Leafs Acquired Raddysh [8 years, $8.5mil AAV]

And on queue Kypreos is shitting all over this.

He's a loser. I'm fine with grump old school opinions but I find him insufferable. I hate that I like Bourne and Sam McKee because I still listen to him for their takes.

Honestly it's 100% the same with me. You can kinda tell Bourne has had it with him

Kypers a meatball, but I take him with a grain of salt. I do appreciate when someone says something definitive, as opposed to leaving every comment and opinion open-ended so you can never be wrong.

Kypreos seems to sensationalize things attempting to garner more attention - like he needs ratings to survive
I don't have anything specific to add at the moment. It just feels like that.

2 things.
1. Shitting on things garners more attention
2. It's easier to walk back if he's an excellent player than it is to call the move excellent and then watch him stink.

The Leafs signed the free agent with the most points last season, highest points per game last season, is also a defencemen, and is a right shot which is arguably their greatest area of need. How anyone can say this isn't a giant win for the Leafs is beyond me.

According to the well informed Kypreos 'ain't nobody was going to give him that contract. He didn't care about being a Toronto Maple Leafs player, they offered him the biggest contract that no one else was'

It was bugging me so I wanted the exact wording:

Kypreos:
Nobody was going to touch what the Leafs offered him. He's not here because he really wanted to be a Toronto Maple leaf

Bourne:
Oh, don't do that.

Kypreos:
He's 68 million. You cannot turn down $68 million. Okay. That is reason number one. Reason number two maybe, yeah, I want to be a Toronto Maple leaf. But no one was going 68 large.

Bourne:
But you know, this is the sort of thing that you do when you're trying to be serious. Like I think the Minnesota Wild looks at the Caprizov thing

And so so...
