Same. He might not max out, but he’s getting the biggest cap hit in the league on his next deal. As he should.

Villeneuve, too. Not a huge risk he gets picked up, but he is a young puckmoving RHD with decent size...

The Athletic's system is one of the better ones for this kind of stuff. They're generally more accurate and data driven factoring multiple years of individual performances. Meanwhile, HockeyViz has Reimer playing more than 1/4 of the Leafs' games, and he's not even signed to a real contract...

In the bottom of the 9th and lose the game, specifically. Second team do it in either half of the ninth and lose the game.

First real monster deal from the new cap reality. Kaprizov is good, but this is an insane amount of money. $3M more on the cap than the next highest deal.

Is it still disastrous if the Leafs win the Cup this year? Or next year? What if that cap space is what helps them sign McDavid? I don't think we can say it's certain to go down as disastrous. It absolutely has that potential, but, it very much has potential to go the other way. We can say for...

That's it in a nutshell - actions speak louder than words. Marner may have said he wanted to stay, but many of his actions over the course of the last year and a half point to a player with one foot out the door. It was clear early in the season something was off with him - not so much in his...

I think the Jays bats have woken up.

Reasonable. I approve of this deal.

Yeah. Leafs have cap space (especially if/when Kampf is waived) and it's only $800K once he's buried in the AHL when Woll gets back.

At least most/all of camp, based on the fact it's a PTO and not an actual contract. Was wondering if they'd look to add a veteran #3 regardless of Woll's status. Thought they might consider claiming Ingram if Woll was going to miss real time.

They don't. The playoff loophole has been tightened significantly (also, Florida needs to shed salary at some point to activate Tkachuk off LTIR - if Barkov is out longer than that, they get to kick that can down the road some, but, it basically leaves them with their hands somewhat tied if he's...

Easier to control their matchups.

At least they’re not going all the way down to the wire. They’ve given us time to accept it. And, it’s not even the biggest collapse in the league this season, so that’s nice.

I mean, that does seem on brand for them.

Doubtful be gets start in the LDS, but LCS and WS, he might be the #4, if the Jays get there’s. unless Yesavage kills it again.

Yeah. I get that. He's played it up a lot, but, I just don't believe he'd be willing to put his life even remotely at risk like that. Shots were definitely fired and someone was killed. That's enough for me to believe the attempt was real. The injury, though? Likely not from a bullet but from...

I don't know about that - I think the attempt was real, but the damage Trump suffered was not from the bullet (considering how quickly he recovered, lack of obvious scaring, etc.) or it really barely grazed him. The photo of the supposed bullet zipping past him, though . . . that always felt...

It's definitely about if he wants to stay and for how long he wants to commit. Oilers will definitely give him the max if he wants it, but does he want to commit to them long-term if he decides it's not time to move on?

They certainly read like something out of a bad romance novel. They could absolutely be real, but it would not surprise in the slightest to find out they're fake/doctored/etc. It's just too neat and tidy.
