This upcoming year will the last year of LTIR abuse.
It’s going to be horrifying to watch teams abuse it one last time.
Unless the Leafs do it.
Those morons don’t know what LTIR is outside of a guy with a bad cough who makes 1.5mil.
Dude: are you really forgetting the Riley Nash deal?

Two quick observations:
– Tavares on the open market would have received over $7M easy. In fact, some dumb GM would have probably given him $8M. He took a huge paycut to stay in Toronto.
– Montreal is a fantastic place to sit on a patio and watch the pretty ladies walk by. The talent level in this town is much higher than their hockey team.
that’s your opinion which means NOTHING. I think he will do fine.
Who says he’s a 1 year rental. Only you who says that.He did absolutely nothing that warranted surrendering a 1st round draft pick.
He’s the type of player you can sign as a UFA on July 16th at a bargain rate.
some people get ranty when you post simple facts. its nothing to get worked up about. UFAs get offered contracts based on thier reg season production.
players who score 38 goals and 74 points get paid accordinglyIt is a fact that both Mitch Marner and John Tavares will be given contracts that wildly overpay.
The only debate is whether or not the Leafs are the ones giving that contract to Tavares (Mitchy is so far gone, I can’t even see him).
i will watch to see Bettman booed and hear about all the trades that dont happen
It’s not centralized this year – there won’t be anyone to boo Bettman.
Leafs got picks #64,84,137,153,185 and 217 coming up this Friday and Saturday draft. – dmentsie
Ah, another year of not having to bother watching the draft.
Just like old Leafy times.
Holy poop, What the hell is going on at the old site?
I mean, I know it’s the off-season, but still.

I’m kinda digging Uggie’s theory that it is MiB and Meltzer handing out the bans – it’s really the only thing that makes sense.
you disagree with me which is fine but you don’t have to be an absolute twat about it – Conversation_Killer29
Thats rich coming from you who acts like this daily. Your tired act of playing the smartass and trolling not one but two sites now looking for fights is growing old.

I notice you didn’t address his second point.
We don’t know who does and who doesn’t and who is going to stay where they are and so on.
Bennett and Marchand both grew up Leaf fans and Bennett is from Holland’s Landing. He expressed interest in coming here before. Marchand’s requirement is to be in the east and play for a contender. Both of these guys fit in that bill. Would they come here? No one knows, but the opportunity at least exists.
Brandon Tanev has publicly said that wants to finish his career playing alongside his brother. Now would be a pretty good time to consider that.
There are players out there that would remake the bottom-6 on this team significantly better than it is. Kampf, Jarnkrok, Robertson and Holmberg would all go; Reaves would ride the bus with the Marlies. McMann, Lorentz and Laughton could stay. Right now I have penciled in Knies at $7.5 and Tavares at $5.5 and that leaves you with $18.5m. Bennett, Marchand, Tanev, any of Suter, Bjugstad or Faksa (particularly Faksa, because I liked how he played in this year’s playoffs at any rate).
Depending on contracts – assuming around 8 for Bennett, 4.5 for Marchand and then 2 and 2.5 for Tanev and Faksa, you have a bit of wiggle room sitting there for 13th F and 7th D as needed – Cowan, Quillan, Steeves (if he resigns), or someone else – and guys like Myers, Danford or Webber could slot in the the 7 spot.
When you move outside of the Bennett and Marchand type players in this year’s crop I don’t see a lot that “changes the DNA” – Duchene, Ehlers, Boeser, Giroux, Mangiapane, Kane – good players, but older to old – and not really carrying the reputation of being hard to play against.

It’s either get excited about the Oilers, or watch the Blue Jays.
Go Oilers Go
you gotta face it, Marner will NOT be back with the Leafs.
Exactly this.
Leafs fans paved paradise, put up a parking lot (not really, but my way of coping is to have fun with it).
With all the talk of if the Leafs are ‘worse’ without Marner is lacking a clear definition of what the person asking the ? views as ‘worse’.
Marner finished 5th in the league in scoring, and 7th in Selke voting.
I get that we all need to come up with ways to cope with his impending departure, but FFS, this team will be weaker next year without him.
