Youre exactly right. Leaf fans are mocking Isles fans for being bitter when in reality if it happened to them theyd be reacting the same way. He led the Isles on making them believe that he wanted to be there and then he handcuffed them to the point where he just walked away without them retaining any assets in return. Incredibly selfish thing to do after that organization drafted you, gave you an opportunity and you spit in their face. He straight up snaked them. You guys have a right to be upset, if little Austin did that Leaf fans would be crying until the cows came home

Yeah its all Leaf fans
So butthurt

The Cyborg will get bottom pair minutes I think

Voynov.

Vaynov or Naynov?

Havent been able to comment on the JT hoopla because I've been away for the weekend.

So here it is.







Congrats Toronto. As much as (Lots of) you guys thought you could do it last year, I never gave you a chance.

And as much as you guys think you can do it this year.............

Yeah, I give you a chance. A big one.

I'm almost happy he signed with you guys just so we dont have to hear about another big name free agent always somehow landing there (But never landing there)

A jokes aside. Leafs are arguably the deepest team in the league at Centre now and With a the addidtion of one more blue liner be it now, during the season or the deadline, You guys are essentially right there.


Your team is not as dislikeable as they were a decade ago. They're young, fast and fun. Your fans are still a pain in the side but the team aint too bad

Not to mention the old regime vs the new is night and day in terms of the way the franchise is run.


Good luck, ladies and gents. Could be a fun few years in TO

Cheers.

Ok....... But what are your ideas for the lineup ?

5m for slow poke Joe?
San Jose can keep him

Also, the Marleau contract was stupid and cost us JVR.

JVR signed for 7 million a year for 5 years. Would much, much, much rather have JVR during his prime years (and no poopty 6th and 7th year either) than Marleau right now on his last legs.

JVR, Tavares, Marner, Matthews and Nylander on the PP.

Decent value for a 2nd line center for a playoff team that needs one. Leafs didn't.

If Tavares took 3rd liners and made them 30-40 goal scorers, imagine how JVR would look beside Tavares, especially on the PP.

Just sayin'

without Marleau, JT possibly doesn't sign here.
Marleau was the first one to make the step to join leafs to win a cup.
Tavares spoke extensively with Marleau before making that decision.
As well, JVR sucks defensively - I never liked him that much to begin with.

when is Leafs management going to do anything in free agency??

Marleau reportedly was an essential part of the pitch to Tavares ... helped him get over the hesitancy surrounding leaving a team you've played with for so long.

Leafs have depth on the wing. Not so much at centre.

We would't be able to keep JVR even if Marleau wasn't here. The term of 5 years is too long. Wouldn't have any money left to fill out the lineup once Marleau is gone.

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

niedermayer parise tavares? any more?

Kovalchuk (retired)

Don't say anything.

Right. Hes a Leafs fan that trolls Leafs fans. What kind of garbage is that

1st PP unit

Matthews Nylander Marner Johnsson Rielly

2nd unit

Kadri Tavares Kapanen Gardiner Dermott

Hey guys,

You're feeding it again. Please stop.

Absolutely you could. Martin, Hyman and Brown make 6.85 combined. Get rid of them and replace them with ELC players.
