Ah, I didn't realize the second buyout window had the reserve list restriction. That puts a damper on the trade and buyout option as teams like Ottawa would want a big premium to take him before the July 1st bonus is paid.

What are the rules about a buyout in this situation? Say the Leafs pay his signing bonus on July 1st, then trade him to Ottawa or whoever needs to get to the cap floor. They buy out the remaining small salary but take the cap hit. Marleau is then a UFA and signs a one year $1 million contract...

Wasn't the rumour that Babcock and Holland didn't like each other by the end of their time together?

I think you'll still see something. The conversation between Tyrion and Bran will likely come up again (some have speculated Bran told him about Jon's true parentage) and where Bran went while warging during the battle has to play a role yet too. The show can't just move from one battle against...

Am I the only one that would like to see Columbus rewarded for being bold and swinging for the fences this year? I'm kind of tired of most teams and GM's being ultra conservative tbh

I was just going by memory, entirely possible I had it wrong. Either way, if Muzzin and McDonagh are very comparable players than it's hard to argue to Leafs gave up too much. I don't know much about him and remember being surprised when he made the World Cup team, thinking he was just...

Here's hoping Muzzin signs a better contract extension than McDonagh. His seemed pretty high at the time, at the very least it should set a cap on Muzzin's next deal

Thanks, didn't know the second first was conditional. Kind of nice the Leafs didn't have to include something like that too though. I thought it was namestnikov that could play centre and that's why the Rangers wanted him? I know Miller has worked out really well for Tampa, but at the time I...

Is Muzzin actually better than McDonagh though? I know his advanced stats are great but McDonagh is no slouch himself. If this is true then the trade looks that much better. Tampa gave up two firsts, a recent first round pick and a recent second round pick (plus the Miller-Namestnikov swap)

Wow, good for them for following through! Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

Note the "could win". It probably just gives him a chance to spin a wheel with a bunch of smaller prizes and one big grand prize on it. Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

I'm not sure, but Trouba is going to be making 6.5 or so next year so there's not going to be a huge difference between the two. They are probably facing a similar dilemma this summer with Myers as the Leafs are with Gardiner. Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

Winnipeg needs a second line centre and have had tough negotiations with Trouba. I think trading Nylander would be a mistake and I'm not saying I'd want to make a trade one for one but it seems like a better option than some names mentioned.

Could Bourne be talking about Borgman perhaps? After making the team after training camp last fall other teams might be higher on him then they should be for a guy that is a 5-7 guy at best in the NHL

I think the New England Patriots could give them a run. I wonder if somebody could find a common denominator between those two teams?

Sure, but fourth liners matter still. Is he a good fourth line/pk specialist with a bad contact or is he just a bad player?

I really don't know a lot about this guy.  Analytics guys seem down on him, but the traditionalists seem to like him. I get that his contact is too long and maybe half a mil too high, but what exactly is the issue with his play? The little I have heard makes him sound a bit like Komorov but a...

The Weber pick was never the Leafs though. If Nashville received that for the belfour signing that was just a new pick the league created not the Leafs pick they had to give up for signing him.

I wonder if the market for jvr isn't as good as we hope. There isn't a shortage of scoring wingers available this year with Nash, Grabner, Kane, patches, Hoffman, Vanek etc all more likely to be traded than jvr is

Every time I hear the announcers mention Pulock my heart skips a beat before my brain remembers Polak isn't playing
