I was caught up in the Marchand fantasy like everyone else, but my rational side kept nagging me saying that contract is going to be such an anchor. And seeing that now, I think it will be a terrible contract.

Is it just me or is $12 mil not that big a deal, and to lock that in for 8 years in a rising cap environment? Marner really, really, really didn’t want to stay with the leafs.

So the Swedish Joe Colborne?

They really f’d up taking the captaincy away from him.

what about find a way to have them both?

I get it - and I’m not really disagreeing as the numbers don’t lie I suppose, but I have a very hard time believing that if he was with the Leafs he would get away with his style of play. He’d be gone in the first round. I also can’t think of any other player that had these crazy reverse...

I agree with you, and he’s he did step up in the playoffs, but, as you mention, he doesn’t really excel at anything and doesn’t really fit in anywhere. I just feel they can do better, and even to get some draft capital back would be nice. But I don’t think there’s much interest in him.

I really hope they find a way to move Domi. And I forgot that Reaves is still under contract.

He’ll jump off the cn tower and his parachute will reveal the team he signed with

Wearing 80s bands tshirts seems to be a thing now. It kinda hurts my soul a bit when I see 15 year olds wearing def leppard shirts and they probably don’t even know that’s a band.

I hope he does a LeBron style ‘decision’ show

Not sure if anyone else heard this, but on the radio this morning they said that the nhl will announce a new cba at the draft, and apparently there’s new rules now to not allow loading up on LTIR for the playoffs.

Yeah don’t you have to be 5 years post retirement to be eligible? Or is that a baseball thing?

Kypreos is such a windbag.

This is like ‘Eklund’ type rumours from back in day. However, I absolutely believe he’s signing in Vegas.

I’m no big fan of Treliving, nor am I defending him, but it sounds like he wanted to but Shanahan didn’t let him.

Almost no one - at the time - thought 7 years x 5.5 was reasonable for Hyman. Key is at the time. And yes, Mrazek’s contract was ridiculous. We don’t criticize that one enough, I’d forgotten about it.

Bunting made 950k per season for the 2 seasons he was with the leafs and had similar production to Hyman. Not sure where the fail is. Maybe the fail was the 4.5mil that Carolina gave him.

Things are going just peachy for team America world police.

I will die on this hill and I don’t care, but they didn’t get rid of Hyman. He was offered a crazy contract and nothing in his performance suggested he was a 5 mil player. He scored 1 goal in each playoff series with the leafs. 5 series. The revisionist history on Hyman is complete bullshit...
