Get ready for Matt Martin to do really well in free agency. He's going to get paid more than people might think.

A reminder that teams aren't actually allowed to negotiate specifc terms or make deals with free agents during the conversation period.

Not saying there's never under-the-table stuff. But if a deal leaked out ahead of time ... would be interesting. - MCharisma91
The Leafs are air tight. Nothing leaks from that camp !!

This is my last warning to those linking to competing hockey blogs, next one will be banned.
I don't know how many times I have posted this warning but it seems everyday. - LeafMan
Other things being equal, it’s better to draft a young guy than an older one. Even within a draft year, if the stats are equal, you take the younger one.
This is a lie in terms of the top picks so it's fine

The idea of giving up an asset like JVR for the ability to overpay Stamkos is absolutely ridiculous.
The whole reason we should want him and be willing to overpay is because it doesn't cost any assets...
At this point, we are probably far better off letting another team have him. Especially if he is only going to a be a 70 or 80 point guy going forward.
