I originally made the comment that I would not make Auston the captain right now.I was drawn into the reasons why,which was not my original intent I,m not trying to put a negative to the Tavaras signing. This our year to win the cup.

  Your right Nik, however Mathews might balk at Babcock,s coaching style and may not be easy to sign. That was another reason,you might not want to give Auston the captaincy. I,m also wondering if Tavaras isn,t the back up plan,just in case.

Good point,we still win.  Isn't a max contract worth 5 1sts ?

That might be true for Marner,however I just read a thread that those 3 guys could get 350 points next year.

Yep, just because it was rare in the past,doesn,t mean it won't happen.There,s lots of pressure on Gm,s too improve there teams. I can see Arizona doing it,if for no other reason than to get fans to fill their seats. And make a huge impact in the southern states.

  Offer sheets for the max amount,one for Auston and one for Mitch.  They can probably only match one.

  I would not name Mathews captain,he might be gone next year.

  Where,s all the trades the media whooped up?

Great game to watch  Nice victory

Do you think that there,s any chance that Lou with the Islanders could facilitate a trade with the Leafs to get the best out of a Taveras,who just might be leaving for free agency. Since he would know the Leafs depth of prospects. My thinking is ,if that would be the case the Leafs would have to...

Surely Hunter wouldn't leave before the draft.  would he?

OK  thanks guys  news is out

I sure would like to know what the holdup is. If Dubas is the supposed GM  what is Shanahan waiting for?  Maybe by committee 

Might open up the game a little more for both teams,now that their watching the hits that closely.

  I'm feeling confident that the Leafs will take this series.  No more than 5 or 6 games. Better goal tending,better coach.

Looking at your list:  Zaitsev,Dermott,Brown would be left unprotected  .That's a lot to give Ottawa for 1 year of service in Karlsson.  I wouldn't give them that much.

I made that comment without knowing  how many players can be protected. I,m assuming that a couple of core players would have to be exposed.

I like Anderson as the MVP My trade:  Trade two or three players that can't be saved in the Seattle draft to Ottawa for Eric Karlsson for next year while we have cap space for him.

Good trade...especially with Lou making it.
