Free Agency Day 1 – Final Stretch

yea fuck that, Tallon is one of the people responsible for causing this inflation of salaries. Its amazing what 5M on the salary cap will do to some people.

I agree with everything you said, he would instantly make us a good PP team, him Phaneuf Liles Kessel and Mac(or Kuley), but man I have a horrible feeling he will go to Calgary, just got that gut feeling, main reason is Tanguay Richards Iginla line, magine? Hoping to god though I get a text tomorrow from Tsn saying the Leafs signed him, I’ll cry I think hahaha

Nah, he’s not going to Calgary. They no doubt threw a huge offer at him, but he’s just using it to try and get the other teams to up their offers. I say it’s a toss between the Rangers and the Leafs.

I would also not be surprised to hear in the end that the Leafs offered something like 5 years, but around the 9-10 mil mark.

personally, loved mac scoring his 20th against miller and buf.

good for them. 65 games, 40 points….injury prone…they can have him.

saw kadri play often in london. have felt from the beginning that he was going to have an impact in the nhl (ie top six).

I can’t believe I’m gonna have to listen to those clowns every Saturday night from October to April.

Everyone upset about Burkie not making a move is just caught up in the hype. Its Richards or bust. Everything else is secondary.

Also, everyone saying Burkie should keep his mouth shut because he doesnt deliver should stop complaining and start listening. He makes no guarantees. He just is being honest. Being active does not mean or guarantee a signing. Being active is preparing offers, conducting presentations, determining what player you would like and setting the price you are willing to pay (based on cap, short/long term goals, team needs, skill) and then making the offer. Intentions do NOT guarantee signings.

PLUS we can still have Richards possibly AND if we do not we have the rest of summer to improve. Its nice to have a GM who does not panic and will do things the right way.
