Around the League - Regular Season 2018-19

Re: Around the League - Offseason 2018

I cant figure out how the fook he was a complete bust . Dude has skill but couldnt translate to the NHL from junior.

I wasnt expecting a star but not this hot shit bad. In a draft where there was no superstar this is pathetic for the Oils .

Kevin Lowe and the Edmonton Oilers happened.

Re: Around the League - Offseason 2018

Man, the Leafs really bent the Isles over this off-season. Oof.

I had so many people tell me letting Lou go and going with "A Kid" was a mistake. Dubas is looking pretty darn good right now. Not sure if anyone has started their NHL Gm career with a Calder Cup win as GM and the biggest UFA signing in over a decade.
Even that sudden Mark hunter love was nonsense.(Every team wanted to speak with Dubas not Hunter).

It would be, but it will remain a pipe dream for Leaf haters and nothing else.
 
Re: Around the League - Offseason 2018

You’re not getting it. First you offer sheet Nylander and let them match. Then you offer sheet Marner with $8.1m. Totally cap ****s then if they match that too.

I would absolutely LOVE to see some GM pull off this move on the Leafs. Sadly, I don't think Bergeron has the fortitude and I'm certain our guys down here in Carolina aren't quite that bold. But it's the kind of thing Lamoriello would have pulled in his prime. Maybe McPhee has the stones out in Vegas?

Its a an exercise in futility , the Leafs can easily slot all 3 stud kids with TJ .
 
Re: Around the League - Offseason 2018

It still screws up their plans because those two will cost more than they anticipated.
 
Re: Around the League - Offseason 2018

Kevin Lowe and the Edmonton Oilers happened.

Same thing that happened to RNH and Hall.

Looked great until the Oilers rushed and/or ruined them. Any 19 yr old who can step into the league and score at a 50 point pace should be a lock for being a quality offensive player for the next decade. Only in Edmonton does this get ****ed up like that.

Ummm..we match any reasonable number on all of them. We match most unreasonable numbers on all of them as well. Not sure why people keep wanting or thinking down this JT revenge porn path.

The other thing of course is that only Nylander is available to have an offer sheet dropped on him at the moment. Marner and Matthews are more than likely going to get extended this summer.

My NHL sources tell me a Karlsson deal to Tampa is done, pending a call with the league office. @TSN1200

No confirmation on the report out of Ottawa that a deal is done pending a trade call and while sense is this might be getting close, it's sounds like it's not to that point yet
