Makes sense then for the Leafs to get the summer cap break if it doesn’t cost the owner anything

Doesn’t Toronto have to pay his salary now? Wow, thats an expensive 4th round pick

We have a lot of natural centres on this team that can cover for Gaudette if he doesn’t deserve it. We also don’t really have a 4th line this year. The 4th and 3rd lines are going to be equally as good.

The best move they could do right now is to trade Sutter so Gaudette has a job

No he is under contract in the KHL for next season

Wow an article about 3 reasons why the Canucks will be tougher next year and then list 4 players JB signed or traded for. Wow great reporting hockey news! Must have been hard to write that article.

Beagle’s contract will be pretty hard to move without eating salary. However, he is very valuable for what he brings, just not at the price he gets. I’d rather dump Eriksson, Schaller, and Sutter as we don’t really need what they bring anymore

True except that not every team drafted in the bottom 10 multiple years in a row. Washington pretty much guaranteed the playoffs unless Ovie goes down with a season ending injury. Canucks have a lot more if’s than one guy. Lots of teams are pretty much guaranteed the playoffs. However with Benning’s additions since July 1, it looks a lot more like we have a decent chance at the playoffs

If Boeser wants to take a year off for holding out, let him wreck is own career. Nylander definitely will be black-balled in the future by almost every team in the league. Summer is early, a deal will get done, and it will be reasonable

Save a horse, ride a cowboy

Very true, but my initial opinion has been changed, who knows how it turns out, but I do now support it.

Why develop one when you can sign one for 3.5 million for 4 years and can put up 20 goals a season

Too bad this is a thread about Leivo, not Pearson

This is just insane. What a great contract. Ferland signs for less years than Tanev. This looks either really good for Vancouver or really bad for the Penguins. I think both JB has completely transformed this team’s physicality in 2 weeks. Reaves or Lucic would put us over the top! However with Ferland, I’m off the Lucic push. Just try to dump Eriksson please

I’m going to come out and just admit, I was wrong. I am totally fine with this trade and think JB did a great job. I didn’t know he was going to overhaul this team as much as he did after this trade. With the additions of Myers, Benn, and now Ferland, this Miller trade looks a like a great deal for us. I did say earlier in this thread, I like the player and hate the trade. I’ll admit when I’m wrong. I like the player and I like this trade. Props to JB I didn’t think he could do this many quality changes at good contracts lengths and dollars as he did. This is worth a contract extension. A lot of you guys that had it out with me earlier were right, I was wrong. My bad...

Get rid of Eriksson and Sutter and have both

Edmonton isn’t going to do that.

http://www.tsn.ca/1.1334614.1562596958 I would sure love to take a stab at him, I wonder what Edmonton would want in return. Does Holland have a history of not wanting to trade within the division?

I don’t see why I would be, I didn’t say we wouldn’t, I’m saying a lot of things need to happen to make the playoffs and we would need a lot of negatives to fall into the bottom 5. How is that not the truth?

I agree, but on the flip side, What if: Boeser isn’t his old self Pettersson has a sophomore slump Markstrom can’t repeat his breakout season Miller doesn’t find chemistry Hughes struggles in a top 6 role Tanev and Edler go down with injuries Then this year will be a bottom feeder. We all hope everything goes well and everyone performs as best they can but likely some of these what ifs do happen. All I can say is I’m excited for next year and getting rid of Eriksson and Sutter would push me over the top. Especially if they can add some muscle

People assuming this team is a playoff team is laughable. Sure if everything pans out the way we want, maybe but there are a lot of what ifs.

This needed a new thread? Terrible read btw

Leave the coaching to the pros

Dont think they would give him up unless we involve assets we don’t want to give up. Maybe we can send them LE and Sutter thought, that would be great!

I didn’t love the signing but I thought he’d be at least a consistent 50 point guy. We just need to get rid of him, not sure he’s good to rub off on the other guys
