Doc J 4,191 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 "That is why it was important for us to have Rodrigues in the deal as well and begin to have a conversation with his representatives about the opportunity that may be here for him." - Kyle Dubas at the trade presser. This can't be serious, right? He has a $2m qualifying offer. He was worse than anyone the leafs dressed last season for more than 10 games. Link to post Share on other sites

A conversation is only worth it if he takes a pay cut, there's no room for a 2M fourth liner and signing him for that or anywhere close to it would be a mistake. Link to post Share on other sites

Right. Can't imagine him getting anything above league min here, and can't see why he wouldn't roll the dice on a different, shittier team with a bit more space and opportunity to play. It's honestly irrelevant as long as it's under a mil, since it'll be buried on the marlies. If he somehow "makes" the leafs, that's a pretty bad sign. Link to post Share on other sites

He's a Toronto kid and could be a depth option if Spezza or Clifford leaves. He can fuck off if he expects anything over a million. Link to post Share on other sites

Who's this guy gonna replace on the depth chart? Petan? 15th forward? Agostino didn't get a sniff and he's a better player, especially for a 4th line role.

Spezza took a discount to play here, I assumed Rodrigues might too seeing that’d be his only chance to be a Leaf. They definitely need to re-sign Spezza no matter what.

It was also encouraging to watch Matthews immediately grab the baton that Spez laid down, and lead his crew to a comeback win. A perfect example of a young star, benefitting from veteran leadership.

Yeah, Spezza basically said he was ready to go again, and he more than earned it. Good point with Matthews. He really responds to the physical intensity of his guys. He netted the overtime winner in the heritage classic, saying Martin's beatdown of Ott "fired me up". Turned it up big after Clifford's first tilt in blue & white this season also. But this is one of my favorite leaf highlights, and not just recently: Kadri with the match, and the kid's got the dynamite. *audible sigh* Wilma Fingerdo 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The pre-salary cap years were wild. Hell, he was the highest-paid player in the league during the first year of the salary cap too. Link to post Share on other sites

They are doing a bang up job over there I guess. Making the playoffs this year is irrelevant. What's relevant is the type of play we displayed for 60 plus games that was inconsistent and sloppy defensively. Yes, that was was caused it to "miss the playoffs" but missing this bastardized playoffs tells us very little other than what we already knew. Link to post Share on other sites
Duffman 3,430 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Anyone with a brain could see this team was a lost cause after they lost to the zamboni driver. Making the playoffs and getting bounced in round 1 or missing it all together doesn't change that. Dog Taker 1 Link to post Share on other sites

StepOnYou 162 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Hey Dubas. Good job yesterday. I like the new acquisitions. Definitely TJ Brodie. Simmonds is just so-so. I have to give him some credit. I thought that amongst the FA defensemen Brodie was up there. Link to post Share on other sites
