JT. 💪 Great hustle play by Knies. Dumped it in. Retrieved it. Smart pass around to Mitch.

JT could have made a better play there.

If you work in the coal industry in the US, and your livelihood is your number one priority, one political party in the states is going to have a more favourable view of that industry. The Republicans have done a good job of targeting single issue voters.

NHL front offices cannot do prospect rankings at any reasonable level. I'd hate to be a scout.

Let's try this again. The Leafs are the better team. Let's get the 2 points tonight. No excuses.

Kirk is a good catcher. He's young. Seems to handle the staff well. He has deficiencies in his game, but he could mitigate some of that with a little more power. I don't think there is any other Blue Jay I want at bat in a sac fly situation than Alejandro.

Why sign Vlad when you can get a similarly aged Mexican who can actually play above-average defence at their position? Seriously though, if Kirk can figure out how to hit 20 home runs this contract will be a steal.

I think these are the lines combinations for the Leafs going into the playoffs: Knies-Matthews-Marner Laughton-Tavares-Nylander McMann-Domi-Robertson Lorentz-Kampf-Holmberg Or Domi-Matthews-Nylander Knies-Tavares-Marner McMann-Laughton-Robertson Lorentz-Kampf-Holmberg

The boys in blue are the better team. No excuses. Get the 2 points tonights.

Leafs probably should have tried to get Luke Schenn and Carlo than Carlo and Laughton.

Josh Leivo always had a nice shot.

Ok, question time. If the Leafs face Florida in the first round, does that change your thought process on who should start the playoffs in net? IMO, Stolarz hasn't looked good against Florida. Is Florida's familiarity with Stolie a disadvantage?

Maybe Woll? 😅

To put it simply, why does every team seem to be able to get a more favourable contract done with their players than the Leafs? Maybe this loser mentality from the front office bleeds it's way to the team? 🤷‍♂️ Rantanen and Marner were the same age, position, signing their deals weeks apart...

Perfect tip by McMann.

Tell that to Mikko Rantanen. ;)

I'm aware of this Busta. Only once you reach UFA years can you receive a NMC/NTC. For example, Cale Makar would only be eligible to have a NTC clause in the last year of his current deal. I'm not arguing whether these players had some form of trade protection. Again, my argument is that Marner...

Here's is a list of, what I think we can agree on, top players that did not receive a full NMC/NTC like Marner received, on the deal that took them to UFA status: Alex Ovechkin, Leon Draisaitl, John Tavares, David Pastrnak, Alex Barkov, Cale Makar, Johnny Gaudreau, Jonathan Huberdeau, Carey...

If you look at Tampa Bay, their re-signings of Kucherov, Brayden Point, Hedman, Sargachev, Hagel, all received a modified a no-trade clause in the last 3 years of their deals. (Hedman's newest contract signed in '24 has a full NMC that takes him until his age 38 season).

Matthews is looking good.
