NHL.com Tkachuk committed to Senators, ‘frustrated’ by rumors of desire to be elsewhere https://www.nhl.com/news/brady-tkachuk-fully-committed-to-playing-for-ottawa-senators Matthews doesn't have a UMT clause ("you must trademe!") He certainly doesn't want to go thru the media circus Tkachuk...

No, you are bluntly missing the point as you often do. If you wait until the bitter end on Matthews, you will not get as much in a return. That is the point. Let me use another example: 5th round pick for Raddysh. Sign and trade at the end of a contract often does not return as much relative to...

It varies with the circumstances. For Matthews, you would probably get more if he's able to demonstrate he is free of health issues than you would right now For Rielly, you would probably get more if he's able to demonstrate the change in coach & system gets him back to closer to where he was...

I want them to win a Cup. Nothing less. Like other Leafs fans, I'm not getting any younger. If this effort to hang on to Matthews fails, as it probably will, I fear the rebuild starts two years later ... so we're waiting two more years before a shot at the promised land than if we got underway...

In 2 years time: You also probably lose Matthews for next to nothing as his deal is over. Are you hoping for a 4th line center on a sign and trade? Joshua, Lorentz, OEL & Carlo are gone for nothing as their deals expire. Stolarz, McCabe & Rielly are then 34, turning 35 with 2 years left on...

Raddysh has a NMC for 6 years and 16 team NTC for his last two seasons. General Manager Matthews will make the decision to rebuild or not around July 1, 2027 - probably very dependent on how he perceives his chances of winning a Cup with this team - in part, because he's won nearly everything...

Chayka has been as close to emphatic as he could to knock down the notion that he's trading Knies. No GM can say "NEVER". If someone hires Mike Milbury and he offers 20 first rounders .. he probably has to do that deal. The muzzling of leaks is going to curtail some of the wacky media but it...

I think they clipped Treliving's abilities well before they fired him. All the machinations to get Marner's cap money for a year plus ... and no one really decent to spend it on with the barren UFA market - which was foreseen on this site and elsewhere. And then the team goes in the toilet...

Mark joined the Marlies in early October as a coaching advisor

I think it was a wonderful thing to see. I feel for a lot of these guys. They get hurt and physically damaged as much as NHLers. They work as hard or maybe harder. They're so close in talent and ability to being able to play in the NHL. In the latter part of these playoffs, Thrun & Benning...

Apparently, Alex Steeves came in to support his past teammates

Marlies win!! 2026 Calder Cup Champs!!

Chayka today "we also feel like there are some players in our pipeline who are interesting as well. We want to make sure we are also considering internal candidates as we canvass different options." Lettieri would be at the top of my list. He's very complete. Has some size issue but makes up...

Officiating has been poor all series. No different tonight. At the game, we were booing the heck out of the refs before the periods started. They were so blatantly bad.

Errson, who is eligible for arbitration, requires a $1.6Mil offer to qualify him https://puckpedia.com/player/samuel-ersson I'm having trouble imagining how he could be worth that He'd cost $500k against the cap if they waived him Maybe they have something for less worked out ...

I looked at his skating, Slightly below average speed. Average bursts and mileage I looked at his injury history. He's been very healthy He hasn't played a lot of NHL games but between junior, AHL & NHL, he's played a lot of games: 1,027 including playoffs He doesn't hit a lot, doesn't block...

The top 6 is all 30+ years old. There will be injuries Best Andrae has been is a #7 Villeneuve rounds out a top 8 That is how I'm looking at it. What might happen is after the July 1 dust settles and many teams hoping to land one of the few decent UFA dmen end up with nothing, they circle back...

With the system/coaching change and now a right handed partner (I personally hope it is Tanev for Rielly), I think Rielly will be rejuvenated. They will never recover his ability on this UFA market or via trade when they would have to sell low. It should not be too hard to leave well enough...

10% chance they gave up a NHLer who plays 300 games 90% chance they gave up close to nothing.
