. And it's the army the army that has the most problem with filling seats.
