Thinkin' about them Babsocks the other day and I think it's swell of the guy to lend his visage to a fun product like that. He probably doesn't see a cent (not like he needs it) and knowing him all he asked was a percentage to charity. Not many high end professionals would not take themselves too seriously like that.

General Erik Karlsson thread. Not sure where it belongs. I find this one fascinating. After Stamkos I've come around on these guys re-signing with their clubs long term for max dollars. Stammer, Price, I'm predicting Johnny T. This one has me intrigued. Melnyk vocal about being on a budget. Albatross contracts in Bobby Ryan, Phaneuf, etc. If their window has closed could be time for a complete rebuild. I'm guessing he stays, but anything's possible. He can't be happy with the way things have gone there this year, and what about the future...
Basically every team, yours truly included would be SALIVATING at getting this guy. So the question is, what would you send the other way? Stud D puts a lot of teams over the top. It would be hard but would you move picks, prospects, young players, cap space and anyone not named Auston Matthews?

2017-2018: $6.5-million (modified NTC - 10 teams)
2018-2019: $6.5-million (modified NTC - 10 teams)
2019-2020: UFA
Very sketchy rumours that the ten teams include areas in California, Tampa, even Detroit.

This quote inspired me to give him his thread. Jake's come a long way in two years. I'm sure there'll be an offensive play or two to put here during this Stanley Cup winning season

The hire. The mandate. The execution. Shanny appreciation thread. After Burke, I had no expectations with the hiring of executive Brendan Shanahan by the MLSE. I liked the things coming out of his mouth, but of course, talk is cheap. Is this just another stuffed suit? A politician and glad-hander who has no idea what he's doing? Time would tell... They started showing signs they that truly were going to build through the draft. There was the aggressive pursuit of Coach Mike Babcock and GM Lou Lamoriello, both of which have said that it was Shanahan's mission statement for the Toronto Maple Leafs that made them want to come here. He hired intelligent people and then stayed out of their way. After two-and-a-half years I'm now comfortable in saying that Brendan Shanahan is an excellent executive.

Lots of pics and footage from the practice and alumni game today so I took the liberty of starting a thread before CtB's tomorrow!
Great on them to have the old Leafs mingle with the new stars:
'Potvin said he spoke with Andersen and told the Dane how special playing in Toronto can be. "I told him how incredible this city is when you're winning," said Potvin, who backstopped the Leafs' back-to-back trips to the conference finals in '93 and '94. "The other sports are fine, but hockey in this city when you're winning? It's unbeatable."'
"For the first time in a long time, I’m actually excited. I’ve been away from it," Domi admits, "Now I’m watching like everyone else. [Coach Mike Babcock] has them on the right path. These kids, they don’t give up. They play hard every shift. That’s what I like to see. It’s what I notice most."
"When you hear people talk about the Leafs’ young guys, they talk about how nice young men they are. That’s means a lot to us former players—to hear that they’re good boys," says Roberts. He stresses the importance of a talented core in the same age range growing together over the years.
"That’s what you want: an organization and team that’s a family. It improves the culture. They’re all battling through ups and downs together. They’re feeding off each other’s energy and experiences to become a better team, and you can see it."
"The guy sitting right here, I’ve been watching since he was 11 or 12 years old," Gilmour says of Marner. "He played against my boys, so I’m cheering for him. He’s a great kid. Before the numbers were retired, they were asking about 93. I said, ‘One hundred per cent. If he wants to wear it, wear it.’ "
Fun fact: Mitch Marner was born AFTER Toronto traded Doug Gilmour to New Jersey!
