And suddenly only a game back of leading the division too!

Good start on replacing Marner’s point production by balancing the cap hit across the team to ade depth and spreading the scoring across the lines. Only 102 of the 102 points to go 👍

Yeah I didn't really put much thought into the actual money, just players I'd like to see really!

I'm sad to see him go, and sad with how it went down. I think the blame can be spread around. From a pure watching hockey for entertainment point of view, he was one of the most fun to watch Leafs of all (my) time. Those early years of him, Matthews and Nylander when there weren't the...

I'd be intrigued by Boeser and the other Tanev (though that's partly the romance of having brothers on the team). JVR for league minimum could be a fun one too. I'd also like to see a scoring defenseman brought in, but not sure if that's a free agency thing. Burns is old and not what he was.

The Duchene era was good while it was a possibility

They’ve been fun to watch, too. And I still think there’s room for improvement. Let’s hope it keeps going

I wish he didn’t have to go cos for 82 games a season he is magical to watch. The entertainment he has provided me over the years in 82 game regular season has been off the charts. I think it’s an indictment on the league that he then goes into another style of hockey where his ability to...

Event was a great success, raising over £100,000 for the hospice charity: https://www.belfastgiants.com/news/the-odyssey-trust-hospice-hockey Bit of a story on Sheldon Keefe and his (more successful :LOL: )coach brother: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/ice-hockey/articles/cp8d7mlq3e2o

Kind of replying to these both - I get and agree with what you’re saying OTH. But to then talk a bit to ZBBM’s point, I kind of give him a “pass” for this last season and am more willing to think that he will bounce back and that he is more likely to be a game breaker. I know you’re going...

Thanks for responding, and no problems on the delay 👍🏼 I guess I can see where you’re coming from, but definitely can’t agree. The one thing I’d say, I think a goal scorer is more likely to be impactful if his trump card comes off. If Marners trump card of producing a great play and an unreal...

Can I ask why on Matthews? You may have said so elsewhere so apologies if it’s rehashing stuff. In my view, of the “core 4”, Matthews has (had? hopefully not and last year turns out to be an outlier) probably the biggest trump card of all - he scores goals. And lots of them. And in lots of...

That’s possibly a fair push back. I haven’t looked in detail at cap space, but 3 of the “favourites” for spots for him to land I’ve seen floated are Carolina, LA and Vegas. Going by Puckpedia Carolina have $28m and 3 roster spots to fill, LA $22m and 2 spots to fill. I could see them pay him...

If Marner leaves the Leafs, Marner will win a cup before the Leafs do is my bet.

Keefe’s teams with last seasons goaltending would have made at least the conference final imo.

But the goalies water bottles will be safe again then

David Clarkson has also now been dded to the roster, what a dream ex Leaf contingent this is turning into 😂 If you’ve any questions about things to do when you’re over this way, drop me a note LJ 👍🏼

Maybe Florida are just really good?

The Belfast Giants are doing a charity game in a couple of weekends for the Northern Ireland hospice. The aim is to raise over £100,000 for a charity which provides respite and care to those with terminal illness in their final stages. There is a little bit of Maple Leaf interest. It’s a couple...

In terms of pure entertainment I’d want Marner back. I fear that the narrative driven mostly by media and lapped up by a large number of fans means he won’t be. I know you can’t be going out tapping players up, but I’d be trying to find out via whatever back channels you can if there’s any...
