Don’t want take anything from Leafs, but Florida did not show up for the first 2 games, especially Bobrobsky.
~AlexTMLPrecisely this. We caught them flat footed, and even though the Leafs won the first two, the games weren’t blowouts at all. Florida was hanging in there but the Leafs just managed to get a few clutch goals at the perfect times.
No its not. I know you dont like facts but marner had 1 assist in the final 4 games against the panthers and 2 assist in the final 3 games against Ottawa.
For $11m he disappears when games count.
In 2023 he had 1 assist in the final 3 games against boston
In 2022 he had 1 assist and 1 goal in the final 3 games against Florida…he showed up for one game
In 2021 he had 2 assist in the final 3 games….technically final 4 games against tampa
In 2020 he had 1 assist in the final 3 games….technically final 4 games against Montreal
Horrible stats for an $11m player….even worse for if he wants $13mThese are facts. So what was previous said was FACTUALLY correct.
Once again…you are not.
~FakepartofmeLOL, Marner made one 4ft pass in game six but was otherwise invisible, and homers acting like he put the team on his back and carried them to the win. I don’t know why I even bother responding to some folks.
8 years, 13.16 AAV. Kampf has been traded for future considerations to accommodate the increase.
~UGThat’s a hard pass for me. Can’t be paying a guy 15% of the cap to disappear when the games mean something*
*Yes, I understand we’re paying 2 other players that kind of money to have the same results, but what’s done is done.
Tre has a press conference tomorrow, what could that possibly be for?!?!
Announce Marner’s team-friendly $10Mx8!!!
I like it.
I’ve actually been talking to Bill Metlzer about contributing here so maybe some of our Habs friends will join us on the Island.
~ScabehThere are certain posters we’re hoping don’t find their way over here, fingers crossed.
Some context for the upcoming free agent spend-off …
Nylanders 11.5M on a $88M cap translates to …
12.5M on a 95.5M cap
13.6M on a 104M cap
14.8M on a 113M capNext summer, if McDavid signs an extension, it’s going to be north of $17M. His current % would translate to $18.8M.
~LawsieMarner walking will open up just about all the cap space we need to sign him, then. Sacrifice next season for a Cup in 27. Plus, he’ll take AT LEAST a 50% hometown discount.
But they aren’t.
Didnt win the division and had the leafs not choked again, they’d be playing the canes.
~FakepartofmeYou cannot possibly be serious. Florida didn’t win the division because Barkov and Tkachuk were injured, Ekblad was suspended for 1/4 of the season, and, quite frankly, they probably coasted for most of the season knowing they could just turn it on at any point in the playoffs.
The Leafs didn’t choke, Florida just pounded them into oblivion like they did to Tampa, like they’re doing to Carolina, and like they’ll do to whoever comes out of the West.
Florida is head and shoulders above just about every team in the league. The Leafs need major upgrades to compete on that level, but there really isn’t much out there in this year’s UFA class that is going to move the needle enough. Marner is gone, but paying him $14M wasn’t going to be the answer either. Next year is likely going to be a step backwards, but I’m curious to see what Tre cooks up.
I get issues on both PC and Android/Brave. I actually have fewer issues on my phone, on PC it logs out all the time, but usually if you refresh the page a few times it works.
I am not sure Willy is a fit on Line 1.. Both he and Mathews are technically shooters..
~AzureOthers have mentioned it, but if Marner dips and we don’t get someone to replace him on line 1, I’m happy bumping Domi up there. He’s had chemistry with Matthews and can grind with Knies to keep teams hemmed in their own end. Domi is a defensive liability, so having him with two above average defenders is a way to insulate him.
As for WN and AM both being shooters, did you see some of the sick passes Willy had this year?!? He had a boatload of assists in the playoffs all while still scoring at pretty much his normal pace. He’d fit fine on Matty’s wing if that’s what Chief decided.
LMFAO, MLSE came up with the Fan Access Program, (FAP). You can’t beat it.
You can’t make this shit up.
Keith Pelley just spewing the same bullshit, but I believe the guy legit wants to win. Glad to hear he’s not hiring someone to replace Shanny.
As expected, Carolina is getting shit on again. Florida is simply on another level. Florida/Dallas final would be great to see!
The cap is going up. That’s not uncertain. It’s already been announced.
~UGThe cap is going up next year, that much is guaranteed. But the rumored increases beyond that were not set in stone, and are almost certainly not going to be as high as originally forecasted. Personally, I don’t want to find the Leafs in a cap-strapped situation like they were during the flat cap Covid era.
