He's also 4(?) Years older and thus theoretically his play will drop off 4 years earlier. Let's talk half way through these deals since you like being wrong so much about these things.

We'll see.

Yes I understand that there are many small players that make and impact in today's game. There are even more that fizzle out because they can't overcome size.

Let's just say I'm kinda glad he'll be taken before we draft.

That's definitely a good time to take a chance on him.

More room in the KHL. Different ice.

Idk. Put me in the skeptical camp.

Bedard is 35 pounds heavier lol

His size doesn't scare you? He makes bedard look like a UFC fighter.

I don't remember even one of these high cap hit low salary players traded to a cap floor team for an asset. Just a pipe dream as far as I'm concerned. It didn't happen with LE. It's not happening with Myers. It's definitely not happening with OEL.

@HKSR Are you a wizard?

Especially once you consider that barzal pretty much hasn't played since Bo arrived, their Play looks even better.

What do you guys think of Andrew cristall?

You represent everything I hate in a Leafs fan.

Shit. You're right. F this dude.

So for the buyout I fear that there will be a year of like 6mill in dead cap. Preventing us to re sign a core player. At this point if we can find a guy to play 3ld for league minimum (like wolianen) I say we staple OEL to the press box as a 7d for the remainder of his contract or he retires. We can even expedite that process if we send him to Abby and get 1m cap relief to offset the cost of wolianen. We gave up a first to get this plug. I'm not willing to give up another one to ship him out so he can ride into the sunset. He needs to be held accountable.

How much dead cap are we stuck with after his buyout

I'm just going to come out and say it... Zegras is the most overrated player in the NHL.

Yet their situations are the same. It's actually more likely that AD signs with us BECAUSE we're the team that drafted him.

I have a bigger question. Why won't McDonough?

WhY wOuLd He SiGn WiTh Us. He CaN cHoOsE aNy OtHeR tEaM.

Maybe... But it's a different story when you factor in the mountain of money he's owed for the next eternity.

Oh I think it's very accurate.

Yup... But hey just like our last 2 gms, after JR is done f**king this team up, he'll be shit canned and we'll be left watching the new York Jets of the NHL.
