Tortorella is a great coach. He’s the Bill Parcells of Hockey.

Any idea how many of the deaths in your town were nursing home deaths?

Simple and obvious despite some clueless posters. Rasmus Dahlin is nominated for the Norris trophy.

Lehner is playing great for VGK. Why can’t we have a goalie like that?

There are virtually no teams with a surplus of good RD and excess cap space and interested in acquiring a high priced Right winger. Buffalo and Toronto make perfect trade partners other than being bitter rivals. I still think it’s more likely Toronto trades us Kerfoot and Kapanen and I doubt Nylander would want to come to Buffalo.

Nylander has an average of 6.9 million while Risto is 5.3 million and is only signed for 2 more years. It definitely saves Leafs cap space.

My timing of the post is impeccable.

They will be unloading some forwards Nylander? Manner? Kerfoot, Kapanen to acquire some Right sided defense. Would you trade Risto for William Nylander? Leafs need to unload cap.

For those of you thinking that Dylan Strome is the answer at 2C..Alex Nylander got more ice time than Strome did last night in a key playoff game.

Most unbiased observers feel that is equal value although I would rather give up Montour than Risto, but I feel Toronto wants Ristos physicality.

Unfortunately I think the team is Toronto with Risto or Montour being traded for Kerfoot and Kapanen. Kerfoot is not really a 2C although he would be on the the Sabres. Toronto needs to shed salary and is desperate for RD.

I would advise everyone to watch “Searching for Sugarman”. It’s a 2 hour documentary true story about a music star. I don’t want to give much away but it’s a heartwarming story on Netflix

If Dubas wants Montour I would do the deal. I think Ralph likes Risto more than Montour.

I don’t want Wayne Simmons. The Cap can be spent on a better G than Allen or a LD

Yes I would prefer to unload Montour instead of Risto, but I'm sure Toronto would rather have Risto since he adds a physical presence they lack.

Toronto is desperate for RD and has forward surplus and cap issues. We can’t worry about rivals. We need to become a legitimate NHL team

I think Toronto moves Kerfoot and Kapanen for Risto. This helps Toronto with the cap. We may have to retain a bit.

NFW. This proposal should get you banished from the board, and I love Cirelli.

There has never been an effective vaccine for a coronavirus.

We will be in cap trouble very soon. We need good young cheap players. You get those by drafting well. Skinner’s and Okposo’s contracts are both brutal in a fixed future cap world.

Well after Cuomo killed off most of the medically fragile in the nursing homes and refused to accept responsibility, the death rate has fallen. I guess that is one way to have a decreasing death rate.

We can’t give up #8 with a flat cap looming. We have no high end young talent on entry level contracts except Cozens

NFW

We essentially have no one who is capable of scoring away from Jack.

Those contracts were all signed with the expectation of a rising cap for the foreseeable future. We now know that is not happening.
