yeah, but unlike the GM's of DET/TB/BUF ... Lou / TOR keeps their mouths shut
- MCharisma91

thats cause LouLams threatens to give anyone in the know in management concrete shoes and a long bath in lake ontario if they say something.

maybe thats the plan.... put himself on the market tying up interested team's cap dollars.... essentially freezing them during the FA period. this would allow stevie y to go in a scoop a couple more needed pieces that might put them over the top while the other GMs are focusing on landing the big fish.

then stammer resigns in TB and they all have a good laugh.

I think you are giving Yzerman way too much credit here.

Still waiting on the breaking news from Cheeseburger about a D-man going to picked up by the Leafs shortly - about 4 days ago

do we know what the conditional 5th rounder is in the Rychel deal over the weekend?

If Harrington claimed when they send him down they get a 5th instead.

if they sign harrington the leafs dont have to give it up... if harrington gets claimed if he is put on waivers the leafs give up their 5th

do we know what the conditional 5th rounder is in the Rychel deal over the weekend?
- zazzle

Yup.

If Harrington gets cut from CBJ and gets picked up on waivers, we owe them a 5th


We should just claim him ourselves and effectively net Rychel for a 5th hah

KingGilmour?

I don’t really follow what tsn/sportsnet says much. Are they minimalizing the leafs as a contender for stamkos?
- Tumbleweed

I would like to see him go there but....I don't think it's happening.
I don't think they want to tie that kind of money up long term on him. Isn't Matthews supposed to be the number 1 to build around.

I think both Detroit and Buff outbid them.

Yeah, having 2 elite centers would be awful

I think he signs with Toronto even though there were higher bids, and all these leaked bids are just PR to make TO and Stamkos look good when he signs with TO for less

Relax...just my thoughts on it.

to be fair and in his def... he never technically said "shortly" ..just said they're trying/actively.

but yeah...where the (frank) is that dman?!

if its about $ he will get more signing with someone else....maybe not the same marketing opportunities but with the tax rate here... its still true

if he wants to come home and win a cup... thats the one reason he signs in toronto
