The Duke Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I heard Tanev was a top target for us. With him and Guentzel a lot less likey, could shake things up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz-Pix Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) Day 1 of FA is a gonna be a gong show...GM's tend to overpay for contracts that are far to long. IMO The best deals tend to come in day 2 and after. I'm sure JR/PA will take their shot at a player or two that they REALLY want, I just hope they don't sell the farm to get them. JR/PA have been in this position a lot over the years so we kinda have to trust their process at this point. They did well last season. There might be a couple teams that sign players and put themselves over the CAP that will have to trade roster players to get compliant before the start of the season. Seems to happen every season IMO, if were patient we might be able to pick up some NHL roster players that way as well.

There seriously needs to be consequences if the team is handing out this contract knowing the player will unlikely play out their contract. This is cap circumventing, no?

Had an emergency GM meeting. And put in some limits to contracts right then and there. Gillis set of a chain of events that got just crazy. It didn't even save much on his cap hit that was the worst part. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no guarantee that Toronto can sign Tanev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 21 minutes ago, Coconuts said: But real talk, if Toronto's willing to do something silly with a 5-8 year deal to bring down the cap hit, go for it I actually thought the player had to be on your reserve list at the deadline to get 8 years. That is why some teams do a sign and trade so they can get that 8th year in the offer. If Dallas wasn’t letting teams talk to Tanev and increase the return, it is a decent chance he knows where he wants to go and it would just make teams shy away after talking to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Doesn’t he have to be on the roster at some point the season before for them to offer him 8 years? Not a sign and trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Offloading Marner and adding Zadorov-Tanev as a pairing actually makes Toronto much stronger. Of course the contracts they may have to hand out also close that window pretty fast. As much as I love Tanev, signing him to a 5-7 year deal is career suicide for a GM. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right for next year, but then we start having help on the way from the farm and a bit more flexibility. Tampa is losing a much better calibre of players than we are and they were already starting to get long in the tooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
