Do we know the invites to Development camp this week? When is it exactly? Right after the draft is all I know.

26 points in 61 games.

In NY he played 17 minutes a game and had 58 points two seasons in a row. Last season 14 minutes 47 points. Maybe he gets 19 minutes a game here on the first line with Petey and scores 70?

That can’t be right. I heard on HB that he is a standard 4th line scrub. Basically a winger version of Pouliot

I’m cool with Barrie as long as it’s not a ridiculous contract

Benn should be an affordable stopgap and allow Vantel to sleep easy

I’m praying that some other desperate team outbids Jim for Myers but it does seem inevitable

I think Subban's deal is a bit of a bargain for the next 3 seasons. The guy is still a top defender in this league and his impact on our team would be far, far greater than Miller's.

Edler-Subban
QH-Tanev

Pretty damn solid top 4.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion even when your wrong. NJ will be trying to dump the contract in a year. My guess

Well I hate Hutton so...I’d rather do myers at $6 than help the leafs. I would be surprised if he gets more than $6MM. Could be a scary contract

Dide we fire Jimbo yet?

Aparently tje Canucks were one the teams leafs talked to aboit Marleau but benning said no. That is so so dumb. Could have miller and a 1st still bonhead

- Jkuzzi


Aah maybe FA doesn’t want to pay the buyout? It’s his money not JB’s. Marleau wouldn’t waive unless bought out.

PK at 9m is a big cap hit we probably couldn’t fit in & tie up the cap for 3yrs.

JT can fit under the cap leaving room for now & later. His play will decide if JB & the pro scouts stick around.

I like Miller & a great add for a team like ours. Yes the price hurts but idk what other top 6 out there was to be had nor other teams offers for him.

Lots is riding on this years edition to step it up & prove JB right. Only the D can sink us for a PO run imo. Hughes for a full year will impact our chances in a big way but he needs support from everyone.

Leafs have traded three 1st and two or three 2nds since the 2016 off season when Matthews was drafted. They also backed the Brinks truck up to Marleau and JT and needed to trade a 1st to get rid of one of those contracts after 2 seasons.

All those arguments with Lefty over the Shannaplan. All his envy.

I’m still not ruling out Panarin, Jim will make a sizeable offer

There is no way you can take Marleau or any other cap dump when your owner is saying make the playoffs.
