2019-2020 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

[CarltonTheBear]

Wait, ugh, that's a tweet from 2014!

*shakes fist*

 

[Goaliedave31]

Has anyone looked at the date on this? December of 14.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

A projected cap of 73M.  The Leafs are pretty much screwed.

If this was the case there would be other measures involved to help teams out. Guaranteed. Most of the league would be completely screwed here, not just the Leafs.

Yeah, I agree. 

*deletes my posts*

I can't believe you fell for this frank.

Chatting about Robertson, KHL imports and other stuff

Looking back on this season, one of the regrets I have and a place where I went wrong is that I think we probably should have given [Robertson] a few NHL exhibition games so that he had that under his belt heading into future seasons and played the long game a little bit more. That is something I look back on and regret because I think he did earn them. We just, at that time, felt that we were going to get to our pro guys and have our other players go back to junior. We wish we would?ve done that, but we will give him every opportunity this year.

A projected cap of 73M.  The Leafs are pretty much screwed.

We have 76.9M tied into the roster right now of:

Forwards: Matthews, Tavares, Marner, Nylander, Kerfoot, Hyman, Kapanen, Engvall
Defense: Rielly, Muzzin, Sandin, Rosen, Marincin, Holl
Goal: Andersen, Campbell

So 4 forwards short of a full roster and no healthy scratches and still have to cut 3.9M in cap space to get cap compliant.  There are going to have to be some pretty creative things done to protect teams.

April Fools ends at noon, dude.

Hmmmm....

Would have been nice to see Robertson get a pre-season game.

I thought they might keep him around for a little bit since SDA survived for about a week and played a pre-season game last season. Obviously not to give him a chance to make the team but just to have him experience a NHL camp for a little bit.

Especially looking at the 2014 date!!

Yeah, well, maybe...but I still hate those 2 deals.

A nice big FO to LK...noon is the hard deadline.

 

[L K]

Yeah, sorry everyone.  I tried to make it by the Noon deadline.  I think technically I started the post well before noon and then got tied up on the phone before I could finish.  Completely forgot it was April 1st until about 11:00AM.

Yah, liar, I don't believe you.

I think you had this post drafted and saved, waiting for April 1st when idiots like Carlton would take the bait...hook line and sinker.

I think you're sick.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

This is the last time I ever trust a doctor.

 

[L K]

This is the last time I ever trust a doctor.

To be honest I was kind of hoping for a more detailed breakdown from you on how Pridham has this one all ready to go.

Dubas has probably been scouting ushers to fill in on the 4th line.

I was definitely thinking of exactly that. But at the same time, we started the season with Babcock and I?m not sure how that would?ve played out. Robertson making a list of who is working the hardest?

Probably doesn?t warrant a full thread so here we go.

Rubins has worked his way up from the Growlers to being a mainstay Marlie. Kral is graduating the the CHL for next season and will likely flit between the Growlers and the Marlies.

 

[Highlander]

A little surprised by Kral, but good to see him get a further chance. Rubins is alway 6 4 or whatever.

Spezza has declared intent for the Leafs.

 

[Highlander]

Dubas keeps busy this week, looks like he just picked up two interesting prospects for nothing:
