Salary cap floor?

I was wondering what the hold up on signing Pare was.

I think it has to wait until Jan 1

Rielly's weakness at the top of the umbrella is his decision-making speed; he's too slow slinging the puck back to a dangerous option. I think Rielly is quite dangerous coming down hill (esp weakside), which is probably not the ideal situation from the top of the umbrella down the middle as the...

More puck moving defense enables depth lines to produce better, especially when those depth lines don't have their own consistent transition/possession driver.

Thrun will reunite with Matt Benning and probably take one some of the harder minutes for the Marlies. There’s a big stack of actual NHLers, potentials, and projects down there waiting for the inevitable break down in the Leafs aging d corps. Barring a trade, it’d make sense to give Danford a...

Excellent I was wondering how long it’d take after that little interview he gave.

Profiles of the newly drafted prospects are percolating. Tinus Luc Koblar The Athletic, PPP Tyler Hopkins The Athletic, PPP William Belle PPP Harry Nansi PPP Ryan Fellinger Matthew Hlacar

Would’ve been interesting if the Leafs got one or both. Howard told the Lightning he would not sign with them, which he subsequently did with Edmonton

Gunnarwolfe Fontaine at long last! True nerds will recall him from the 2019 Dev Camp list of invites. Very Dubas-y. Reese Johnson was on an NHL deal last season (MIN trade for Future Considerations) and DNQ’d.
