Yes, I suspect it would have to involve retention or one of those third party trades to take the cap space. So it will likely cost players or draft picks more than we have/want to give up. I do think B Schenn could be a useful piece at the right price, and I like that he has a couple more...

Brayden Schenn narrative being pushed on the like of The Athletic. Let's go get both the Schenns

'member that time Sundin decided to let someone in the crowd keep a bit of his stick

In that case, I’d see if his agent could establish his “market value” by the means discussed in the last few posts before the 30th June deadline and if he offered that $1m per year discount I’d pay him for that discount with the extra year. If you know what I mean.

It’ll be even worse when we take Coyle and Frederic.

Is it only the leafs who can offer him 8 year max instead of 7, and if so do they have to make that offer before a certain date?

Yes, the playoff point is fair. My kind of counter is the regular season is a guaranteed 82 games of watching Marner. The playoffs is no guarantee of any games (though if that did happen with the current roster I think there’d be serious problems to address elsewhere). So from an...

I'd pretty much pay Marner whatever he wants. Well, within reason. I enjoy watching Marner, he's an unbelievably skillful player and watching the likes of him and Matthews (and Nylander) who will likely end up as some of the top 1-10 leafs points/goals getters of all times playing on the same...

Funny enough, I've just seen this article in The Athletic as well, the "Could have been a Blue Jay" roster. Which I think kind of backs up the point about their strategy being just try and sign someone and hope they fix it. But when they haven't got those guys, and realistically I don't think...

I'd say that's fair. And I'd add to it that this current management regime doesn't seem to have had a coherent plan in place. They got the team to a certain point and now it seems to be a case of "shit, let's try and sign whoever the biggest free agent is and hope it works out" each year rather...

Why can this not be a 1pm ET face off. Nobody wants a Sunday evening game. (I know the fact both played last night is probably why, I just wanted a selfish suitable uk face off time)

Should ditch Finland for the next one and replace them with Russia

I believe those wings are built here in Belfast. In a factory right beside where they built the Titanic 😃 But jokes aside, it seems to be a design decision https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/us/aircraft-safety-toronto-plane-crash/index.html

We’ll give Ohtani a billion dollars… but not Vlad half of that.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/IJt2JrLEOU Really weird accident.

Can’t wait to see Vlad Jr win multiple World Series for the Yankees in big finals against the Ohtani Dodgers And think how we came *SO* close to signing them all

Don’t think it’s meant to be that way up Thankfully sounds like everyone has survived and actually minimal injuries also

I dunno, Nylander was nowhere to be seen when it mattered and Tavares didn’t show

I wrote my previous post before I read this one. I fully agree with this. Why should you have to have different styles of play for the same sport. Call the penalties that are penalties. It's like we updated and modernised regular season hockey by eradicating the clutch and grab awfulness but...

The one thing the Leafs had going for them was the ability to overwhelm teams with offence. I get that it hadn't worked (as yet) but who's to say it wasn't going to work at some point. So actively choosing to suppress that one good trait is certainly a choice. And the Leafs are a dire team...
