Who's been jamming trade proposals into the toaster again?

wouldn't matter at the moment... the toasters in Texas run on electricity - even thought the average cowboy hat toting donkey would tell you his runs on gas

I as well. Is the Leafs on his no trade list? ah who care as long as he out from that tire fire.
- dmnted

I don't see why they would...contending team and they are a 3 hour car ride from where he plays right now.

The question is if he is a fit on the 3rd line.

I fear Rielly wants to go home to Vancouver.

That's what will scare me until he re-signs with Toronto.

- Atomic Wedgie



With what money will Vancouver sign him with? I love how cap concerns only exist with the Leafs.

Vancouver is such a cap disaster right now.

We need to make sure that Tessa Virtue signs long term in Toronto so Rielly will stay.

seriously, all the MLSE has to do is hire her as a skating coach

I agree. I just don't get Babs silly load management nonsense when talking about elite talent.

90% of NHl teams have no cap but it's always only Leafs' problem.

This is how it works, everyone will say Hyman is leaving and no cap and he'll sign an extension. Seriously, this happens with EVERY damn player.
The only players that leave are guys Leafs say goodbye to (Like JVR he was told to look elsewhere)

- RogerRoeper

There won't be an extension, he'll sign after the expansion draft.

I always laugh at how Dreger in particular never brings this up about teams other than the Leafs... and with how great Pettersen is ... its going to be a fun time for olde Jimmy Benning ...

yes, he has a few FreeAgents upcoming, but he has to replace those players if they aren't resigned.

Yup. Leafs bring him attention so he keeps with that narrative about them. Same thing why "Offersheets" only get discussed about Leaf players by Dreger.

The media has driven this silly "Leafs cap hell they are doomed" narrative which was never true.

it should be pretty obvious that letting Hyman and Andersen go to "FreeAgency" is the correct course of action.... no need to protect those guys.

Yes nobody, please read

Nobody is saying he will sign

He will have to take less if he wants to sign

Doesn't mean he will sign

He is not signing with the Maple Leafs 100% and taking less

- Santo_44

I bet he'll sign here for less than he could get elsewhere.

I think she would make a great spokesperson for Rogers or Bell - doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff in Toronto - stuff that the public doesn't ever really see, but that she makes millions of dollars in salary for.

I'll agree with you on one thing. Babs should've won more Cups in Detroit given the star talent and depth he had. Well at least 1 more. ☚ī¸

I went to check them out on CapFriendly, but I don't trust that site anymore.

There's an obvious error.

For some reason, the site has Tyler Myers making $6M for three more years after this year.

Do they not proofread this poop before they upload it?

I mean, come on...

And that's not even close to their worse deal.

Get this, they are paying 11.5 million for their 4th line LOL (Eriksson, Beagle, Virtanen). Dubas could get a better 4th line for 8-8.5 less.

Brandon Sutter makes 4.4. Beagle makes 3 million. Roberto Luongo makes over 3 million on their cap (Seriously) Eriksson 6 million. Tyler Myers 6 million per (Higher cap hit than any Leafs D and would not crack the top 4 here)

What a disaster. Worst of all, no elite talent is signed. Even Boeser's deal ends after next season. they could only afford 3 years for him.

I had Canuck fans point out 4 players 40 million for the Leafs and laugh.

It appears unless a players' deal starts with a 10 infront of it no one pays attention or thinks it's bad.
