Yeah, I think they're definitely going to miss some games. It'd be a shame to lose the whole season.

I don't want to fall too far down the trap, but we had those free-wheeling seasons under Keefe, and then when the grindy hockey of the playoffs presented itself, the Leafs got pounded. What I think might be different about this season is that Chayka went and built a bottom 6 that is grindy...

Wrong again, Frank E.

Sounds like doing right by the player...give him a chance to sign multi year deal while he's still producing. I can't imagine they'd have much trouble trading the guy at $6.5m X 1yr.

Jarnkrok had 6 goals and 2 assists in 56 games with the Leafs last season..."I scored goals" probably isn't a strong argument against your coach.

It's pretty tough to gauge until we see if he can get back to his more normal production. If he goes on to score 50 goals this season, well then, looks like $18m would be the starting point.

1 game back, as of this morning...didn't think I'd be writing that a couple of weeks ago.

I figure that's what it took for him to choose Chicago, given they're going likely nowhere near contention the next couple of seasons.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/patrick-kane-returns-to-blackhawks-on-two-year-deal/ Shit...but the Leafs couldn't touch a $8m AAV.

As soon as your best players are making ~$18m, it puts a definite crunch on what's left over for the other 20 or so guys to share. That's why I'm wondering how this goes over in the dressing room, and add to that if and when the Kreiders and Killorns have to be moved out.

I'm glad it was a legit hit...I was worried that it would be broken by a fielding error.

I liked how Schneider and the rest of the team left Cease alone in the dugout late in the game like "what no hitter?"

Those guys, and even Nylander holding out until the literal last minutes, used their leverage. It's their right within the CBA structure, and if teams like Philly are gutsy enough to play havoc with their cap/team structure, that's their right too. You don't have to like it, but that's just...

I don't have any empathy for Verbeek here, he's been in the game for decades and should have known this could happen if he didn't take action. I have some empathy for the fans, and Verbeek should have dealt with this issue months ago...make a signing deadline of June 1, or else I'm trading the...

I see about $4m too much money in bottom 6, and a hole at 2nd line RW. Patrick Kane plays RW.

I'd love to hear Bedard's agent's take on this!

I forgot about that Gauthier stuff, that he wouldn't play for Philly.

Wonder what they know that we don't...

Right shot.

That's taking a swing!
