Ray Boutique won the cup 7 years after his last Norris.... FACT
- jribout

And he didn’t win the Norris that year? Weird....it’s almost like the best TEAMS win the cup and not just Norris winners....weird.....

Love that show... you know what that means
- Drapz

That's cool. Still not the best defensively. Nylander is 100% expendable.
- Unholy_Goalie

That's not an exclusive group.

Maybe Ek should allow people to block posts from specific users with a sub
- Drapz

That means he would have to change the code on the site... Which hasn't happened since 2014.

Who cares.
Repeating the same thing here every night wont change anything.
So reality check.
We're better with nylander.
If he doesnt want to sign, he may sit or be traded.
If hes traded, it most likely wont be for a #1 d. It will be for someone under 6 million per season.

Marleau

Gets his signing bonus, waives his NTC, traded to Arizona July 2nd, 2019. Retires.
- Unholy_Goalie

so Arizona absorb his cap hit and potentially penalized by the league for cap circumvention

but at what cost? to the Leafs?

I thought for sure you were quoting big mouth on netflix

Goal

Papa Marleau!!!

Let's retire that old (frank)er...

No cost.
Its not happening

not after 6 beers.

- dmnted

They've already done it, multiple times with no penalty.

WTF happened to your mind? Don't get paid enough to fix that?

We could start a "Go fund me" page, you'd likely make out pretty well.

he probably could use some puthy in his life...

And those best teams are many times the best team because they have the aid of a Norris winner.

- Fakepartofme

I know that.
He's Leafs for the foreseeable future or at least till next season.

Her buttons seem broken

Offensively, perhaps. Defensively, not really.

And considering how weak the rest of the Leafs D is, I'd be hesitant to expect Rielly to be good enough to do everything by himself with nobody beside him to share the load.
- Unholy_Goalie

Our Defense isn't as bad as some like to say it is. Shut up about that already.. they have played fine so far.

You seriously like to complain about everything.

And those best teams are many times the best team because they have the aid of a Norris winner.
- Unholy_Goalie

I wonder how many times players have won the cup and the Norris in the same year?

you sure pay attention to details

His deal was made so if he was physically unable to continue playing in the final year of the contract it was easy for him to walk. Nobody is going to ask him to walk if he is able to continue playing - he is an essential part of the team.

Keith in 2010, Lidstrom in 2008, Lidstrom in 2002 off the top of my head.

- TrashPanda

Not really, not at that price, not with more important, younger, better players needing to be signed.

So if Rielly wins the Norris this season, which at the moment, he is the leading guy, do we stop this bullpoop narrative?

Lets (frank)ing hope so.

How much is he owed after the signing bonus again?
