They don't really have anything to gain from Kucherov going on LTIR at the moment.

I guess it opens up room for them to make deadline acquisitions.

2 major injuries and missing out on 2 full seasons at 28? The dude is going to start declining a bit.

There's probably 3-4 thousand tickets available for tonight's game.

If you want to go, I suggest going on the Ticketmaster site at around 5 pm - people are going to be unloading.

You'll get tix for under face value.

He got injured.... have they already said LTIR?


If so, its getting ridiculous. Eventually youll see Mikita Lucherov tearing up the KHL until round 1 of the NHL playoffs starts.

They'll use that LTIR capspace to get Eichel, then let him get his surgery, and he'll be back along with Kucherov for game 1 of the playoffs. If you're going to go all-in on LTIR, give 'er. You can't make a "$26M over the cap" t-shirt if you don't invest.

It's so wild that this is happening in Toronto - getting tickets to a game at face value was like a sighting of big foot riding a unicorn and now here we are in what most other cities experience as it relates to getting tickets. We have a friend with seasons whom we usually guy 6 or 8 games worth from but passed this year - thank god.

Unrelated but didn't see it posted anywhere here - how can you not just love Soupy?

They can trade for Eichel then Tampa can take turns (frank)ing the NHL by alternating them on LTIR.

I think as a fan base we overthink the players salaries....

in 4 years time, all of these big contracts are gone, unless we re-sign any of them, or sign an additional free agent, and its doubtful we are adding any time soon, so we have what we have...

Holl is fine... if we could get better, i'm sure they would have... any FA mistake free Dman out there?

- aries1976

Usually I agree with that.

All the moaning of Nylander's was painful after a while....BUT .... this situation is a lot different. When a race car has a flat tire you don't need to worry about where the car will finish in the race. Doesn't mean the performance of the engine wasn't amazing or wouldn't have been amazing, just that it no longer has an effect (affect?) on the outcome.

Leafs have a few flat tires, the collective engine is might almost be (frank)ing awesome but there are a few flat tires and we may never know:

1. Flat Cap/Covid pandemic.
2. 3 FORWARDS making $11m each and not being able to deliver in the playoffs.
3. Dubas, whether he could or not, is stuck with the other two tires AND he can't make any moves that don't risk losing a top tier talent...why...because of flat tire #1. What other team even has Cap to make a 'fair' deal for a top tier talent from the Leafs? The whole league is under a flat cap for a few years.


So there's the pickle.

If the Leafs' are under a flat cap for the next 3 or 4 years, well guess what, they're (frank)ed if they can't win with this kind of a team on the ice....the front loaded roster with an iffy bottom 6, iffy top 4 D and an iffy goalie tandem.

All the pressure and focus is on the big 3. One is getting more flack than the others because he definitely didn't deserve the amount of $ he got and he has been weak in the past 3 playoff series.

Marner's play and Cap hit are definitely fair game ATM. It could retrospectively be one of the very reasons this team does not succeed in the next 3/4 years while losing UFA (Hyman/Andersen) after UFA (Rielly) until finally losing the first and best #1C this team has ever seen to UFA (Auston).

It's the big picture for some. Others, well, they like the 90/100pts in regular season for $10.9m.

My prediction is they will be even lower by then.
