To be fair this entire site is based on ignorant whining about insignificant problems.

It’s crazy that people don’t see this.

Leafs had lots of cap space in 2015/2016....they also finished dead last.

Leafs don’t have a bad contract on their team, everyone is an asset. They can always trade those assets.

Nylander...way overpaid as a RFA.

Muzzin...that contract is completely ridiculous...but it’s the price you pay when you have 0 depth at D.

Let’s hope you use your 1st this year for a defenseman...oh...wait a minute...i forgot that you had to give up your first to get rid of one of your “not a bad contracts”.

Oh well...guess you can wait another 53 years...

MLS 'restart' in Disney World shows the need for NHL teams to start isolating their players and staff at start of training camp 10th of July.
(Dallas FC has 10 positive cases and Nashville 8 -- all seemingly caused by infections at home states).
I really wonder whether NHL players will accept running covid19 risk because of some colleagues (including team mates) think it is necessary to party in clubs in weeks before and during training camps - it could actually lead to some big clashes between team mates.. (And on-the-ice fights if we actually get to Aug 1st with some hockey)

You forgetting the bubble & testing?
When & how are they clubbing during training camp? Some holes in your narrative.

Giroux is too old and will decline hard this year

JVR and Hayes are way overpaid

Couturier is a one hit wonder, he’ll go back to normal form from a few years ago

Vorachek is on the decline


This is fun, I see why you guys do it all the time

I don't think players will go into bubble before actually going to Toronto and Edmonton?
(they should)
that's the whole issue --> players should be isolated/quarantined or how you want to call it at least 1 week before going to Toronto and Edmonton 'bubbles'.

Couturier is one of my favorite players in NHL - this is a guy you want to have in playoffs on your team; a modern age Danny Briere (as for playing his best games when it really matters).

Armchair-GM attempt on how to win a Stanley Cup - under a 81.5mln capspace maximum (19-20 caphits); able to pick any player in NHL.


Pettersson - McDavid - Marner
Couturier - Barkov - Stone
Hyman - Barzal - A. Svechnikov
Nichushkin - Hintz - J. Anderson

Hedman - Seth Jones
Heiskanen - Provorov
Girard - Makar

Gibson
Hart

239k capspace left

Glad to see you're finally admitting Hintz is a fourth line plug. 😁

Nylander...maybe slightly overpaid as a RFA ....id say 6.5'ish where he should land. But he was on pace for 37 goals this season. hard to cry about that

Muzzin is also slightly overpaid..id be more happy at 5mil. but you cant find decent top 4 D just lying around.

Black Hawks not going to change their name because “it honours a Native American leader”.

In other news, naming rights to the team’s arena has been sold to Aunt Jemima Syrup.

I know this has been posted already at some point, but a proposed Blackhawks logo re-design by a Native artist was pretty rad:



As per Chicago's ownership (are we still allowed to use that phrase?), I think that was a pretty rational and reasonable explanation per their continued use of the Blawkhawks name and symbology... though I do think the re-design would be a fantastic way of showing reverence to the original name and also promoting Native influence.

Your ignorant whining is getting really annoying.
I suggest you start focusing on some real world problems instead.
(Another casino will be gifted to the so called offended, and all will be fine )

Lighten up Francis. And please stop pretending you have a monopoly on defining real world problems. Nobody wants to start the morning with a discussion of racism, so I’ll just leave it there.

I agree with all of that.
The new logo is great, and arguably nicer than the current one.
(I guess unless that artist gives up all rights on that new design for free, it's not going to happen though..).

Quite a few NHL teams could use a complete redesign of logo btw.

I think it would be prudent of them to get buy-in from sac and fox nation instead of making the decision unilaterally, but if they can move forward positively then all the power to them. Caricatures should probably be replaced tho, from the feedback I've seen

With Max flipping out, I’ll just leave it with national indian organizations who have called for the end of all Indian mascots and team names. I’m going to go with their sentiments over the Wirtz on this one.

(It’s ironic that he uses the term cancel culture given the history of natives in North America.)

It’s not me tagging it that way, it’s native organizations. Dismissing it out of hand before trying to understand the issue isn’t adult but it is typical. Learn first, talk later.
