There is no question that I watch the Leafs differently today than I did 20 years ago. 20+ years since the Conference finals. Almost 60 years since the Cup Finals. 82 (soon to be 84) regular season games are a disproportionate amount of my time watching the Leafs. We don't have long...

Springer having one of his better seasons with the Jays has been a pleasant surprise.

Yeah, I'm not really holding it against the team. The problem was not trading Marner (or Nylander) 2 years ago. This is the cards we have now and this just happens to be a terrible offseason to try and replace top end talent. I don't think that spending 8+ million on Ehlers is the right call.

Day 1 of the off-season so who knows what can be pulled off as the summer drags on but the table scraps left in free agency certainly aren't very attractive for replacing Marner in the top 6. Maybe it's all on further Knies development, Matthews healthy, a rebound from McMann. Maybe they are...

Lorentz is back. 1.35M x3 years.

I mean this is an absolutely coup given we should have expected nothing for him. Nick Roy isn't a world breaker but he's a good 3rd line centre. That's great return for a guy who should have had absolutely zero value and everyone knew was leaving. The last 4 days have looked really good from...

Edmonton has done nothing to suggest they are going to be better next year. DO NOT SIGN BAD CONTRACTS THAT IMPAIR THE POSSIBILITY OF MCDAVID IN 2026.

Definitely doesn't feel like a Treliving kind of player but if he rebounds in the 40-50 point player (particularly playing with a Matthews/Nylander) a 3rd round pick seems good and even a 2nd round pick if he is a 50+ point player seems like good value. 11+ million in cap space left with 10...

Jays about to face off with the Yankees over the Canada Day "weekend" 45-38 record and currently sit in the 2nd wildcard. Only team in baseball with a negative run differential in a playoff spot.

So with the Knies signing that leaves the Leafs at: Forwards = 51.425M Knies (7.75) - Matthews (13.25) - Nylander (11.5) = 32.5M Domi (3.75) - Tavares (4.39) - Jarnkrok (2.1) = 10.24M McMann (1.35) - Laughton (1.5) - Kampf (2.4) = 5.25M Macceli (3.425) = 3.425M Defense = 25.7M Rielly (7.5) -...

I don't fully understand the move from Vegas' perspective either. Obviously they weren't going to be able to afford Hague (especially at that contract...woof) but this leaves them with 757K in cap space with 12F, 2G and 8D signed. They will get the cap relief of Pietrangelo's 8.8M but that...

Knies still needs to grow into that deal a bit but 6 years should make the total contract good value. Tavares and Knies are back for essentially 1M more

I wonder if something goes back the other way if we get both Hague and Roy. Hague would give us 7 defensemen. Getting Roy would be my preference. Tavares/Roy/Laughton is great depth up the middle

I think that's exactly it. Somehow they drag out those lame interviews and then the "draft clock" is still ticking even after that. There really isn't a great format for this stuff to make it more appealing but it feels like it should be easy enough to not have 10+ minutes between selections...

The NHL found a way to make the draft drag on even longer and make it worse. It's taking 20 minutes a pick

not sure why Columbus paid to get camp dumps from Colorado

The pelley press conference did not remotely leave me with any confidence that this wasn't a vendetta move from Rogers and has nothing to do with improving how the organization is run

That's a fantastic deal. You absolutely cannot argue that Tavares left a lot of money on the table here

This is why I don't feel good about pellet's "office restructuring" in Toronto. It's not that th concept is bad...I'm concerned it's financially drive from a Rogers

My two comment was about Knies and Tavares not Marner
