When he signs another massive deal with the Leafs.

I hope he does. Means more years of futility for the leafs.

Been watching the Winter “Classic” for five minutes - I still don’t know which team is the Bruins and which team is the Pirates.

Or to put it another way, Matthews and the Leafs will continue their dynasty.

The Bruins are at bat

He does have a point. Couldn’t stack the third line nearly as well

JVR ship has sailed
- Leafsmart

Sailed, decommissioned, languished in a lonely corner of a port for four years, abandoned, vandalized and graffitied for a couple of years by bored teenagers, then stripped of all useful components, then towed out to sea and sunk to become an artificial reef for fish and other aquatic life.

But if he comes back to Toronto, we can nickname him “Captain John.”

I'm worried about Matthews leaving at least a little bit, but also worried about him signing at least a little bit.

Is that what they did with that thing, they sank it?

In another GTA nautical question, why doesn't the derelict ship off Port Credit fall over or break apart?

Why the hell wouldn’t they put the Penguins in powder blues?

….or let’s just let Matthews walk cause Dubas signed him to 5 years with a no trade! Talk to me in June.
- Bullot

If he walks, we have cap space...

If he only wanted to play here 8 years, that was his choice.... if he signs another multi-year, great!!!, if not, use the money on someone else.

IIRC, it was scrapped, not sunk.

If we are turning this into an abandoned ship thread, I want to talk about the one off the QEW at Jordan.

Thanks Iggy, for your usual insightful Fandom.

Is that one still there? We should turn this into an abandoned ship thread.

I notice a lot of the posters who like to talk about hockey abandoned ship after the Leafs blew Colorado to pieces on their home ice the other night.

Players coming off ELC cannot have a no trade clause. So you're welcome to keep your troll attempts to yourself.

- TurdFergeson

Ah yes. What would 2023 be without your troll posts?

The biggest question mark for walking will probably be Bunting. He's on pace for about 60 points and for me is the most likely salary cap casualty for the Leafs. As you say, there will be several players moving in the offseason. I don't see Kerfoot coming back.
- winsix

I think he may sign a 1 year prove it deal or possibly walks. I wouldn't be opposed to letting him walk.

Peaceful?

Better?

More intelligent?

Or was this a rhetorical question?

Yeah. He hasn't been consistent this year. Sure he's been on a heater for a bit here but will he sustain it? Maybe.

Also if its north of 3 million id let him walk anyway.

A turd by any other name would stink as bad.

He’s gone, and I wish him well.

But there are approximately 50 NHL players who are worth $3.5M, but are willing to sign a 1 year deal with the Leafs at $2M, and then leave for greener pastures.

And I’m OK with that.

He’ll be 28 when the next season starts and he’s made under $2.5M in his career. He needs a big payday.

I’m guessing our friend Drexel here also thought Dubas should have signed Campbell.
