    2018 World Junior Allegations

    I do think the threshold for this kind of thing is too high for victims, but reading and hearing some of the reporting doesn't make her slightly below the bar. Unfortunately based on all the evidence she is/was very below the bar, and her own attorney told her that it was not at all a strong...

    Dakota Joshua being traded to Toronto

    I agree they jumped the gun on trading picks but good god the Pens won with wingers the likes of Chris Kunitz, Patrick Hornqvist, Conor Sheary, Pascal Dupuis, Bryan Rust, Nick Bonino and during their first cup run their best regular season forward was Ruslan Fedotenko. Surely Matthews shouldn't...

    Dakota Joshua being traded to Toronto

    Because they traded Marner, I think based on CWs recent post history that's obvious.

    Armchair GM Thread 2025/26

    Definitely not against it if it wasn't Plan A or B. More like Plan F.

    Reaves traded to San Jose

    He was put on injured reserve and then said to the media he wasn't injured. That tells me he was a distraction. I could go on but why waste valuable minutes?

    Is he really worth double OEL though? I don't really know, but my gut says no.

    Reaves traded to San Jose

    Good because he sucked. It's fine to brash and boisterous if you can play. He just became a distraction.

    Reaves traded to San Jose

    To Marner?

    Reaves traded to San Jose

    I'm surprised he isn't just some AHL scrub. Dunno how good he is but he's at least played some NHL games.

    2025-26 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

    That'd be a great add. Wish he was a bit younger. Man that Brassard trade was nuts.

    Marner to Vegas is finally happening

    Like Marner is the only guy Babcock ever did anything to, Marners is just the one we know of that became very public. What a surprise. He was also fired after that and essentially blacklisted from NHL coaching for years. Using that as ammo for not re-signing after multiple coaches? Please. And...

    Marner to Vegas is finally happening

    Exactly. It's not something to poison the well over, and the Leafs should've traded him if it was. And what grates at me is I don't think this is Marner, it's his camp, who even complained about usage and deployment over the years. I cant remember the last time someone hung something as minor as...

    Marner to Vegas is finally happening

    Lou "started the disrespect" or the camp was ready from the start of Mitch's pro career, and likely before that, to use every ounce of leverage to get what they want, including using anything that could be construed as aggrievement as a real aggrievement?

    Marner to Vegas is finally happening

    Darkest day in Leafs history? Really? Just off the top of my head Ace Bailey was almost literally killed on the ice and his playing career ended.

    Marner to Vegas is finally happening

    If the team goes further next year in the playoffs then it's irrelevant. Do we think without Marner the team could do much worse than winning two rounds in nine years? If there a hole without him? Yes. Will filling what he brings be difficult? Yes. Can we replace him one to one? No. Can more...

    Marner to Vegas is finally happening

    Bourne today called he and his camp the most sensitive group in hockey history and I really don't think that's a stretch. Bourne is not a guy that I think generally speaks hyperbolically, and he did work as part of the Leafs org. That's enough for me, and the additional revisionist history...

    Marner to Vegas is finally happening

    Treliving repeatedly tried to sign him even when he just arrived according to the GM himself, which is getting conveniently forgotten. The Leafs didn't let him walk without trying to retain him. At the end of the day this is a Marner/Shanahan mess and both are very culpable and the hand wringing...

    And maybe Drouin would be worth a look but even Bjugstad, JVR... Do we really need them?
