Was there any mention of the server upgrades fixing the issues with my marriage and/or missing wife Limda?

Leafs are gonna make Alzner their highest paid player?
- walshyleafsfan


exactly... and why - if they were intent on giving someone over 6M/season would they target Alzner?

makes absolutely zero sense... Ek's source on this one might have been drinking (ALOT)...

the entire salary structure, the deals the Rielly and Kadri signed, the deal that Gardiner is on and the deal that Zaitsev just signed... they don't exactly scream "Brian Burke/Dave Nonis".... overpayment. Uncle Lou is far to shrewd for that.

6M+ for Alzner?

I would like to know what Jack Eichel isn't the highest scoring American at the WHC? Has he gotten a point at even strength?
Has he been forbidden from travelling to Paris because of jorts?

Her parents suffer from an unfortunate case of "digitus encasedporkisus", more commonly known in North America as Sausage Finger Syndrome.

Damn but whatever you been taking you need to share it about cause even drinking alone that doesn't get you to the point of that sheer stupidity. Leafs are NOT going to blow all that on Alzner and likely are not even interested unless they were trading Gardiner for something else. They just added the two swedes and likely only open up the bank like that for a true star #1 defenceman. Otherwise this is a popcorn fart in church.

The Leafs don't need Alzner. According to Augello, the Leafs are trading Gardiner for Trouba.

It's bad enough this site and another site I log onto have Tanner, but then I read this crap of you hearing the Leafs offering 6 mil for 6 years for Alzner.
Who told you this, your 5 year old son?
You do realize that Trudeau hasn't legalized what you've been smoking yet, right?

Of course Ken Holland is interested. When doesn't he pass up an opportunity to bring in a washed up veteran on a lousy contract, to further take playing time away from the kids that need it??

Alzner? $6M+??? Did Lou watch his team?

The Leafs took the Caps almost to the brink. Do they need help on defense? Sure, but do they need to spend $6M to do it? No way.

The Leafs just really need to solidify their back-end, not go for this major upgrade. They're better off spending around $3.5/$4M on a guy like Del Zotto who will bring solid positional play with some PMD ability than $6M on a guy who's only marginally better than him.

Del Zotto/Reilly is already a massive upgrade over Reilly's current partner.
