Sorry guys. The fact that Bissonnette is predicting this lowers the odds

The odds can't be lowered. It's destiny.

Matty will be extended next year and not a factor here. McDavid will go UFA. Werenski, hard to say.

I am ok with that happening.

 

[MindzEye]

I am grudgingly okay with that.

 

[UWHabs]

If you sign McDavid, though, how will you afford to pay 4th liners 4m+?

 

[Volcanologist]

you can't, which is why only 2 year terms were handed out

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

I’m skeptical McDavid goes from one fishbowl to another but it’s possible

 

[Leafin']

He’s coming home. Fuck off

Liking seeing all of these Marlies getting rewarded with new deals. There has to be a reward for your AHL team winning a ‘chip.

Villeneuve also has to feel better about his chances of getting some NHL games with both the shift in philosophy and his former Marlies coach being in charge of the D with the Leafs now.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

The reward is to stay in the AHL forever apparently.

Kinda hoping Gruden goes to bat for Villy and he gets a real look this year.
