TOR Block

As Matt said yesterday you're not fooling anyone into giving you players by presenting that these players don't contribute stats. Fact of the matter is there are other teams interested in them and willing to pay more than you are. If you think Simmonds is worth very little thats fine but you won't be acquiring him. I'm the one typing on here until Tyler is able to get onto the forums but he's the one ultimately making decisions I'm just giving him feedback.

Lol ok. Keep trading good assets and keep the poor. Maybe it doesn't affect him that much because his team is already loaded, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still poor asset management.

Don't be afraid to hit me up directly if you want to talk trade, I don't bite...

Your attack dog sure does.

Can't help it. He's a Sens fan. It comes naturally.

Bump, still looking to move a winger for a cheaper guy.

Do you need me to hold your hand?

Hello new Toronto. I'm holding out of the last second desperation Matthews/Mcdavid block. If you would like to accelerate that one early let me know.

Would like to know what mandate Toronto has been given by the CC. Does Toronto have to be cap compliant by Day 1, or is he given extra time to make moves?

It be very surprised if it wasn't day 1. Inheriting an elite team that wasn't built themselves, it would do the league good for one of the rich franchises be forced into a bit of time sensitive wealth distribution.

I have recommended to the CC that Tyler doesn't have to be cap compliant by Sunday afternoon (roster submission). I think it's more realistic for him to be compliant by opening night (next Wednesday). I don't think I've gotten any opposition to my opinion.

Given the narrow window of time he has to accomplish this task and the fact he's only had access to the forum since yesterday, we're going to give him some leeway get this roster compliant for the start of the season.

[Fraser]

I'm Regretting being such a shit CC member.

[Da_Hawks]

So 1 week to still shed some significant cap. Certainly has his work cut out.

[Fraser]

I understand the point of view and giving more time to a new guy who didn't make the bed he's in, don't get me wrong. But any opportunity to enhance the competitiveness of this league should be celebrated IMO.

3 days isn't gonna do much. He's still gotta shed a lot of cap.

I agree with this.

[Shoalzie]

Just with the Jamie Benn trade, his cap "overage" was cut in half. It's not an impossible task. He probably didn't get the best possible deal for Benn but not every team has $9+ million or the disposable income to burn.

Tyler will have to be creative but it's not impossible. He can either sell off another big contract for futures or make a series of "hockey trades" where he's picking up players with lesser salaries.

Just look at what happened earlier in the summer...Mik traded away multiple players for futures to shed salary (see Erik Karlsson). It's not impossible...it just might be more difficult with many rosters solidified and the season starts in a week.
