Off season moves:

Sign Joe Thornton to a 1 year, 6M deal.

Then:

TOR: Nielsen, Leivo, 2018 3rd
DAL: Jason Spezza (1.5M retained)

I don't think Leivo and Neilsen will ever have a future with Toronto but Dallas is looking for depth scoringup front but also young LHD's. We've got plenty of those.

Line Projections:

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Johnsson-Kadri-Marner
Marleau-Thornton-Kapanen
Grundstrom-Spezza-Brown

Rielly-Hainsey
Gardiner-Zaitsev
Dermott-Carrick/ Ozhiganov

Very curious on this Ozhiganov guy. I don't know too much about him but I know he's a very solid a physical defencemen. Could be a real gem if he pans out to be like Zaitsev and plays a heavy game.

I know when you contribute a idea the fun would begin. Your a real piece of work hahaha

So your going to throw Leivo Neilsen and a third overboard
Then pay Jason Spezza 6 million big ones to play on forth line .

Who in NHL pays a forth line center 6 million piece of work.
Thornton coming off major injury but it's ok throw 6 million at him as well.

Then you keep status que on defence not mention Holl and have Gardiner and Zaitsev paired together.

Younger players will improve and put up better numbers. But you have added 12 million let Jvr and Bozak go and added two players who are less talented at this stage than JVR and Bozak

You little bill shooter you.

Lets look at what we do know about Ozhiganov.

Lets look only evidence we might have

Marchenko couldn't play on leaf team coached by Babcock
Marchenko had better numbers than Ozhiganov on same Russian team this season.

Just watch what happens but at end of day Holl is going to make leaf team. Very inexpensive in two year deal he signs summer 1 million per.

No to spezza. His production has fallen off a cliff. He’s got one more year of that contract Dallas can suck it up. Dallas couldn’t give Spezza to us, let alone us give them players back.

No to Thornton too. $6M is a lot of money and can buy us younger and more productive player than No Show Joe.

What defencemen to fill right side top pairing would you go after via trade. I always say Faulk or Stone Calgary but I'm really missing the boat. There is someone out there that might be available in trade . You did mention Larson who else might be a target. You beat me in hockey knowledge.

Do the leafs have the will to go after Boston with total effort to me tonight is the series. Matthews marker Nylander and lunch hockey middle guys need to deep down deep. let's send Boston back to Toronto really thinking.

Singing to the same choir? Isn't it bad enough that you post ridiculous proposals, but now you can't even get a colloquialism right? Brilliant.

Mackin used an idiom. Maybe you should start posting about hockey. That is what this site is about. Or better yet, just stop posting altogether. You sound like a damn fool, and your insulting little snippets are unwelcome on this site.

Mackin

My ultimate first choice for RHD would be Doughty. You don’t seem to think we can land him. So others I would suggest are Manson or Montour from Anaheim, Myers off Winnipeg, Larsson off Edmonton, Kieth off Chicago, and less preferably OEL or Karlsson.

Karlsson is going to cost a lot of money. Probably as much as Doughty, and his stats have been dropping like a stone last couple years. He’s marginally better than Gardiner this year, and will be twice the price.

Leafs can beat Boston. I put $50 on them to win in six, so I’m really counting on the boys in blue to pull through.

Go Leafs.

1) why would Babcock put his 4th line out vs Boston 1st line with 51 seconds left in the period (Boston scores, never looked back)

He must have had one of the other 3 lines fresh . and your 51 seconds away from a 15 minute rest .

Cost them the game .

2) why isn’t Martin drawing in for this game in Boston? My god . What a couple of true coaching errors .

I took a line from goodfellas when spider gets shot cleaned it up a little. we will see tonight leafs need this one badly just to gain confidence I hope u win your bet

Cheers

I think all your guys could be had with doughty money will not be his issue as all teams will offer same but L. A can give 8th year . Then you have to convince him to leave L. A. It's tough.

Your right Martin should go in Kadri was only trying to protect marner. He got nailed by elbow. Boston are nasty FM spell it backwards. It breaks my heart if Leafs get steamrolled we learn tohnight. Can leafs top players push harder.
