So the pictures with money before the bankrupcy, the sexual harassement complaints that he settled, the sueing over pressure to abort children is just your typical douche hockey player?

Hot damn what a league of bumholes.

Every teammate and coach he has been with has said he has matured. He isnt 23 anymore...

He wasn't hurting anyone with that, I will cut him some slack as he has seemed to stop that nonsense.

And the sexual assault claims have zero proof...just like P.Kane. If you sleep with enough women and are a rich hockey player you are bound to have some make false claims about you to get some money out of you. How many times has this happened and went away? Plenty.

You'd be (frank)ing shocked, I have a friend who played with a lot of well known hockey players. Yes they can be ass holes.

And an expeirence from someone close to me I know for a fact Kadri is one of the biggest bum holes of them all.

Kerfoot didn't play vs Boston 2 seasons ago.
If you are referring to the play-in round vs columbus, he wasnt very good in that 5game round either.
He was one of the best players vs the Habs, but then again, low bar..

If Leafs do not resign Hyman for 3-4 years, I hope they fail to make the playoffs coming seasons so a true culture change will be implemented.

What if he's asking for longer than 4 years and more than 5 million per year? You still demanding he do it?

Oh I've been around hockey players long enough to know they aren't angels.

And you can give him the benefit of the doubt for the crazy stuff, sure. But when it happens more than once, I tend to start giving these claims more credibility.

You are right.

coming from the guy that said Chayka is still Arizona's GM and Price is a washed up goalie, that is quite an interesting quote

I'm liking Jenner and Jones on the Leafs. Korpisalo I'm not so keen on.

Who are we trading to CBJ for those guys? Mitch?

For the next 5 years. K. Recorded.

I like Hyman but it's gotta be a 5x5 or less.

I’ve realized I can be away from here for a day, a week, a month, or even a year, “I’ll be there for you”, er….yeah, anyway…
Someone can be gone for large stretches of time, pop back in here, and it’s like we’re in the same comments section from the same blog we left ages ago.

Media driven, all the sharks rave about him.

Sure he has the bankruptcy thing going on, didn’t effect his play one bit this year. And no better team to make some extra cash than the Leafs.

He’s a nasty player to play against and the Leafs could use a guy like that.

It’s pretty easy to fit him in. They just need to let Hyman go.

Rielly for Kane swap.

- Santo_44


Great they rave about him, but if he did this he is a POS. Considering all his actions, he isnt the smartest of people.

Exactly, he is clearly an idiot, and looks to be a bad person in general.

1. I don’t watch every team in the league or study Capfriendly so I don’t pretend to be an expert on who to trade for. Lots of people on here seem to have a pretty good handle on other teams and lots pretend to and throw names out.

What I think we need are some guys who can play a bit more of a forechecking game that would work better than the “possess the puck every second” approach that we used even if it meant staying outside or making bad passes instead of putting the puck in the corners and going and getting it. We were good at scoring after turnovers in the season.

Who we get is also a function of how much $ is freed up. Are we talking about Mitch is gone scenarios or Freddie, Kerfoot $.

2. So the one caveat on going D shopping that I was thinking about walking the dog was Rielly’s pending UFA status. One approach could be to push hard to discuss an extension now to see if they can get him in at a number they can live with. If not, move him now and make your D moves. Whether or not that’s Hamilton or not is still a question.

If he stays, Rielly, Brodie and Muzzin continue as the core. Maybe one of Holl or Dermott are off to Seattle. I’m not crushed by either loss. Sandin and Lillj deserve shots and I’d certainly offer Bogo another contract. So, there’s a pretty good starting point. Maybe there’s a different Bogo. I do think bringing up the kids is important.

- Canada Cup

1. Players who forecheck more is a very ambiguous statement - how many players exactly? You also alluded to shifting the lines. Are you suggesting breaking up AM34 and Mitch? Do you swap Mitch and Willie on Matthews' wing?

From a forecheck standpoint, I'm not sure who's out there that could legitimately play in the Top 6 truculently while not dragging the stars down.

Perhaps Sam Bennett?

Doesn't sound like Foligno is an option and Hyman is likely not returning. Maybe you bring in Boone Jenner as your 3C?

I dunno. I'm not trying to "gotcha" here, I'm genuinely curious.

2. If the Leafs let Rielly go they're going to immediately need someone who is a stud D in return. That will cost $$$. Maybe you swap Jones and extend him beyond this year?

If you want to ride Rielly for the year you're either committed to letting him walk (terrible waste of assets unless this team miraculously wins the Cup) or paying him big $$$ to re-sign.

Suffice it to say. the Leafs need to make a long term decision on who is the #1 D. I don't think Rielly is capable of being that guy. He doesn't appear to be a functional PP QB type though I doubt he would enjoy being relegated to PP2 behind Sandin (or whomever).

Dougie Hamilton may be the cat's meow this year in terms of UFA, but I'd like to know how many teams are willing and capable to afford him at 8.5Mx7 (ish). I doubt he takes the money from dumpster fire teams and he certainly won't be signing with VGK or the Avs (who have their own upcoming monster in RFA Cale Makar).

I don't think him signing or the wage he'll be commanding is quite as out-of-reach for the Leafs than you do, I guess.

(though I do doubt that they will end up signing him in the end... it's just fun to speculate and I think it makes just too much sense as a good fit)

oh ffs

Same thing with P Kane. Same thing with every other major league player 99 times out of 100. False claims to get rich quick.

I do agree if he did actually do it...but come on that situation has already been resolved with absolute zero proof. Don't be so gullible.
