So now that the Leafs are caught up in the hard/ugly side of the cap instead of the "Yeah, we'll take bad contracts for picks" side they'd been in for years I'm wondering if the general view of the cap has changed around here. I don't think I was quite alone in thinking the cap was a bad idea...

The Lightning are saving some cap space here: https://www.nhl.com/news/jt-miller-traded-to-vancouver-by-tampa-bay/c-307990416?tid=278542340

Well, it's probably going to be one of the most eventful NBA off-seasons ever with a once in a generation looking top draft pick, some huge free agents and our World Champion Toronto Raptors faced with the task of either re-signing Kawhi or figuring something else out. Thought it'd be good to...

Well, that time of year and everything. Pitchers and Catchers reporting. Stroman upset about something. Here's their Spring Training Schedule: http://www.espn.com/mlb/team/schedule/_/name/tor And to start things off with a medium hot take that allows me to criticize the current management...

Well, at the 41 game mark I'm going to give my impression of the season. Obviously with the team playing as well as they are there isn't much to complain about(GDTs notwithstanding) but i think it's still useful to breakdown where the team needs to improve and who is really flying. My grades are...

Well, with the World Juniors here it's about time when we start seriously thinking about draft eligibles so I thought I'd start the thread. Here's Craig Button's latest rankings: https://www.tsn.ca/craig-s-list-kakko-boldy-and-kaliyev-rise-up-draft-rankings-1.1196164 And another set of early...

It looks like everyone's favourite children's book author will be getting suspended: https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/1071840666114654208 Ah well. As a fellow tribesman I hope this doesn't ruin the 8th night for him.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/stan-lee-marvel-comics-legend-721450 That's a bummer. I once semi-seriously argued he was the most important writer of the 20th century. He certainly had the biggest impact on my life of all of them. My favourite little weird fact about him is that he was...

This is from Friedman's 31 thoughts: My gut instinct is that, if true, this is more a case of Dubas doing due dilligence than a serious burning need but I do think that in terms of a short term deal for a reasonable hit that it actually makes a fair amount of sense. Something to try and...

Just thought I'd throw out a topic for some discussion. Last time it was 5 favourite Athletes, now I thought I'd ask about specific goals. Could be from any time, for any reason but what are the goals that you've got locked away in your brain. Here are mine: 5. Gary Valk sends the Penguins...

Anyone else kind of think the Leafs are painting themselves into a bit of a corner with the whole captaincy thing? To my mind, there are two perfectly valid ways to look at giving a player a C. They are: 1) Captains probably don't matter much but it's hockey tradition so we might as well give...

https://twitter.com/DarrenDreger/status/1036965610272514048 Have to hand it to Winnipeg. All of the doom and gloom about them not being able to re-sign guys definitely hasn't materialized.
