A lot of SO wins that bumped up that point total and a fairly weak division along with a lot of offensive power that masked a lot of defensive issues that got exposed in the playoffs. Still a lot of room for improvement on D. - Unholy_Goalie
Two seasons ago...if I told you they'd be a 106 point team...you'd have called me delusional. If I told you the leafs would have 3 60 point forwards and a ppg centre...kadri back to back 30 goal seasons...and 2 50 point dmen. ..and gain you'd call me delusional. Improvement will come from within..with patience. |

I gotta agree with UG though.
This still leaves too much open to interpretation. If you trade for the rights to someone, wouldn't that make them "your own player"? It doesn't say anywhere that they needed to play games for your team or start the season with you, or be traded to you by the TDL or anything, so getting the negotiating rights would seem to count unless it's written more specifically somewhere else. - Thecakeisalie
No.
You've only been granted the rights to talk to them before anyone else. They aren't 'your player' until they sign the contract, which is not a guarantee. |

But where though. That's the question. I haven't seen anybody cite that line specifically and today's the first I've ever heard of the trade deadline having anything to do with signing an 8 year deal. You'd think on TDL day, one of the experts would have said "If any team wants to sign Tavares to an 8 year deal, they need to acquire him today or else they can't". Because I didn't hear anybody say that, did you? - Unholy_Goalie
How many players have been acquired AFTER the deadline? |

Yeah, I did. That's why I brought it up. Someone on here brought it up after hearing an "expert" talking about it on TV. I don't remember who said it or who they heard talking about it, though.
Again, I haven't actually read the rules on it so I don't know. |

Jesus H b'y.
Go to No Frills. Buy a can of Unico San Marzano tomatoes.
Heat up some olive oil, toss in a clove of garlic, cook it until you can smell the garlic. Remove the garlic.
Add in some chili flakes (pinch), squash in your tomatoes by hand, add a bit of water to the can to slosh around and get it all out, add that to your garlic and chili flake infused oil, add salt and pepper, cook for 20 minutes on a medium-low simmer.
Cook some good durum semolina (i.e. made in Italy) spaghetti, el dente (bit of bite to the noodle still), toss them in the sauce, cook for a couple of minutes, add torn fresh basil leaves, toss, grate some Parmesan Reggiano on top... - gravyface

Sometimes I love this site. Maybe I'll give this a try. I've never bothered making sauce from scratch. |

They finished tied for 6th (Washington) in points with 105. They would’ve finished 7th (tied with Pittsburgh and Minnesota) with 98 points without the extra 7 from the shootout. |

Well, weak except for the two teams ahead of us. - Thecakeisalie
Obviously the division wasn't devoid of talent but the teams below us won't suck forever either. |

Progress isn't linear. They could be 105 point team one year and that could change drastically the next year, especially with unreliable defense. One injury to Andersen and they could miss the playoffs by 10 points. Bottom line is the Leafs definitely need help on D. |

I heard from a friend who knows from a barber that Tavares won't sign in Toronto. Does that hold up in court?
I'm not saying anybody is lying or making anything up but I haven't heard Bob McKenzie (just for example) say this either. So basically what I'm saying is hearsay is fun but we haven't actually seen very much evidence yet. |
