Good thing SJ is paying 1.5M on Karlsson current contract.
Yes, there’s pros and cons to this potential trade. I get that.
The Leafs cap will be tight if the trade does go down. Domi going on LTIR to start or possibly the whole season will help with that.Way more negatives than positives. The Leafs just overpaid Raddysh, you think they’re going to bring in ANOTHER high price, offense only RHD? Who plays the PP? Karlsson or Raddysh?
It just doesn’t make sense.
Karlsson makes 10 AAV and absolutely sucks defensively. That means, if the Leafs bring him in, they can’t just hide him on the 3rd pair like they could with Klingberg who would probably cost 2 million or less. But Sundin might pull the Swedish card and not give a fuck about how bad Karlsson is and just do it because he thinks he’s a good guy.
The only benefit of Karlsson is that he only has 1 year left on his deal which means A) he will be motivated to play his best for his next contract and B) if he still sucks defensively, you let him walk and Rielly is off your books for the next five years.
I doubt Dubas moves on from Karlsson. He did a lot to get him to Pittsburgh and he outperformed Rielly last year by 30 points. It doesn’t benefit Pittsburgh enough.
I think the only way Rielly waives to go to Pittsburgh is if Crosby gets involved. Rielly seems hellbent (for leather) on never leaving Toronto.

Karlsson for Rielly?

Holy fuck, UG has something nice to say about the Leafs?!?!

You lost me at Klingon
Trust me, I don’t like him either. However, he’s a RHD who has proven he can score points and Rielly, for all his faults, could score points. And that needs to be replaced.
If Klingberg is cheap enough and plays very limited minutes (less than 18), he could prove to be useful especially on the 2nd PP or if Raddysh regresses which is likely.
If Cowen is on the team come September 29th, for , he needs to play in the top 6
And really, you are pairing the Leafs smallest Dmen togehter. Good thing, they’re on the 4th D pairing.Nope. Cowan is better served playing a two-way role than being forced to score goals and points. They will already have McKenna in the top-six as a teenage rookie. Adding Cowan to that puts too much pressure on young guys to show up every single night.
Yes, the two midget D are spare parts.
Knies | Matthews | Roslovic
McKenna | Tavares | Nylander
Paul | Sissons | Duhaime
Joshua | Blueger | LorentzRoslovic absolutely sucks. It was, by far, the biggest waste of 4 million AAV the Leafs could have possibly spent. If he’s on the 1st line, the Leafs are absolutely fucked.
That 2nd line would be -150. The absolute worst possible line defensively. There is absolutely no chance McKenna isn’t playing with Matthews. Matthews can play two-way hockey to compensate for how horrid McKenna is defensively and Matthews needs a winger to feed him passes. It’s the most obvious combination imaginable.
Cowen gets the first nod to come up for injured F player
Again, Paul and Duhaime are 4th liners. Joshua should be traded or in the press box. Cowan is a 3rd liner right now given how he plays.
