To me there's gotta be a way Dubas could get some kind of pick for Leivo.  He's quite good IMO.  At least a 6th rounder.  Something.  The guy they got seems like he's already had a few good shots.  I guess there is the outside chance he could still do something.  I just would have wanted someone...

The whole thing with Donaldson was shortsighted.  They were offered the eventual rookie of the year pitcher for him.  They should have taken it.  Anyone in their right mind would have. Then there is Bautista, a franchise icon, who was unceremoniously shown the door when they could have had him...

True, it's not bad, but it could have been *so* much better.  Look at it this way, until recently the Yankees had an equivalent or better farm system, they went to the playoffs, *and* they have endless cash and an ownership that wants to win.  That's what the Jays are up against.  And it doesn't...

That?s the thing. And Shapiro basically admitted that they should have started the rebuild earlier but there were external factors. The team is poorly run, let?s face it. I can name at least five major assets that they mismanaged. Excellent assets that they could have parlayed into very nice...

That has yet to be seen.  He has missed all of training camp and 25% of the season at this point.  It's going to take him some time to get up and running and even then things will never be the same.  He has missed all that time playing with his linemates.  All that time when he should have been...

Did you see Donaldson's comments about the Blue Jays training staff, and also Shapiro somewhat indirectly? https://torontosun.com/sports/baseball/mlb/unveiled-in-atlanta-ex-blue-jay-josh-donaldson-takes-shot-at-former-team?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1543415812 We had probably...

Don Cherry panned the deal but I kind of feel like we paid fair market value for him; perhaps a bit more.  But really this could be the icing on the cake for our cup run.  What would Cherry have done?  Let him sit?  Trade him for less valuable assets?  Both bad moves IMO.  I agree with a lot of...

What is the cap hit, per year?  This deal is extremely confusing.  Did we gain any ongoing cap relief due to the fact that he sat out this long? I will also say that I am quite pleased with the deal overall.  I still think they should trade him immediately though.  I could be wrong.  I've been...

Almost 4pm.  One hour to go.  This is as high stakes as I have seen as a Toronto sports fan.

Yes.  CFL players also.  I had one living on my street actually.  Middle class neighbourhood.  Nothing special.

You know what's sad to think about is that these NHL players are playing what is IMO the most physically demanding and injury prone sport on earth and they are being paid a pittance compared to all the other major professional sports in North America aside from perhaps soccer (but keep in mind...

The organization wants Nylander to sign because they are saying nice things to him and are kind to him.  Nylander wants them to be kind to him and show him the money!  ;D

I personally think it's manipulation.  The organization wants Nylander to sign.

Did you guys see hasty Hastings hastily hand over the stick to Marner, with haste?  It was a beautiful thing.

How do you know?

Man of the match OMG Auston Matthews!  I'm not even going to mention anyone else.

He's got a flair for the dramatic when he plays first games back whether that be from injuries or first games of the season.  I guess that's his way of announcing his arrival.  2 goals and an assist.  The guy's a beast.  His shot looked good too which is a good sign.  Did you see that tip also? ...

OP you are assuming he will sign.  I am not convinced.  I think there is still a very good chance he sits out for the season.  If you think accepting Dubas' offer is a mea culpa for Nylander, think about his agent.  Someone is going to wind up with egg on their face.  And it's not going to be Dubas.

Good point.  Sadly I don?t think Nylander will make it to the end of the season as a Leaf.

Addition by subtraction.  The team is playing better without him.  Quite frankly I think the Leafs would be a much better team overall if they parlayed Nylander into some very good defensive help.  Very good being the operative words.  It would have to be the right trade.  But I would get rid of...
