So prices have dropped drastically from last year?
- Fakepartofme

Not on D men. Forwards seem to be going for a dime a dozen, but solving our problem are going to cost.

Random question. If the Leafs were to go after, say, Parayko, can they have St Louis retain on the remainder of this year only? My gut says no, but I'm not 100% sure.

Would be nice to grab someone like him with term, but I don't think we can make it work unless we ship out Brodie, and I'd like to keep him to play the left side where he is MUCH better. Cost would be too steep to have STL retain on the rest of his contract, but if it can be worked to retain this year alone it's possible, (even though I don't think that's how it works).

Your gut is correct. Retention is towards the AAV, so you can't pick and choose when retention applies.

Could be big steal for the panthers. But considering the panthers style of play, which seems pretty physical, taresenko doesnt seem to fit that mold. Unless he is more physical than i recall him to be?

I love that ottawa has had so many complete bust years in a row with not much to show for it.
But i honestly did think at the beginning of the year they could battle for a playoff spot.
Ah well, F them.
Lol

It would be a great option to have though. Imo

Let’s save Brady.

Last year the Leafs added RoR, which allowed them to have another strong C option when AM was not out there. It helped.

they need to do the same. another C who can hold here own against top lines. dont have to score a lot..but not get caved in (domi/will/bert)

I wonder what team spatso will switch to next.

But why? This year is a complete bust for OTT and he walks at the end of the year. Isn't two draft picks, (even as low as they are), better than nothing?
- Whipper

It is, but there has to be a level of respect that you demand from the other GMs. If you want the guy, he costs at least a 2nd. He's better than Mantha why are you selling him for less AND retaining to boot? At some point the bigger long road picture might be - you set the price with GMs, let them know you're open for business, but make sure you don't waffle or fold at the slightest hint of adversity.

ah ya, that makes sense.
- The Law

It makes no sense.

If that's all they are offering, why are you trading him Wednesday morning?

When it comes to these boards the righties are no better. Routinely delete posts supporting either side. Not a topic meant for this site.

Sandin 4.6 x 5 years. This seems like a lot of dough for him.

It really is glorious to watch.

That’s not political that’s ownership. female dog about them all you want lol. Especially with anything built 2019 or later. Anyone moving into something that young under rent is asking for horror.

I think spatso has a few more years left on his current fanbase contract. Plus he comes with a NWHC (nobody wants him clause)

3rd and 4th for Tarasenko with 50% retained

See if Lars eller is cheaper, get him 1 more season.
