Huberdeau, Weegar, 1st rounder and an above average prospect for Tkachuk, who basically would only go to 1 destination, is an absolute haul of a trade, considering all of those cicrumstances. And if I recall correctly, many pundits loved that offseason for Calgary and predicted them to go far...

And, as I should have expected, he just hit a huge bomb.. ! :censored:

The problem is, for someone who can only play the least important position (and not particularly well, either), can't run and who has an awful baseball IQ, that contract can only look great if he is basically the best hitter in the entire game year after year. But like you said, I'm sure...

So the guy that many people demanded the Jays re-sign at all costs currently sits at a .794 OPS with 6HR and 1.1 WAR in just under 200 at bats. Funny enough, that is kind of in line with his efforts every year, except for that 1 covid season in Buffalo's AAA ballpark, and the amazing 3 months...

I found this pretty puzzling too. I can maybe accept the argument that Robertson made a few major mistakes resulting in Pacioretty coming in for him for a game. I also feel that Pacioretty established himself as a mainstay in the lineup thus forward. But how can Robertson not be given another...

I also have to marvel at Florida's unbelievable ability to barely take any penalties, despite leading the entire NHL in penalties this regular season; whilst still being total and utter dirtbag, cheapshot artists to boot! Bravo!

So, uh, this Panthers team is kinda good

The "first" was partly in jest but I was just curious as to what the consensus would be. If SJ really works as a prime destination and the Marner camp wants to maximize the overall contract dollars, the rights for the #1 free agent in a weak year might creep up in value...(although I doubt...

Yea, I could see SJ too. They have two 1sts and two 2nds in each of 2025/2026. Could we possibly snag the worst of the 1st rnd picks for the opportunity to sign Marner to a lucrative 8-year contract?

I agree with that. I still don't know why that means Nylander should be criticized as much, or more than Marner, especially since the latter didn't, you know, play defense all that well those games either..

OH, I certainly don't want to run it back, nor do I think there shouldn't be a significant move; I'm just a bit apprehensive about blowing things so much that we don't even get the opportunity to fall on our face ;)

I wonder if there will be an attempt to target a team like Winnipeg, who is kind of in a similar position as Toronto in terms of playoff problems and may look for a shakeup? Perhaps a potential sign and trade with Marner for Connor, with an extension attached (and another piece/pieces of ours...

And that's the thing, being in our division completely skews the traditional optics about playoffs and rounds. We play the Stanley Cup Champs, defending Champs or main Cup contender every 1st-2nd round. You can't look at all of these loses as simply out in the first or second round; they are...

I'm a fan of both too. But can you imagine the inverse (re-upping Marner, letting Nylander walk away in FA? This team loses to Florida in 4 straight, and very likely does not get out of the 1st round. There is a significant problem with playoff Marner, particularly in games that matter (11...

It's funny but we did have an elite, run and gun team and then all of a sudden the playoffs started turning into WWE cage matches...and to exacerbate that issue, our guys were the only ones getting suspended..How do the Leafs combat this? Adding the likes of Bennett, Marchand and/or Ekblad only...

AM-MM line got torched at home with last line change...I'm kinda dreading this one tonight.. I'd have loved to have seen something along the lines of: Knies Matthews Nylander Laughton Domi Marner McMann Tavares Robertson Lorentz Holmberg Pacioretty But win or die by the sword I guess..

I just don't understand why there wasn't a concentrated effort to figure this out during the regular season (and preceding regular seasons). We've seen for awhile that the Matthews-Marner connection is just way too easy to shut down in the post season, where there's less room and tighter, more...

Probably just his roid-rage

Can't blame the refs for this one.... I Guess Treliving was onto something with the Rantanen swap..

Tough one to swallow. Not that the Leafs' didn't deserve their penalties, it's just frustrating that Florida is allowed to elbow, hit from behind and interfere without consequence. That blantant near-charge directly from behind hit on Tanev in full view of everyone that wasn't called early on...
