millbank Posted May 28, 2019 Report Posted May 28, 2019 Coach Babcock likely done at seasons end if not before. The team at best given the cap realities at best case will tread water and stay the same if not regress. Could easily see Keefe as Coach by February . On the Marner front which team prepared to give up four first round picks. Very well could be some. 1

Yes they have young talent . Key word is young. Also with those young having time to learn and the reality of some subtractions be it Gardiner, Kadri, Johnson, Kapanen, tough calls on a number more plus who is to know how the Marner situation shakes down. He only of one potential offer sheets. Next year I see as a trending water year. Things do clear up after. Certainly won’t argue with you if they improve

Would be interesting if there is a $11.5 Auston Matthews money out there , with a young but close to being in the mix again. With parity you never know. He does take a regular shift, drives the power play, kills penalties. Where is his ceiling . Still young figures to get better. Edited May 29, 2019 by millbank
North Buffalo Posted May 29, 2019 Report Posted May 29, 2019 See UFA discussion, Dreger stated Marner asking 10.5 over 5 years. Leafs gotta be coughing over that one, especially the short term.
LGR4GM Posted May 30, 2019 Report Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) He is a 5th rounder not a 7th. The 7th is the part of the trade I think. Edited May 30, 2019 by LGR4GM

And thedream still lives Mill, I might actually be worse than you. One of my parents' first friends after they were married were a football coach (a former original Cleveland Brown) and his wife. After my parents met them, the man went to work with an old friend whom he knew from his college days in Cleveland, Ohio. He was the defencive line coach of the No-Name Defence. From 1971-83, he used to let me sit in on the defencive game plan review at the team hotel the day before the game. Interesting tidbit: It did not matter that the Bills were 4-9-1 during Miami's Perfect Season. I have a clip of the former coaching staff being interviewed on a Miami TV station from the 20th anniversary year. To a man, they say that the only game that they realistically should have lost was to the Bills on 22 October 1972 at the Orange Bowl. Apparently, Saban's game plans had them befuddled the entire game. They uniformly believed that had the Bills started Dennis Shaw instead of Mike Taliaferro, the Dolphins that season go 16-1. 1

dudacek Posted June 4, 2019 Report Posted June 4, 2019 If Hayes ends up signing there who does that put on the block? Or is Giroux on the wing and Patrick, Hayes and Couturier down the middle?
