WILL THESE LEAFS BE HEROS OR ZEROS? – Scabby
Depends on which hole of the current golf course you are inquiring about?
I figure the Habs and Captain Motorbike Boy and his crew are deep into the back 9 so Captain Underpants and the Leafs are probably at the turn by now……
Rangers moving Kreider so they can make a play for Marner – senstrolltwo
Could be or Ducks loading up to also make a play for Marner and really go for it?
Big name players moving teams is kinda’ fun.
Well, I’m about to cut bait on this place also. There appears to be no will to moderate forums any more. Even though this forum is still small and not that busy, we are already seeing problems with blatant trolling and lack of rule enforcement. That doesn’t bode well for the day the site becomes a lot more popular. If these forums really get rolling with tens of thousands of posts and dozens of daily active posters, how will they keep up if they can’t do it already as things currently stand?
No moderation. No report/abuse function. No block or mute. Hmmm…..
I’m not getting too comfortable here. My HB days are over and my HHS days might be numbered… – PDO Speedwagon
It’s sad how much a very small minority of people can ruin something for so many isn’t it?
I love seeing Tweedledee & Tweedledumb in here crying because they know Marner is as good as gone, resorting to personal attacks and the likes because they can’t handle the opinions of others or someone not agreeing with them.
AA who on HB just finished swearing up and down he isn’t on here, has re-appeared again impersonating a HB user.
You can’t make this shit up.
I tired posting this earlier but it did not work out.

Ruh R’oh Shaggy it says the Leafs shouldn’t’ even consider re-sighing Marner! You’re going to upset some folks like the ones or one who seem to now be screaming from the roof top that the Leafs should pay him 16.5 M because of taxes.
I get it but sadly asking players to waive NM / NT clauses they have in their contracts is not something many of them will do.
In addition as fans we own SOME of this blame – the rink sells out every game, seasons tickets have a 10 year or more wait list and despite the insane prices on just about everything Maple Leafs from popcorn at the rink to a jersey we pay it and the Leafs are the most profitable or at least the most valuable franchise in the league. The Leafs were worth 4 Billion last year, half a billion more than the closest team (Rangers) while the ‘average’ team is valued at 1.9 Billion.
I wish the Leafs could instill that culture of taking a bit less so the team can use that saved $ cumulatively to get more of what it needed to win but that needs to start with one big star player and quite honestly we just haven’t seen it from the Leafs yet. Some will argue JT took less to come home (and he reportedly did) but he still got 11M on max term on a team that has way too much invested in talent.
We can only hope they can get that cultural to eventually be something that happens but it’s going to take time I fear and the other thing which many of us just don’t have much left of – patience.
Marner could do it now, but we all know he won’t.
Matthews and Willy and Reilly all could have done it in past years but they didn’t.
Maybe one day but then again if this team just keeps making the most money in the NHL and remains the most valuable franchise the real ? is is MLSE / Rogers even motivated to?
Now stay silent like a good boy.
Do everyone here a favour and take this advice and apply it to yourself.
You should at least attempt to do research before you say stupid shit like that.
Stupid shit eh, honestly if anyone would know about saying stupid shit it’s you.
Seriously, are you that blinded by your hate for JT and raging that the Leafs would be so wrong to bring him back that you have to be an an absolute knob to anyone who dares not agree with your opinion? I would think by now you would be used to people not agreeing with all your super hot takes and video game mode trade proposals.
You posted stats about 2 players with zero context other than “playoff points / goals” which was intentionally misleading since one guy has played 128 playoff games and the other 75 and when that fact is pointed out to you this is how you react?
For the record I didn’t see ANYONE say JT was a better playoff performer (I sure as hell didn’t), I provided context to your post that was missing important information – had you posted it initially instead of trying to spin a narrative by intentionally omitting it we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Here are some more facts that may hurt your feelings:
JT HAS in fact played 75 career playoff games https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=89823
Tyler Johnson was the playoff goal and point leader in 2015, he also led in even strength goals, Game Winning goals and goals created in those playoffs.
Tampa had Ben Bishop in net who had the most shutouts in the playoffs, a .921 Save % and a 2.18 GAA.
Maybe it’s you who should do research before posting ‘stupid shit’ or post the entire set of data and not just cherry pick what helps support your opinion and purposely omit what doesn’t but should be considered.
The only person screaming about JT is you, it’s quite probable that JT will be back, you may want to look to accept that fact while considering that facts don’t care about your feelings.
Thinking that not bringing a guy back for 3-5M is the major change that’s needed vs not paying a winger 13M or more and yet again putting the Leafs into a cap situation where they simply can’t build the balanced roster that the true, like the elite teams in this league have right now is incredibly short sighted.
I’m done with this debate – sorry / not sorry to have spoiled your narrative with facts.
Stamkos has played 128 career playoff games many of them with stacked Tampa teams.
JT has played 75 with the Islanders and Leafs.
#facts
I wonder how long until we here something about Marner and JT?
I feel like the JT situation will be all tied up and done well in advance of the Marner one as it’s a fair bit simpler assuming he takes a hometown discount to stay and retire a Leaf – which I think he will.
Maybe email the site owners. We don’t want this site becoming the other place – a wild wild west with no moderation that slowly turns into a full-blown “Nazi Bar”.
Edit : a report post button would be nice. And one that actually works, unlike the HB report post function.
Agreed.
Fun fact – the report a post button on HB didn’t work for a long time, when I was a mod there it didn’t work properly and then not at all. lol
Keep killing threads Rob. You have now killed two separate sites, but anyone paying attention knows this is what you`re up to. Mad at HB because you were stripped of your moderator status.
Also, it SPELLED not SPELT, dumbass.- AA, Tankooki, Horsey Sauce pretending to be Big23Questions
Hey Einstein,
Considering you chose to use UK slang to throw an insult at me you should know that Spelt is in fact the UK version of Spelled.
The fact you clearly do not doesn’t surprise me, it’s just you once again showing everyone what a hypocritical servile wobbler you are.
So I’ve seen it heavily suggested that Carolina is going in, as are Vegas. I think it’s a lot harder for Vegas because they would need to move pieces – pieces they have won with – out in order to afford Marner (like Karlsson or a Barbashev) – or possibly Hertl. I’ve also seen it suggested that Marner isn’t what Carolina needs and they know it – but they were willing to flip Rantanen for him.
The other names you hear a lot are LA and Utah. Lifestyle-wise, LA is cool and all – but I guess now that’s he’s a relatively newlywed with a newborn, they’d need to decide on what type of lifestyle they want. There are a lot of US markets that would offer a lot more anonymity and lot less vitriol than Toronto.
But with a young child, I’d imagine proximity to family is important to both. You may have money, but being cooped up in airplanes for hours on end all the time is exhausting.
It might be the lure to keep him on the east coast. You don’t hear a lot about the Rangers, likely because of their NMCs – but Drury has shown a real compunction to tell people to F-Off and want to get rid of them, so who knows?
I think if I were gambling, I’d lay odds on Carolina because of the east coast relationship. My dark horse would be Chicago because getting Bedard someone like Marner to play with would send a message that’s loud and clear.
That said, your point about San Jose is decent – but I think I’d be fearful that in 2 years I’m re-upping Celebrini, Smith Eklund and a few others (that won’t command nearly as much), but I don’t know if I want to invest 15% of my cap in a guy who will be 31 when I’m resigning Celebrini – and will be setting the bar for the contracts on the team. – Monkey Puck
Good points on what Vegas would need to give up to clear the cap space to be able to sign Marner. I think almost if not every team in the NHL would want him on their team but that’s the issue or question – what do they have to sacrifice to be able to fit him in financially (we know this is very likely the situation in Toronto for instance).
Also good point on proximity to family and LA is quite a ways away but again off seasons in Muskoka and being on the road during the season as much as he is already maybe the change isn’t THAT drastic?
I don’t see the Rangers because the pressure there although less that Toronto is still pretty intense as is the media scrutiny. You could be right on Carolina and I said this before a Marner / Bedard combo would be pretty wild and impressive. Who knows a dark horse may come and get him and shock us all or he may end up staying in Toronto and shock almost the entire world at this point.
I guess we will see – is is July yet!?
Shhhhh the grownups are talking. Kim Jong Cush
Well you`re certainly not one of those Rob, so shut the fuck up, you Pillock. Your obsession with Marner is ghay and weird. Yep, that checks out.
Also, Twatwaffle? Really? That`s over 20 years old just like the Felica reference. Are you capable of ever coming up with something fresh?
No, it will just be another absurdly pusillanimous response. – Twat Waffle Supreme – Big 23 Questions Imposter and now confirmed AA, Tanooki, Horsey Sauce
LMAO you are so rattled you just went off and blew your cover Donnie Brasco way to go!
Good to see you are using a Thesaurus though, despite your constant need to Kyoodle here and over at HB.
Did you seriously just try to say I’m gay (sorry ghay as you so maturely spelt it) and use it as an insult inside of a childish rant after I told you to hush up while the adults talk?
I would hope you see the humour and hypocrisy in that but I doubt you do, just like you thinking using it as an insult in 2025 is anywhere near appropriate or acceptable.
It’s funny yet sad considering how often you are on HB preaching at people posturing as being a great person with tremendous virtue and integrity – clearly that’s not the case.
As I said before just hush up and let the adults talk hockey, I’m done engaging with you.
