Fits the Hurricanes at a nice price; I don't think it gets them past the Leafs, let alone the Panthers though.

Mark Giordano knows how to make an appearance.

Gio! Friendly fracas

I think he is a coach’s dream (other than not being 6’4” all day), and I think coaches that are trying to win can’t help themselves but overuse him. He’s a one-stop-shop for just about everything a coach wants accomplished on the ice that’s not forecheck-1. I’m not saying he’s not good for all...

Isn't Cowan the Konecny at home? (unless he is parlayed into a 2C)

Oooh, okay, yeah that makes sense, now that I understand your statement. I think you're right; biggest net talent drop off sure. But I also think his importance was a bit overstated because of deployment, which seems like a coaching decision, but given everything else we've heard feels like...

Futures primarily, as they’re looking to save cap space. Rantanen replaces/d Robertson’s role.

Uh, Matthews? Even Nylander is climbing up there. I don't care nearly as much about assists. Treliving, when hired, noted he wanted more of a team and less emphasis on the Core 4 thing. Berube noted the same thing when hired. Players in exit interviews noted the same thing. The Florida...

I think he means the older, better brother

I, for one, wanted to trade him before the NMC so the team could have a better chance at balancing the lineup, and get rid of the negotiation cycle, and give Marner some peace to find joy in the game again. I was pretty sure a sign and trade could be done in an amicable fashion (he could’ve...

He doesn't want a couple weeks to plan where to go?

Have you ever seen a contract that was designed specifically for a pump and dump?

Beauties

MLSE doesn't have a biotech division and maybe they ought to (like China and Russia selectively breeding for Olympians)

If I actually worked for the Leafs, we wouldn't be in this situation lol The off ice stuff affects the on-ice product. Consider the brain space spent dealing with the Marner camp uses up; multiple really good Toronto players who wanted to commit here got boxed out (while Marner's camp publicly...

I think Winnipeg was a bit of a drama llama during Ehler's two contracts (Evander Kane, Patrik Laine all having run-ins with Scheifele and Wheeler; Byfuglien jumping ship as well). Ehler's is probably eyeballing Minnesota (this would be hilarious) or Utah or Seattle. Everyone's always happy...

Talent out the door, yes; I have a different opinion on the level of utility being lost here, but still there is a loss nonetheless. To say it's the best Leaf player being lost for virtually nothing is a stretch, though; maybe you are more flexible than I am. But I think this makes the Leafs a...

Dreger is reporting that Ehlers wants a quiet landing spot and Winnipeg was even considered a bit too much.

2026-27 salary cap is currently projected at 104M, which is another 8.5M on top of this season's. So let's say we want to offer 16M to entice a hometown veteran to play for the Cup alongside Matthews and Nylander, it's not too hard to clear out 7ishM (Domi + OEL or Woll, who knows what the sheet...
