Maybe make the Ted Lindsay Award for the Most Outstanding Forward instead of Most Outstanding Player. Problem solved. I mean, It's kinda dumb they have a 'most valuable player' award and a 'most outstanding' player award.

Can the US recover from this? Even with the personal rights abuses, court abuses, Constitutional abuses, I still see support for Donald Trump in the US. Even if there is a regime change in 3 1/2 years, is the US too far gone and polarized at this point? It's going to be a lot of work to try and...

DUDE! He signed for $750,000 more! That's almost enough to sign a league minimum guy!

Overtime.

Carolina had to take on the full $6.25m cap hit but the way the bonuses worked they actually had a cap hit of $5,416,667 in year one and $416,667 in year two. But actual dollars paid out by Carolina was $833,333. Not a bad cost for a first round pick. It never should have been a 1st round pick...

I completely agree. This deadline was a perfect example. The Leafs should have put Järnkrok and Kämpf on waivers the day before the deadline so they would have cleared $2.25m against the cap $1.125m each) by noon on deadline day. Chances are they would have cleared, but if they were claimed that...

I want Tavares back, there's no question about that. The only issue is cap hit. I'd even hold out and finish the other UFA business and give Tavares whatever is left on a 1-year deal if he wants to go that route. With Tavares returning, I think the Leafs need to target one of Duchene...

The only exception I'd say to this is the Leafs could have made a roster mover to make Pacioretty fit. (they could have waived Kampf to make room) There were no roster moves Tampa or Florida could have made to make those rosters compliant.

Look, I don't want to be a Leafs apologist. I thought they lost because of no other reason the group's mentality. Specifically, the team/players were good enough but they choked. That being said, below is something I haven't heard a lot of people comment on: These were the on-ice cap values...

Yeah, no guarantee there but some internal help might be on the way.

Just wanted to point out that in the 2024 playoffs against the Bruins, Marner and Matthews spent less than 10 minutes together. (On a line/5-on-5)

FWIW, Mad Max is making a rehab start in Buffalo on Friday. He could be back within a couple weeks.

Kirky. Not bad.

I was really hoping they were going to last another 50 years...

What was DeBoer's contract? He gets his money either way. 🤷‍♂️ Edit: I think he has 1-year and $4m left on his contract.

Well, that's one way to get him off of Hockey Night in Canada.

Travis Konecny didn't need seasoning in the AHL and I don't think Cowan will need any either. Let Easton start the season with the big club. If he looks lost out there the AHL is always an option but I'm looking for a 10-13 minutes a night to start of some kind of positive impact, I think he can...

I dunno. I'm keeping the Cowan wildcard. The Leafs need a productive forward making less than $1m.

I'll be honest, I think I'd rather keep the Leaf players, as good as Robertson is. :confused:

There was definitely some pressure from management last offseason to make Marner feel uncomfortable. Heck, I was feeling uncomfortable and I'm only a fan.
