  1. I don't think there is a single team in the NHL that NEED an Eriksson to make the cap floor now... the cheapo teams also got their own RFA's to sign up too.
  2. If Gaudette gets sent down.. that can only mean one thing: still stuck with Sutter!! Ohhhhhhhhhh crap!
  3. I hope you're right!!!! If not, I'm gonna buy an Eriksson jersey (knock-off) and use it for my campfire!
  4. All good if Fatenburg can skate and hit!! That's an upgrade over Schenn!
  5. How?? Even if we walk away from negotiating with Motte, Leivo and Goldobin... still a $1M off I think...
  6. Just took a quick look at CapFriendly for any decent forwards left in the UFA market that may fit our cap room and still offer good value: Vanek (yes again please!), Maroon (love his size/grit), Lindberg (Swedish & versatile), Sheahan (still some upside?) Any of these guys you would prefer over our RFA group below? RFA's remaining: Goldobin, Leivo, Motte
  7. But at least they accomplished a lot to improve the team in a flurry of deals!! Barrie, Kerfoot > Kadri Marleau aging and declining, gave up a first pick to clear $6M+ Ceci > Zaitsev, Brown Spezza is still a pretty good 3C for such a low price Let's give JB rest of the summer to work some magic... coz our forward group just isn't good enough.
  8. This is so unfair... the Leafs did whatever they wanted to get cap space... trading Marleau, Kadri, Zaitsev.... boom! Just like that!! And for us, we are still scratching our heads as to how our team will look next season still being stuck with overpaid under-performers like Sutter and Eriksson... pretty damn funny to see on TSN today that we have the richest 4th line in Eriksson - Beagle - Sutter.
  9. But there's also a bigger risk he'll get dumped to minors just like with Anaheim last season. There was already a good mutual fit with him playing alongside Hughes. Just saying he's taking a greater risk not staying, that is all.
  10. Pirri got $1.5M for 2 years!!! Can play all 3 forward positions... you can't tell me he's any worse than Goldobin for that price...
  11. I also know our team didn't try hard enough to find good bargains...
  12. Just found out Schenn got 1-year, $700k deal with Tampa... and we couldn't beat that and picked up Fatenburg instead?? What gives??
  13. Yes!!! Our top 6 retool is complete, pending his first 10-game trial! No BS here... he got 50 pts in 65 games last season... the guy knows how to produce offensively!!
  14. Had a fine season in 2017-18 and suddenly gone dry.... hmmmmm... becoming Tanev-like? JB doesn't feel Sautner and Brisebois can get a few games?
  15. Why to be confirmed?? Some mystery team slid in a last minute bid? Oh boy... Myers could be asking for 7x7 now!!!
  16. Ur head is right!! Who's gonna walk away from that much $?? Unless someone can make the bus rides and food so unbearable?? That should motivate our prospects to work their asses off to make the jump to NHL while resenting Eriksson so badly lol...
  17. How about Eriksson + Goldobin + Tanev?? Go big or go home!
  18. I'm a huge Jake V fan but I'm not even counting on him to be a consistent top 6 forward... I think JB will pick up an affordable guy like Berglund who's desperate to get a short term deal to prove himself again... I like his resume!
  19. Honestly man... I won't lose sleep over Nyquist or Marcus Johansson... I would rather see him make a ballsy move in trading picks + any combo of Sutter/Eriksson + Gaudette/Virtanen/Tanev to land is another quality forward or two! Failure to do a shakeup or sign up a low risk, high reward winger will just slightly improve the team but no real hopes for playoffs!
