I guess it helped that I openly said that I guess I can ban people for 3 months since nobody seems to give a fuck anymore lol

LOL!

At some point, someone figured out what was going on.

“glitch in the system”… yeah, and the Epstein files are just a big Democrat hoax.

It seems my unjust ban on the board that shall remain nameless has been lifted 2 weeks early.
Interested. -Fake

yeah, quoting that image isn’t working. I can’t be bothered to figure it out.

Leafs need to target Boeser, to replace the Marner offense. Also move on from Kampf, Robertson & McMann.

But context-wise these are projected cap numbers from capwages (some of which I’d disagree with, but it’s a basis for conversation):

Boeser: 8.5
Ehlers: 8.1
Drouin: 5
Suter: 5
Granlund: 5
Roslovic: 4.1
Mangiapane: 3.8
Olofsson: 3.4
Dadonov: 3.3
Nyquist: 3.2
Appleton: 3.2
Beauvillier: 3.2
Brown: 2.9
Raddysh: 2.7
Skinner: 2.6
Armia: 2.5
Bjugstasd: 2.3
Tanev: 2.2
Eller: 2.1
Kunin: 1.8
Dvorak: 1.8
Tatar: 1.5
Kuraly: 1.5
Brazeau: 1.5
Jeannot: 1.4
Sturm: 1.4
Eyssimont: 1.4
Faksa: 1.3

I’ll take a Granlund, a Tanev and an Eyssimont.

Anyway, I believe the NHL has revenue sharing.

Interestingly, the article on team revenue I saw (June 2024) showed the Oilers with the second highest revenue. I never would have guessed that. Panthers were bottom 6, but I think maybe they were the only tax-free state in the bottom 10?

I think the Leafs do get an advantage in terms of just being a wealthy enough franchise that they can structure their contracts with large lump sums (??) I am not positive how any of this works.

Gave it a quick read, basically cut 6% from the top 10 teams and give it to the bottom 10 teams and yeah, a team like Toronto who the fuck knows what they’ll do, they’re rich lol.

Wife and I were just talking about whether or not the Leafs would have won without a cap. I know they failed for decades, but I am tempted to say that, with no cap, they would ice an all-star team every year and probably would have won.

I also wonder how much they can make handshake deals and promise people lucrative retirement gigs (Tavares??) I don’t imagine that is legal, but it would be nearly impossible to enforce that rule.

Anyone see any good PC deals out there… gaming laptops, relatively powerful (even though I don’t play any demanding games right now)

Had a nice 17″ Legion, tore it down trying to fix it, but it’s fried 🙁

Well yeah, but additional income is not additional cap space. In fact, the additional income allows the Leafs to support other teams, including the ones offering players the huge tax break. Even if it is only 43 games worth it is still significant.

Huh? How are the leafs supporting other teams? The leafs can’t hand opposition teams money openly, unless there are acceptable payouts from tv contracts etc? (Sincere question there)

It’s actually closer to 16.5 AAV in Toronto for 12 AAV in Vegas. 14 AAV in Toronto would have been a discount for Marner.

No surprise he didn’t go to California. He can visit from Vegas but he’s way better off in every way in Vegas. Good for him.

Well players are paid game by game so it’s not a full difference like that, Leaf players only get paid 43 games in Ontario for instance and they aren’t high income earners anywhere else. Also, a notable difference for players on the leafs is they get a notable additional income for marketing which we get zero info about.

Has anyone figured out if UG and Jewel are the same person?

I just assume they are.
