ParticipantIs it safe in here?

AYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

ParticipantPatches supposedly leaning towards returning with the Leafs. Love it.

ParticipantI cant believe how bad the user experience is for this site right out of the box. I get logged out with certain browsers, cant quote reply. the avatar nonsense. I also find it hard to read and hate the flow of it.
have to put up with the verbal diarrhea poster.other than almost everything about it…its great
~senstrolltwoYeah, if you’re going to roll out a website to compete with an existing, well established site (even though said site is outdated by almost 20 years), you’d expect it to be a little more slick than this. Or, at the very least, be doing regular updates to address issues. With all the banning issues over on HB, all the stars were aligned for this site to be a success, but it’s kinda been a dud.
That being said, I don’t expect I’ll ever be back on the buzz. My supposed 1 month ban (according to Dozzer), seems to be dragging on far past that. I’m not overly worried. I just really want to debut my avatar over there to trigger some fools.

ParticipantI didn’t like him in the playoffs on TV and I’m not sure he’s the right guy but I guess we will see. I know he was an Assistant coach in Tampa when they were a powerhouse but I feel like he got a lot of credit for someone else’s (Jon Cooper) work.
He wasn’t good in Detroit IMO.
~Cush29Holy shit. I thought you had gotten carried away with AI images again, but this is legit. Meh, another former head coach as an assistant to replace Lambert can’t be a horrible thing. Shoulda hired Pete DeBoer, but I’m sure they were well on their way to hiring Lalonde long before DeBoer was fired.

ParticipantYou could be bang on. I think he’s young enough and hungry enough he may want to go to a team he sees as having a real shot at a cup now
~Cush29If that’s what he truly wants, why not sign back with the Leafs for $10M? There aren’t many teams that are as close to a Cup as the Leafs that have the cap space to pay him what he seemingly thinks he’s worth. At $10M, (assuming JT takes a similar team-friendly deal), the Leafs have the flexibility to address some of the other issues in the FWD group. Marner would be welcomed back with open arms, (and extended a lot of grace in the future if he continues to disappear when needed), if he signed that deal.
That being said, I have always maintained that I would never expect a player to take any kind of team discount. These guys have short careers, go get your bag while you can.

ParticipantI’m embarrassed to say I missed you saying that or forgot! I was looking at what teams had how much cap space and saw how much San Jose had and thought – wow he would be a good fit there. Sure Columbus has a ton of space too but San Jose vs Columbus?
~Cush29I think Marner is at the point in his career where he wants to make the maximum amount of money with the least amount of expectations. With him, Columbus is a playoff team, and then he has to live in Columbus. San Jose is a long way off, he can play with Celebrini, and he can golf year round.
WHIPPER
ParticipantAre you my alt, Cush?!?! I don’t have a link to it, but I’ve been saying San Jose for a few weeks now.
One thing I know for (almost) certain, he ain’t going to be wearing blue and white next season.

Participant4) Jesus Fucking Christ, we gotta do something about Rielly. If he’s coked out, put him in rehab and bury his caphit. If he refuses a trade, then redeploy him as a second pairing guy and go after someone like Provorov. Leafs need another top pair D guy. It won’t come cheap. Maybe use some of the Marner cap space. Also, minor tip here – chatter is that Tampa is cutting bait with Nick Perbix. He’s actually a solid 3rd pair guy who will come cheap. I’d snag him if he leaves Tampa (just for depth).
~PDFIf the rumors aren’t true, and Rielly ISN’T addicted to coke, maybe someone should GET him addicted so we can force him into rehab and bury his cap hit.
4D chess.
WHIPPER
ParticipantCarolina has about 30M in cap space.
~dmntedHe probably wants north of $30M, lol
WHIPPER
ParticipantFor the record, for many years in Edmonton some have wanted Drai run out of town for lazy backchecks and defensive play, much like some say about Slick Willy.
You don’t hear anyone slagging Drai these days. Just saying…
WHIPPER
ParticipantNo but it’s under protest for you cheering for a Marchand cup win.
~CushThat is the unfortunate, unintended consequence of a personally much needed Oiler loss.
WHIPPER
ParticipantBut, I’m cheering for Florida. Is my MVP award revoked?!?!

ParticipantYup, I saw it on X and had to use it, LMFAO.

ParticipantI can see where you’re coming from. By no means do I want to just run it back and hope it works this time, but I think a few tweaks can push them over the top. They’re close.
Florida looks horrible ATM.
