If these 5 players had names like Bedard, Matthews etc. in them do the players get suspended right away? Is the outcry to ban them from the league the same?
I personally don’t think so.
I’ll have to disagree with you on this. Legit, if ANY player in the NHL had charges brought against them, they would be immediately suspended. There probably is a “out” clause in every pro sports contract for cases like this. Players in the NBA and NFL get suspended all the time for legal issues.
I also don’t think the players would be successful in suing the league for lost wages. The NHLPA is obviously fighting for them, and they may land some kind of settlement, but that’s about the best they can hope for IMO.
Do I think these players should have the opportunity to return to the NHL? Yes. Will I be pissed if the Leafs inquire about any of them? Also yes. Will I ridicule Oiler fans relentlessly if they stoop to the level of signing any one of these guys. Absolutely, yes.
This will be completely unpopular but….People are shitting on these guys because when they were kids they had a girl that wanted to party. 95% of 17-18 year olds would have done the same thing under the same circumstance. The only crime here was the fact that they lost years of salary. This has been a shit show clown circus right from the beginning.
That’s more of an indictment of hockey culture, or perhaps society in general.
EM is not without blame. Unless all of the players and witnesses came up with a corroborated, wild story, she wasn’t exactly an unwilling participant.
Keep ya dick in ya pants, boys, or be willing to live with the consequences.
Not guilty, but still pieces of shit.
Headaches the leafs dont need.
~FakepartofmeYup. Just because you’re found not guilty of a crime, doesn’t mean you’re innocent of being a garbage human being. I’d be very disappointed if the Leafs touched any of them.
And yet, you think some team is going to take on that anchor contract. Absolute fucking lunacy. You are the type of fan that makes Leaf fans look bad.
Oh, and just to remind you, Marner is gone, will always be gone, and he personally hates you.
The part you fail to realize is that just because he doesn’t fit with the Leafs anymore doesn’t mean another team can’t or won’t take him. Karlsson had an anchor of a contract. He still got traded.
Rielly has been here too long. The change of scenery will do him well and he still has value to a team trying to make the playoffs like Seattle or Vancouver who will probably lose Hughes sooner rather than later.
The Leafs fans that make everyone look bad are the retards who celebrate losing elite players but are still okay will being stuck with inadequate players like Rielly.
The reality is, there is nothing Tre could have done to keep Marner, and there is nothing he can realistically do to move Rielly. He’ll be a magician in my mind if he can somehow move 44 without getting absolutely fleeced.
Give him the Marner treatment, if he can’t get his game together. Ever since he got married, he hasn’t been as good.
The Marner treatment is running an elite player out of town because of idiocy.
Rielly has been here the longest and has never been good enough, like Makar for example, to lead the team from the backend.
It has nothing to do with his marriage. Or cocaine. Rielly is what he has always been. Bad at defending. He tries to skate and pass his way out of trouble and makes too many mistakes. When he was capable of scoring 20 goals and 70+ points, he was worth it. Now, he just makes too much money for 41 points and being a defensive nightmare.
And yet, you think some team is going to take on that anchor contract. Absolute fucking lunacy. You are the type of fan that makes Leaf fans look bad.

going to be interesting if the Leafs move Rielly.
I think they will need another puck moving Dman to replace him, unless the trade is for KarlssonI will die on this hill. Rielly will suit up in the blue and white for at least three more seasons, at which point he has a 10 no trade list. Then, maybe, he’s gone.
At least HB kind of works. This one is just too frustrating
How hard can it be to create a website where people can post things and discuss hockey?
HHS: Literally, fucking impossible.
Joshua to the Leafs
no idea if thats goodDon’t think this moves the needle much, wasn’t Laughton shaping up to be our 4C?
Edit: Actually, this might work out fairly well. If he can return to form from a few years ago, he can provide some depth scoring. Seems to me like the Leafs are moving away from being overly top heavy on the scoring side to spreading things out across four lines. He plays a physical game, no? Big boy for sure.
Someone started paying attention and saw the state of the Leafs threads. That can’t be good for them.
Ek saying that it was glitch in the system that got everyone banned.
It was posters from all teams that were banned.Just weird he never replied to anyone who tried to contact him about it.
No way it was all glitchiness.[/quote]
Welp, I guess I’m beyond saving as my ban still seems to be in place, WELL past the period that Dozzer said it should have been. No real loss, my only goal was to trigger AA with my avatar. But I’m sure he’s seen it here while impersonating other folks.It’s usually best to keep the LHD on the left and the RHD on the right, except in rare situations like the PP.
I was saying Tanev is not Seth Jones, not Carlo. But you’re right, neither is like Jones. Jones could take over a game. He did more than once against the Leafs. The Leafs don’t have that, on the left or the right. They just have Rielly who does have tremendous playoff puck luck offensively but terrible defensively. And year after year, it’s cost them in the playoffs.I can agree with this. The Leafs do need another above average Right-handed defenseman. They keep floating Karlsson out there. If they’d take Rielly off of our hands and gave the Leafs $2M retained for the last 2 years of Karlsson, than go for that. It could also include other pieces, where Pittsburgh gets a player like McMann or Robertson and the Leafs get a second rounder, or a good 3rd line forward in return. Would Rielly like to play with Sid and Gino? Back with Dubas? Let’s see if that could play.
Why would Pittsburgh take the worse player in the trade and then retain salary?!?!?!
And why they hell would Rielly go to Pittsburgh?!?!
I know almost nothing about Thrun, but considering we got him for a $1.3M cap dump attached to a player that brings almost nothing positive to the table, I can’t imagine Thrun is going to make any noticeable impact in the NHL. Hope I’m wrong.
I haven’t been paying much attention to the Leafs lately, are there really Karlsson rumors? Gross, avoid at all costs. Not what we need at all.
