There's going to be plenty of cap space and no opportunities.
- Atomic Wedgie

That will also be exciting.

Guess that makes him the smartest Leafs fan of all.
- Scabeh

That would be Spatso.

He had the good sense to give up all hope.

When you say "getting rid of Greening Michakek Lupul Bozak Holland Komarov and Martin" do you mean "trading Greening Michalek Lupul Bozak Holland Komarov and Martin" for 1st round picks?

P.S. Are you the first Leafs fan to call for trading Martin? Congratulations.
- Atomic Wedgie

I don't think we can get first round "picks", plural, for these guys.

We can package 4 or 5 of them for an elite defenseman though.

... I was wondering if you would notice the trading Martin thing

Alright you guys might know the difference between the NHL and the MLB a little better, but how does Ortiz talking openly about Encarnacion's contract situation not constitute as tampering? He's more or less implying that his team or any other, may be interested

And EE blushing like a little kid when reporters ask him about it later, is lame.

He just wants you to think of the possibility!

If by smartest, you mean most idiotic or biggest bumhole, (Flyfreaky not included), then yes, yes I am.

he's not sayin'. he's just sayin

He does have a point, though.

Do you really want your team to win the Stanley Cup?

Aren't you better off coming in 2nd, so that your team remains hungry and maybe can win the Stanley Cup the next year?

I'm just saying hockey fans need to think about this.

Meh, it's baseball.

Believe it or not, there's more common sense in the NHL brain trust than that of the MLB.

- Atomic Wedgie

Really? That is not tampering.

What if Ortiz said that the Red Sox GM is really hoping Encarnacion makes it to FA

Guess that makes him the smartest Leafs fan of all.

Worried about this happening again?



God damn that was a satisfying game

I wonder if maybe it is an actual thing it is a thing that perpetual losing teams can see a drop in interest if they finally win...

kind of like a horrible contract being good for helping a team get to the cap floor.

Regardless, the Leafs will be fun to watch this year.

Don't sleep on what not allowing one bad goal a game will do for team confidence

- WingmanWillie

Glad Brenier is gone for sure. Holy crap these are bad..

He's been poop for a while now
- walshyleafsfan

Poop as a starter and poop as a backup are two different things.

One plays 15-20 games, the other plays 50-60.

Worried about this happening again?
- WingmanWillie

Why would I be worried? Who wouldn't be happy seeing Rene Bourque get punched in the face?

And hey if the Leafs want to hire more Colton Orrs and Matt Martins on my team it's fine with me.

Meh, it's baseball.

Believe it or not, there's more common sense in the NHL brain trust than that of the MLB.
- walshyleafsfan

yeah just took me aback a little, this isn't the first time I've seen this sort of thing with EE... I feel like this just doesn't happen in the NHL

Laich to Captain the Leafs (M4)

Still poop.. No matter where you put him. Still smells.

In other sporting news...

Did you know that there is no prize money for the Olympic golf event? 3 medals - the rest get a steaming hot cup of Zika-infused Jack.

Why the frank would anyone go there?
