As of 9:23 Tavares hasn't signed his next contract extension. Why is that?

First, it's Gardiner. Not Gardner.
Second, he's not going to even be a factor in matching any offer sheet. You keep Matthews, let Gardiner walk, and replace with Liljegren.
Third, Nylander isn't being traded. Dubas is on public record about that. Trading him would make it difficult to convince players, agents, GM's that Dubas can be a man of his word.
Finally, Matthews isn't going to a dying franchise. Whatever extra money he can make can be easily made up in lucrative sponsorships in Toronto.
So nothing to see here...

Like all those owners saying the coach is totally safe, not going anywhere, only to fire him 2 weeks later?

I'm not saying he's going to be traded, but saying "The GM said so" as your evidence is pretty shaky. They need to keep the players happy, and saying "yeah, we're looking to offload that wiener." is probably bad for morale.

Did you know that John Tavares is now doing Rogers commercials?

That's Rogers Communications, a multi-billion dollar company that just happens to own the Leafs.

Weird, eh?

But tell me again how the Coyotes can afford Matthews.

Dubas is playing chess while you are playing show and tell but don't tell with your middle school janitor.

Buffalo girls won't you come out tonight...

Nylander took Dubas to the cleaners.

He just paid 6.5 for a 4m dollar winger.

Why is it that a large percentage of Buffalo fans obsess over every move the Leafs make, while 0.00% of Leafs fans give two poops about what the Sabres do?

Its gonna be funny to watch all these teams struggle to lock up their young talent because they can't afford to give the front loaded bonus laden lockout proof contracts that the leafs give out like candy. Arizona gonna be able to stroke a check for 12 million to Matthew's on July 1st and then another one the next year even though there was no season.

No way dahlin resigns there. He'll jump ship the first offer sheet he gets. The leafs should offer him one of those front loaded contracts that they'll have to match just to mess with them and screw up their cap.

1. Because they don't act like they're entitled to the cup
2. Because they HAVE won the cup
3. They HAVE made it out of the first round
4. They have a cup worthy defense

Leafs have enough cap problems already.

Our owner is filthy rich, we'd just match.

Of course they will and itll still mess up their cap for the next 8 years. No cups for the Sabres through the prime years of eichel and dahlin. Sucks to be a Sabres fan. If Arizona signed Matthew's leafs could use the cap savings and first round picks to improve the D and still be a cup contender.

And yet....not one playoff win....and only 4 point lead on those poopty Sabres.

Why are you talking like the Leafs have won cups?

Cup contenders?? They go out in the first round EVERY year. They're as much a " cup contender " as Minnesota's and Columbus.

Cup contender??? With THAT defense?? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜Š

It's true.

As a Leafs fan, I worry about Pegula's golden touch.

So why ars you so butt-hurt and obsessed?

If you have nothing to worry about, why are you so worried?

So very, very worried.
