We won't even need D

Yes I know, they took on a lot of salary in the short term to rid themselves of long term "Nonis deals".

We'll draft one, with the first overall next year......

Ah (frank) again

Burn you ok? Should I call 911?

Mount Erie right?

Leafs miss the playoffs but aren't in the bottom 5 is what I'd bet money, if I had to right at this moment. But they win the draft lottery.

In case you forgot: There Will Be Pain

-Can retain salary on two traded deadline expiring deals. Polak/Greening/Laich/Michalek as required.
-Leafs are stuck with Lupul's deal, so time Nylander's next contract and hope he earns those dollars on long term UFA eating deal.
-The abundant cap space in'18/'19 ear marked for Matthews/Marner next deals.
-Lou said 50% new roster from what ended season: Andersen, Soshnikov, Nylander, Marner, Matthews, Hyman, Zaitsev, Martin & Polak*...9/20 line up (pretty close)
-There will have to be a forward or two moved for futures or package for young player.

Not getting Stamkos and not going on tilt Friday and offering a really stupid long term big cash deal shows the Leafs are prepared to hunker down and eat it another year, see players develop in 'a safe environment' (See: Martin & Polak and other retained vets).

Based on Leafs Twitter this weekend people are ready to jump - there is a Shanaplan and it's disciplined. It will change, but signing two guys to low cost deals with established track records are relatively low risk.

Pain.

EDIT: Rychel and Brown in the mix too.

The headline... Return of the polak rhymes with a song.

I'll say it again, (frank)ing capital A one that the Leafs didn't blow their brains out on anything for UFA...well played by the Leafs.

Not thanking Buffalo or congratulating Pittsburgh at the draft and just making the pic was pretty awesome. As was the Leafs sitting there two hours early the next day before any other teams. That was some hardboiled poop lol, I love it.

Two hours early to pick a kid none of us knew.



He played well at the WJC and won't be available for two years? I like it. And that was my actually thought when I read up on him.

Huh? Highway to Hell doesn't rhyme at all.

Retaining salary on the expiring contracts isn't an issue, I imagine they'll use it.

Imagine they'll have lots of competition in camp to see who makes it.
