Is David Pagnotta even remotely credible?

I'm not familiar with him.

(I'm not being sarcastic here - I don't know him).

He'd definitely be offered some type of scouting or player development role, you'd have to think. Have a contract already in place under lock and key. Need two keys to open. John has one. Kyle has the other.

Give him the position that Wendel Clark currently holds; Team Ambassador.. Clark will retire in a few years.. Once he does, give the job to Tavares

They currently have 3 guys listed as Community Representatives:

Sittler

Armstrong

Wendel

And I've seen Darcy Tucker at enough Leafs poop to lead me to believe he has some sort of role, too.

It's not like they need Wendel to retire before bringing another player on board.

The New York Rangers have been in talks with forward Leo Komarov on a multi-year deal. Sounds like it's getting to that point. Wouldn't be surprised to see deal finalized on Sunday

He better give 120% night in and night out. Those tax payments don't earn themselves.

You're just pullin poop outta your ass and you obviously have no clue what you're tallking about so why don't you just do everyone a favor and STFU about money?
- LeftCoaster


Just give it a (frank)ing rest. You’re wrong about the taxes, the Leafs not having a chance, and about hometown discounts.
- RafiDRW




Amazing how fans of other teams are a voice of reason in favour of the Leafs against a "Leafs fan".

Oh, myself and every other Wings fan knows this. Problem is, higher ups in the organization might not. Rumors of resigning Vanek, Green and (frank)ing Filpulla abound.
- RafiDRW


I really hope the Wings do sign Filpulla because that means the Leafs won't.

80+ points, 30+ goals, are nice and fancy, but can he be a real gud pro?

Stats are fine but what about his caresi, or his give a poop meter after signing here? How much will taxes weigh on his mind?

I hope he can be a gud pro.

Komarov leaving potentially means Martin staying as 13th FW.
Wouldn't count too much on Johnsson being a superb fit on 4th line, and honestly wouldn't be great for Leafs to have him on 2nd/3rd line.

Nylander - Hyman - Marner - Marleau - Kapanen and Brown are all in front of Johnsson in the depth chart. And that is if Leafs are not adding another top 6 winger to replace JVR.

So either Nylander moves to #2C.
Or one of these wingers gets traded.

If not, Johnsson will have difficulties getting sufficient playing minutes.

Probably best to trade him.

Maple Leafs have made some staff changes. Jacques Lemaire, Jacques Caron, Nikolai Ladygin, Evgeny Namestnikov and Tommy Albelin have all left the organization.



How are we going to replace these guys?

On the Left side, we have Marleau and Hyman.. Johnsson will be our 3rd line LW. Why trade him?

Marner, Nylander, Brown, Kapanen are all RW.

So why did they draft all these overage Russians only to fire all the Russian scouts?
