ELC contract years will start being used up because he’s 20, yes, but it wouldn’t if he was still 18 or 19. But he still has never played pro hockey yet. As I have said elsewhere, Nylander, as a rookie, only last 22 games after 2/3 years playing pro level hockey at his age. Cowan needs top-six minutes in the AHL. Playing 8 minutes in the NHL is a waste of his development time, even if it isn’t wasting his contract years.

Ahhhh ok so by waste of a year you’re simply talking about how he’s being used, ok got it. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

Maybe the Leafs are quite simply in the now or never mode. Prospect and pick depth is notably weak, and where will this team be when Matthews’ contract is up? The backend will be notably older, same with their starter, JT isn’t leaving, so use whatever is best now. I mean why build the kid up in the minors? To have some core basically around Nylander, Knies, and him if Matthews chooses to leave? If that does happen having that kid with experience would likely make him more tradeable as he’d be at least in the middle six by then anyways. It will be rebuild time.

I don’t know what’s going on either lol

Quick FYI, ELC contract years still get used up in the AHL. So Cowan gets a new contract in 2028 one way or another. Looked into that last night and that’s how it works. Leafs or Marlies has zero to do with his current contract.

the Leafs have cut a good chunk of there roster.
they are mostly the Marlies players

Seems like they’ve pretty much have their roster pretty much decided so long as nothing severe happens over the next few days. The starting lineup is supposed to get Thursday’s game (according to the media) and what is leftover will cover Saturday’s. Be interesting to see what happens after that. Who gets moved, who gets put on waivers, etc.

That’s a FANTASTIC price for the guy who lead the league in SV% the last two years.

Tendies are locked up for the next few years, D is too (granted, they’re a little long in the tooth), and we have 16-18M to bring in some (A?) nice pieces next year.

In Brad and Woll and Stollie we trust!

The D is a bit older but not ancient either so I’m not worried about them for a couple of years so long as the forwards backcheck decently they should be fine.

I like the goalie signing, not too long and not too expensive so it fell within what I felt was reasonable for him.

I’m liking that Cowan is looking like he made the team at least to start the season too, people might be freaking out that he should be starting in the AHL in a top 6 roll but that’s not how things tick for that guy, even for the Knights he started off in a bottom six roll and worked his way up. With him he might be too good for the AHL and he simply won’t develop anything down there. He might simply be one of those types who needs to develop in the NHL by working his way up the lineup. I’ll even give UG credit tho, there is still a concern here and that’s how well this kid will last over an entire pro season, 4th line minutes should help that, but we shall see.

Plus Jays and Europe

Yup, and I actually got to catch the jays game while sitting at the bar of Fatty Patty’s here in London enjoying a couple pints because my gf was craving their beef dip and fries. So I got to watch that game there so long as I brought that home afterwards lol. Pints are so much nicer than cans, and that place has good food so having it within walking distance is very nice.

And seeing Europe get The Ryder Cup was sweet too.

This site isn’t doing anything either, just wish people would tell me where they took off to

And of course Kidney scores lol

[Dozzer]

Robertson’s shitty ass defensive game was totally to blame for that first goal by Montreal. Here’s hoping he can fire one back in.

Seriously, why is Toronto holding onto this guy?

Habs Projected lineup

Forwards
Bolduc – Newhook – Kapanen
Blais – Veleno – Beck
Farrell – Belzile – Thorpe
Dauphin – Condotta – Kidney

Defensemen
Xhekaj – Carrier
Struble – Hutson
Del Gaizo – Engstrom

Goalies
Kahkonen
Fowler

Well… it’s the preseason so neither is a safe bet lol

I know this is random but I think Kidney should be traded to Vegas.

I posted on the HB thread that I wanted to see Slava Duris one more time in a Leafs uniform… and the post is gone.

The disrespect to the Duris legacy is unreal.

His weight made him a powerhouse lol

To be fair I’ve only been posting off of chrome from my iPhone so if that is any reason I’m sneaking by something I certainly don’t know what it is.
