Watching away broadcasts is always fun. Calgary guys just said that Carlo's been a real stabilizing force for the Leafs and that Myers has big offensive potential... I wish.

Well not really, only in the sense that that's been a thing here for awhile so we should be used to that. The two seasons before this Nylander and Marner were really our only two full-time righties, with Jarnkrok and Reaves in and out of the line-up for injury/performance reasons. The only other...

I really don't get their aversion to playing Benning. Not like it would really matter ultimately I guess.

Pridham's reportedly the highest paid non-GM executive in the NHL so I have a hard time believing his roles and responsibilities on the team haven't significantly expanded over the past 11.5 years. Especially when deciphering the CBA isn't exactly as rare (and therefore valuable) of a skill as...

I don't think moving Domi should necessarily be impossible, he can still be a productive offensive player in the right conditions. It's just that finding those right conditions is incredibly difficult. So if there is a right fit somewhere out there (and maybe that could be Dallas) the return...

I'm fully expecting us to finish bottom-5 but get bounced out of that pick with someone winning the lottery.

Are you assuming that Jim Nill has secretly already been hired by the Leafs for next season and is sabotaging the Stars for Toronto's benefit?

As painful as it is... we're cheering for losses now. So good job team.

Yeah I was thinking about that yesterday. I think the fan dream is offering up a boatload of money to Jim Nill, who's contract expires at the end of this season. That would obviously have to be an offseason move though. Trying to poach a non-GM from another team would also likely have to be an...

I actually don't really disagree with the idea that Pridham's "future GM" potential is probably overstated, but I do think his experience in the league (and the connections he's with that) make him the best/only candidate to fill in on an interim basis at least.

I like the idea of letting them both go when the break starts. National media is away, ever so slightly lessening the circus that will cause. Lalonde can easily take over as interim head coach pushing that conversation into the offseason. Team would have 3 weeks to put a new GM in place, or they...

Oh, yeah, I'm stupid. Got it mixed up. Both are colossally bad then.

I still don't think the Carlo trade was THAT bad. I mean a top-4 RHD signed at just under $3.5mil on 3 playoffs runs for a 1st round pick feels pretty fine on paper, even if Carlo hasn't quite met expectations. If Grebenkin explodes into a legit contributor it could turn into overpayment...

Looking ahead to next season, free agency has obviously dried up significantly. I'd love to finally get my hands on Nick Schmaltz though, a frequent trade candidate from Arizona/Utah. Speedy, playmaking centre/winger. He'd almost be a perfect fit for 2C: gives Nylander a playmaking centre for...

Obviously Quillan should be playing. Best way to look at this is that it's hopefully just for the purposes of getting Jarnkrok into more trade conversations.

Unfortunately the league no longer allows those double retention type deadline deals. It was changed in the new CBA (and one of the rules that went into effect this season) that a player can't be dealt with retention twice in a 75-day period. Otherwise yeah we could have secured some picks...
