Canucks will probably need a few cheap contracts and prospects might not all be ready. yup, its a nice preview of potential role players for next year. If they work out and can be extended at their current deals that would be ideal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Leafs will take our depth and screw us in a cpl years when we hoping for a deep playoff run.. Until then we laugh at them. Leafs mgmt must be choked right now.. hey if we're that deep, sweet. Now if Vesey and Boyd combine on a couple of game winning goals, maybe Dubie will want revenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously.. No team would do something dumb like that.. Just something to laugh about after we took 2 of their depth players while they're trying to get ready for hopefully a deep run.. I've spent a lot of time in Toronto. I cheer for the Leafs as well as all Canadian teams. I'd love to see a Canadian team win the Cup this year. Jets and Leafs both have a chance. Jets are looking good right now too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch a lot of Caps hockey. I've watched a lot of Boyd of over the last 3 seasons.. They would much rather have Boyd as a solid depth player rather than save 150k cap space. They're choked he didn't clear. A solid 4th liner depth guy at 700k. Played with the Caps and won a Cup in 17/18.. his rookie year.. He only played 1 playoff game on the Caps Cup run but also played with them the following 2 seasons. .. He's been around a winning team and winning culture. He's a much better player since then, he would definetely help the Leafs.. Good piece for a team hoping to go deep. No team trying to make a deep run wants to lose Vesey and Boyd at 900k and 700k respectively, both on expiring contracts.

Jim would look like a genuis if he pulls that off and uses Boyd at 700k cap hit instead... Then maybe people will stop calling the whambulance over his cap management Yeah, haters will hate no matter what JB does.

That would really tick off Leaf fans if we got Ekholm. Fans are pushing hard on their boards thinking they’re likely to get him. So that’s two good reasons... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like they'd want OJ or Rathebone back vs this years 1st since the draft is a weird one, not really keen on that. I think we can get Edler back on a cheaper 1 year deal too.

ShawnAntoski Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 4 hours ago, Alain Vigneault said: Lol nah. I just don't see a reason to hate the Leafs or take shots at them. Then again, I'm not from BC (though I'd love to visit one day) and maybe I don't quite get the hate. Do 4PM starts on a weekend really irk a whole province? Kinda lame if you ask me but to each their own. In any event, Shanahan started the same time as Linden/Benning. In that time, more playoff appearances than us, about the same (if not slightly better or worse) drafting, and a lot of positive moves during that time. Most of the blunders (made by Lou Lamoriello) were dealt with quickly by Dubas and many of the moves Dubas has made are ones that we should try to emulate (locking up his core, free-agent signings, trades), IMO. Right now, all we have to show far is one playoff round win more than the Leafs have in a similar time frame. That's impressive but hardly a reason to turn our noses up at them and some of the good things they've done that we should also try to do. You (perhaps) conveniently forgot that the Laffs drafted Marner (4th) and Matthews (1st) during your timeline whereas JB has never drafted higher than fifth but I get it - you don’t like JB or just trolling cause all you do is nitpick his mistakes and non of what he has done well which is draft: Ep, QH, Demko and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this COVID era, trading assets for expensive aging talent is no longer a good move - imo; JB should just stay with drafting & development cause there is already a succession plan with his prospects coming in to replace his expensive mistakes (hindsight). Plus, all/most of his Big ticket signing (so far) has mostly been expensive mistakes, perhaps a sign for him to stick with drafting & development but all the pundits and etc.. calling for moves would have nothing to talk about and then complain about when the move(s) don’t work out - hard please unhappy people or in most cases, impossible if someone is just trolling.
