So you're saying the Leafs will get rid of Nylander if they can then, right? Because they're not going to have room under the cap to sign Tavares or Thornton for more than one year. Even for a king's ransom I can't see either of those guys signing a one year deal. I could be wrong.CarltonTheBear said:

I'm not sure the Leafs do anything more than kick the tires of Tavares

You can absolutely fit Tavares and the big-3 into the cap long-term. Especially if the team can make the 3rd year of Marleau's contract disappear. It's a topic that was looked at here: https://mapleleafsnation.com/2018/04/10/the-leafs-and-john-tavares-are-a-great-match/
It would of course effect the teams ability to get a big name RD but who knows if the opportunity for that will ever come up in free agency.

Based on the accounts that we have though Toronto was probably Stamkos' 2nd option after Tampa... so it's not as if the Stamkos talk was unwarranted.

I swear I honestly forgot Martin was on the team for a second.

If the big name RD was a possibility then it would make sense to investigate flipping Nylander (for example) for picks/prospects -- we'll need to continue to have a pipeline of cheap guys coming up from the minors. Tavares is better (though more expensive) and at a more valuable position (center ... at least he's better at center than Nylander will ber in the short term) than Nylander so replacing Nylander with Tavares on the roster is a win. Getting back a treasure trove of picks and prospects for Nylander would make it even more of a win.

Can't see Babs putting him in. The team has won 3 of 4 without him....0 and 2 with him...Choice seems as easy as the insert Martin debate!Zee said:

Here's a fun story: I was watching the game about 15 minutes behind time because I paused it to help put my little girl to bed. Unbeknownst to me, my wife set up recording shows at 10pm.
So the F'ing TV thing goes live to The National at 10pm, immediately wiping out the last 15 minutes of the game. There was nothing, absolutely nothing, I could do. So I login here to make sure they held on...I was very happy to see that they did, but super pissed about missing the final part of the 3rd.
So anyways, can someone tell me what Brown did, and what Plekanec did (other than score, which I obviously didn't see) to impress us so much? What did I miss?
