Yeah, but Leafs!

Lou just gave a 28 year-old with a career high of 53 points 6 million per for 6 years.

I didn’t say that gramps, the Alzheimer’s is eating your brain.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Okay Zezel. Did he say it or not?

They seriously gotta start calling dives in international hockey.

Pasta had 70, not 80. 80 was the sesason after he signed his deal. Nylander has slightly better PPG and 2 60 point seasons.

Nylander is wortg it. Relaxe and enjoy his career year next season. He just had a historically good WC.

He said something about that, hopefully it was trolling because it's clearly insane.

Yeah, Nylander's contract will be fine, Leaf fans are reactive about it in my opinion.

You saying Tavares was coming to Toronto regardless of the GM is just what some guy said too, mang.
- Zezel

Well there was always a good chance.

I just don’t think we should be crediting Dubas who was GM for like, a month before he signed. We’ve been talking about JT being a Leaf the day after Stamkos signed with Tampa.

I said a return for Matthews would be roughly Tkachuk and Chabot..

Oh the humanity!

- Arctic_AARDVARK

Why? Considering JT could not speak to any team prior to Dubas being hired. It doesn't matter.

And STamkos didn't sign, so any "Talk" amongst fans is worthless.

The media always does when a local is hitting UFA status. Tavares was the first one to actually sign here though, so the odds of him doing so were very slim.

I'm convinced at the very least he's a very good spokesman. I don't know what these guys do.

Muzzin really is replacing him.
- RogerRoeper

He is, very true.

But the Leafs need to upgrade that RS regardless.

The LS remains very good with Muzzin.

For the record, being a GM would be extremely difficult and Dubas is doing a better job than I or any of us could have.

That being said, it doesn’t mean he’s void of criticism. I think we’ll see a hardened Dubas because of the flak he took over the Nylander signing, and not adding more pieces for a playoff run.

So what should Nylander be making per year?

#TRIGGERED

I picture you as this skinny kid with bad acne for some reason. I always have.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

That’s fantastic.

Now back to being mature, I called you out for what you said.

Stop pretending you know these things. The average fan does not know why JT wants to play here.

The average mortal human being doesn’t know that the Raptors season is going to crash down in 4 games and one off-season day.

That valuation is dubious to me.

It was 50/50.

His heart was in NY, but he wanted to win and saw a better opportunity in TOR. Dubas didn’t bring in a world class practice facility, or any of the other perks of playing for the Leafs. That’s what attracted him, at least more some than a video Dubas made.

- Arctic_AARDVARK

Huh?

JT couldn’t talk to anyone else until like 5 days before.

You are saying we can’t give credit to the GM who signed a superstar centre....and why? Because apparently it’s blatantly obvious that JT would of signed with Toronto no matter what.

Lou failed to get Stamkos and failed to get Tavares to stay. And that Nelson deal, yeesh.

I too drink this one out of my memories friend.


- AdamFrench

Yeah I try my hardest to forget about that. Luckily we got rid of that contract as quick as we did. I still don't know how management were able to pull that off.
