Is Babcock even a “good” coach?
All that guy does is get his teams with tons of talent beat in the playoffs

I definitely don’t consider him a “great” coach anymore

Just typical “ra ra Leafs” bullish!t

My version of hell...

Listening to Don Cherry yelp about everything & everyone not Canadian

While Pierre McGuire lets me know where all the guys he’s hating on played high school hockey

And Milbury just fumbles every stupid word he tries to sneak in to make himself try & feel better about being the worst GM all-time

That roster on paper was good enough to finish 2nd in the Metro. They weren’t a typical 8th seed. Bob is getting hot at the right time.

And a pretty deep roster with the trades
They’re coming together at the right time

I thought they were nuts for making those deals
Now I’m hoping for Nick Foligno to be raising the Cup
Would make for one hell of a story

So then what’s the rush to use this late 1st to get rid of Okposo NOW?

I don't expect to have 2 firsts again in the near future to make it happen

I loved the deals they made, especially under their circumstances. Not being a real fan of their team i dont have to care if it all blows up july 1st

Wasnt sure it would work out short term either but wow, havent seen a ton of the western conference but by the eye test they are the best team in the east so far. Hope the layoff doesnt hurt them

I don’t like the idea of overpaying UFAs,
so Okposo’s (admittedly horrible) contract doesn’t hurt us as much imo as it does for others

Bury him like Moulson when the time comes

We missed an opportunity with how we used Okposo this year
Should’ve played him on PP1 all year,
and should’ve played him with Jack

That would’ve pretty much guaranteed at least 20-20-40pts
Then maybe he’d have been movable for less than the 1st

If Skinner walks...
Sheary-Jack-Okposo as the top line next year
No, I’m not kidding
Yes, i know how bad that looks

If we lose Skinner...
(Can’t believe I’m saying this)
It’s probably better to tank again, then it would be to overpay for Hayes & Ferland

That would only cover our loss of Skinner & NOT actually move us forward at all

Would be another nightmare season

We might have to give Seattle an even higher 1st round pick to take okposo over erod or borgen

Spend it now
Unless st Louis loses

Teams were required to protect any contracted players with no move clauses (NMCs) with one of the team's slots for protected players, unless the contract expired on July 1, 2017, in which case the NMC was considered void for the draft.
- jcragcrumple[9][10] Players whose NMCs had limited no trade clauses had to still be protected, and any players with NMCs were able to waive the clause and become eligible for the expansion draft.[9]

See bolded portion

Opkoso contract after the 3rd year changed to a from a limited NMC to a NTC
