He can't get bonuses, not a ELC or an over 35 contract. It's a shame because he's the type of player that would be perfect for bonuses.

Thx for the info👍

Toews 10.5 mil contract is going to look pretty good in a year or so

I'd rather go back to the Hartnell rumours.

You're right gonorrhoea is better than herpes.

A 4th Stanley Cup would also make it look good.

I would be surprised . They got rid of their 30 goal guy for a twenty goal guy .

Lucic and Pulijaarvi combined should replace Halls' points adequately.

I will be, that defense and goaltending is still really questionable IMO.

Talbot proved he could play in front of a good D like most goalies. Nurse and Klefbom are a year further along and Larsson will help immensely. One more top 4 dman and they should be there. Whether it happens this year remains to be seen.

That's funny because I don't think too many in here expected much from him when the trade was made. I don't see how you can say he failed expectations. I know I was hoping for a big young reliable goalie. Voila , exactly how he is turning out.

Why am I so defensive ? When fans from other teams come in here with idiot comments I can act however I see fit .

Bingo. Markstrom was still a raw talent after years floundering in a poopty system in Florida. That may have been Luongo's fault since they had a good one and maybe expected goalies to just "figure it out".

He has made enormous strides in the last 2 years in the Vancouver system. That is a testament to the goalie coaching in both Utica and Vancouver.

Sadly East Coast fans (who go to bed too early) remember the Florida Markstrom. He is a different player now due to good coaching and hard work. Position-ally he is extremely solid and uses his size well and is seldom out of position.

There is a big difference between a "hockey" fan and A "team" fan. Good for you for dressing down one who is obvious the latter.

that can't be serious. The leafs would have to add a 2017/2018 1st to lupul for tanev and even then it would be a bad trade for us.

I think the exact rumor was different than that.

poor form mate..



Thanks for the great blog Carol! I have a feeling Lundqvist gets burned against either Canada or NA and we see Markstrom in relief.

Called it. Kind of....

Does anyone know who will stream the Young Stars games? I hope I can watch them.

Surprised Sportsnet isn't televising it yet.

I can't even find it on google, must not be a solid rumor. Or was deleted.

TOR/VAN may be working on. Lupul trade like the Bolland to ARZ trade. Sbisa for Lupul, picks and or Rychel.

Same, an eventual LTIR for a defenseman we don't want. 1.65 more cap for having lupul, but it isn't for a full season. I just don't see what TML does it because they don't need the cap once LTIR players kick in.

Well Vantel you were right these are the years of alcohol. I can see how some people get divorced.
