Ah yeah I was wondering how he only got a 1-year deal. Don't believe a Russian prospect coming over on an AHL-only deal is pretty common, but I guess it makes sense here. Obvintsev seems to have only appeared in 6 games last season in the VHL (Russia's AHL equivalent). 3 goalies on his team...

Figured as much. I'll turn off my dark mode in solidarity for now.

That's a weird one. Can't seem to find anything that would toggle that for certain user groups. Out of curiosity what happens if you go here: https://tmltoday.com/community/misc/style

You can get to a dark mode by going to your account "preferences" and changing the forum "design" from "TMLToday Design" to the "Default Style". Then underneath that option the "style variation" drop down menu shows up and you can choose dark mode there. At least it's a work around for now.

Just remembered this. Those within the Florida organization always seemed to give McCabe a lot of credit for his work there. I wondered if Sundin would be looking to bring him aboard, but at the time it seemed like his role would overlap a little with Wickenheiser's. Now there's an opening...

That's the thing. I'm sure all the individuals being let go are good people, but ultimately this team hasn't succeeded in a lot of areas over the past long, long, long time so it's tough to really say change throughout the organization isn't warranted. You can't always just change the person at...

Morrison, meh he's been here forever doubt that's a big loss. I've been saying since even before Dubas was fired the impact our analytics group has had on our teams success feels a little underwhelming, so I've been expecting a revamp of that for awhile. Leach is definitely the biggest...

I started to wonder if they'd let him go considering the way it was structured (allows him to walk to UFA with Utah being unable to trade him) but I'm glad they matched. Otherwise I would have been upset the Leafs didn't make the offer sheet instead.

The league is feverishly scanning this video for any violations Chayka may have made.

The Leafs updated the coaches on their website and Sullivan is not listed as an assistant coach anymore, or anywhere else on the page. Again presumably that means he's taking a different position in the organization somewhere, likely either Marlies head coach or management.

Lalonde and Van Ryn are both out. No mention of Sullivan here. Chayka said something about the possibility of someone in the coaching staff being moved to a different position in the organization a little while ago when he was asked about the rumour Van Ryn wasn't returning. Guessing that's...

Convincing Alfredsson to leave the sens... for the Leafs?! That's a hell of a salesman.

I'm sure Flyers fans would be reasonable if he struggles.

Wright has a higher ceiling I think, especially as a centre, but more bust potential. Cowan is a safer bet to be a consistent middle-6 forward. It'd be an interesting trade. His faceoff issues could be offset, at least for the next couple years, by having Tavares on his wing.

Would you do Wright for Cowan? That's probably the only way it works for Seattle.

When I plugged him in at $2mil the other day I realized that would have made things tricky for the Leafs to fully utilize all of Domi's LTIR space (if/when that happens), so I figured that he would come in a little lower than that. Even better that they got it to that number on 2-year deal...

It's their right side that's been gutted though with Carlson, Trouba, and Gudas all leaving via free agency. They still have LaCombe and Mintyukov on the left side which is really decent. But yeah pretty bizarre offseason for them so far. I'm surprised they didn't move McTavish for a RHD...

Confirmed to be another one-way deal, which certainly makes the decision to stay a lot easier.

It's both (well success, not necessarily money). Developing prospects in a losing environment just isn't a good idea. And again without veterans at least somewhat leading the way a team will get stomped in the AHL. There's no real way around that. It's also not just one way or another. You...

Yeah I've always liked Hardy and was glad he stuck around during the post-Dubas exodus. Especially since as I've said before I really get the feeling that Treliving sort of downgraded his role while he was here in favour of people like Clancey and Doan.
