I think people aren't giving KA enough credit here. The guy took 3 of the worst hands you could possibly have (Jack injured and demanding out, Sam a year from UFA, Risto a year from UFA after becoming the biggest LOLCOW in the sport) and got an incredible return on all 3 that few people would've thought possible.

He was the one who asked out after the 19-20 season, which led to the disastrous attempts that offseason to make things work. In fact if he didn't ask out I think they would've been far more agreeable to take the risk and allow that surgery.

FPHL Playoffs: #BewareTheHare!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is what Tage feasting on the Leafs next season will look like:

They made out like... Bandits!

Sam for Kulich, Levi and seeing the Laffs go down in flames. This may end up being the greatest trade in Sabres history!

Mood:

Killer Kreb!!!

Fun fact: Since the original 6 era ended if you toss out the bogus covid division the Leafs have won as many division titles (one) as the Hartford Whalers (and if you count WHA they would have iirc 3 more).

Mood:

Did you know 84% of stats are completely made up?

Do you really want that monkey's paw wish and he ends up a Leaf?

What you are seeing with the Devils is why not making the playoffs was a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY bad thing. Getting the first time lump taking out of the way would've been incredibly beneficial.
