Very big barn, concrete floor and metal roof. He has electricity there, a microwave, a fridge, and a barbecue. The two fire things are 4" diameter. We get some big fires, but nowhere near the joists.

he made a 100" screen out of framed drywall. so he can broadcast streams and such. It makes for a great place to have a get together, Eventually the fire heats up the concrete and you get pretty cozy even when the wind is blowing.

Donaldson trade.

According to the team, everyone’s suffering from upper body injuries so who knows.

But in all seriousness, I hear it’s not good. Some parents of players are tweeting about it. They are scared for their sons and their families. Media types are saying that the players don’t really want to come back once/if they recover. The mental strain has been too much.

I agree with you. Figure out the math and shut it down.

Just bring up Utica and tank for Dylan Guenther/Matthew Beniers/Owen Power/Brandt Clarke/William Eklund/Kent Johnson

Its crazy if that team were the Leafs they would of been blown up years ago...Leaf fans suck sometimes but at least we aren't satisfied with scraping by being a 20th place team every year.

Yeah that's the thing, how can these guys be expected to come back if this drags on, and it already is dragging on. Their physical and mental health has been seriously impacted and their playoff hopes were fairly dead and no fans in the stands anyway. I don't see a good reason to push them back into playing.

They still have a decade to catch up with the Leafs
- annoyed

Decades.

Dermott could go the other way in a trade but, if you must keep Dermott as your #7, you can always unload another roster player like Soup and sweeten the deal to get Dallas to retain (if you want to create further cap space for another trade).

Oleksiak has been playing over 19 mins a night this season and can be deployed on the left or right side and can kill penalties. He'd be a pretty significant upgrade on Dermott.

Frankly, I'd like to see Taylor Hall and a backup goalie who is better than Hutch (assuming Freddie is done) but if we can't land a significant Top 6 upgrade, but I'd be more than happy to have our D corps get bigger and better. You could make an argument that upgrading the D is actually more important as the Leafs scoring is just fine (and the PP will get better).
- mjones242

You can absolutely make the $ and the roster spot moves to make it happen and he is absolutely better than Dermott. But, you’re using up trade ammo for what is essentially a third pairing spot that will get limited minutes after Muzzin/Holl and Brodie/Rielly. That’s my problem. I think you can get better value up front right now.

I said earlier, get Olesiak in the off-season when you can do a full restructuring of the D

There was another tweet from a Vancouver journalist saying that it's not as bad as reports are making it out to be - nobody has gone to the hospital, only one player has had to get an IV for fluids.

I'll see if I can find it.

She's pretty much okay now, but it took a long time.

I'm confused......(not looking to debate if this is right or wrong) but how is this pharmacist doing this / allowed to do this? I guess once he has the vaccines he can decide what rules he chooses to follow and which he does not? I mean who is going to stop him really?

What a total poopshow this entire roll out has been, I mean what's to stop a pharmacist who is greed driven from just giving the vaccine out to those who are willing to grease his or her palm? Or to their friends and family first (regardless of if they are high/low risk or what ages)?

Ugh.

They were talking about the Leafs' goaltending situation on Leafs Lunch, and about how you aren't going to be able to just throw Freddie back in, once he is allowed on the ice again. It's going to take a week or so to get him back in game shape (mentally and physically).

My random thoughts:

- That's not good news. October Freddie always sucks. Always.

- I hope they consider sending him down to the Marlies on a conditioning stint.

- Unless Freddie is ruled out for the rest of the year and the playoffs, I just don't see how getting another goalie is a smart move. You have a 1-2 punch of Andersen and Campbell. Who are you going to get who will be better than those guys? Hutchinson at this point is an adequate #3 goalie.

- How would a #4 goalie work? You'd have to put him or Hutchinson on waivers, and risk losing them. I really think someone would claim Hutchinson.

I think Utica have played 9 games this season so not really in prime condition to complete. Even with calling Utica prospects up I don’t think it would be enough for a full NHL roster.

But I’m in love with your tank suggestion. the Canuck management group ain’t good for much but they have drafted well so high draft picks are the only silver lining to this lost season.

Thanks wedge, went to the store to pick up some stuff from home depot before lockdown because you can't use gift cards online which is stupid

I thought you were talking about soccer for a second

Every single season I expect more from Winnipeg and every single season they disappoint. So I refuse to give them any credit this season.

I just don’t see any Canadian team matching up to the leaf’s offensive depth. But I agree, it’s all about goaltending. It should be interesting.

1: Edmonton
2: Winnipeg
3: Leafs

Now if you ask me the matchup I WANT to see.

Hutchinson cleared waivers on January 10.

All subsequent roster time with the Maple Leafs has been the result of an Emergency Recall insofar as I can tell, he has not used _any_ of his 30 day waiver excpeption period - meaning he still does not have to clear waivers. Here is a temporary modification to this year's CBA that I found interesting:

Additionally, the following language will be appended to Section 50.10(e) for the 2020-21 season only:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, applicable to the 2020-21 Season only, if a Club has less than two (2) goaltenders on its Active Roster who are able to play in the Club’s next Regular Season game due to injury or illness, it will be permitted to Recall a goaltender from its “Taxi Squad” immediately without the Club playing the previous game with fewer than two (2) goaltenders.

Additionally, should both goaltenders on a Club’s Playing Roster become incapacitated during an NHL Game, the Club will similarly be permitted to immediately Recall a goaltender from its “Taxi Squad” for purposes of playing in such NHL Game.

For clarity, any Goaltender Recalled per Section 50.10 (e) will, on the date of such Recall (even if such Recall occurs after 5:00 p.m. ET) and during the period of such Recall, be included in the Players’ Share but will not count against the Club’s Averaged Club Salary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, applicable to the 2020-21 Season only, if a Club has less than twelve (12) Forwards or six (6) Defenseman on its Active Roster who are able to play in its next Regular Season game specifically by virtue of Players
being designated Non-Roster on account of being unavailable due to COVID-19 Protocol, such Club will be permitted to Recall a Player(s) from the “Taxi Squad” at the deficient position(s) without the Club having to play the previous game
with fewer than 18 Skaters.


So. Not only is Hutch still waiver exempt, he did not count against the cap while he was up here.

There was another tweet from a Vancouver journalist saying that it's not as bad as reports are making it out to be - nobody has gone to the hospital, only one player has had to get an IV for fluids.

I'll see if I can find it.

I sure hope it's right.
- Atomic Wedgie

It’s never as bad as some media types make it out to be. Hell, some players get IV treatment between periods. But it’s the long term implications for our youngest players. We finally have a young skilled core and now development is hampered by covid infection. Lungs, heart, kidneys can all be damaged. The Canucks have a tough enough time dealing with hockey related injuries let alone long term complications from covid. Argh.

Anyway, back to leaf talk.

I think the leafs goaltending situation is abysmal considering they are contenders. Positional depth must be addressed before trade deadline.

Been told reported number of positive COVID-19 cases with Canucks isn't entirely accurate. The number is under 20. There haven't been severe symptoms. Most experiencing mild headaches, fever, fatigue and lethargy. No reports of vomiting, few with worse symptoms better. #Canucks
