Any talk of Nylander worth less than this is ridiculous.

Maybe you missed, again, what Nik was saying but his point is that the best player in a given professional sports league is not necessarily the highest paid.  So, since you only know and thoroughly understand the NHL, Connor McDavid is the best player but he may not be the best paid.  In this...

Your point is clear and well-made, but  Trout is making $37M and Rendon is making $35M (and least in terms of average salary).

Definitely moves on defence are forthcoming.  I don't think the Leafs can go into season with the D looking like this. 

I think the forwards have shaken out pretty well, although I worry about 3C.  I think it's clear why O'Reilly didn't sign: he was after a multi-year deal and the Leafs, justifiably, are primarily interested in shorter term deals this off-season.  Still, though, I would have loved to have...

PP2 is going to be a legitimate threat.

Sorry for the dates comment, but an honorary doctorate is not a real doctorate.  Dubas won?t be using the Dr. salutation.

Great read, Herman, thank you.  The article made me revisit the Jack Eichel trade, which serves as the perfect justification and template for a potential Marner deal.  Yes, Eichel just won a Cup in Vegas, but the four quarters Buffalo got for the dollar are working out just fine, thank you. ...

".....my F-word and ME" (not I in that context)

It's a great article, thanks for the reference. Honest question: why would moving off the Murray contract imply some sort of asset going with him to make it happen?  Would the Leafs not be in a position to simply eat the last year of his contract and send him through waivers to the Marlies?  If...

I'll skip past the coach and GM speculation and turn to the Core 4 trade proposal.  Admittedly, I lifted the idea from an online article, but the idea of a Carolina-Leafs deal centred around Marner makes a lot of sense in my mind. Marner for Seth Jarvis and Brett Pesce, anyone?

All things being equal, I agree with you, Nik.  But the window is closing from a salary cap perspective.  Bunting, for instance, is a significant contributor.  He will not play in Toronto for $900k again.  Can you replace him at that salary?  Maybe Knies can get you part way but 60+ points is a...

Ultimately, the window of opportunity is quickly closing and that?s what?s most disappointing to me.  The winning was supposed to have happened by now.  The team is designed as an offensive powerhouse and yet, repeatedly, cannot seem to play to its strengths in rhe playoffs.  For me, something...

Good win.  Keep going, one at a time, three more.

Bless your heart

I hate being ?that guy? but honestly Jarnkrok has been awful.

Damn it

No, not even close.

YES!!!!

Ok, but seriously, how is that not a four minute penalty?
