Or the Leafs could take the next 4 1st round picks of a franchise that has missed the playoffs 6 years in a row, and is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. $15 million payday would force them to sell off anything that isn't nailed down, making the next four years potentially high picks.

Leafs would only be left with Tavares, Nylander, Marner, Kadri, Kapanen and Jeff Skinner as their top 6.

EXACTLY.... If Arizona coughs up their 4 first round picks for a player they can't afford to jump on that.

LOL Whatever bud. I could care less about the Leafs. Dont even care if they win a cup. If they do good for them. I am cheering my team on regardless.

Yes, we know.

How's that coming along?

Put down the crack pipe. This post is proof that crack ruins lives. Number one, AM34 will never make it to July 1 without a contract. Number two, nobody is offering him 15.9M on a max contract with his injury history in his young career. Number three, AM34 would have to SIGN the offer sheet. He wants to win. He is not signing with Arizona until after he has won his cups in Toronto. *drops mic*

I'm not so sure about this one.

So many fans so concerned with the Leafs..Their going to have to make some moves yes...Give it a rest already..

What? Can people only show interest in one team? Many hockey fans cover many teams. I dont in particularly follow every team closely but i follow the big news stuff.

YOu know, like being bipolar. One minute you see the team you expect another you see a team that doesnt belong in the NHL.

How the hell can Toronto fit Stamkos, Skinner, Tavares, McDavid, Mandela and Matthews under the cap?

Given that they are last place in terms of pts % in the East, I'm guessing it's a little more of the latter than the former.

It's wild, wacky times in the East this year.

Flyers are 4 points out of 3rd in the Metro with 3/4 of the season still to play.

I get the feeling that the standings are going to be like a blender this year - everyone twirling around, and you'll just have to see who comes out on top (I realize that analogy doesn't quite work - dammit!).

People say that was a dumb signing by the Leafs, but he has the respect of players around the league.

“He is one of the most known athletes in the world and a lot of impact in any kind of sport that he did. Even playing hockey, everyone knows him. From being the type of person he was off the ice and on the ice. But you know he changed a lot while he was with us. He’s a tremendous guy.”

There will be no discount from Matthews. I hear Arizona is going to offer the MAX contract next year, which this year is 15.9 million. They have alot of youth and Matthews would be a perfect fit to play in in home state. He would make them a contender. Wouldn't the NHL just love that. It would save Hockey in the desert.

Are you hearing this from your sources?

Can you please talk some sense into your boy... this is getting stupid now lol
- Burkefection

There is one in every family...

This poop gives me headaches.

Yeah everyone arguing about the cap, but did anyone read..."Skinner AND prospects"?

I am assuming that means Brycen Martin and nothing more.

Probably have to buy out Rick Nash

Ek made it up, so who cares

Take the 4 1st round picks from Arizona all day every day

Dermott is ready for top 4 mins.

Liljegren is also ready. 2 years in the minors now getting better every game.

Sandin is not far away despite being drafted last year.

I could see a pick and a forward being moved for a cheap cost effective dman.
- legendguy

Dermott I buy. Actually really impressed by him. Kind of hoping Guhle is our Dermott. Sandin could be very good as well, just don't think he'll be ready by then. Lily is fine. Still one short in my eyes, but maybe you're right about Sandin.

Could you be right? Of course.

If there's one thing you do care about, it's the Laffs.

It's the Laffs. Member, the league is biased towards them and let's them do whatever they want. One rule for the Laffs, one for everyone else?

That's how

Nah its 75/25. Problem is they typically dig a hole in the first 20 mins and then start playing in the 2nd. You cant start a game down 2 or 4-0 and expect to come back and win. PK and PP need to be better.
