I never thought I’d say this, but I just watched a fly poo.

not sure why i woke up at 2:30am but...

TAVARES

ok back to bed

wait just one more thing. imagine tavares with marner getting soft matchups since matthews draws the checkers. holy poop

Imagine the Leafs sign Thornton and Neal to 1 year deals?

Marleau-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Johnsson-Kadri-Kapanen
Neal-Thornton-Brown

Basically guaranteed to have a line going at any given time.

Tavares sign yet???











Yes he fuk'n did b'ys..






woooooooooooo............

There are 8 centres in the NHL who have scored at least 30 goals in 2 of the last 3 seasons...

The Leafs have 3 of them...

Twitter (oil fans) says he isn't top 15 centre in the NHL. It's a pretty entertaining thread.

CGY and James Neal were working late into the night on a five year deal. Assuming it got done — it was headed in that direction but nothing official as of yet — it will be an AAV of around $5.75M.

Oil fans are a salty bunch. Saying Leafs wont make the playoffs next year cause they didnt sign defensemen when there really wasn't one.

How cute, they believed the Leafs weren’t getting JOHN TAVARES so they assumed we’d trade another 2nd for him. TOO BAD HABTARDS. NO SOUP POUR TOI. kunts.

How is everyone's collective hangover?

Yes a young team that made the playoffs and almost to the second round while adding a superstar center won't make the playoffs

No wait, that’s every other fan base.

An did Lou ever have a rough day yesterday. Loses Tavares then signs a bunch of duds.

Lou is good at being a hatchetman but his player analysis is well past its prime. Figures for a 75yo.

Leafs are in good hands with Kyle

Meh - what are you going to do?

The Leafs got better, it is what it is, time for any other team to respond and try and 'level the playing field'.

John Moore for 5 years is not a good start

Matthews: 8 years at 9.5mln --> 76million contract - similar to JT.
Marner: 8 years at 8.25 million --> 66million contract
Nylander: 8 years at 7.25million --> 58million contract

25 million for the young star forwards.
11 million for Tavares
6.25 for Marleau
4.5 for Kadri
2.25 for Hyman
2.1 for Brown
1.5 for Kapanen
1.3 for Johnsson

that's total of 53.8mln for forward group 10 players (going after coming season).
Add 3 guys at 1million; 57million rounded.

5 million for Freddy and 1.5million for a backup.

63.5million.
Assuming cap goes to 82million season after nexty, that leaves 18.5million for defense.

Rielly: 5million
Zaitsev: 4.5million
Dermott: 1million

that's 10.5 million for those 3 d-men.

8million left for 4 d-men for the 2019-2020 season (after which Marleau is off the books).

That's quite doable.

Yes to KD.

That was his toughest job done to perfection so far. Sets the team up for success long-term by not only landing JT, but setting the salary expectations for all the kids while giving them a standup guy (who's also Babcock fan) to learn from.

Remember when our leadership group on the ice was Phaneuf/Kessel/Bozak/JVR?

Someone in the buffalo thread suggests to offer sheet Nylander for 8 million a year. They think the leads will match and not take the compensatory draft picks..
- Aaron_85

Did they actually think Nylander would sign said offer sheet?

Why what happened yesterday?

Oh ya...Canada day

It's wild looking at the 2015 leafs roster How fast did they turn the leafs around. Like from worst to contender.
