Says a lot about Matthews' talent when he was out there with less than a minute left in the game with the goalie pulled.  I'm still in awe of him.  For a guy who's never played a single NHL game to be out there with such great talents is inspiring and gives this Leafs fan hope that we truly will...

Well I think we need to "drop" to 1st for it to make a difference I guess. 

New Leafs signing.  This kid put up some nice points but is a bit small.  Hoping he pans out in some capacity. http://www.tsn.ca/leafs-sign-moore-to-three-year-contract-1.533088

Agreed and that he doesn't get killed out there either.  It's all about learning for Marner if he remains in the NHL

Well they brought it up again today asking Shanahan this time.  Stupid media.  They will let this drag on each day it hasn't been signed.

Give it a few days and watch how the media will blow this out of proportion.  "Rumours" will say that there is a discord between management and the player on the contract and we may go to a hold out.  LOL.

I agree.  I mean, if he can hit performance bonuses like score 25G and 25A, I'd be ecstatic and would happily pay him the max bonuses.  Last thing I want to create at the beginning is resentment.

I think Soshnikov is better than Hyman and has an above average NHL shot.  While I don't want to see Hyman on the 4th line, I don't know where else you could put him.  Possibly on the 2nd line?  At this point, I would not be playing Michalek.  So, JVR, Kadri, Nylander Soshnikov, Bozak, Brown...

No please.  $5M per is too high.  That would be Komisarek 2.0.

Yay for Chinese people!

I don't care what happened, but thank God it worked out in our favor.  I'm happy we have Marner.

It's a fantastic pick for the Bruins.  Any way to make them worse as a team.  ;)

Please no

Well we should probably figure out first where to hang the Championship banner.

Agreed.  They have spoken about sustainability and for sustainability to work, you have to continually add pieces along the way as well as hold onto your draft picks.  We can do that and continue the uptrend.  I think the argument that Stamkos is going to hinder us cap-wise is bogus because you...

Yeah but the thing is, Shanahan doesn't really care about your "higher standards".  He's not accountable to you or any of us.  He's going to do what he thinks is right and as far as I can see, I like this path we are taking right now.  Burke was saying all the right things until he traded for...

Draft Schmaft.  I was referring to not waiting to sign Stamkos because we want to draft high and continue the rebuild.  But, then we're going to trade away a 1st, 2nd, and a 3rd for one defenseman (who yes may become elite, still debatable... see Tyler Myers).  This is like doing the whole...

I honestly don't care if they are transparent about what their "plan" is as long as I can see appreciable improvement in the roster and we're not selling our future for now and for over-the-hill veterans like we did in the past.  Our cupboards are starting to get filled and we are probably on...

Whatever happened to "we must be patient so we can keep rebuilding and drafting young kids?"  Now we're throwing away 1sts and 2nds?  This is a very bi-polar board.
