Didnt Panarin turn it down?

Figured Zibenajad would go instead but maybe he already made plans for the time off or something.

The all-star game is a joke anyways they should just stop it all together.

I don't understand why we still need the all-star game.

I get that it is about entertaining the league's biggest clients, but why not just do that at outdoor games?

Problem solved.

Some of us have said Nylander will be good for a long time now.
- PatC80

Yeah but...what could he fetch, though?

Makes sense.

Leafs/Wings was voted the NHL event of the decade wasn't it? Do more like that. And it means something.

For sure... Are you still mad at me? Or can we make out again?

TwoDOne Petie don't stay mad at nobody. Wait...does he even get mad?

Yeah, I never heard of that or did that constantly.

I thought you were supposed to make your hand numb before you started? All this time I've been doing it wrong.

NHL's most underrated player for each team. No...it isn't Marincin.

*Toronto Maple Leafs: William Nylander
Yes, he is underrated. Very underrated, actually. Ever since his restricted free agent contract saga and the way he struggled after reporting to the team a year ago, Nylander has been a lightning rod for criticism in Toronto with fans and media always trying to trade him. But man, this guy is a heck of a player and is in the middle of a career year that puts him on a pace for close to 40 goals. He is just now entering his peak years in the NHL and is looking like he might actually be a bargain against the salary cap. Trading him would be madness. Completely nonsensical. He is key piece of this team.*

On pace for over 70 points too. Not bad for a cap hit just under 7m. Good thing Dubas didn't cave and got him on a good deal for us.

Wait...I thought Dubas did cave. I'm so confused.

Woops. My bad.

It's easy to get confused. Clearly, Willy breaking down and calling Dubas at the 11th hour and taking the deal, which ended up being a bargain for the Leafs considering Willy's play this year (which will probably only improve over the next few years), Dubas must have caved. My mistake.

So many different takes from non Leaf fans. I do wish Willy brought it every night, though. He still takes some nights/shifts off. But...whaddya gonna do.

Wait...I thought Dubas did cave. I'm so confused.
- Woderwick

Lmao.
I still don't see how Dubas caved on the Nylander deal. $6.9 per for 6 years. That's one of Dubas' better deals, IMO

Looks to be.

- Woderwick

Ridiculous. Willy asked for 8.5 then dropped it to 6.9 and called Dubas with an hour left. How did he cave?

In no other market would 6.9 be high for that production.

Yeah but...what could he fetch, though?
- Woderwick

Apparently some #4 D.

Men are intimidated by Willy's amazing hair and good looks.

Yeah, he has off nights. He's certainly not perfect, but then, no player is. Even Crosby and McDavid have off nights.

People freaked out so much, but Willy is proving right all of his defenders this year.

It was odd people basically were saying he was finished at 22.

Chayka signs Clayton Keller for 7.15 per-Great deal!
Dubas gets beaten to a pulp over 6.9 for Willy.

I was always a believer in Willy!
