Sergei Bobrovsky Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 "While a buyout of Liles would have the Leafs affecting their cap for 6 years, it would given them $2,583,333 in extra space for this year9:12am - 30 Jul 13" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 If I was Kadri and Franson I would ask for more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 If they do I'd sign him for 1.5M~ to run our PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'm sure if he got bought out there would be interest from a few teams. He is still a pretty good player that can help run a PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Liles is a very underrated player and despite the Leafs buying him out, guess they have to sign Kadri and Franson with the extra money. ...while Liles may not play the best defensively, he sure knows how to produce points and in that way is a bit of an Ehrhoff type player. Wouldn't mind if Canucks signed him if they want to keep Corrado in the minors for this year. Unlikely to happen, but just throwing it out there...I personally wanna see Fistric signed...big Canadian dman who hits anything moving. I'd take that over another offensive dman anyday.

Apple Juice Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 If it's to sign Kadri and Franson, it's not worth it. Get rid of Kulemin first. Plus, they've already used both of their compliance buyouts so buying Liles out will count against their cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Juice Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Why do people suggest they trade Kulemin? This is what the Leafs' roster will look like once they re-sign Kadri and Franson/buy out Liles: JVR - Bozak - Kessel Lupul - Kadri - Clarkson XXXXX - Bolland - Kulemin Mclaren - McClement - Orr Phaneuf - Gunnarsson Gardiner - Franson Reilly - Ranger Reimer Bernier Their top six is set and they can afford to trade/buy out Liles since they have guys like Morgan Reilly and Paul Ranger to replace him. The Leafs already have a hole to fill at the third line LW, trading Kulemin would give them two. Unless Nonis packages him for an upgrade that would not be very good GM'ing.

Pears Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 You're missing Joe Colborne on the 3rd and then they have some guy named Trevor Smith signed for a year.. edit: honestly, I'd rather see them trade Kulemin, sign both Kadri and Franson, and use Paul Ranger as a forward on the 3rd/4th line. I know he's better at D but think about it, it could turn out to be another Brent Burns project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Kesler Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Another unnecessary move by Nonis to free up cap space created by the stupid contracts he handed out. Liles could help drive play from the back end and QB the PP. I say sign him if he's willing to accept 2-2.5 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 So Colbourne is gonna out play Dave Bolland for the 3C position? And that's logical fallacy. The only reason Brent Burns has succeeded at forward is because he played forward in junior, also note that he plays with Joe Thornton. Paul Ranger is a defenseman. Period. If the Leafs don't sign a 3LW they can use a prospect (Biggs?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Fraser will be in over Reilly/Ranger, he and Franson have insane chemistry. If Reilly has a strong camp I think Ranger starts as the #7 D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
