Figuring out what to do with that cap hit in year 3 when Matthews, Nylander, and Marner are making a combined $24 million is going to be... a challenge

This is Lou we're talking about it. He'll find a loophole I'm sure.

Yeah it's going to be challenging to decide which illness he'll succumb to in order to be on LTIR.

I doubt Marleau will play a second of hockey for the Leafs in that third year. LTIR ahoyyyy

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Marleau brings the leadership and intangibles you can't place a dollar value on. Until Lou did.

nah man they have NO advantage in putting players in LTIR according to dopey

 

[Merguson]

This means Roman Polak won't return right?

 

[Cactus]

Fuck it, let's sign Jumbo Joe too. Lou can make a beard exception for him.

 

[DopeyFish]

I say let's go for it.

3 top lines? Sure why not.

Let's trade rielly for duchene while we're at it. Who needs defense when all you do is score?

 

[imBask]

I wonder what number will be assigned to Marleau. 73 sounds good right?

Let's not leave Jagr out in the cold.

Come on in Jagr.

 

[Fata1moose]

Interesting that Marleau doesn't want to win the Cup.

 

[Red_Man]

The amount of Leafs writers / journalists already acknowledging he won't play that third year is hilarious and kind of fucked up.

 

[ElephantShell]

Marleau is going to literally get murdered in year 3 so the Leafs can get out of this horrible deal.

 

[Merguson]

Hey guys.

Hear me out.

What if Marleau plays good enough to play in Year 3 of his contract?

 

[shadowkat]

WTF did we just do?

 

[Yawnier]

Am praying to the hockey gods that Marleau will replace Hymen on Matthews' left wing

 

[yyzjohn]

Hyman will not be broken away from Matthews.

 

[zroid]

Marleau is one of those iron man dudes right?

probably not even Lou will be able to fake an injury on that guy.

 

[Fata1moose]

Prediction: Avs won't trade Duchene, start out hot on a somewhat lucky streak, Duchene will kiss the A on the jersey and everything will be fine.

 

[lupinko]

We can get JAROMEER JAGER too?

Kind of wish the Leafs did end up getting Thornton now, because if you're going to be absolutely stupid about money at least go all in.

Marleau-Matthews-Nylander
JVR-Thornton-Marner

My God....

 

[zroid]

Dimitri is going IN

 

[Acid08]

It's funny to see all these Marleau experts now. Y'all are wild.


Also shoutouts to DW trading our best offensive prospect in Goldobin for a 3rd liner and then losing Marleau. You the real MVP my guy.

He has excellent bust potential.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Will Lou make him trim his eyebrows?

 

[bonesmccoy]

uh

ok

er

what

 

[Coldnoodle]

If he plays with Matthews it might offset the aging.

 

[Smiley90]

uhm

uhmmmm


leafs

wat

welcome to Robidas Island soon?

but seriously, wat.

 

[Acid08]

He has excellent bust potential.

He'll have more goals than Boedker this season. Goals we could kinda use after losing Marleau.

 

[Cactus]

Marleau - Matthews - Nylander
JVR - Bozak - Marner
Komarov - Kadri - Brown
Martin - Moore - Kapanen/Soshnikov/Hyman/Leivo

Pretty good. Marleau will enjoy playing with Matthews.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Dutch Gretzky is a saint and I'll hear no different

FriedgeHNIC: One last note: word from overseas is one of Russia's Olympic targets, Evgeni Kuznetsov, is re-signing with WASH. Looks around 8x$7.8M

Island of Dr. Marleau, smelly.

But... Dale Weise is Dutch Gretzky...

 

[ShaneB]

I despise these 8 year deals.

 

[Foreign Jackass]

lol

 

[bonesmccoy]

Silver lining? No more Hyman on the 1st line.

Maybe

 

[DopeyFish]

lol

Washington

Please give backstrom for some sweet sweet nylander love

 

[CreeperBlocks]

lol

There's still time to trade Ovi

 

[Zombie James]

I don't understand that Marleau contract at all. One year, great. Two years, eh, ok. But three? For a 37yo on the decline? What the fuck? His contract comes with a one-way ticket to Robidas Island, no doubt.

We can't buyout Orpik now.

Ugh.

I wish our third liners scored 27 goals

 

[Cactus]

I think Marleau is the one guy who Babcock likes more than our buddy Zach.

It'll be interesting to see where Hyman plays. Leafs are gonna have to move at least one forward before the season starts.
