2016 Summer Housekeeping Thread

TLN with an article examining what Martin Marincin's next contract might look like:

http://theleafsnation.com/2016/7/29/what-will-martin-marincin-s-next-contract-be

Based on the comparables, it seems likely that he'll come in at around the $1mil mark.

As you'd see in the article though, there aren't really very many comparable players. Guys who score as little as Marincin does don't generally stay in the league very often. And they certainly don't generally get paid much in their contracts. I've brought this up before but I'd be perfectly fine trying to see him to a 4-year deal at something like $1.5mil. Even with the recent rise of analytical-friendly GMs in the league, guys like Marincin still aren't really getting paid what they're worth. It'd be smart to get him locked in now before that might change.

It also touches on the fact though that it's almost guaranteed that Marincin or Carrick will be exposed in the upcoming expansion draft. That'll be a bummer.

He's just signed.

Martin Marincin's two-year deal with the #leafs carries a $1.25M AAV.

Well, other than a backup goalie, that's all the signings handled. The next step is going to be addressing the glut of forwards.

Handedness makes me lean toward Carrick, although if they both played the right side I'd go with Marincin.

I'm not sure I follow why you'd expose the Righty over the Lefty?  The right side is definitely our biggest question mark moving forward, so keeping Carrick over Marincin makes more sense to me all else being equal.

Depth Chart, not including AHL-ceiling guys like Loov, and guys we won't see beyond this year (Polak, Hunwick):

Left:  Reilly, Gardiner, Marincin, Valiev, Nielsen, Greenway
Right:  Zaitsev, Carrick, Corrado, Dermott

Brain-fart. In my head I was answering who I would protect, not expose. For the reasons you wrote of course.

To be honest I think both guys are so low-ceiling that issues of left/right should be secondary to just which player you think has more of a long term future.

Does that depth chart ever scream for an undisputed #1 right wing Defenseman.

By all accounts Zaitsev should be good, but probably not even a #2 on a contending team.
 
Nobody on waivers today so doesn't seem like anyone will be bought out in the Leafs 2nd buyout window. Really thought we might see one used on Michalek there.

Feel free to suggest a different topic name than "Learning defense"
