Ya but they were all old like your kids, only Horvat was young.

Yikes, "conservative" estimates on D Perron 6 mil per year...the guy has the durability of Tanev !
- Tigersmyle

in a world where Roussel gets 3M per, I can see Perron getting double that

His best work was hiring ppl to get the Leafs outta their own way. That alone was needed & he gets an A for that.

Yes...

EP is going to make him his b1tch

EP is a slightly less sexy version of Willie Nylander with more skill.

the most important forward, the starting goalie and the 2 best dmen on the current roster were all inherited though


plus he inherited Garrison/Kesler/Bieksa/Hansen/Burrows who all had good trade value


The only contracts he was truly "stuck" with were Higgins, Hamhuis and the Sedins

EP is ugly . No posters of him on Nuckers ceilings

I don't know what a Moonie is but I by Lotto Max tickets, does that count as betting?

No, that's just throwing it out the window.

Wasted the second for Garrison.

Wasted the first and third for Kesler.

Wasted the second for Bieksa.

Bought out Higgins.

Let Hamhuis walk for nothing.

Let the Sedins walk for nothing (totally understandable)



Hansen and Burrows trades were

Brock and Willie may be more than you can handle

dubas is badass

would love to get nylander for tanev

only one UFA please if you must. these prices are nuts.

Wait, you took Benning's quote about what they are focussing on at the draft and flipped it to free agency. Did he not just Draft the best skater in the draft followed by good skating Woo and super fast Madden and that super fast Russian kid? All young???? This is borderline lies is what it is.

Look how far you are going to cry about so little....

I have zero issue with their draft. Speed and skill is what i always wanted. Benning and linden have both openly said "we want to get younger and faster". I didnt make that up. If reports from reputable sources online are true, and benning has had meeting with the likes of beagle, reaves, maroon, rousel, and rieder, youre saying i am out of line for questioning his reasoning? Buddy... and youre making a mountain out of a mole hill. Like nucker and the rest have said, the players are meh, its the term and aav for a 33 year old 4th line center is the issue we have with it

Its unbelievable that difference of opinion is taken so seriously on this site.
I personally have said i dont want to acquire any ufas unless its a pure replacement for a sutter or gudbranson trade..i want to weaponize that (current) 29 million cap space and acquire picks and prospects for cap dumps.

Sometimes, actually most times, it's hard to articulate emotion or feelings on a keyboard. You don't actually know if someone is joking or they're serious or if their comments are a bit tongue-in-cheek.

That applies to Booner as well, half the time he's just not as serious as he comes across I'm guessing. He's an intelligent guy, just a little rough around the edges

I'm not even a big Markstrom fan, but how does he not even make the "just missed" list? He put up OK numbers behind a tire fire team.

Lol he literally replied to my one post, the same one, 3x, with 3 different posts from different, yet exactly the same angles lol
