French Collection

It will be around $10M, I think. He loves the team and realizes how a discount can help but I doubt he accepts making Darnell Nurse/ Seth Jones money while being an actual Norris candidate.

Bergeron and Marchand were underpaid for their careers but they wanted to be there and wanted the team to afford more players.

I know careers are short but Tavares, Matthews and Marner all making around $11M limits them so much. They are among the top paid in the league, on one team. You would pyjama boy would play in Toronto for free the way he fought back tears when signing. Matthews is all about the money, I doubt he has any loyalty to Toronto. Marner didn’t want to make less than those two after leading the team in scoring for a few years. Nylander holding out half a season is out of his Dad’s playbook. Back to your point on TNT and Cozens, the team was smart to lock them up early and the players didn’t try to bleed the team for every last penny.

Frosted Flakes over here, they’re great!

I think VO and a draft pick can procure a 4D. Casey has way more value to Buffalo going forward.

Sabres are building a more balanced lineup. Dahlin and Power are better than any Leaf’s D. Leafs have tried many different guys in net, never able to find or grow their own true #1. Spending most of their cap on 4 forwards limits their depth and rounding out the lineup. Being Toronto their big 4 took all the money they could get, not taking a bit of a discount to have a better team.

ESPN guy saying that Kraken PP needs to feed Sprong, he’s got the big shot. 21 goals this year. McCann has 40, maybe give him the puck.

2-0 Jets in the second.

A lot of them may need more than 4 to numb the pain.

If Hedman and Cernak are out then they will be calling someone up. Bogo is their 7D.

$500-1000 for one seat, $200 for the Samsonov jersey, $80 for 4 beer and $30 for parking. Priceless! The jersey ends up in the 45 gallon drum on fire in the concourse.

Remember when many here(myself included) wanted to get Cirelli from Tampa due to their cap issues. Solid 2 way C who can contribute offensively, kill penalties and win key draws. Krebs can be that guy with another step in development. Cirelli is 6’0 189 lbs, same size as Krebs. Cirelli’s best season is 44 points.

Brayden Point has a better points per game ratio in the playoffs than the regular season. That is RARE.

Guys like Stamkos, Point block shots in the playoffs. Nylander avoids body contact like the plague.

Hey Dumbass, instead of spending 60% of your cap space on your top 4 forwards you get a goalie. Then again, keep doing what you’re doing, I love watching your team lose.

They are burdened with the pressure of losing so many playoff series's

Once he has established himself in a role, he will have some stature. Sometimes the leadership, intangibles and looking after details can increase one’s stature above better players.

I laugh at the comments like nobody wants a Cup like this city (Toronto). All the other cities are just happy to be in the NHL.

Tampa is playing playoff hockey so far, Leafs are nervously squeezing their sticks. Vasi sat out the last 3 games so he is rested.

Good points. The trajectory of this team is upward and with some continued improvement and a bit of luck they can win a Cup. Does he want to be a bottom 6 guy on a winner or a top 6 guy on a mid level or bottom team? Top teams first two lines are tough to crack. He has a ways to go in development before he looks like top 6 NHL talent.

2-0, that will shut up some of those Leafs nation loudmouths.

Leafs down early. Grind line gets a dirty goal.

Part of it is intimidation and part of it is wearing down your opponent. Everyone that gets to the final knows it is a war of attrition.

How do you pronounce your name, Keevine?

That is a huge disparity on the PK. If they had Anderson level goaltending for only a couple of games they make the playoffs. They just missed. That level of goaltending for a season and they are challenging Tampa for third place. That would be awesome if he and the coaching staff decide that is his niche and develop it. He could be a long term member in that way.
