I suspect we see 88 and 34 next game. Might as well. Load up the top line and let the other teams focus on defending.
Knies-Matthews-Nylander
Macelli-JT-McMann
Joshua-Roy-Lorentz
leftover crap…I liked the big 3rd line. Give them a role, check, skate, defend. Top line plays 23 minutes and has to be hero’s every game. Lines 2 and 4 – just don’t do stupid shit.
Berube can tighten his leash or use an electric dog collar like a psycho lunatic would use but who is he going to punish? Who does he bench and then who comes into the line-up? This is what they are. This is what they got. And it sucks a tail pipe.
I meant the leash around Berube’s neck is tightening. He’s a big dog without any bite ..and I agree, I don’t think he’s a good coach. If this team is floundering around Xmas the noise about his job will get loud.
Leafs are a Stollie injury away from the draft lottery ….without a pick.
Goal 1 – Matthews n McCabe with a clinical “how not to play hockey in the dzone”
Goal 2 – PK
Goal 3 – Lorentz n McCabe with a clinical “how not to play hockey in the ozone”
Goal 4 – Matthews and Domi, having watch the previous goal, with another perfect clinic on “how not to play hockey in the ozone”.Terrible. Berube’s leash is tightening.
Even strength numbers not too bad for Leafers. 15GF 12GA. Better offensively then I expected so far.
PP needs to pick it up. 2/14 with a shorty against sucks. Last in PP opportunities per game ..and second last in PP results (next to the Oilers? WTF).
Interesting issue on Friege today ….
The new LTIR rules mean Pietrangelo (if he wants to play at all this year) will put Vegas over the cap (by 4+Million). Vegas is hoping he accepts a ‘non playing’ designation so they get full relief. Tough call for AP if he wants to keep the opportunity to play open.
Jarnkrok and Robertson have the night off with the big boys ..interesting? Maybe they’re closer to in, then out? Or, maybe they’re gettin’ the “showcase” treatment and they’ll play with the big boys in pre-season to look their best. Maybe a bit of both …
Thanks for someone finally being honest about it Brad.
“If we were not in a no-tax state, it wouldn’t work out, probably for two guys. Two guys probably would be leaving in that situation,” Marchand said. “That’s a benefit that this team has that we able to utilize and make work. I’m thrilled to be here for the next six years.”
Lots of good reasons to play in FLA or TB or Vegas but the math is the math and no state tax does in fact equate to more cap space in those states.
What numbers are you using?
Florida: $12 x 0.63 = $7.56
Ontario: $12 x 0.4647 = $5.58
You might want to relearn the calculator.
Florida taxation: 37%
Ontario taxation: 53.53%Like I said, I used the forbes tax calculator…I simply entered the salary, single person and selected area.
As previously mentioned, “not sure how accurate it is”Also, you have the exchange rate as well. the USD goes much further here……for now.[/quote]
Exchange rate is a non-issue. Nobody spends $5M per year on groceries and the cost of most goods is increased in Canada to reflect the weaker dollar. A Rover ain’t cheaper in Canada. If it’s 100k in USD it’ll be $140k CAD. So USD for athletes living here doesn’t translate into cheaper living.
Money, Winning, Lifestyle.
Kadri for Kampf and Jarnkrok, straight up.
Why would Calgary do that?
The leafs are fine down the middle, they need wingers.Beggers can’t be choosers at this point. Leafs need to add some offense into the top 6 any way they can. JT or Roy can both play the wing if needed.
The talking heads are all saying nobody is selling. So the options are Ehlers …..or somebody’s bad contract (Kadri).
So we are keeping our powder dry?
Until the trade deadline?
Might still be in the Ehlers negotiations – apparently he’s going slow.
Otherwise ya, looks like Tree is saying no to any major overpays on these guys bottom 6 guys getting term and $$.
Tanev joins utah
Tanev to Utah …3 x 2.5m
How could tre not match that?
Maybe Tree did …maybe he offered him more?
Not a big loss. Lorentz does similar stuff for half the price.
