I watched the first season over the last few days based on the reviews. I thought it was "meh" at best. Although it's more of a human drama, maybe people who appreciate the culinary industry would be more receptive to it than I was. 

Agreed. That's a deal I'd be happy with for Kerfoot, but not for Kampf.

I don't. Dubois is a center, can play a physical game, is better defensively, and apart from Nylander's last season, there's not a huge difference in output (and Dubois missed substantial time with an injury). Quite honestly I'd take Dubois straight up for Nylander no question, and I doubt I'd...

Agreed. Along with the Dubois contract, there's lots of ammo to pull Nylander and his agent back to relative earth, meaning <9M. I'd be surprised though, if it actually gets done.

Actually, I'd say it does the opposite.

Yuck.

I'd happily take kerfoot back at 2.5 Great defensive impacts, durable, good speed, chips in a timely goal now and again? I doubt they'd get more on the FA market. Kampf is sort of in no man's land where he's probably better than a 4th line player on a team that's less deep, but he's not in...

Regarding Nylander, I think that's exactly what's going to happen. He's already proven he's willing to sit out for a contract, and I see him as the absolute least likely of any of the three to sign a long term deal below the top end of market value, because he's the only core player that's...

I'd like to see some players acquired that would get the other teams' heads up, and rush passes- Hathaway would interest me. Mcbain in Arizona, although I think he's an RFA. More size on D would be great as well. Mayfield is a ufa. 

Any truth to the rumor he's going to be tried as an adult?

I think he'll do everything possible as a first move to sign Matthews to an extension,because that'll stabilize everything else.

Considering he came with substantial risk, he was a gamble that paid off well.

Yeah. Interesting that Samsonov seems to get a pass in these parts. Probably because it was handled better internally.

I see Caufield as Phil Kessel lite. Not a hot dog joke, more along the lines of recognizing what an elite 5 on 5 scorer kessel was in his prime, along with providing virtually nothing else. But if you're only going to be good at one thing, scoring is a pretty good choice.

Don't get me wrong, it was still a good show and held my interest, but the pacing was terrible, just like GOT. It's almost like they were debating another season up until the last few episodes. Case in point-  at the beginning of the season, the team was willing to throw a game by running up...

Boy, the last season of GOT and Ted Lasso turned out to have a fair bit in common.

I think it comes down to a simple choice for leaf fans, really. Get busy Treliving, or get busy Tredying.

It's too bad that the ownership clown show of a sale isn't completed in Ottawa, because I think that would be an ideal fit for Dubas at the stage of the franchise.

Sold. Maybe throw in Samsonov's rights, and Liljegren as part of a bigger package.

I guess that ideally, if it's true that Shanahan has already set parameters around the core 4,and even if he hasn't - I'd just as well he took the GM position with Pridham's elevated support - instead of picking from a parade of retreads and retirees. I'm sure he's smart enough to pass on the...
