This comment section is getting sad. Leafs haven’t won a cup in a billion years, Sabres have never won, and the Isles haven’t won in 36 years. I don’t think any of us should really be bragging
- stonehead

Geez, please don't say that. I remember those great Leaf teams from the 1960s.

Frank Mahovlich, Eddie Shack, Al Arbour (wonder why I remember him? ), and many others.

Isles should offer sheet Marner or Point. Go big or go home.

If the rumors are true that Marner only wants a three year deal then i don’t love the risk/reward in that. I do however agree that now is the time to sheet a player.

Exactly, rick. Why pay a guy $11 million/year and give up 4 first round picks for only 3 years' benefits? Makes no sense.... And then there are the rumors that the Islanders were willing to pay $12.5 million/year.... Marner's demand for a 3-year deal effectively eliminates him from offer sheet consideration.

Now Laine could be a different story....

Maybe its laine, hes amazing at shooting and that's what the isles need. Barzal is such a possession monster and playmaker that laine literally needs to be hull to barzals Oates. we would get a huge boost too with laine in the ovie slot not bailey. Jets are tight to the cap and laine wants out so he would be more apt to sign as well

How am I a typical Leaf fan? I acknowledge that my team has been pathetic. You are clinging to not winning but being close years ago. Both our teams have sucked for decades and never won anything.

Rather surprised the Isles never made a pitch for JT. Would have solved a lot of problems one would think.

I would LOVE to have Laine on this team. Marner is a great set up guy, and its not a coincidence that Tavares had the most goals of his career playing with him. However, I think Laine would be a better fit for the isles.

Not to get involved here, but the media in Toronto had the leafs hoisting the cup on July 2nd. That's what stirs the pot. But, real Leaf fans, knew the D was weak, and there were maybe 2 players with any playoff experience.

The media is definitely ridiculous. We are so desperate for a win that we cling to a free agent signing like it’s a trophy. Imagine (you will need a really good imagination ) how bad it will be if the Leafs are ever successful in the playoffs!
