7Exposed: How a Soft Leafs Defence Will Once Again Sink The Leafs in April
Toronto Maple Leafs
hobie - PostedI think the separation is the same for most teams, there's only so much Cap space to go around and TO has decided to spend most of it on the forwards. Nashville has had a great d for years but their forwards are so so, scoring for them in the playoffs is an issue. -

hobie - PostedI thought the Clarkson-Horton transaction was exciting for TO and seemed to fit CLB's needs. You want the rich to win, I get it, but the only true way I can see trades being actual trades is by returning to the slave system. Detroit made itself great for years by spending 80 million on their roster, year after year and that's over 20 years ago. Free agency was the first stake in heart of real trades. -
7Exposed: How a Soft Leafs Defence Will Once Again Sink The Leafs in April
Toronto Maple Leafs
WordsOfWisdom - PostedThe separation among the Leafs defence is quite dramatic: Rielly Hainsey Gardiner (AMAZING) Zaitsev Ohziganov Dermott (AHL calibre) The dropoff from the top three is enormous. Toronto also lacks a physical defenceman who can clear the front of the net, play strong positionally, and knock people around. Toronto is missing a Zdeno Chara type defenceman. -

WordsOfWisdom - PostedThey've been taking advantage of some of the quirks of the CBA to get rid of bad contracts. I guess they can do it until it's deemed to be a Lupul loophole and gets closed. I think it's kind of sad actually that today's NHL involves so many trades along these lines. Most of today's NHL trades are as inspiring to hockey fans as watching a 500 lb stripper undress. I'm not saying blow it all up and start over.... but I would like to see a higher cap and a lower floor. I don't think it's unrealistic to tweak something like that. -
7The value of plus/minus
Around the NHL
hobie - PostedIs +/- a perfect stat, no, but I think it's far superior than CF. +/- means your team scores more or less than the opposition when you're on the ice, CF means your team shot more or less than the opposition when you're on the ice with the bonus of those shots not actually being actual shots on goal. Carolina has been a CF champion for years but the team hasn't been good for years, shot attempt volumes mean little, actual shots on goal result in goals. No player can be accurately measured because hockey is a team game so +/- is as good if not better than any other stat that's out there. -

hobie - PostedTO is basically using this type of advantage and has been for years. Robidas Island. Martin was traded to the NYI, a team that watches it's money. He was originally signed to a 10 mil. contract and TO had already paid him 7.5 mil. of that contract before the trade. The NYI only has to pay him 2.5 mil. for his last 2 years and probably only traded for him because TO had already paid out most of his contract. Clarkson was signed for obscene money that he soon proved he didn't deserve, CLB had Horton on their books but since his contract wasn't insured they had to pay him for being injured. CLB wanted to not have to pay him, TO wanted to get Cap relief so they were traded for each other. Clarkson rarely played after that but when he was injured CLB didn't have to pay him because he was insured, TO after the trade always had Horton's salary cap space to use. The NHL isn't the KHL, thank God. Player's contracts are basically guaranteed and that's a huge reason that KHL players are attracted to playing in the NHL. -
