I don't think he has an issue being criticized. I think it's the level of criticism towards him that he's fed up with. CJ put a story out today how people were throwing stuff on his lawn after the Montreal loss. Someone posted his home address online. Getting harassed is where shit gets way...

Money wise, yes. The NMCs weren't out of the norm when our RFAs signed their 2nd deals.

What they should be reserved for and who gets them are two different stories. You need a NMC to usually sign higher end UFAs. Tanev, JT.

All the high end guys will always get NMCs. That's standard practice now. What you don't do is give NTCs to your secondary players like Domi, Kampf, Jarnkrok.

Leafs want him, but at a certain price point. It's going to be a very interesting month and a bit to July 1 to see what happens.

Well stated.

Kampf and Jarnkrok need to go. You can't keep those guys because they kill penalties at 4.5M. They offer little else. Anybody willing to skate can be used on the PK.

Yup. Be careful what you wish for. That's a lot of points out the door and even more if JT leaves. Add in 16s defensive game and that's a huge hole to fill. Going to be interesting to see where they go. I know what I would try.

I'd re-sign Marner and trade 88. Tavares at a discount is a no brainer. Still a very good 2C

Fla wore them out. I wasn't that disappointed with him even tho his play dropped off.

The NHL is the only league that punishes talent. This crap about being two different seasons is a load. Penalties should always be called the same regardless of the game. There's a rule book...follow it.

Couldn't agree more. Love his skill on offence, hate everything else. Doesn't battle for pucks, wont take a hit to make a play, is a pylon in his own end, cheats D for offence. That shit doesn't work in the playoffs. McDavid used to be horrible at playing D until it clicked in that he needed...

Leafs have not had an issue of defending in the playoffs. It's lack of scoring that kills them. You need to sign the right players to add to the depth, not waste it on guys that offer nothing offensively. Everybody says the top lines neutralize each other The depth guys are the ones making the...

The Leafs 3rd line is around $6M. Leafs also wasted 5.8M on Kampf, Jarnkrok and Reaves. You telling me the Leafs couldn't get better value from that money in the bottom 6?

Panthers in 6.

Dallas in 6.

Not just 16. They had the chance to trade 88 as well and Shanny said no.

Fla had 15 different goal scorers in this series. Leafs had 10 and 1 was Robertson. Depth scoring is huge whether you care to admit it or not. You don't think it mattered that Laughton or Lorentz couldn't burying one of those chances in the 1st period last night? Look at their 3rd line compared...

Unless they offer him ridiculous money, I don't think he wants a long term deal here until he sees the direction they're going. 34 has 3 more years or maybe less if Marner goes. Who knows? Goal scoring wise yes, but not anything else. He never got his shot going literally all year. Something's...

You need depth scoring to win in the playoffs. It's really that simple but getting the right guys is key. Berube gets a failing grade from me. The bottom 6 couldn't score for the most part. Would it have really hurt to try a guy like Steeves on the 3rd/4th line? All he did was score on the...
