I rather not fill up our cap space with another right winger; I think we should be focusing on our objective of acquiring that first line center we've always wanted.
It was a poor decision. They could have at least tried getting a pick in my opinion, and it would make the deal a tad better. I'm surprised such a defenseman like Franson could be traded for something as little as Lebda who had a +/- of -14 last season and just 1 goal and 3 assists in 41 games.
Love the speed of Lombardi and looking at the stats of this Fransen kid, he looks like one of those playmaking defensemans that can only get better. And we only gave up Lebda? And whoever Slanley is.
No offense taken. I'm okay with not signing Richards, but I think Richards could of helped make this team into a playoff team; but at the same time, I don't think we should be signing free agents to long term deals unless they're really young.
The blue doesn't fit with the rest of the sig, you should take that out. And the text could definitely be improved. There is some great depth throughout the sig, but I think you need some lighting to make Curry more of a focal.
New York always seems to sign the big names to long term deals during FA lol. I guess because the market there is great, and they have a great fan base, and it's New York.
I think it's better for the Leafs in my opinion. I wouldn't want a 9 year deal with Richards when he could regress.
