Friendly reminder that it's Byram not Byrum. Also, the good one is M. Rielly, not Reilly. And someone is going to sign him to a tremendously bad contract next summer.

Darren Dreger is Dave Nonis' cousin. Otherwise, he knows approximately jack poo poo about anything. I'm pretty sure there are at least 20 goalies currently available who are better than Jones and won't be asking for more than 2-3M. Then again, I doubt he'll get much more than league minimum and the Marlies could use a backup.

Who the gently caress is Michael Bunting? Well I looked him up and he: - scored 10 goals in 21 games on 26% shooting for Arizona last season - is from Scarborough - played for the Soo Greyhounds So yeah you can lock him up for the Leafs easily.

I thought Ethan Bear looked absolutely awful against the Leafs last season but anyway good luck in Carolina. Meanwhile, I suppose Mrazek is an upgrade on Andersen, but I'm not keen on the Leafs and Canes exchanging underwhelming goalies (seriously wtf is Carolina doing, Andersen is completely cooked).

Arabian Jesus posted:Kampf is a 3/4C that's defensively sound and is great on faceoffs and the penalty kill. Don't ask about offense. This let's Kerfoot slide into LW on the Tavares line if he stays on the roster. If the plan is to give Kerfoot more minutes and then also have a 3/4C who gets caved in on defensive assignments and can't score then I'm pretty sure that I don't like it.

Jhet posted:Is anyone actually bad enough of a GM to overpay for a broken center who wants to have a surgery that may be the wrong choice? Various people have pointed out that the artificial disc replacement surgery Eichel wants apparently has better outcomes than the more conservative fusion surgery that Buffalo wants, and the sticking point is probably that Buffalo's insurance won't cover it because it hasn't been done on an NHL player before. But supposedly various martial artists have had it and continued to compete without issues, and people have died in car accidents without having the artificial disc damaged, so it doesn't seem like it's necessarily a riskier choice. I can't imagine hockey being much more strenuous on the neck/spine than MMA.
