My gut feeling is that he’ll have a shelf life of a Komorov.

You’re right - I hadn’t looked into the contract situation yet, plus the retention, plus some picks coming back. So it’s digestible.

You know what kinda bugs me is that we always hear about the tax situation, but we never hear about the fact that these guys are paid in USD and have a 30% advantage living in Canada with the exchange. Besides, it’s not like these are people who are struggling to buy eggs for their family.

I care more about the 1st then Grebenkin to be honest.

Yeah I’m not arguing with that. I just mean that’s what the leafs needed at the time and fans at the time waaaaay overvalued boyes and mccauley. That’s where I was coming from. It’s hilarious that we both just independently referenced Yanic Perreault in 2 different threads.

Maybe Yanic Perreault is available.

You know what sucks about that is all those players (except housley I think) were still under contract for the lockout season. That leafs team was stacked and would have been awesome. And then came the dark times.

Pre cap nhl was wild and fun. Gilmour getting hurt on his first shift was so depressing.

Honestly it’s like people who still lose their shit over boyes and mccauley for Nolan. I do that trade over every time.

Nylander, Matthews, Tavares, Rielly and Marner. Despite what people say. They’re the only ones scoring.

I think people forget how useless he was in the playoffs here. I have no faith in a non mcdavid hyman.

Honestly I can’t disagree with this. I’m just kinda so meh on the team this last 2 seasons I’m finding hard to get worked up one way or the other.

Can someone explain to be how Schenn at 6.5 for the next 3 years is ok but Tavares at 7 for 3 more years isn’t?

Well holmberg has no business being in the top 6

And before we start the bunting reunion nostalgia I’m not sure his suspensions and 2 career playoff goals are what the leafs need.

Isn’t he injured?

Why not? The leafs pretty much propelled them to decade of dominance with 2 horrific trades. They kinda owe the leafs.

I truly thought the o’reilley/schenn year was the year to push all the chips in. I pretty much agree with all the moves that happened that year. I don’t know about give up and rebuild, but definitely re-tool. I mean they could be partway there with Tavares and Marner walking. But I don’t...

Sorry had to quote this again, I can’t get enough of this video. Just the complete exasperation is so endearing. And the mindless rattling of maga catch phrases. I love how it’s 2 different conversations and he’s having none of it.

That might not be a bad thing. This isn’t really the year to push all your chips in. They don’t have the assets, Matthews is sputtering and the team is flawed.
