Taking my father in law to a Bruins / Habs alumni game tonight. His first NHL game ever..
- bixll

That's not an NHL game, you cheap bastard.

Show the old man some respect!

but.. but... but then Bobby Ryan will never play for his hometown team, his favorite team from childhood... the Flyers.

NO. /veto

He's also Ek's best friend.

You can never have enough offensively challenged forwards on the decline. If Dale Weise had a clone in the league.. I would sign him right now. 4 years.
- Doc_Sarcasm

Do you really feel the need to explain this to Leafs fans?

He is, at least $675,000

a month?

His clone already exists. It's *insert name of bottom 6 habs fan favourite here*

sounds about right.

I still chuckle at the time when Ted Lindsay punched Pierre Pilote in the face at an old timers game over something which happened 20 years earlier. 😂

Oof. Forgot where I was for a moment. I'm terribly sorry.

my current best guess:

leafs will hold off signing jvr on the 1% chance tavares makes it to market.

so, 99% chance leafs make a reasonable contract offer to jvr at some point.

He's gonna look at Tavares' wing.

Want to see my Owen Nolan jersey?

How about my Ron Francis jersey?

Mogilny jersey?

Which reminds me... I saw surprisingly few Leafs jerseys at the game last night, considering how many Oilers jerseys and Blackhawks jerseys I saw when I went to see those two teams play the Flyers earlier in the season. However, one guy was rockin' a Wendel Clark jersey, and I saw a Gilmour jersey as well.

I still have my Gilmour.

For guys my age, 92-93 was all that and a bag of chips. After having cheered for so many terrible teams over the years, that year was so franking special. In a weird sort of way, I don't think a Stanley Cup team would be as special to me as that team was.

I'm sure I'll buy a few more jerseys over the course of my life, but I won't get another name on the back.

But I feel like I can always show up to a Leafs game - from now until eternity - wearing my Gilmour.

Sign them both, Marner and Nylander are not getting large contracts.

3 of the best Leafs ever.
- Scabeh

It's pretty easy to put together an all-star Leafs team - filled with guys who had terrific careers elsewhere, but made completely insignificant contributions to the Maple Leafs.

Lindros, Nolan, Francis, Housley, Leetch, Murphy, Parent, Barrasso, Ken Linseman, J.P. Parise...

Frank, the list goes on and on.

Brian Leetch was an all-time great Maple Leaf as well

Proof is in the pudding...

They should offer them $10mil per for BOTH. Then tell them they get the percentage of their contribution to their combined points. So if they combine for 100 pts and Marner scores 60 of them, he gets 6mil.

Where do I pick up my GM cheque?

Same place as always mark! Keep up the good "work"!

They won't get 10 mill combined, or is that what you're suggesting?

Maybe the Leafs should just apply the rule to the entire cap amount.

Everyone gets their points contribution as a percentage of the total!

Ok now I'm too lazy to calculate the points to make a joke about how cheap Martin would've been.

$950k for Martin!
$7.5mil for Matthews!

LOOK AT THE STEALS I HAVE DISCOVERED!

Proof is in the pudding...

Darn right.....Leetch averaged a point per game, his entire 15 game career with the Leafs.

If they had the cap space to offer Stamkos a contract they definitely have the space for Taveras.
