Ill put the over under on points this season at 99.5
you think over that or under?I’m going to say over with 101 pts.
Minnesota Wild dropping huge cash AND term on a 28 year old who will be 37 when his 17M per year contract ends and who has never scored 50 goals in a single season is a pretty ballsy move for sure.
Mc Jesus will get 18M per year or more now guaranteed.
I recently ate at “The Squire”? across from the arena when I was in London with the kids for the Korn concert. Downtown was looking rough….or so it seemed…maybe all the construction?
Oh no, downtown London is garbage, even McDonald’s left. Basically anything outside of the arena and Covent Garden Market block is drug user world… sure there is a couple decent spots if you can handle going down there but a lot of people just won’t.
The city needs to figure out how to get the junkies and homeless (both the good and bad ones) out of the area if they ever truly hope for the city core to come alive again.

Minnesota is a highly taxed state, nearly the same as Alberta total (46.5% in Minnie and 48% in Alberta, still better than Ontario’s 53.53% thanks Dougie) so I’m guessing that’s why it was so high. Still it’s over a $9 mill take home, I know it’s not the nicest place to live but damn, $2 mill more of a take home than Marner to keep him there? Yikes.

Yikes.- Dozzer[/quote]Thank god the Leafs didn’t overpay to keep Marner like this.
The fact there is only one poster who spews his garbage on here daily about how the Leafs should have overpaid Marner (who by the way didn’t want to stay anyway) simply shows the vast majority of Leaf fans are fine with the Leafs not making this same type of mistake with Marner.
And to preemptively respond to the “Marner left because of the fans, media, crime blah blah blah” – suck it up buttercup. Marner is the poster child for spoiled, soft kids. He has been told his entire life he was special and better than everyone else and when he wasn’t he took his ball and ran away to somewhere new where they told him what he wanted to hear.
Great player but spoiled brat.
If he was a pro athlete in a single person sport with the talent he has he may have had far more success but he’s not built to be a team player and it became more and more obvious as his time in Toronto came to an end.

Every city needs to do this. Round them up and send them all to one dystopian shit hole like Barrie that is already ruined. Problem solved.

Oh Marner would have cost a fortune to stick around for the $7.5 mill take home he gets in Nevada. In Ontario (and yes they are paid game by game so I’m keeping this very simple but it’s a truth) to get that he’d have to be making $16 mill. With advertising and only taking on 43 games in Ontario sure it would be closer to $15 but still, $13.5 in Toronto does not get him even close to what he now earns in Vegas.
Most importantly the leafs are a more well rounded team playing a more physical game. Yes Berube adjusted his coaching style last year because who the fuck wouldn’t when you have Marner in the lineup but both him and the GM weren’t going to continue that style unless Marner signed the deal that they drew the line on, and Marner didn’t.

Maybe the budget will include more injection sites. That’s always a guarantee to fix everything.

Send them to a government paid hotel room. Works every time.

They’re trying to clean it up, parking for free would help but that won’t happen, the parks still do well since thankfully they’re at the river and they’re large enough to be able to ignore the iffy folk.
The rest of London is doing great, just the core that sucks. The east end is iffy but it always was but even businesses and people do well there still. I’m in the old south end and it thrives, and the north and west are newer/growing and thriving. Maybe the idea of having the busses all meet downtown for people to change from one to another is a bad one? Who knows.
The city does seem to be focusing the police on street dwellers a lot more lately tho, getting them into the overnight dwellings and “insisting” a bit more strongly. It’s getting noticed. We’ll see how it works out on cost tho.

Marner would have stayed for less than 16.
And this fantasy about Berube’s style is a myth. Marner played two way hockey. Nothing changed before, during or after Marner. Proof is Nylander and Tavares are still there and both absolutely suck balls defensively, non physical players.

Avoid this man…
For instance for roughly $250K plus homes
Canadian federal government taxation: 33%
American federal government taxation: 37%Ontario Conservative government taxation: 20.53%
Alberta Conservative government taxation: 15%Ford is the iffy one atm who needs someone to go chat with him.

Berube wants fast/physical north south hockey and he said it himself. As for Marner staying for less, he was offered less and he said no.

Must be why Tavares, Rielly and Nylander were removed from the team. Oh wait, that’s the sound of that argument imploding.
He was worth much more than what they offered. Just because he was willing to take a form of discount doesn’t mean he was going to take a total discount.

Ford is basically a libtard wolf wearing blue sheep clothing.

Ok I’m giving JT the pass now, the old vet is still damn near a PPG and he signed nice and cheap deal to make up for signing for what turned out to be too much. Please keep in mind it wouldn’t have seemed to be that high if that Covid lockdown didn’t happen either. Him being a little high at the first year or two of his contract isn’t abnormal in this league, problem is due to that 2 year lockdown on the cap he never escaped it so he always seemed too high. The guessed thinking when it was offered would have been that cap should have been at least his salary higher when his contract ended.
Rielly… the on and off light switch? Come on man you know what year is coming up lol
Nylander has been climbing at what he’s good at so let’s just hope that continues. He’s a speedy ass offensive threat that keeps the opposition on their toes. They know that even if they have the puck if they accidentally give it up and he’s on the ice watch out cause he could take off with it because he doesn’t play a physical D and they know it. So that is Nylander’s defence, sticking inside the opposition’s head.
When it comes to Marner it’s unfortunate but his demand obviously had to do with take home, which meant more than $13.5, which was all the leafs were willing to offer cap wise. So if take home meant that much to him, he had to choose a team in a lower taxation location.
As for the other comment about Ford lol, and lol again, I was waiting for you to say that. Just saw him on the news chatting in the hammer about video cameras getting used more, is that guy ever going to learn how to talk? lol
