Republican, I presume.

I see there's a hard core entitled few that think they own this forum, I don't mind being ignored by them, I don't know why only cheerleaders are allowed on this forum by these challenged individuals and since I do get messages from others that feel that their whining is simply bullying, I think...

I didn't like what TO did last year during the summer, it seemed like TO was trying to become a Nashville clone, all defense, and was expecting that 5 players only were going to provide all of the offense, TO's regular season was again great, with the 5 player strategy, but the lack of offensive...

Anyone care to guess which forward has pretty well been compromised going into just about every playoff since he's become a Leaf, I wonder if useless things like shot blocking might be a significant factor in the constant injury problems. As far as spreading out the talent on 3 separate lines...

Nylander, JT, Marner and Matthews on 3 separate lines means less icetime for at least one of these players which isn't a solution to anything, the idea of Austin and/or Nylander Pking is a great idea. No shot blocking, that's probably the least effective way to PK.   

I was hoping BT's drafting with Calgary was better than TO's since 2017(inclusive) so I checked, no such luck as a matter of fact TO's record is without doubt better, lovely.

How isn't it?

Matt Dumba signed with Arizona for $3.9 mil. for 1 year, I wonder if he'd have signed for even less to possibly be on a Cup contender? I think he would be viewed as better than Klingberg overall, he's had decent stats and plays physically, he has been compared to Phanny but he's smaller. Let's...

Sheldon Keefe has been resigned, this was a toughie to understand, TO does well/great in the regular season, come playoff time not so great. Resigning Keefe suggests to me that the powers that be are satisfied, this surprises me because of the potential gate revenue that could be realized if TO...

I'm pretty sure there's no argument here, I've said that if TO saw a future in SDA they would/should do their best to keep him here in North America to properly groom him, since his future doesn't look so bright he's signing with the highest bidder which TO isn't because TO doesn't see an NHL...

Not sure where AHL salaries are published but TO like most teams will pay marginal NHL/AHL players a minimum NHL salary then park them in the A for injury insurance, I would think that if a prospect is a true prospect TO would offer them enough money to stay in North America. A true prospect...

Bertuzzi-$5.5 mil. per for 1 year- This is possibly a great signing, he has the right qualities to help TO considerably in the playoffs however his ability to remain healthy has been an issue his entire NHL career. 30 points, last year, in 50 games were his lowest PPG total in 4 years, his type...

Is 2 years in the KHL better or even good at all for him, a lot of prospects(Leafs and others) play a very small amount of TOI in the KHL mostly because KHL teams don't feel they need to develop potential NHLers over their own/undrafted and even less talented players. I wonder if the KHL is...

My understanding from the media is that TO is observing total silence on any Leaf issue, I haven't read the article you've referred to but there is little to no credible info about the Leafs, especially in regards to contract specifics. Servalli is a credible source I'd say but I'd like to know...
