The JT signing isn't all that surprising....

I am more amazed I'm still a mod tbh

Give it up to me. You know you want to.

It’ll help the Wings #Lose4Hughes

I would not complain. At (frank)ing all. Hughes-Larkin-Rasmussen. That’s a really good top three C in potential. Basically what you guys have now but actually all reaching their potentials.

real stretch there Dreger... really going out on a limb

(frank) the bird, give it to me.

And Kadri is a strong 2nd tier...and Nylander/Marner/Marleau can play C if they have to due to injuries...

Remember some of the lineups the Leafs had? Member Tim Connolly? I member.

I remember my first thought when Toronto signed Tim Connolly. "Gross".

I think threw up. No wait, I came. That’s what i meant.
- Steven_Seagull

kinda similar to throwing up i guess

If Dubas gets a D, he can get as (frank)ed up as he wants today.

He doesn't have to do a thing for the rest of the offseason

Okay, nevermind. I want the Avs to get Hughes. 1. Keeps him away from our Division. 2. It’ll be really, really funny.

The comments are almost better than the signing itself. It’s awesome to be the “Evil Empire” again in reality other than in theory. Bring on the hate mofos!

Expectation is Babcock will pair Tavares with Marner and Matthews with Nylander. 1st or 2nd line distinction is irrelevant.

Disgustingly delicious

Just have to say holy poop. I def didnt think it would happen. But I suppose after awhile one of the big dogs from Toronto or whom grew up Leafs fan are bound to sign that ticket home right? Matthews and JT 1 2 is going to be so nice. Congratz Leafs fans, not that you needed it. With or without him you still had tons of talented kids.

Do it hard enough you could accomplish both at the same time. Just better have the vinyl sheets.

I don't know what I want anymore *cries gently*

The worst was when Sabres fans were honest about him and they were right.

(frank) the bird, give it to me.

I was okay with the first half, but the second half is where things went south.

How about a Tavares?

how many top free agents have left under lou's watch?

niedermayer parise tavares? any more?
- daeth

People need to put that myth to bed -- they really do

Bobby Holik, Alexander Mogilny, Jason Arnott...they lost guys like everybody else.

People just humored that old bastard because he was so mean, you had to suck up to him

The hate is so tasty, it's just so tasty it tastes so (frank)ing tasty

biggest free agent signing since david clarkson

That's some disturbing imagery right there

Okay, nevermind. I want the Avs to get Hughes. 1. Keeps him away from our Division. 2. It’ll be really, really funny.
- Steven_Seagull

I’ll be ok with landing the youngest of the three who’s a defenseman who’s tracking at a better rate than Quinn did.

But yeah, Dahlin and Eichel leading a rebuilding Buffalo, Tampa with that stacked team, Boston has Bergy/Ratface/Noodle.. it’ll be a weird division. Also, what the (frank) is going on with Ottawa and Montreal?

Is Tavares a Leaf yet?
- Unholy_Goalie

Yes, idiot

Thanks!

I think even most Leafs fans were convinced he was either going back to the Isles or signing with someone else. We're just not used to good things happening to us.
