[Kritter]

100% idiotic

Two different assets, available a year apart, with different costs, expectations and time horizons

enough with these common sense approaches

I was rereading this thread.

I was against the hiring, but I am liking what he has done so far.
Just don't fuck up the draft next week.

Rumour is that the McKenna camp is already politely telling teams that the Leafs are taking him when they approach for interviews.

I think draft day is just going to be a party.

Watching the draft lottery replays is my new go to entertainment.

At todays market 5 million is a #4-5 type. I think that's beyond worst care scenario.

It’s also telling how the focus is on the downside risk and not the potential upside of an In his prime #1 d signed for 3m below market.

 

[Preston]

Sounds like he's not done changing the D. He really hated the corps that Tre built.

 

[hockeylover]

keeps saying they're going to continue to evaluate the D and try to improve.

sounds good.

 

[Artnes]

Other team fan reactions get me. The heartbreak to anger in matter of seconds is satisfying

The Vancouver show is hilarious. Especially the livestream comments.

 

[hockeylover]

"possible but not probable" to improve by trading a top young player like knies, but it "makes for good writing" suggests they're just listening like any good GM would.

 

[Preston]

Poured a lot of cold water on the Knies rumors. LOF can breathe.

 

[Volcanologist]

looks like Raddysh went from the top UFA dman available to overrated aging 1 year wonder piece of crap faster than you can say Leafs win lottery

It was always unlikely that the return required for Chayka in a Knies deal existed
