The New Division

Leafs have 6M left. Buyout of Liles saves 3M for this season. So with that, they could afford to spend up to 9M combined on kadri, Franson, and a 3rd/4th line winger. But you also have Liles caphit on the books for the next 6 years. You can make it work, but it would suck for you.

Not really a problem because they'd have to overpay for him and lose Franson in the process.

It would **** us short term, but the only way to have us not match would cost 4 1sts.

But out Liles and that would still give us 3.5 to sign Franson. So we'd have to get creative, but it's doable.

Cowen might be the worst even strength defenceman offensively in the league.

How would we even know?

He's just getting started and coming off major surgery.

He posted reasonable offensive numbers in both the WHL and the AHL playoffs (while playing like a stud defensively during their Calder Cup run).

This one is going to bite this board in the ass big time. Almost as bad as the Chara take post Yashin trade.
 
Nah, I really don't foresee Cowen making us look nearly as bad as Kadri and Reimer made you guys look. I tend to be incredibly good at judging defencemen too.
 
The only thing delusional is believing that Robin Lehner will be the greatest goaltender in NHL history and that Jared Cowen will be an impact defender.

Please, please, please, tell us that Rielly is a bust though.

Lehner is a stud prospect. Not sure where he'll end up as you can never be sure with goalies, but his top end is very high.

Jared Cowen will be an impact defender. His size, skating and hitting ability all point to top level shut down D.
 
Cowen's skating ability? :lol

His lack of mobility and puck-skills are exactly why he's such a limited defenceman. But I mean, Andy Sutton is a massive defender and that's managed to keep him in the NHL for years.

So there's that one supposes.
 
I love innernet fights!

You mean the next Marc-Andre Bergeron?

What is with your take on Cowen? He's big, he skates well, he can punch people out, he can put up points.

The guy is a beast. If he can stay healthy, he's going to be a good one.

This board is completely irrational in their hatred for Cowen.

That's great though, it will just make the crow serving so much better latter on.
