Well things are certainly going weird with contracts already.

Nick Leddy for 4 years

Trocheck for 7 years

Yes, that was already pointed out.

I’m interested to see who we sign for goalie. No one gets a “well, who was there?” excuse three seasons in a row. If we don’t sign anyone, it’s calculated. 

And the team deserves one.

And 7 years for a guy who will be something like the 5th best forward (7th-8th best player) on the team in a year or two, if not right now.  I don't get it.  But they're a printing press, so it doesn't really matter.

Trochek, 7 years is way too much I agree. BUT, if they think the team is a cup contender for the next couple years and he will be a piece to help them stay in that contender status, I guess you do the move now and deal with the back half of that contract later.

It's definitely looking like a 1 year to win it all in Toronto or the bloodletting begins.

Copp is from Ann Arbor which probably helps

Not sure I would want Copp at that price.

Maybe they should focus on winning a first round series. 😂

I don't think any of the moves they made lately make them much better or much worse than they were last year.  I think in Toronto, they think the team is good enough to 'compete' for a cup if they can past the first round....but their moves so far are not much more than replacing non-core pieces from last year with different non-core pieces.

I agree.. but they should know they need to do more to get past the first round.. well, given the NHL's goofy playoff format they might actually make it this year but the second round will be hell.  I still don't see them getting to the Finals. Not without more moves..

Marchment to Carolina

[DarthEbriate]

I'm amazed at how much cap space Carolina has...   but then, they're not paying $10M to anyone. They matched an underwhelming Offer Sheet on Aho that locked him in on Bergeron/Marchand-like contract, and then let Dougie Hamilton go rather than pay him.
