Personally I think the numbers are much more likely 10-11 for Stamkos and 10-12 for McDavid, but there's no point arguing over opinions. If Stamkos gets 12 or more I hope it's not the Leafs doing it. And based on your age range then, you'd turn down a 26 year old Crosby or Ovechkin as a UFA too?

You really think McDavid is coming in with a 20-40% lower cap hit after his entry deal is up? If he's as good as you expect him to be (which is the general consensus) then he's hitting ten mil for sure. Tarasenko signed for 8 million on his second contract. And again, I'm not advocating for...

What about the other example? What is the difference between adding Stamkos and McDavid right now? Both potentially have the same impact on the Leafs draft position moving forward, and by the time the team is ready to compete both likely have similar cap hits, so if you think it's too early to...

I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but I'm curious what the cut off is for the anti Stamkos crowd. If he was 24 instead of 26 would he then be 'young enough'? Is it also imperative that JvR and Kadri be traded because they don't fit the age range? As far as the team being too good with...

Is there some controversy over it?

And here I am over thinking it like a sucker.

What's with the Simpson's reference? How'd he get that nickname?

Thanks!

So just how good is this kid? He's obviously not McDavid, but would he have gone ahead of or after Eichel last year?

That ump last game actually handled things really well. With everything that went on it could have gotten VERY ugly, but he kept his cool and the players didn't get out of control. And the fact that he owned up to his mistake and didn't hide from questions about it really impressed me.

Donation made, thanks for all the great work! Also, while I can now access the board on my laptop, my tapatalk app is still not working. I don't know if anybody else is having this problem or if the board is still being updated yet. I'm using android if that makes a difference.

I see a grey page, not the blue one

I don't post much either, but the board being down made me realize how much I rely on this place for information. So much so that I figure I had better make a donation to the site. How do I go about doing that Rick?

Worst case the season is cancelled, they hold a draft lottery again and the Leafs are one of the few teams with the best odds of getting the #1 pick and drafting the next Crosby.

Are we seriously saying that Bernier isn't a better option than Scrivens? Scrivens has done great so far and clearly deserves a backup role in the NHL, but that is likely as far as he goes. How many goalies come into the league at 26 and make an impact? Better yet, how many North American...

Well, assuming nearly 50% of the US doesn't qualify as being civilized then maybe.

Pure speculation on my part. Burke said he was in on a Staal trade but couldn't make it work, partly because there wasn't already another Staal on the team. I was just guessing what the return might have been based on what Carolina traded, so the 5th, Schenn, plus something might have been...

I'm wondering if this trade came up again now that Staal was traded. Burke said he was in talks for him but couldn't get a deal done. Pittsburgh might have been asking for the 5th, Schenn, plus something else. With that option gone the JVR trade may have looked like the best option for trading...

How can you call somebody stupid for the way their last name is spelled? It seems like you're just looking for reasons to b*tch right now.
