    I thought the same thing. They can trade anytime except if they turn down the arbitrator decision then he becomes a UFA and cannot trade his rights.

    Yup, the only trade they got now is to either somehow strike a deal with him before the third, or sign the arbitration decision on the third.

    Other than that it’s letting him become a ufa
    by saying no to the arbitration as you mentioned.

    Oh well at least they signed him and avoided losing him for nothing. I gotta think they are going to try to trade him.

    Anybody eviscerated yet?

    Tummy is a little sore; maybe some bad salami on the weekend.

    Site is back to the toggled login/logout problem, which is even more comical than our resident cultist.

    ROFL, we all know your playbook by now. This is from whatever page describes what to do when someone makes a point you can’t debate or defend.

    Wrong. I could eviserate his and your idiotic headline click bait point of view of events but this is a hockey forum. You started it and I’m ending it. Stick to hockey.

    LOL, “eviserate”

    You’re a mess.

    And why every single republifascist voted to not release them. Must be because of all the dems on it.

    Stick to hockey. Your IQ drops 50 points when you talk politics.

    Like the Joshua Tree.

    Our left side is massive: just giant hunks of man flesh… McManly, Joshua Tree, Lorentz, Knies.

    Not sold on McMann. I’d like to see them move
    him, on the back of his 20 goal season.

    Not sure what happened there. I thought he was going to be the ideal 3rd or 4th liner, and then the production dried right up. He was getting some chances in the playoffs but was a little bit snakebit.

    Someone started paying attention and saw the state of the Leafs threads. That can’t be good for them.

    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.

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

    I miss Tucker.

    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.

    FFS, it takes me 15 minutes to respond because the browser I was using doesn’t get along with this site, it “toggles” me logged in and logged out and by the time I navigate to the thread I am toggled off … had to use MS Edge, ugh.

    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.

    UG could quite literally be the leafs GM himself and he’d criticize all his moves online lol

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

    I just assume they are.
