Dubey 1,035 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I was thinking of my favourite non-playoff Leafs memory of this year. I think it's close between Lupul's end-to-end rush to break a 3-3 tie against Carolina, or Kessel's first goal of the year, against Winnipeg to break a 1-1 tie late. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 I am very excited for next year...I am finally getting over what happened.. I know some people think we are far from a cup contender, however with one big splash in trade and 3 or 4 solid moves, we can be right there.. GO LEAFS GO We need to lock up Kessel and Phaneuf(I know some people will laugh at the Dion extension) Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The term "Dion extension" is definitely funny. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I'm ok locking up Phaneuf, but he needs to take a pay cut. He's currently the 8th highest cap hit d-man... and he's not in the top 10 best d-men in the league... he's making 6.5, I'd be ok with 4.5 or 5... consider cap is going down, etc. No issues giving Kessel 6 or 7 though.

Agreed 100 percent. Dion is a great dman when he doesn't have to play 30 min. I break the bank for Kessel. Dion 5 years $20 mill maybe. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 That's because you don't watch the games and listen to media Dion 5 years $20 mill maybe. You just insulted Adam for not watching the games and listening to the media for all his information, and then in the next post, you asked your captain to take a 40% pay cut, which is pretty much unheard of.

He , like others feel extending Dion is bad. Pay cut naturally. Cap going down Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I think Adam was just saying that "Dion Extension" is a funny sounding term, but I could be wrong. If Kessel's agent is half-way competent, he'll be getting 8 Million for 7+ years. I can't see Dion taking less than 6.5. He'd get that on the open market. Cap hit will be back at 70 within 2 years anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Looking forward to next year , looking at our new division..Has me a little worried..What do you guys think: In Alphabetical Order: Boston Buffalo Detroit Florida Montreal Ottawa Tampa Bay Toronto Other than Florida, there is no guarantee bad team IMO....Buffalo should get better and Tampa has the talent.. Boston, Montreal, Ottawa, Detroit and Toronto...All playoff teams from this year..Only 3 teams are guranteed a spot..Then two wild cards in the conference. I think the other eastern division is weaker Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Buffalo is not going to be better next year. We're a contender for the #1 overall. Too bad it's not the Connor McDavid sweepstakes, but maybe we'll suck the year after as well to get in on him. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Do you think they trade Ryan Miller? I have zero doubt that Miller will be traded. He wants out, his house is on the market if not sold already, and his backup just won a World Championship for Sweden with a sparkling record. I'm thinking he'll end up in St. Louis...hopefully for Berglund. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Interesting, why St Louis? They already have two good goalies. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Interesting, why St Louis? They already have two good goalies. I'm basing that on my thinking that Halak will be bought out or traded for scraps since he's so injury prone, and Elliott is much better in a strong backup role behind a proven starter. Miller/Elliott could take St. Louis the distance next year. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Does it feel like playoffs are harder to make now with the new divisions? I mean, obv it's one team harder overall in the East, but looking at the divisions, you can almost instantly pick out the 3 locks. Optically, it just seems tougher... mirage maybe. Probably no different with the wild cards. Link to post Share on other sites

Miller/Elliott could take St. Louis the distance next year. Jake Allen did pretty good in his mid-season run ... 9 - 4 - 0 0.905 Halak's sv% 0.899, Elliot sv% 0.907 But yes, Ryan Miller would be perfect in this situation; vet goal for a team going for it & only signed for one more year.

Interesting. I think next year in StL its Allen+Elliott though. I might be wrong, but I still think Halak is a #1. (that may just be hope for a desperate poolie in a keeper league) Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Halak would be a top 5 goalie in the NHL if he could stay healthy for 60+ games, but his own history claims he can't. All the skill, but the body is half the battle. Link to post Share on other sites
