I don't think Joe is particularly concerned with salary at this juncture..

Marner's a special player, you would have to be nuts to pass him up.
Having signed Spezza, Thornton and Simmonds (combined age of 110 years) the Leafs are reportedly looking to round out their defensive corps by making an offer to Randy Carlyle instead of Dermott. Stay tuned.Now just ship out Kerfoot for a pick or two, and they can sign Dermott and that Russian kid
Draft picks don't have to be signed for quite a while, and even if they are, they don't count against cap unless they're with the big club.Now just ship out Kerfoot for a pick or two, and they can sign Dermott and that Russian kid
I'd be hesitant to move Kerfoot.
I’m hoping with better health Simmonds can play on the top two lines and on the second pp unit. That’s where he can create more room and confidence for the skilled guys. Playing on the 4th line for 5 minutes a game is not going to help much. It’s a low risk high reward pickup.
If he has the legs why not, although I wouldn't mess with
Definitely on the 2nd PP, he will create havoc and space in front of that net, throw them off balance from 1st PP approach,
,maybe a throwback to JVR.

If free agent salaries are an indication of talent level, are we to believe that Bogosian is a lesser player than Ceci?
I'm not that familiar with Bogosian's game.
I don’t know a lot about Bogo either except from what I saw how he played for the Lightning. I thought he was better defensively than what I’ve seen from Ceci, Barrie, Holl and Rielly and he showed grit. I read that he had had some injuries that hindered his career and hopefully that is not going to be an issue. Bottom line, if he could play meaningful minutes for a championship team, he’s good enough for the Leafs.
I like the change in Dubas philosophy in adding more size and grit and make the team harder to play. That’s what I and many others have been lobbying for since he took over. It’s taken him two years to learn that and wasted 2 years of this supposedly open window to compete for the cup. Now it’s up to him to execute this new plan and pick the right players. Better late than never I guess.
The Leafs traded Kapanen and Johansson to make cap room but also because they are pussies and can’t keep going in the playoffs playing slap and tickle hockey...
Ceci is younger and hasn’t had the same chronic injury problems as Bogosian.
Bogosian last played a full season in ‘09-‘10.
Buffalo essentially ran him out of town In February, and when he was traded from Winnipeg to Buffalo 5 years ago the Jets fan base appeared quite happy about it.
Expectations were high, he was a #3 overall pick, he disappointed teams...expectations aren't going to be as high in Toronto.
I still remembered how did the Leafs lost to Boston Bruins was their power plays and our third line weakness. Those are the areas the Leafs need fix. I'd hope whatever the trade goes would help the Leafs raw talents shine through.
Can't wait to see the new Leafs season starts with the mixed young and seasoned raw true talents bring out the joy we deeply missed in 2020.
Let's flip the page to 2021 now!
Go Leafs Go!
