Participantcannot wait to see the epic gangbang back at carter hart’s hotel room after the golden knights win the cup. you think marner will get in line for some action?
no matter who wins, the leaf nation will either have to watch marner lift the cup or andersen lift the cup.
i really wish we’d get our shit together and take back the cup from that gang of pedos south of the border. americans have had their kiddy-diddling hands all over our fucking cup for too long.
agreed

ParticipantIf San Jose is a moron to trade for Rielly, wouldn’t that also make Seattle a moron as well?
I’d think Seattle would need a sweetner to take on Rielly 4yrs vs. 1 year of Dunn.Because San Jose is an easier sell to UFAs than Seattle so they’re more likely to be able to pull in quality players. They’re less likely to have to settle for a shit D like Rielly with other options available. Rielly won’t be traded until every other option is exhausted and teams get desperate. San Jose is less likely to get desperate for an anchor contract and a bad D.
Seattle on the other hand is run by idiots. They just added Melinda Gates as part of ownership. They don’t give a fuck about winning a Cup. They’re just trying to win the woke Olympics. And Rielly would fit in perfectly. Again, to a team like Seattle, adding Rielly gives them a guaranteed player for 4 more years at 7.5 AAV. Any UFAs they hope to add would cost them much, much more than that as they’d have to grossly overpay to get somebody to live and play in Seattle much like the Leafs have to grossly overpay players to sign in TO.

ParticipantSan Jose would be pretty retarded to take Rielly, even if they do need guys on D. They’d be likely to attack the UFA market before they add pylons like Rielly.
Also, Rielly can’t play D and San Jose needs guys to prevent goals and Rielly causes goals against rather frequently.
I don’t care where he ends up but I’d say Seattle is a place he would land because it’s close to Vancouver without being a terrible team.
Vince Dunn for Morgan Rielly is the type of trade that the Leafs might be able to get away with. Just take a bad expiring contract and give Rielly a new place to go to.[/quote]

ParticipantIv seen a lot of Mock drafts go
Leafs – Mckenna
SJ – Reid
Van – MalhotraIf it does, would you offer Knies for #4 to try and grab Stenberg #4?
I really like knies, but I think his value at the moment is a bit higher than his actual value or on ice impact. He can still get better of course.
Tough call.But Stenberg should go 1 or 2 imo
Nah, trade Matthews and Nylander instead. Rebuild hard.
Knies is under 25. If Hyman scored 50 after he left, Knies could become the next premier power forward somewhere else but he’s young enough that if the Leafs sell hard enough, they could turn the team around and make Knies useful before he exits his prime.

ParticipantGenerally people attribute the draft picks to the GM. he was a Dubas pick etc.
i dont pretend to know shit about people behind the scenes, and nobody on these sites do, some just pretend harder than others.It’s not that hard to have connections to the inside especially when an organization has so many people employed on the inside. The NHL circle is a small one but the sheer number of people around them is significant. I’m one degree of separation away from Dubas and that isn’t super uncommon.

ParticipantHis draft record isn’t that good overall but if the rumor is that he only made the good picks and none of the bad ones it’s rather convenient. I guess Benning picked Hughes too then.
Better than doing nothing is still not as good as hiring the best people possible. It’s another typical Maple Leafs hire.
Meanwhile, Tampa Bay got Jack Pridham fresh off a Memorial Cup for a 3rd round pick. That’s “doing something”. Guess the Leafs can’t trade and sign the kid after they fired his dad.

ParticipantSan Jose seems like a logical landing spot for Rielly.
They only have 3 D signed for next season and 1 rfA?Its just what could the Leafs extract from SJ?
I think its something reasonably decent, I dont think he is a cap dump.San Jose would be pretty retarded to take Rielly, even if they do need guys on D. They’d be likely to attack the UFA market before they add pylons like Rielly.
Also, Rielly can’t play D and San Jose needs guys to prevent goals and Rielly causes goals against rather frequently.

Participanttifwiw, but its out there that Brackett didn’t want to take Juolevi, that was Bennings pick.
Also wanted Boldy over PodkolzinI guess if you are not he GM or have final say, you can only give you input.
Overall lots of changes. better than doing nothing
