    Borgman sounds like a character from a Star Trek parody.

    Is Borgman any good? Schmaltz has shown flashes but always looked kind of timid/nervous when he got in.

    My good brain says that Borgman regressed after being sent down to the AHL following his initial stint with the Leafs two years ago. But my dumb brain says that Borgman is a solid man who throws hard checks. His wont to throw a hard hit often pushes him out of position and he makes dumb plays at times, but I thought he was a solid, smooth skater.

    Thanks for the info. He won’t likely won’t ply over any of our six so we’ll see how it goes.


    Bonus points for any one who lays out Debrincat.

    I was going to say how borgman is an actual NHL player so that's an upgrade over the former


    Instead I'm going to say, how about not encouraging that someone get knocked out/concussed? Thanks

    I watched a gif on my phone while in line at sandwich shop. It looked like a big hit on a rival player- I had no idea he got concussed.

    Players that go out of their way to throw borderline hits that injure, see above.

    I’m not seeing what’s wrong with that hit.

    Friendly reminder just about any big hit intends to injure, discussing semantics after realizing there's an injury is pointless.

    You took what I said about Borgman out of context. He's not that player. He's the new NHL defence man who still likes throwing hits because he's a big, strong dude. The hit in the video isn't anywhere near a borderline hit

    So they eat a $6 mil. cap hit after next year because no one wants Staal or Smith. Trading Namestnikov for magic beans is another option.

    Tampa already has over $67 million committed for NEXT year and thats without Point (this year), Cirelli, Cernak, Joseph, and Sergachev's new contracts that are needed

    They're going to have to find another extremely dumb hockey man or two, won't be difficult

    I don’t like giving goalies a crazy amount of money because goaltending is voodoo. That being said it only ends when he’s 32 and who knows what the cap will be like by then?

    Either way the only bad contract on their books is Callahan (maybe Gourde) so it shouldn’t be too hard for them to clear cap space
