Not sure Doz, if he did I missed it.
I double checked, he did.

AW: Nikky Bobby is an RFA. They could just not qualify him I guess?
I thought he got a qualifying offer?
The good news might be that at these numbers we might get a 7th rounder for Kampf and Jarnkrok!!
I’m at the point where I’d be cool with giving one away for someone just to take them lol
Who dafuq is Pazzetta?!?!?!
Kings are going for it next year.
There will be nothing left for the Queefs but table scraps lol
Well they signed Perry so they’re about to lose to a team from the East in the finals no? lol
Yeah, they need a balanced top 9, so moving Nylander to 1RW doesn’t make a ton of sense there.
Almost wondering if Nick Robertson stays now, plays with Roy on the 3rd line.
I won’t even pretend to know what the aim is, truly curious to see what the re-shaping will be.
A more balanced forward group is the target, it won’t look as special, but it will be more stable on the back end is my guess.
I think inherently I’d question Domi’s ability to hold down a top-6 job all season. This said, I’m not sure what credentials Maccelli brings to the table to get that promotion into a top-6 role either.
Ya, Tanev’s a good candidate ..and he “might” come at a team friendly number if he’s zero’d in on playing with his brother.
If Ehlers won’t take a good number to come here then ya, I think you just zero in a good middle/bottom six types and you can go with a roster like yours.
Although I’m staying persistent on my take that 88 should be with 34.
Domi-Matthews-Nylander
Knies-JT-Maccelli/McMann[/quote]Problem with that is both Nylander and Matthews are both the primary shooters of the line. And both JT and Knies are the front of net guys. Whoever will be on the alternate wings just needs to be a half decent setup guy.
So the Marner Maple Leaf socks are still rolling along at $24.99 on Amazon… damn… I wonder how long this will take to kick in?
Ditto for me
And no initials, those two brothers are pretty similar looking, the confusion on the opposition’s faces would be worth it lol
I’ll be interested to see what Tre does today. So far everything he’s done on trades is for 1 year. Keeping his cap space open for next year.
I don’t mind that, it’s not the most stellar free agency so he may be doing this deliberately, looking at trades through the season or hoping that certain players reach free agency next year?
The primary thing will be focused on building up the secondary portion of the forward group is my guess. They stopped spending it all on star forwards and it’s time to spread it out.
If the Leafs can land Tanev I’ll be a happy guy, I mean if they don’t oh well, but if they do it will make me smile.
Does Dorofeyev get a new Rolex watch for giving up his #16 to Marner?
He could flip it to 61 but Stone would say fuck that!
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.
I am willing to bet JT ends up in the leafs office somehow… not as GM or anything “routinely” public, just some quiet guy that goes around doing the “occasional” public thing lol
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.
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)
