Tampa Bay should be livid this somehow transpired. BriseBois is very good, though. The reports refer to Detroit. It's a city. There's no mention of him joining the Red Wings in any capacity.

How about this from Lamoriello today: “There’s no aftermath. Players come and go. It’s different if they had won championships. It’s different if they had had a lot of success. They haven’t done much. It's different if they had any success? That sentence applies to just about everyone involved in the discussion; Toronto, the Isles, and Tavares.

That Aud Smell Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 William Nylander's name was not included on the Leafs' list of those coming to camp. I am fairly sure Reinhart's name was included on the Sabres' list. Anything to see here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fairly sure Reinhart's name was included on the Sabres' list. Anything to see here? Certainly a potential problem for the leafs. They have to sign, Marner, Mathews, Kapanen, and Carrick before July 1st. That is going to suck up a good chunk of cap. Fitting in Nylander this year to a friendly deal is vital. They are at 66mil with only about 7mil coming off next year. 7mil will probably pay for Marner with some left over to fit in Carrick. The cap raise probably takes care of a little too. Matthews is going to want and get 10mil or more. That brings you up to 77 or so million. That's 5million to fit Nylander and Kapanen in depending on the cap increase. That's also not accounting for signing a backup goalie or just regular UFA/RFAs that they need to fill out the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 @MikeInBuffalo @DarrenDreger believes that the Nylander side may be asking for as much as $8 Million on a long-term deal, while the #Leafs may be offering closer to Nikolaj Ehlers ($6 M AAV) or Sean Monahan ($6.375M AAV).

Randall Flagg Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I want to get excited for this, but what's probably going to happen is that Toronto "loses" a young member of their core for like Brett Pesce or something, and becomes a better team for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabel79 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Evidently the terms of his probation include inpatient substance abuse treatment... which is vague enough, could be alcohol or up from there... but not a good look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabel79 Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 More good news: the NHLPA is appealing the suspension. I’m way more pro-union/player than most, but hoo boy this is not the hill to die on. Take the lower-case L and move along... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I have zero belief that Ennis will be on Matthews' wing for any real amount of time, but him resurrecting in Toronto would perfectly encapsulate how everything in their rebuild has worked.

WildCard Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Longstanding notions that younger players don't like playing for Babcock are probably pretty accurate @reporterchris Mike Babcock, on Auston Matthews's desire to have more assists than goals this season: "Well then Willy's got to show up and Willy's got to shoot it under the bar."

pi2000 Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 This TOR situation is a powder keg. Nylander is holding out, AM wants McDavid money, and Babcock is an old school coach who is already starting with the snarky comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
