Based on the intermission panel, I wonder if picking up Shea Weber's contract makes sense?  Create a little artificial room for salary?

I didn?t hear the discussion - but he?s got what - 5 years left and almost 8 mil a season? I?m not sure if the team has to pay his salary or insurance does, but 40 mil seems like a steep price to pay for some cap room.
7.857 hit for 4 more years but he's paid 3, 1, 1, 1

Ohhh ok. That makes more sense.
 
Dubas of course is going to tell the press like he did yesterday that he's go complete confidence in his goalies.  If that's true, let''s get a new GM.  If it isn't, he's boned.

LTIR for all of it gives the Leafs money to sign a few for sure...one won't be Jack though if he keeps this up.

I?m sorry but this absolutely a goalie problem. Another defenceman will not fix this.

If anything I've been impressed generally with how good the defence has been with Muzzin out.
 
Campbell played himself out of a long term contract. Sucks for him. Imagine if the Leafs signed him to a deal then this started.

What's he going to say? Jack sucks?
 
Yeah, Jack Campbell is not an NHL goalie at this point.  5 goals a game is impossible to win consistently.  Are there defensive problems with the team, yeah....and the goalie is making them worse rather than exposing them.

Seriously what do you want him to say ?yeah my goalies suck and I absolutely need a new goalie. I hope me saying this doesn't drive up the asking price for an already slim market of available goaltenders.?
 
That was a furious final 3 minutes.

Game highlights: Robertson's 1st, Tavares with one and Matthews with two goals.
Losing cause. Sigh.
 
Campbell's confidence is shot, he looks terrible tracking pucks, seeing through traffic, moving in the net.  Looking more like all his success was just a mirage.

Lots of posters were saying better sign him now...the price is going up. Dubas wanted to wait to see how he'd do, guess he's finding out along with everyone else.

No, Dubas of course is going to tell the press like he did yesterday that he's got complete confidence in his goalies.

What I don't get for the life of me is the Mrazek signing. 3 years at 3.8 million for a small goaltender with meh career numbers when he's played bigger minutes.

I'll give Dubas that much credit.

Actually, I think he was kind of in a corner at the end of last season.  Freddie wasn't going to re-signed, and Campbell had good numbers and did OK in the playoffs.  So why not run with him.  Unfortunately it looks like it could sink the team.

Ok. I see what you?re saying now. I interpreted differently.
