Seabrook wouldn't waive to play for the Leafs
How about Crawford for Nylander?? - RedRevenge
How about Ceci for Kane? š§
I heard Kane wants out of that poop hole.

Hopefully you're right. But when the Hawks went through cap hell, people said the same things and the cap barely rose. - RedRevenge
It actually has increased a lot since the Hawks last cup 4 years ago. |

Well, the Leafs defense last year was terrible. Do you watch any games???
Why do you think they were a 1st round exit?
You can give all the excuses you want about why Nylanders "play" diminished. But facts ARE facts. He had 27 points playing next to elite talent. That's not worth 7M.
The leafs top 4 is about the same as last years. They lost Gardnier(good), and Zaitsev (ok). They added Barrie (great) and Ceci (terrible). Maybe Ceci works out? But so far he hasn't and I go by facts. The same reason why I don't like how the Hawks acquired Alexander Nylander. - RedRevenge
The Leafs D is completely different. Do you follow NHL transactions? LOL
Barrie, Rielly, Muzzin are an excellent top 3. Dermott is a very good young D that can plug inmto the top 4 once he returns in November. |

Is he still playing? - walshyleafsfan
Short answer: Yes. 6M, 1 year left.
Long answer: 2 years ago he had a concussion and missed the second half of the season. Last year, he came in around December. Played a few games, then got concussed again. He was OK last year when he was healthly. I don't think the leafs would want him unless they want the cap space after next year. |

Hardest thing to do in the NHl is score 5 on 5 goals. Matthews is by far the best. No one's in his league. That's why he's a very high cap hit.
Look beyond career high of 73 points. Skinner got 9 with 63 point career high and he was a winger. (Skinner is 3rd 5 on 5 goals last 3 years).
Marner's career high is 26 goals. That hurts him a lot. - RogerRoeper
No players contract should be compared to Skinner's. 2M over payment |

IT's an official contract, so yes it should be.
BTW, is Auston Matthews an overpayment? Many believe so yet it's compared to what Marner should get. |

Well last year, the Leafs had Gardiner, Rielly, Muzzin and couldn't get past the first round. They replaced Gardiner with Barrie...... You see how there isn't much improvement?
Your top 3 are solid defensemen, but none of them scream franchise #1 defensemen (No Doughty, 2013 Keith, Letang, etc).
I don't know who Dermott is? Is he relevant? He didn't seem to make a difference last year? |

Ok big shot elite salesman. Tell us more about how important you are and how accurate Ek has been with his "sources". - Snowman X
Never said Ek was accurate.. but things change all the time in business. One day someoneās thinking about an offer sheet, they leak it, the next they looked into and decided not. Ppl act like hockey reporting is suppose to be an exact science.. give me a break! If ppl donāt understand that then they are truly idiots! And then to read a guys blog just to continually sh*t on it? You guys are jokes! And funny how ppl donāt believe me saying that Iām a top sales person.. why because you guys are sitting around smelling your own farts? Canāt believe someone on hereās a success because you guys are such losers? Lmao jokes! |

This speaks volumes for how much you know about hockey outside of the Blackhawks. How many teams have a #1 D better than Rielly? If he isn't a franchise #1 defenseman, then there are only 5 or 6 in the league.
Dermott is solid, and very young. A lot remains to be seen, but so far he's looking like he's on the path to be a very impactful 2nd pairing guy. |

It's odd you include Gardiner when he is a massive reason they lost against Boston the past 2 years. He was -5 in game 7 in 2018. LOL
Barrie is a massive improvement over Gardiner. Stop suddenly praising Gardiner because he left the Leafs.
Dernott is an excelent young D.
Morgan Rielly is hands-down a #1 D and better than Letang. Rielly was 4th in Norris voting and had 72 points. |

Marner will get an offer sheet from desperate Oilers. McDavid will want out if things don't turn around fast. |

The leafs shouldn't overreact to losing to Boston. Sometimes stuff happens. They had a decent shot at the cup last year. They lost. Trotting out the exact same team wouldn't mean they don't win it next year. There is a lot of luck in this stuff. If we played the playoffs again, St Louis probably doesn't win it all. We could have been a lucky bound or two from a Vegas vs Toronto final.
That said, I like Gardiner's offense more than Barrie's. I like Barrie defensively better though. Losing Kadri hurts a lot, Kerfoot is good but not as good IMO. Zaitsev and Ceci...idk, I really don't care about either of them. The leafs on paper are probably the same or slightly worse, but it is a long season and lots changes with the maturation or young guys. They probably have another 5 legitimate shots at the cup.

I hope this is true.. I canāt stand how these players are playing hard ball when they are being offered generational wealth. Itās sickening! And for what? Ego? You hear ppl say, āyeah but if you were in that situation youād do the same thingā. Actually no, most ppl wouldnāt. Iām an elite sales person who makes an incredible amount of money. There was a time when my employer and I got into a contract negotiation over what amounted to 30K in lost income. If I hadnāt agreed, it would have damaged the operation and we wouldnāt have been able to afford the support we needed. Understanding this, I made a deal to lock in a high salary but dropped my commission. I gave up 30K in commission to have a guaranteed contract and so that my company could thrive. Giving us the resources to grow even bigger. Eventually seeing me make even more money.. these damn RFAās are just spoiled little brats! Came from rich families and are full of entitlement! If he doesnāt sign soon, I hope the Leafs trade him to the desert and he loses all that marketing money! Screw this kid! Iām very close to writing him off and never being a fan of his again! - JKSoule
I too have turned down raises. Our company only has so much money to go around and we have to share essentially. Iām at the top of the pay scale and it only hurts our people starting out if I get as big a raise as them. We want to keep them, so some of us take less of a raise so they can catch up on the pay scale. And we certainly are not talking millions here.......or dream job and being worshipped by fans.
Trade him now, balance the team.

Barrie does score more than Gardiner though. And Kerfoot's #'s were very close to Kadri last year with less TOI and he's cheaper and younger.
Leafs biggest issue losing to Boston: Mike Babcock. It's not the players. His player usage is so odd. He had a winger with 1 leg lose repeated faceoffs against Bergeron. He played the crap out of Marleau and played Matthews 18 minutes in game 7. |

Same guys praising Gardiner now have been ripping him since he's been a Leaf.
Defence has improved, forward talent has decreased. For a team that scores a bunch of goals I don't think this is an issue.
How healthy the team can stay, and how well/poor Freddie Andersen plays this year should dictate how the season goes. |

If they fire Babcock we won't get to see 16 minutes of Spezza in game 7 against the Bruins this season. I vote keep him! |

Actually, making fun of the leafs is great, but Nylander's contract is pretty much fine. Points wise he is similar to Reinhart (not play styles but whatever), and most sabre fans will be happy if Reinhart's deal next summer is 7 mil. - matty12345
I would take Nylander over Reinhart and that is not a slam against Reinhart. |

Isn't that the same as every fanbase? Buffalo and Ottawa blames the coach and fires one every 2 years. |
