Salary cap floor?

I was wondering what the hold up on signing Pare was.

I think it has to wait until Jan 1

Rielly's weakness at the top of the umbrella is his decision-making speed; he's too slow slinging the puck back to a dangerous option. I think Rielly is quite dangerous coming down hill (esp weakside), which is probably not the ideal situation from the top of the umbrella down the middle as the...

More puck moving defense enables depth lines to produce better, especially when those depth lines don't have their own consistent transition/possession driver.

I'll agree with that. The Leafs dressing room no longer needs a pure vibes guy to dispel any weird tensions to keep things light and fun.

He was looking for the backdoor tap in. I also completely forgot we had Martin Jones.

Thrun will reunite with Matt Benning and probably take one some of the harder minutes for the Marlies. There’s a big stack of actual NHLers, potentials, and projects down there waiting for the inevitable break down in the Leafs aging d corps. Barring a trade, it’d make sense to give Danford a...

Excellent I was wondering how long it’d take after that little interview he gave.

Profiles of the newly drafted prospects are percolating. Tinus Luc Koblar The Athletic, PPP Tyler Hopkins The Athletic, PPP William Belle PPP Harry Nansi PPP Ryan Fellinger Matthew Hlacar

Would’ve been interesting if the Leafs got one or both. Howard told the Lightning he would not sign with them, which he subsequently did with Edmonton

Gunnarwolfe Fontaine at long last! True nerds will recall him from the 2019 Dev Camp list of invites. Very Dubas-y. Reese Johnson was on an NHL deal last season (MIN trade for Future Considerations) and DNQ’d.

Whoa whoa whoa, he played like crap after holding out, but it wasn’t because he was out of shape; he was behind on game speed and also a bit slower on his skates because he got too jacked from only working out without the calorie burn of playing games (per Auston Matthews)

Which begs the question: what are they saving space for? And if it’s holding up a potential RH C/W with scoring and speed, what higher priority could that be? Or is it just trying to maximize the return on the cast offs?

Final 32 Thoughts Podcast of the season Leafs-related: (copy/paste from iOS transcription, with spelling edits by me, or summary) “I think [the Marner stuff] just became too much of a distraction. I had a player tell me this week that it was just that when the trade deadline was done and they...

McBain did not file. Byram, client of our good friend Darren Ferris, is fishing openly for an offer sheet.

Negligent of his agent if he doesn’t. I wonder if there are some players on the arb list that shake free
