The Official 2026 Off-Season Thread: Revenge of the Nerds

Habs got very lucky that their rebuild coincided with COVID cap freeze, allowing them to weaponize other teams’ cap issues multiple times to get a boat load of picks

If there was ever a time for Auston to put in a legit summer of work, it was this one. Seeing all these guys get paid with his new contract coming up, he has to know it's make or break time for him.

I'm gonna go full Jonas level dramatic and say that this is a make or break year on what I believe he can and will be moving forward. I have faith
 
Yeah I just want 50 goal, 90 point Auston. And tbh, he was that guy in the first half of the 24-25 season until he went to that evil German doctor. He hasn't been the same since. Coincidence?

Even if he’s not prime Auston, and never going to score 70 goals again, which he likely isn’t, his usage and the Leafs style of play the last couple years was insane and ovviiisly detrimental to his game.

I’m actually really excited for a team that has Auston/Willy/McKenna and cares about scoring.

After last season I wasn't sure I'd be very interested in seeing this season start.

Here I am, impatiently counting the days.
