Somehow someway both sites will end up merging.
No chance. This will become a silo and echo chamber for the left wing lock until they also get bored and go back.
That’s exactly what we want. It’s working to perfection. Lock this place down like Nova Scotia. Liberal Hivemind or bust.

UG’s definition of being a Leaf fan:
Trash the team and all of its fans on a full time basis.
So. What do they need to add to Robertson in a deal for Rickard Rakell? Kampf for salary, Hildeby and the first 2028? Not sure they have the assets for it without giving up Cowan which would likely be a mistake.
I’m not sure Ek ever understood what made his site work. He seemed to believe that we were all drawn by all the roomers (E1’s to E5’s) or by the his insights and not that he just gave everyone a home to bitch or troll Leaf fans
~CCI’m old enough, (and I’m sure you are too), to remember the absolute pinnacle of an Ek rumor was an E4, that was a done deal, guaranteed to happen. But then Ek got so damn many E4s wrong that he had to create a new, higher level. Once he gets one of those wrong, we’ll see E6s I’m sure LMFAO.

The last time Eklund got a roomer correct was the Dustin Bufyuglgiglin trade to the Thrashers lol

I don’t think the Leafs should give a 1st for Rakell. For me at most, is 2nd depending who is being moved.
Sometimes, the blogs would be pretty decent. Meltzer comes to mind. Even Engels had his moments. The rest of them regurgitated stuff, were there to practice writing, or were just trolls.
Not once do I ever recall going to Hockeybuzz for news or for an “insider” opinion. It was 100% about the forums.

Jeepers creepers, I can’t believe I’m defending Ek and his stable of bloggers, but here goes:
Hockeybuzz was a stepping stone for more than a few bloggers to go on to respectable writing gigs.

Don’t think you can get a 5mil consistent 20g 50p type guy with another year on his deal after coming off a career year for anything less.

I would wait, esp dealing another 1st. See how the team plays to start the season. Unless some great deal fell into their lap.
The should have more cap space than they ever have. Another top 6 forward is prob the need. but other needs might pop up half way into the seasonI would wait, esp dealing another 1st. See how the team plays to start the season. Unless some great deal fell into their lap.

~senstrolltwoAt this point, I’m happy for the Leafs to wait to make any more moves. They have a bit of cap space, they have some players that should be fairly easy to move out if needed, save as much capital for the trade deadline as possible. If you move out Kampf, Jarny, Robertson, and picks to get a player that doesn’t pan out, you’ve handcuffed yourself at the TDL. Keep as much flexibility as possible.
Is this team, as constructed, going to win the division? Almost certainly, no. Is this team one, maybe two TDL moves away from being a real problem in the playoffs? I think so.

Season will be decided by the goaltending. If Stolarz is still statistically the second best performing goalie behind Hellebuyck and Woll is healthy and good, they’ll be a strong team again. Maybe not division winners, but there’s no clear regular season* favourites for the Atlantic.
Maybe he’s here house shopping. Shanny’s place is on the market. (And by here, I mean there.)

The Penguins are not trading their #1 goal scorer before the season starts with Crosby still on the team. If the Penguins really suck and blow it up at the deadline, then it might happen. But it’s not going to happen now.
And they’d need to add A LOT more than Robertson to make that happen. Probably Cowan and/or a 1st round pick, neither of which the Leafs can afford to trade for a poor man’s version of Nylander with bad playoff stats to boot.
It’s not happening.
Robertson for Tomasino could happen. That’d be an upgrade for the Leafs. Otherwise, it’s a dream.
