After appearing to be selling the farm for a rebuild at the deadline, do we think Nashville has done a complete 180 by throwing money and term at O'Rielly and Schenn? It's a bit of a headscratcher.

Trotz on Schenn: NYI vs TBL playoffs
"I thought we were starting to take the series over in the bubble. We were the physical team. We were the team that had that identity where we were getting under Tampa's skin. We were pushing some of the key guys maybe out of the series and getting momentum, and Luke was a guy that recognized that and, to me, changed the whole series. He came over and established a presence. He has a great way to identify those moments."

If his hometown team was the Senators or Wild or he would have been back with the same collection of players but not the additional circus around the team

It's the Leafs and if he can't handle it he shouldn't be here anyway. Honestly I'm really tired of hearing this as if the Leafs are the only team in sports with media attention.

Sure, but when you're in the twilight of your career you might want less pressure...especially on a substantial deal.
If you're Gio and you sign for peanuts, you don't really feel the same pressure.
I get it...if he signed a $4m deal in Toronto, there'd be pressure. He's declining in performance right?
