ParticipantBoston at pick 69. Nice…

ParticipantHere is one of the places I saw it, not sure how legit the sporting news is.
WHIPPER
Participantwhere are people seeing anything about Marchand and the leafs?
I got texted by a Boston fan, and there were multiple obscure websites reporting it. I’m not really sure how it’s possible, would this not be textbook tampering?!?

ParticipantJT has $2m in deferred compensation
full no move clause the first 2 years
5 team trade list the last 2 years.Yup, all of those are perfectly fine.
WHIPPER
Participant$8M x 2 is what I’ve seen, far better than $9M x 4, but still seems like an overpay for a bottom six guy. That being said, he has a winning pedigree, and seems like the kind of player that is going to grab these pussies by the balls and straighten them out.
WHIPPER
ParticipantLeafs getting Marchand?!?!?!? Seems like an overpay, but…

ParticipantJT, you’re a beauty, Leaf legend.
Hey, fancy boy Marner, THAT is how you endear yourself to a fanbase. Now f@ck off.
WHIPPER
ParticipantSounds like the new CBA is going to reduce the percentage of a contract that a signing bonus can be. Is this not going to make it EVEN HARDER for Canadian teams to attract US talent?!? Not only are they not addressing the tax advantages the US has over Canada, they’re making it damn near impossible to attract US players north of the border.

ParticipantHoly f@ck, it’s a ghost town at that other place. I guess Ek is gonna have to get a full-time job soon.

ParticipantAA joked that he was going to write a blog. I jokingly said that he would title it Mitch Marner, a love story.
Three month ban for that, out until August 28. lol
~Shack2.0Worth it.
WHIPPER
ParticipantJust looked you up Whipper, your ban ended at the beginning of this month. Once you figure out how to get logged in you’ll be good to go.
~DozzerWell, apparently I can’t post until I verify my account with my cell number, so I guess my time on HB has officially come to and end.
WHIPPER
Participantwhen you try to post it tells you.
~senstrolltwoThat’s the weird thing about mine then. It never says I’m banned, it just asks me to verify my HB account with my cell number. And, according to Dozzer’s inside information, my ban should have been over by now.
WHIPPER
ParticipantHow do you guys actually know you’re banned? I keep getting asked to verify my HB account, but there is no mention of a ban. I would think it was just a website glitch, but Dozzer did mention I had received a 30 day ban. That should have been over three weeks ago, though…

ParticipantThe core 4 all lack that killer instinct that players like McDavid, Drai, Marchand, and Reinhart all have. Those guys passionately hate to lose, our guys just kinda like to win maybe if it works out. Mitch is gone, that much is known. Now where do we go from here.
I still believe in what is left of the core. This upcoming season is going to be a step back, there is almost no way to avoid that. But Tre has to find a way to bring in a difference maker in the next two years. Obviously, the #1 option is McDavid. I was certain he’d re-sign once Drai did, but after the way things went last night, he may finally realize that Edmonton is capped out, have HUGE holes to fill, and people just generally don’t want to play there. The Leafs are closer to a cup than just about any team out there, and he probably knows he’s got what it would take to put this team over the top. It’s a long shot, but not outside the realm of possibility.
Since option #1 is a long shot, now Tre has to earn his money. This years UFA class is thin, but in a year there are some heavy hitters. Very curious to see how things shake out.

ParticipantFlorida going back to back was inevitable, I’ve been saying it since well before the playoffs started.
Oilers made history, though. They had the most time trailing games in finals history. Both the games they won were in OT, and one was after being gifted a PP for a puck over the glass. This series wasn’t as close as it looked, an absolute blowout.
The Leafs got lucky. They jumped on Florida early and caught them unprepared. But Florida just grinds teams down, and would have beaten any team in a 7 game series. Is there a team in the past decade (or two) that could beat this Florida team?
