yall biting on imbask's trolls too easily

 

[imBask]

A team can change radically in six years. Then again the Leafs haven't done much in the past 10 years.

The Leafs definitely don't have "nothing" - they are close to having nothing, but Marner, Nylander, Rielly, and Kadri alone go against that notion.

Marner and Nylander are both question marks. I will never trust junior stats, the NHL is something else and many of them never adapt properly

 

[zroid]

well there it is

Craig Custance ‏@CraigCustance 23s23 seconds ago
Annual salary breakdown of the Dustin Byfuglien contract: $8 million, $8 million, $8 million, $8 million, $6 million.

 

[ryan299]

Jeez and I thought Letang's contract was terrible.

 

[imBask]

That is one insane contract, my god

Holy crap.

 

[Curufinwe]

Fair deal where Buff got a higher AAV for a shorter term.

He would have got 7 x 7 as a free agent.

 

[imBask]

and you fuckers laugh at me when I say Stamcock is getting 12M AAV

THESE IDIOTS GM CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

How many Big Macs can he get with that money?

 

[DopeyFish]

didn't Byfuglien say no to a 6/36M contract? did they really offer him more?!



I honestly think you guys have nothing, and it's nothing about the rivalry and nothing personal

next year the Leafs will have at least 4 prospects graduate... 2 of them elite level... and they'll still have one of the better prospect pools in the league... probably because they're expected to have at least 15 picks heading into the this years draft

 

[Cake Boss]

Its actually a decent deal for the jets. They don't have to pay a 38 year old Buff, 5 years is more manageable and the cap hit isn't that bad.

 

[Yawnier]

God damn that is a lot of money for Buff. I guess that is his big retirement contract though... probably. (Turns 31 next month)

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

That's not too bad for 5 years. Now the Jets can hand over Ladd.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I'm guessing Andrew Ladd is going to be dealt at the trade deadline.

Cmon Bergy...

Actually he said no Rentals...

Oh well.

Cmon RNH...

 

[calder]

Fucking sweet


In a meeting don't care every guy is on his phone lol

 

[zroid]

Mirtle says WPG may deal Trouba because they really like Myers

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Lmao.

What individual players get, e.g. Subban getting 8 x 9, doesn't affect the percentage of HHR going to the owners.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Maybe the Habs can trade Dale Weise to Winnipeg?

Pateryn,Gilbert and Weise for Trouba

?

that's not what i'm saying. If Buff is getting 7.5 a year, Stamkos the 25yo two times Maurice Richard trophy winner is DEFINITELY getting a 12M AAV contract

 

[Simon Belmont]

I'm trying to convince the wife to let me buy a truck. Wish me luck, GAF.

 

[MetatronM]

NOOOOOOOOOO


Edit: Beaten NOOOOOOOO


Editx2: Hand over Ladd then, Meta hand over Yandle.

Yandle and a pick or two for Ekblad.

 

[Curufinwe]

Assuming that's true, so what?

Not bad.

Even $6 million by the time he's 36 probably isn't the worst.

Make your pitch with a cowboy hat blaring country music.

 

[imBask]

Well I got called crazy for even mentionning it. Some people here think GMs "learned"

 

[Simon Belmont]

Make your pitch with a cowboy hat blaring country music.

That would probably have the opposite effect, I need to make my pitch with two car seats and a dog in the back.

I'm planning on a lot of grovelling.

Edit: of the cab, not the truck.

 

[zroid]

You can probably count the number of D-men who are better than Buff on one hand. I don't really think it's much of an overpayment, especially at the 5 year term.

Norrisson, Subban, Doughty, Keith are the ones I'd say for sure. Maybe Hedman, and a couple others.

 

[Samyy]

Lou must find a way to get Trouba without giving up Nylander and Marner

Spoiler

lol

uhhh, weber, suter maybe letang (at least with how hes playing right now)

 

[DopeyFish]

JVR

My first thought.

But who or what do we need to add?

 

[zroid]

Suter and Letang are the other maybes.

Weber lolno

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Yandle and a pick or two for Ekblad.

Let me tell you of David Bolland...

 

[MetatronM]

Let me tell you of David Bolland...

I can sweeten the deal with a Daniel Paille.

 

[Samyy]

My first thought.

But who or what do we need to add?

JVR is on pace for 58-60 points on an offensively inept team, on a really good team friendly deal, so hopefully we wouldn't have to add much

But they'll want the world for a guy like Trouba.

 

[imBask]

Alexei Emelin, 6' 2" 216 lb is such a great defenseman, I can't believe Bergevin would trade him, he's so good! He really loves the color BLUE for some weird reason! He would be such a good piece for a team that would win in, let's say the next 6 years...

I wonder who could want this fine gentleman, who loves medias and won't crack under pressure

did I mention he likes the color blue?

 

[Foggy]

Habs blew it, word is they could've traded Emelin for Anisimov last year. YA BLEW IT BERGY!

 

[Razorskin]

:lol GIVE THAT MAN 7 MILLION DOLLARS

Close enough.

Nonis would've probably been sold on this

 

[Socreges]

It's been a banner day for bizarre logic

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Emelin for Rychel is still an Option.

 

[Yawnier]

Nonis would've probably been sold on this

Probably

He traded Gunnarsson + 4th round pick + retained salary for Roman fucking Polak.

Man that trade still pisses me off

Liles for Gleason is still the worse D-man swap

at least we might be able to get something out of Polak at the deadline. 4th sounds about right.

A 4th? Dream big, zroid!
There still must be a few stupid GMs left in the league

ALLLL BRANNNNN MURRRRRAAAAYYYYYYYY !!!!!!

 

[Samyy]

ALLLL BRANNNNN MURRRRRAAAAYYYYYYYY !!!!!!

Why would they trade for Trouba when they have defensive stalwarts Ceci and Cowen

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Let me tell you of David Bolland...

The Leafs need David Bolland.

Bolland for Spaling.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Way easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.

Yeah, he's 2nd in the league in D scoring this decade.

http://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/seasons/2010s-nhl-defensemen-stats.html

A team like the Jets who are nowhere near the cap ceiling and have trouble getting free agents would be crazy to let him walk, assuming they haven't seen any red flags while watching him every day for the past six seasons.
