ParticipantCan you imagine what Bedard and Celebrini are going to command? Over $20M per season on a 4 year deal. They’re now mercenaries who’ll go where the money is. This also means that low tax states have a hugely distinct advantage over the Canadian and Blu States. Now look at Knies, signed long term, only 23 and no trade protection. When a team has more than one of these type of players, making north of $20M on a shorter term contract, it’s going to put them in Cap hell and they’ll come calling on the Leafs and Knies. You can score a franchise changing player, even up for the lower contract of Knies. The other scenario is keeping Knies on the cheap contract, moving a Matthews and add a Superstar, $20M player for that rebuild.

ParticipantHey its nice to see other teams have to deal with 21yo getting massive contracts to muddy up the contending window.
just did a quick scan of some of the best players contracts, and someone like Nate Mackinnon is 30 and still has 5 years left on his 12.6
if he signed a 4 or 5 year deal instead and would be a UFA now or next season, he would get 20mil x 7 in sure or something like that.
makes me curious what 33yo UFA Kucherov getsyup. I was going say something of the sorts but did not.
So Matthews next contract will be 20M over 5 yrs. Well maybe not 20M cap hit but it will be up there now.July 9, 2026 at 5:51 pm #77467Unholy_Goalie
ParticipantI was talking about Steve Sullivan wanting the head coaching experience but whatever move the goalposts whatever way you want. We get it. We are all retards and you know absolutely everything.
I am fully aware you were talking about Steve Sullivan. But the only reason he is taking the Marlies job is because he lost his NHL job, not because his first choice was the Marlies. That’s called a demotion everywhere except in retard land. The Leafs already gave him a job with limited experience and then demoted him. It wasn’t his choice to go to the Marlies because he simply took what he could get which was a demotion.
If the Leafs were putting their financial advantage to good use, they would be grossly overpaying David Carle to be the Marlies coach. Pay that guy 5 million a year to coach in the AHL if you have to and just wait to promote him. That’s the top prospect in coaching and the Leafs should be bringing him into the fold with their financial might, at any cost.
But, instead, they hire Steve Sullivan because Leafs gonna Leaf.

Participantso the Ducks matched the offere sheet to Carlsson.
Gauthier, gonna want most likely the same type of contract

ParticipantSince he loves them so much The Leafs could hire UG and UG would criticize The Leafs for doing so.

Participantjust because the a coach doesn’t have NHL experience doesn’t mean he’s not qualified to coach in the NHL.

ParticipantOr maybe possibly he wanted some head coaching experience? I mean probably not because there are no other options than the ones that come from a shit stain like you right? All that inside information you have to substantiate your claims. Fuck I cannot imagine the NASA sized computer brain you must have to know everything.
Unpossible, experience is worthless to the Leafs. They just hire and promote unqualified guys all the time.
If coaching experience meant anything to the Leafs they’d have kept Lalonde (and his two Cups) and his PK that actually was the only aspect of the Leafs that didn’t suck ass last year instead of hiring a guy with zero pro experience because he’s an analytics asshole.
I can’t imagine you being more retarded with each passing day but as Einstein said, stupidity is limitless.

ParticipantUnpossible, all I read here last year was how shit he is.
Only a retard like you could look at a demotion as a win. Got replaced by a Senaturd no less too.
