Crazy that all the Leaf haters yapped about the Leafs not being able to ice a lineup with those 4 contracts. But even with no cap rising, the Leafs have managed a LOT of depth, at forward and D.

Guys like Sandin, Liljegren, Robertson, Abruzesessese, being able to step in, and being able to use Dermott as a trace piece has helped. Drafting has been fantastic.

Along with Dubas doing a phenomenal job finding good players in FA and other teams castaways. His trading has been great.

Dubas did right by Dermott, he gave him an opportunity to get ice time somewhere else which wasn't going to happen here..

Next on that trade list, should be Holl

I'd love to see what Dubas can do with a rising cap.

He probably would have overpaid for Hyman.

I dont mind TSN 1050 in the morning, I used to like it more with Landsberg which is weird to say. Fan 590 was awful for quite a while. I have to admit, Carlo has his bad moments, he isnt the sharpest tool in the shed.

Sportsnet is only better for baseball.
But most of their shows are crap...specially the kypreos one.
TSN's overdrive is better than anything sportsnet has to offer outside of their Jays shows.

Overdrive just has too much stupid poop. Every time I put it on, they’re doing some idiotic Gary’s take or something. The moments when they have someone worth listening to on are way to seldom to put up with the crap.

590s two Raptor shows are good. I like Marek. I know lots don’t but he’s knowledgeable. Obviously it’s not Toronto focused. I also like their morning show.

yeah, that's possible. Very true. Re-signing his own team is not a strength.

Overdrive is entertaining with their games and segments. I like listening a lot. I miss Ferraro regularly being on the show.

Doubt he would have given Hyman that money, let alone that contract. He's always injured.

Listening to Marc Methot on TSN 1050, its hilarious that he says negative things about the Leafs, and he clearly doesnt watch the Leafs.

Saying that he doesnt know where the Leafs PK came from, and has it really been that good this year....so yeah, he knows nothing.

- Archaic


his leaf hate is pretty obvious

leafs had one of the best PK (most sh goals) all season, but it came out of nowhere



about what youd expect from a former sen

Ya overdrive has alot of filler but some if it can be entertaining.
I cant stand Marek and cant stand how Sportsnet hockey shows try way too hard to not be Toronto centric

And why exactly is that?

Nylanders deal?
Matthews deal?
Marners deal?

Even if you want to open the can of worms argument that is "Is Mitch Marner overpaid" and take the 'yes' side you have to admit he's not overpaid by leaps and bounds, it's not a contact that pays a guy like he's 25 when he's actually 43 and Marner has had a great year and looks to be poised for a great playoffs.

Even if you think Marner is overpaid Meatload said it best - "2 outta 3 ain't bad" no?

The guy is a moron, his Leafs hate is explicit even, he doesn't hide it in any way or try to be objective.

i'm happy with the players we got. no doubt. But when Matthews got his contract, he got top dollar, which is fine, but 5 years is a fail when you're paying top dollar. Marner probably shouldn't have gotten the money he did, again, considering where he was as a player, at the time.

Nylander contract is a big win, but rather fair at time of signing vs his comparables at the time, not a steal.

I'm happy these guys are under contract, but none of these are team friendly, in the context of where the players were at when they signed.

I think its that, and trying to obtain relevance, where he has none. Trying to be a Leaf hater to boost his social following/responses. Best thing to do is to not pay him any attentionon social media.

I'm having a hard time understanding how giving Matthews top dollar was a mistake.

nope, not really. Matthews and Marner have developed into players you would pay that money for (again, not full term for Matthews is a fail), and Nylander has BECOME a steal. I don't think Marner and Matthews were well done contracts. They're not disasters or anything, but really not a big success either.
