It’s one bloody practice. Who cares.
Start him on the 2nd line and he can always move up after a week or so.My gawd, you never stop whining.
Never said he would be there the entire year. I said the idea of putting McKenna with those two is a terrible idea. Same with the idea of Roslovic being a 1st line player.
But, you, being retarded is clearly too much for you to comprehend.
Terrible idea to put McKenna with Tavares and Nylander. I know he lives with Tavares but that line will be a defensive disaster.
They appear to want to make McKenna “earn it” and his carrot being dangled is playing with Matthews but logically McKenna and Matthews is the only thing that makes sense for both of them.
McKenna needs a center that can defend which is definitely not Tavares and is definitely Matthews. And Matthews needs passes.
Roslovic is Matthews’ buddy from his USNTD days but he fucking sucks. Top line minutes will be wasted on him.
And Daniel Briere did not help things. Players must love him. But if I were a GM, he would surely be on my blacklist.
It’s literally only a matter of time.
When a team is bad and has 25 million in cap space or is 20 million below the cap floor, they will eventually grossly overpay to acquire talent. This is exactly why the NHLPA wanted a cap floor when they created the salary cap.
so 10-11 mil is the rate now for a 2nd line/ low end 1st liner
in my mind players that used to get 5-8 milfun times
Cap ceiling goes up, cap floor goes up, player salaries go up.
It was always crucial to draft well and that will not change. The three years of ELC and the RFA years is where teams get the best value.
Were Seattle and Vancouver on his only trade me to team? For the sake of argument, let’s say yes.
Both of those teams would see Rielly as contract dump by the Leafs and would request a high pick in order to take him on with little coming back to the Leafs.
Otherwise he’d be traded already, no?Again, whether they were or they weren’t, it doesn’t matter. His short list are the teams he can’t block. The rest are teams you’d have to “convince” him to join.
Would they really? Seattle and Vancouver have cap space and are scrambling to find talent. Rielly, being from the West Coast, is easier to sell on those locations. Seattle has Dunn signed for only one more year. If the Leafs swapped Dunn for Rielly, the Leafs get an expiring contract and Seattle gets a puck mover signed longer term to a cheaper contract compared to what future UFAs will demand. That’s not a dump, it’s a win-win. Both were 35-40 point players and minus players. Just a fresh start for both guys going back to closer to home.
So no, it’s not a straight dump especially if they Leafs take back another type of “bad” contract.
Like I said, he hasn’t been traded because he’s one of the boys and the Leafs don’t have the balls to push him out the door by force.
And yet everybody else seems to be able to do it but the Leafs are run by a bunch of pussies, too scared to force bad players with bad contracts out
Why give up a premium pick (Remember Marleau trade) to move a player with a NMC.
For me, that doesn’t sense.
better to keep the player and hope during the season can be movedWith what some guys are getting paid, Rielly would not have required a premium pick to get rid of him. Seattle and Vancouver both still have 17 million in cap space. If the Leafs had taken back even a 3 or 4 million dollar contract, Rielly is a drop in the bucket. Hell, I’d have taken Vince Dunn from Seattle in return with the same cap hit on an expiring contract.
Keeping the player makes the team worse defensively. And his offensive ice-time, like the PP, won’t exist with bringing in Raddysh which only reduces his value further and makes it harder to move him.
Rielly is still here because he’s “one of the boys”, not because they couldn’t get rid of him if they really put some effort in.
Trading players with M-NTC or NMC is a difficult thing to do but not impossible.
It’s not like waiving your magic wand and poooffff, they are traded.The Leafs are hoping that Blueger and Joshua rediscover their magic they had in Vancouver.
And yet everybody else seems to be able to do it but the Leafs are run by a bunch of pussies, too scared to force bad players with bad contracts out because heaven forbid a future, unknown UFA might get skiddish about being overpaid by the Leafs.
What magic? Mediocre magic on a shit team? I like Blueger and Joshua has some size but that duo wasn’t any kind of magic.
I dont understand why Chayka needed to burn through all the cap space immediately.
leaving some flexibility would come in handy.
are still a few ufa that can probably be had for really good value deals nowAgreed especially because what he spent so quickly on wasn’t worth the price he paid like Roslovic. Sissons, I like as a player, but was grossly overpaid too.
GMs usually make the most and the biggest mistakes on July 1st. He jumped the gun and was in a rush to sign guys because he thought they’d disappear.
Rielly and Joshua need to be traded and together make over 10 million. Not finding a way to dump those guys was a big error.
Tell me more about IPTV streaming boxes? What do they do, and where can you acquire one? I’m leaning towards ESPN+. I have a couple of high-end routers having VPN’s from different American locations.
80,000 channels (movies, shows, live TV, PPV, any streaming platform etc,) for 10 dollars a month. It’s not complicated. Depending where you live, you can find them in any plaza or strip mall. Or buy an Amazon FireStick and install the programs remotely. Just pay for unlimited internet usage and top of the line speed and you’re golden.
