The Saturna Island vineyard has been closed (and overgrown/unattended/abondoned) for a few years now. My Mom used to live right next to it for about 10 years. Pretty sh*tty wines for the most part, the odd gem. F*cking morons running the place!
- Marwood


I was at a wine release a decade ago and every single wine they brought was faulted in one way or another. Abondons you say, wonder what the property is worth...

Edit - damn, too late. Sea Star (Pender Island) already bought it.

I believe it will be as quiet as it is every other year. I guess we’ll see. My guess would be that there are zero offer sheets signed this off season.

teams could have taken a shot at nylander last year and didnt, the os system is broken

My guess is 1-2 but 0 wouldn’t surprise me.
As for quiet that’s a hard no given how many top teams have cap problems. Add in the e-draft is looming not too far ahead & it’s a certainty IMO.

Which domino falls 1st?

- Nighthawk


If you mean there will be a lot of player movement, then I agree. I’m talking specifically RFA’s receiving offer sheets. Lots of guys will get traded/signed to new teams, or go to Europe because they can’t get a deal in the NHL.

the ONLY person i would even think about offering would be Kapanen, and that is strictly because the leafs are handcuffed so hard with their cap, that they could not afford to match at 4 million (right now anyway), and that would only cost a 2nd round pick.
- Codes1087

i understand the notion as it's been brought up several times here but is it realistic?

1) why would kapanen sign with a bottom dweller? based on money, he'll only be getting $1m more approximately than what the leafs would offer. if he's going to sign an OS, why not try for a contender. based on the $4m thrown around here, why wouldn't multiple teams be making offers?
2) why wouldn't the leafs match and work the cap to accommodate a $4m hit? they have the summer to be 10% over the cap so it's not like it would be time sensitive.

i get the leafs have cap troubles but offersheeting a $4m guy won't work. they'll match and make other moves to make the cap work imo.

ive always thought the whole idea of offer sheeting to be completely stupid, and the fact that its only happened once in 22 years, leads me to believe that teams and GM's would agree with me lol. At the end of the day, the liklihood of any player being offer sheeted is slim to none, and more likely they are traded and re-signed or just re-signed in general. The only reason I bring up Kapanen, and why most I think do as well, is because Dubas is so cap-f*cked, its going to be hard to keep any "2nd tier" player while they are committed to the others. If its between a lowball offer from TOR as they are paying their "star" players big money, or getting an offer at 4.2 mill from a different team to play elsewhere in a bigger role, it might not be that hard of a decision for him.

In the end though, its all just shooting the sh*t when it comes to these proposals.

fcuk the leafs but.... they'll match and everyone and their dog (read media) will talk about how the canucks failed or how desperate benning is or some other bs.

it'll be more frustrating for the canucks than the leafs with how it'll play out.

They (leafs) will move Kadri and Zeitsev and let Gardiner walk to make room for Kappy. Marleau will likely not be moveable. They still have more ELC players coming to round out the roster.

I am not super familiar with buyouts, but I think they are stuck with Zaitsev, as with Marleau.

Even after Gardiner leaves, they still only had just a tad over 5 mill to sign 3 players. I imagine Dubas makes a few trades to make room for the 3 remaining players he needs to sign.

i almost think it'd be easier to OS a tier 1 guy than a $4m guy.

offer sheets work (imo) due to the offer being substantially more than the original team can offer. how much more will kap get with the canucks than any other team (even the leafs)? not much more is my guess.

and then it comes to fit. if kap is serious about signing an OS, he'll pick the team and the leafs will engineer a trade. i would think that the leafs would absolutely match any offer for him or give him a "good" contract with the understanding (known to the player or not) that they'll trade him in the offseason or later.

If they pay a premium I’m sure they can rid themselves of Zaitsey.

4.5 mill AAV till 2023/2024 for what iv'e heard from leafs fans as a "dog sh*t" dman, that would be one hefty premium for any team to take.

capfriendly's number for next season includes horton's contract. they have 9m which is tight but moving one or both of zaitsev/kadri should get them close

or marleau has a 'LTIR retirement' and they free up $6m. if lamorello was still around you could almost guarentee that happening

player has to want to accept the deal. if his agent is half decent he'll know the value of endorsements in toronto is likely better than anywhere else, so any offer has to blow him away
