Their cap is a complete mess given they are rebuilding and only signed Boeser for 3 years and Petterson is up.

But Leafs are in cap hell with everyone signed...

People like to nitpick Dubas's decisions.

Meanwhile Lou signed Z and Marleau to horrible deals.

He didn't give Marner performance bonuses even though players of his caliber always get them...like Babcock he refused to change and adapt his ways for the better of the team.

While Dubas added Muzzin for two years at the TDL Lou traded two 2nd round picks for 4th line players that played 20 games each for the team.

He traded a PPG player in Kessel and somehow had to retain 1.2 million for 6 years.

I am not saying Lou is a bad GM, he is a good GM. But Dubas has done a pretty excellent job here. Nitpicking a few mistakes is silly.

Really? Excellent? lolololol This team was handed highly talented players through the draft. Now look at the on ice product? Is the measure of a good GM now getting rid of a bad contract or 2? It doesn't matter if you have a bad contract. It matters if you win. Dubas has created a 1-dimensional team and also handed over huge amounts of cash to 4 players and now we cant afford a backup. And just wait until we need to find some defence after Barrie and possibly Muzzin leave... good luck with that...

It was the biggest freaking joke ever. An entire year about offersheets coming to Leaf players. What an epic waste of time.

Weird. All these years of Leafs fans saying the only way the Leafs will get better is if they build through the draft.

They finally do that and fans shame them for it.

Never change.

FYI, teams have won cups spending over 50% of the cap on 4 players. Ironically the GM was Brian Burke, who now goes on tv ranting about spending less than 50% of the cap on 4 players.

SJW's are ruining everything. From Star Wars to the NHL. They have shoved themselves into everything. Nothing is fun anymore and we are constantly reminded that we are bad. We don't know what we did, but we must have done something...

Leafs Lunch and HNIC is now talking more about equality then Hockey... I am sure this Saturday Ron will make another apology on behalf of Canadians...

- Hockey_Reverend

I know I'm going to regret this, but here goes:

How are they ruining Star Wars?

Which, by the way, is incredible crap - with or without the involvement of SJWs.

The hype wasn't about a team sending him 2 bad ones he'd never sign.

If an offer sheet falls in the forest, and the player couldn't be bothered to even look at it, does it make an offer?

The media clearly said it would happen for an entire year. They milked it ridiculously.

What no one mentions is the 6 nationwide commercials Marner has because he is a Leaf that disappear if he plays in Columbus.

Anaheim Ducks. That's why I mentioned Burke. They spent more on 4 players than Leafs are this year (% of cap).

But Brian Burke will tell you the Leafs can't win like that.

Are they delusional for thinking they can win?
Or are they delusional because you think they can win with this core and others dont?

Need to clarify.

I think people were saying an offer sheet wouldn't happen by both parties agreeing.

While there has barely been any the past decade I am sure there have been offers being sent.
