Sandin is what the Leafs need, a puck moving mobile D man. If Cowan works out its still a good trade though.

We don't know if it was Marner. 88 could have been traded at that time as well.

You need to be a hybrid team. A team that can play anyway. I'm not sold on Tre or Berube because they love size more then anything. Tre loves the tall trees on D, but like many have said, they aren't great at moving the puck. That's kind of important. As for Berube, he had a very good year...

Not a chance you're getting a 1st. Maybe a 3rd/4th tops.

Don't see Marner going to the Peg. I think he goes west coast or south where the air is warm. That's where I'd go.

Buying out and paying Rielly until the end of the 2034/35 season is a bad idea. Retaining 2.5M or even half 3.75M in a trade is a better move and you're ahead of the game if you want to get rid of him that bad. Either way poor asset management. When Rielly signed his deal, it was not an...

I never said I disliked Dreger or anyone else. I asked for a source that stated he was offered and turned down 13.5x8. There isn't one. Speculation, just like some insider guy saying Marner will be traded 100% last off season, means nothing. Not defending 16 but he said from last summer he is...

Be stunned if the Canes can beat them but Freddie will Freddie at some point.

Agree. That was a horrible call and don't blame March for going after him.

Source? That was pure speculation driven by the media, aka Dreger. Anything with the words "I Think" is not a source.

Facts don't lie and I got tired a few years back of reading people saying Dubas screwed us with all these NMCs so I checked it out and it simply isn't true. He did nothing new to the Leafs. Too much money, bad trades, is a different debate.

Is it really any of our business? It's not and say Matthews has back issues, that will never go away likely so why tell your opponents about it? He didn't miss 15 games for nothing. Clearly he was hurt most of the year. Just saw this little tidbit.....enough said. He had a small run-in with a...

McDavid, Crosby, Malkin, Pasta, Barkov, B Tkachuk, Stamkos, Hedman, Tavares, Toews, Kane, Getzlaf, Perry all had NMCs in year 5, the final year for most, of their 2nd deal. Malkin had a NMC in all 5 years. Tavares signed a 6 year deal and had protection the last 2. McD/Tkachuk got theirs in...

Nobody said that. The issue is not trying someone different then what was put out there game after game.

I said it has to do with the level aimed at him.

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.
