    Maybe the end of the goat?

  Maybe they have to move him, with Kapenen to move all his salary plus free up cap. They could get back a cheaper defenceman plus a 2nd rounder if they move both of them.

  That would be something if it was Montreal. There could be a sleeper team or two that might give a big offer.  The deal with Marner needs to be done sooner than later  to bring some clarity in this off season.

  I,m wondering if the Leafs have to part with some major pieces.I can,t see this working out to a serious cup contender as it appears right now. For example if Marner gets a big offer from another club.Maybe they have to get their 4 first rounders and move on.Use that room to get some defence...

That,s a bit strong"attacking each other"  I respect every ones post.May not agree but still respect. Other wise what's the point in having a discussion.

  I,m sorry I hurt your feelings on Nylander.  If you want to start a new thread on him ,go ahead. 

Do you think that Dubas can unload Nylander who is playing at half of what his cap hit is worth.This was a stupid signing and I wanted them to trade him rather than sign him and I mentioned that a couple of times on the board. He single handed  cooled the whole team when he came back. He will...

  I blame the NHL for the this game last night.They let hitting to take place over and beyond what I thought was eliminated from the game. For example when a player has the puck and then passes it off. The opposing player has a right to check or hit the player. However once the puck is in...

Good signing,especially if the top guys are taking most of the cap for next year. Protection signing. And who knows how good these guys can get. Seems like most of the call ups end up producing.

  Good deal   8 years is a long time for both parties.

I like this slide ,More money to save on the cap for next year.  Probably shaved off at least 2 mil.

  I can't see Dubas messing this up. He is working within the cap system that,s before him.The fact that they signed Taveras for 11 mil pretty well tells me that Nylander was not in their long term plan. He is being offered around the league and I think will be traded.

I,m giving my .02 cents on what's happening. The contract value has been worked out,but Dubas is trying to trade him for a cap friendly top 4 defenceman and some change. They need a top 4 for the playoffs more than another scorer. With Gardiner becoming a too expensive free agent in the off...
