Derrico

I'd be surprised if Florida's owner would be willing to take on that contract. Edit - Unless it's frontloaded with the majority of dollars already paid.

Holy , I thought that was you :blink:

See that's why I asked. I was only able to catch the first 5 min of the Flyers game and the Philly announcers said it sounded like Gorges might be done for the season. Afterwards a google search provided no detail of that comment and nobody on here was really talking about it.

Ya I've got no qualms with the top 10.

Ya mez and balls have been....not good....

Thanks for the info, crazy to lose our top pairing of Myers and gorges within a week. Although it sounds like bogo played very well.

Damn autocorrect

Anyone know what's up with Georges?

Please be kind haha.

Neuvirth gets hurt or traded within the next month and even I say it's over. HAHAHAHA, so you didn't forget about that? I'll own it.

I'm still a wimp and not celebrating anything yet. But it was nice to hear bob Mackenzie on hockey hotline call us a virtual lock this morning.

Ok, well if they eat half of the salary then I could see a team jumping at it but then it's $3.5 mil in dead money for the leafs over the next 6 seasons (if that is indeed how it works). I just think that for a guy that is going to be in his thirties and starting the downside of his career in a year or two (he plays a physical game and has been injured often) I can't see justifying $7 mil in cap space devoted to this guy. From a leafs perspective, the length of the deal is so long that I would not want dead cap space 6 years out. I think that contract will make any future trade very difficult and the return will be reflected if he can be traded at all.

How many years can the leafs retain salary? I thought it was only for one season? If it's multiple then ok but if not I don't see a team wanting to trade for a 2nd pairing Dman who turns 30 in two months and is making $7 million per season for the next six years.

Is Phaneuf not virtually untradeable at this point? His contract is massive and he has not played well all year. I guess I could see Kessel dealt if they are really serious about a full rebuild but I just can't see the leafs pulling the trigger to do it. They do have Shanny in there now who may make that decision though. Thank God they are still 15 points up because they have been horrible for a long stretch of the season and will only get worse if Kessel is moved.

First a Panthers fan trolls us and then a Nucks' fan? Strange times.....

If true, does this change your stance on the trade?

Ya that seems more appropriate.

So did we just give up our number one dman, number three forward (based on points) and starting goalie today? I know we got back a good dman as well but this should be nice for the chl stretch run.

Lol nice. If we get mceichel in the draft do we still go after ROR? Isn't mceichel and Reinhart our top two centres for the next decade?

Not sure why some don't get this trade. He's a ufa and it seems obvious Murray doesn't want enroth long term. Therefore he got what he could for him. Enroth was never the long term answer. Questions surrounding next years starter didn't just arise from this trade. If Murray wants him he could still sign him July 1 anyways but I'll be shocked if that happens.

:w00t: So true.

Exactly. In his presser earlier he gave the big 'we're not tanking' blah blah blah because he knew he had a trade like this also lined up. God I love sneaky GMTM

I've wanted this trade for two months now...... I really hope this eliminates any crazy 3-10 CHL runs.....

Good points. It's unreal how differently Murray values some attributes in comparison to Darcy.

Wow very interesting thanks. Listening now and Tm describes the new goalie as a big as one of his first comments. Just another sign that I don't think enroth will be back and I hope they move him soon.
