  1. My concern with Matthews is not he got drunk and stupid. That can happen. But his thought seemed to be and main concern was how it was going to effect him personally rather than show any thought or concern for the person involved. The very next day had he gone to the person involved and acknowledged how foolish he was and ashamed sincerely apologized I suspect this would have not even be a issue today.  
    This will be a non factor as the season progresses but it clear he will not be captain and shouldn’t be.

    He spoke with who?  Ownership of this unknown team?  I have no idea who Joey Vandetta is.

    That what I said to you . He spoke with owner of team he wished not reveal . That said ownership deciding now to proceed or no. Joey Vandetta a media personality .

    If they're willing to go 4-1sts, can't see a reason (other than it being Bergevin) why they didn't go to at least 2-1sts+ in their Aho offer.

    It said Montreal looked into Braydon Point as other teams have and was told he wanting to work out something with his current team and would not sign a offer sheet.  It being said the four most likely teams be eastern conference teams just speculation for Marner are the Devils, Flyers, Buffalo , Montreal. As Mitch did would he decline these teams. 

    Just imagine the buzz in Buffalo  .

    TOR has $11m in cap space for Marner and Kerfoot.   Barrie is an UFA next season. 

    Leafs would have $11.1 million plus Nathan Horton roster exemption of  $5.3 million totaling $$16.4 million to use for signing remaining players. Currently .  Still a tight squeeze

    That was awesome.

    I freaking love this kid. 

    He knows we need him desperately and is going to come down from the fortress of solitude in the far North like Superman and raise everyone up.

    I think the hockey gods may finally let us out of our richly deserved Black Sunday/tanking 13 years in the hole sentence.

     

    Separately:  the Dom-era Sabres had a winger named Geoff Sanderson, who was from Hay River, NW Territories (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hay+River,+NT,+Canada/@60.8479943,-124.8979038,5z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x53c58eb5ea20b66d:0x496a27b76b46d0ea!8m2!3d60.816218!4d-115.7853653?hl=en).  He was one of the fastest guys the Sabres have ever had -- legend has it that he developed his speed to keep safe from the polar bears.  To my knowledge, Sanderson was, until Cozens, the Sabre from the most remote hometown.

    (BTW, I find it a bit interesting that the NW Territories are East of the Yukon.)

    The clouds are lifting.  It's going to get better now.

    Carry on. 

    The natural beauty is awesome to say the least

    The most recent Leafs offering, I believe, was $11M/8 years for Marner, which he rejected because of term. There is no way he takes the money Nylander took

    My point being that the issue will be a protracted one . It’s about term Marner wants same term as Matthews at five years. Of course it’s not about Nylander money. Marner would accept $10 @ 5 years but no way at 8 years. As said they will wait to see about offer sheet. After will come the handwringing . Much about money offered or not offered just media supposition 

    wrong thread for this should be about coming excellent young Sabre
