***** the Leafs, Bruins took a nap most of that game.

He hasn’t done well in Vancouver until literally last game. I’d look for a slightly less expensive option. Back before his supposed contract talks he had been one of my favorites for the role however. How you originally responded had made me think you were sending Cozens out to make cap room

Using Chad's trade ideas and a few of my own https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/5083179

Was it taken back?

I want to win now but also later and exchanging a 23 year old for a 30 year old isn’t the answer

Frankly I see little to no scenario we buyout Skinner this offseason; the earliest I could see it is next season

I disagree purely on an age basis Cozens contract takes him to 29/30 years old Lindholm would be ages 29/30 through 36/37 The odds Lindholm is worth 7mil that long is practically null.

Meeting with the Girgs family?

Yes, but not at the ask price. He turned down 8x7mil in CGY

2-1 after a point shot found a wat through Syracuse gets to beat up and tackle our guys when they get down and the refs just look away.

The best way to describe the Leafs would be a soft core with rough skin. They have acquired tougher players but their Core 4 and 1D have little of it. You see it when Toronto is forced to stack their stars; their toughness drops off a cliff. Buffalo isn't any physical brute with their Top 4 and 1D but guys like Cozens, Dahlin, and Tuch are tougher than all 5 of the Leafs mentioned. Your more physical pieces must be capable of also being effective at hockey. Reaves is barely functioning and can't be used without hurting the Leafs play as a whole

Doesn't matter, Benedict Arnold was a good general but he was also a traitor. That being said the true star tonight is Thompson standing on his head

#### that traitorous bastard

Frankly, the lottery is what makes 1sts so much more valuable. When the Top 12 can give you #1, it inflates the value immensely versus 1sts from 13 on

La La La La John Jason Peterka has a shift His puck can be my puck too Whenever we skate out, our opponents always shout, there goes John Jason Peterka on a shift La La La La la

The best candidates for success would likely be Bennett or Karlsson. Stephenson would likely want Mitts money thus ending that option. I’d assume a good deal; once the lottery is over I’d be open to moving it.

That team hurts me constantly; they run counter to everything I love about hockey and its structures. Ironically my Armchair GM also ended up with issues for Quinn and Peterka only I used money on Matt Roy.

The trade for Karlsson is something I mostly like, I just feel it shouldn't require our Top C prospect to get since Vegas is going to have to move someone due to their absurd cap situation. (Plus I just really don't want to give Vegas another dynamic center) As for Toffoli, I do really like his experience and continued competence on the ice; however, even if I may want to push more for the present I really don't want to end up in a situation with Quinn, Peterka and Levi having great seasons but losing 1 because we need to retain a 33 year old winger. If Peterka or Quinn flame out it wouldn't be a problem but in the best case scenario I don't want all of our happiness to get stabbed viciously by losing a young star.

A random set of moves https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/5038481

Expected Buffalo had Toffoli at 2x7mil which is where my concern came from. At 2x3.5 you can make it work with some maneuvering. With 2x7mil you have no real options besides losing 1 or hoping you can bridge all 3 at reasonable rates

What makes it funny @Thorny ?

He talked with double digits, truly interviewed 3/4 A good way to fight off a question regarding who he talked to as no one will pursue the read people until late in the offseason.

Toffoli is 2x3.5mil here right otherwise I can't imagine us doing this as it would effectively doom any hope of resigning Levi, Quinn and Peterka.

We lost due to injuries on our defense finally sinking us; had McKee came back for Finals we'd have been better than Carolina in theory. That being said we'd of lost if we had to field 3 AHL depth defenseman for the whole Finals.

Frankly this seems nothing short of petty by Friedman. Its far too absolute to be true and I highly doubt Adams was outright lying when he said he spoke with double digits of candidates. Its far more believable to say Adams is stretching the truth or using a technicality than it is for him to blatantly lie to the press and fans while doing little to nothing for the past week. Plus we know for a fact Friedman holds a grudge against Adams and the Sabres due to our rather tight lipped front office and the whole Eichel situation in which Friedman carried Eichel's agents viewpoint at every turn.
