Yeah. Regardless going into the offseason, getting one of Mathews or stamkos would have been a really good offseason.

To tank or not tank this season? Vegas is really going to make tanking less worth it picking third…

I agree, these late rumours of the Islanders, Canucks, Sabres and Wings were all to generate TV ratings.

The only team I know very well, of course is Vancouver and there was no way he was ever coming here. When TSN reported it, we all just gave a collective finger in the air and turned to Sportsnet.

I wanted him to come here, but was worried the cap hit and term for when our ELCs are up.

Could've been a Kessel 2.0 too: a guy who puts up points, but never really got us where we needed to go.

It was $50K fine, no? I doubt any fans care.

The Juolevi pick though, not so good.

- prock




Oh Prock... come on.... the guy has not even been sized for skates yet and you have dismissed him? Booooo! Opinions need to have something to stand on.

The the fine was to "The Organization", not personally to Benning. and no, we don;t care.

Did the signing/trading for all 4th liners not tip you off?
- AdamFrench


Well he did start off making some nice moves freeing cap space and whatnot ...but its been a steady decline ..and now he just fell right of the cliff

Thanks guys... have a great Summer.

So Edmonton trades Hall straight up for Larsson, and Montreal trades the age 27-31 seasons of P.K Subban for the age 31-40 seasons of a declining Shea Weber? Feels good to be a Leaf fan right now even with the Stamkos news. Glad we don't have a management team like this anymore.

Sheesh Prock, bitter? Why are you spewing so much venom? You are welcome to your opinions... our 40(???) year old core will still out score your top line but I guess that doesn;t matter in your world. So I won;t argue about Virtanen after 1 season... its too early to know if he will be a great great player or just a great player.

Thats ok about the car remark, I know you are frustrated.

- Beatle_john



Not bitter at all.

The Canucks are a mess, so I find it funny that you're coming here to poke about Stamkos.

Your 40 year old core will retire in a year or two, without a cup, leaving the team with little to nothing on the roster or in the pipe.

Not a good scene.

Right? What's going to be hilarious is those clowns filling in air time on Friday.

Sadly, I'll watch the whole thing, with you clowns on my laptop, getting drunk and falling asleep on the couch by 4pm.

How does that work when he's signed for another 6 seasons?

It's almost like once the Leafs started being properly managed, the 6 other teams turned into the Leafs.

27-31 for Subban?

Isn't he signed until 2022 which makes him 33ish?
