lol, sorry i should have been more clear, Both Sutter and Beagle gone from the bottom 6, PK, and face offs? hmmmmmmmm. For the teams sake next year lets hope we find NHL caliber replacements for those 2 if you get your wish.

 

I Have no info on either Boyd or Hawryluk playing center? do you?

 

More value? if being much less expensive means more value than you are correct. More valuable to me is who the Coaching staff has on the ice to win games.

 

I have no problem what so ever with Roussel let go or traded.

I guess a better way to phrase my counter is do Beagle and Roussel provide any value to winning games? How much of an impact are Beagles faceoffs having on the results of games?

I'm thinking the fact he's a righty will be the difference. With Beagle out and a possible Sutter move we need a righty. Any records of his faceoff percentage?

39.5% in his NHL career.

It’s called having fun and being competitive. I don’t envy any other teams. I bleed Canucks but if there was a team I’d strive to be I can tell you right now the Leafs would be at the bottom of my list.

Then you're personal bias against the Leafs would work against you.

 

You may not like the Leafs that doesn't mean they aren't a very good, entertaining, fun to watch, team with many star players..

 

I can think of many NHL teams I would have below the Leafs on my list..

 

For me BUF would be at the bottom of my list. No stability in management or coaching and a losing culture.

Shanahan is too busy building a team that's well equipped to make a deep playoff run this year

 

I doubt he cares about basement dwelling Vancouver.  Lol

I corrected it for you:

Shanahan is too busy building a team that's well equipped for another first round exit this year

Makes you wonder...

Players sign those cheaper contracts to be on a contender and boost their stats for a bigger contract.

 

You don’t sign with a rebuilding team unless they pay you way more.

I keep seeing mention of this pickup in relation to Sutter and Beagle. Don't think it has anything to do with them personally. Both Boyd and Vesey are wingers in the NHL.

 

Only way we potentially move Sutter is if Beagle is back before the TDL. We need at least ONE, matchup centre in lineup.

 

We also have current winger injuries and guys we could potentially be looking at moving out (Pearson, Virtanen, Gaudette, Roussel). Picking up these waiver guys had more to do with those two things than Beagle or Sutter IMO.

Good points. I agree this likely doesn't have anything to do with Beagle or Sutter, and more to do with our potentially moving wingers out. 

 

We need at least one matchup centre, definitely. And having dug through capfriendly to get an idea of how many of those might hit the ufa market there's actually a solid chance we retain Sutter. I love Beagle, he's got a lot of heart and he eats tough minutes, but he'll also be 36 in October. I don't see him being re-signed once his deal expires next July. Having just turned 32, there's more longevity for Sutter.

 

There don't look to be too many matchup centres hitting the ufa market. The one I've heard mentioned repeatedly is Lowry, but given he'll be prime ages at 28 come July, his size, and respectable bottom six totals he'll probably be in high demand. I figure Winnipeg will do everything they can to retain him as well.

We were more of a contender entering the year vs TO. TO is a pretender, got to win a playoff round before the word contender gets used imo haha!

But that would imply the Leafs have been contending for many seasons since they don't have any anchor contracts bringing them down.  Yet, Benning was brought in the same time as Shanahan.

 

Something isn't adding up here ;)

Roussel I have already stated my Opinion which seems to be in line with yours

 

Beagle, I have a lot of respect for, dollar value of contract signed not so much, but he was a Free agent with a Stanley cup, pedigree faceoffs, PK, defensive specialist

All of those factors to me have value in winning games. Same goes for Sutter but not at 4.35 mill.

 

Again, IMHO opinion, Sutter and Beagle as bottom 6 centers bring value to winning games and the Coaches actions, ice time seems to agree.

 

We defiantly will have a much different looking bottom 6 next year.

The greedy selfish players they have at the top don’t allow any money to be put towards other parts of their team B) ps the haters from leaf nation are the biggest pile of monkey sh#t on this planet!

Yea but those contracts listed were signed when we were full on rebuilding.

 

Throwing Eriksson in the mix there is also pointless. He was signed to that contract after a 30 goal season. No one could have predicted him falling off a cliff offensively.

If someone is offering a 1st for Sutter...

 

There was an article a while ago about Toronto “could” offer a 1st for Pearson...

They can always convince good old Toronto boys to sign with them.

 

Not to mention playing in the center of the universe with Matthews is gonna boost a players profile and payday much more than it would have in Vancouver during those same years. Many reasons why cheap UFAs would have chosen them over us.
