At this point I'm ready to become a Montreal fan to get away from any mention of him. *Edit: Oh my god.

Why do we keep doing this to ourselves? This is getting worse than Leafs reddit.

Amazing what decent goaltending (and some puck luck) can do.

You have to think Vegas would allow Cassidy to talk to Toronto and pay the rest of his contract. I am curious about Torts apparently leaving Vegas at the end of this and that Vegas may already have a replacement.... Bizarre.

Good luck. This is going to turn into Vietnam in both slow and fast motion.

Pronman has come out and listed all the D in the same tiering as McKenna and Stenberg. This seems patentedly insane. I find it highly unlikely they are all in the same tier. He also listed "usefulness" essentially as part of the ranking. D and centres are most important, but aren't ranking all...

I've seen two playoff games live. Danford just seems like a very steady, reliable guy on the backend. Not flashy but as Babcock used to say, knows where to stand. Cowan doesn't have the points to back it up as much, but he has some flash to his game. He grinds and tries and then you see a...

That is essentially where I'm at as well. Make some trades to turn over the roster but only for reasonably young players, restock draft capital, go hard for quality free agents, maybe offer sheet someone if you can and just keep playing hardball. We've already felt the sting of coming in...

I don't really want to give up quality assets for a guy turning 33 this summer. Nick Robertson, ok. No to Akhtyamov.

I actually hadn't seen him play until last night and truthfully I don't know how he's stopping the puck. I'm getting Samsonov PTSD flashbacks of how much he swims in the net. If they lose they really need to prioritize getting a functionally solid goalie.

The goaltending is gonna let this Carolina team down. Jeez.

I don't hate it, I don't love it.

I would be surprised if they came back with Tavares as the 2C and I'd be highly disappointed if he doesn't get slotted down to 3C or turns into a winger.

That's where I've landed on too. I really don't want anything to do with Patrick Roy though, but I wonder if his junior resume helps his cause. I personally wouldn't let it.

This has to be more about the internal/media pressure than anything else right? There are so many more variables other than "Can they perform in the playoffs?" The question is more can they perform in the playoffs under this level of media scrutiny? I think also to some extent this comes down to...

I wonder if that's because they liked what they saw at the combine as well? Beyond maybe learning more about him as a person it's hard to know what would have solidified their pick.

I am speaking generically about players under contract, not your favourite person you speak about like he's your firstborn. I didn't say Larkin wouldn't provide more teams, but the ongoing narrative is the Leafs are in tough because of NMCs. Willy and Matthews have already dictated that they...

How is this about Marner yet again? He's lifting his NMC for three teams, one of which unloaded their assets for Quinn Hughes. Good luck with that. If Matthews wants to be traded he will likewise provide names, and possibly only a few. The logic remains essentially the same. But it's the Leafs...

Why is every thread, including the draft thread, about Mitch Marner? That's a rhetorical question btw.

We don't know what the change was, but how quickly did Dallas resign Nill when they started the GM search? Toronto is a threat or the other teams wouldn't be trying that desperately to keep or lock in once they've made a decision. I don't think they are just being used as leverage. The idea that...
