He'll be even worse

I'm sure the trolls are laughing, saying that Dubas needs to be tough as nails, like crafty old veteran Lou.

Except, you know, Lou didn't hold down salaries a single dollar in his time here in Toronto.
- Atomic Wedgie

Yeah but the players were perfectly shaved.

And THAT made a big difference.

Sheer genius.

They acquired Patrick Marleau to make the team more attractive to Mitch Marner, increasing the odds of them signing him to an offer sheet, AND acquire Toronto's first rounder so that they're really only losing 3 when he does sign.

Their scrotums also have to be perfectly shorn.

Lou, it turns out, is also kinky.

What's worse is that by doing this, they prevent us from offer-sheeting Aho, because they have our 1st rd pick.
Dubas got hustled

Naw man, Waddell and Dundon played Dubas like a fiddle.

They offer sheet Marner, and prevent us from sending Aho an offer sheet. Marleau will stay in Carolina and play with Marner..
I bet that's why they turned down our offer for Pesce.

Lousy franking geniuses..

See.. This guy gets it..

Dubas failed.... again..

He's a center. They make more.

He's scores way more, that's worth more. He's the highest scoring playing 5on5 in the league since he entered the league. Marner isn't the highest anything since he got in the league.


The 2nd part is just insanity. Not even close to truth. Just brutal.


Edit: where the (frank) do you get Matthews was sheltered and marner wasn't. Couldn't be further from the truth.

It's amazing how people who don't know Richard about the Leafs, keep thinking they know everything about the Leafs.

Because Marner had more points and points is all that matters?

Also, I don't know why...

Wedgie, you didn't get back to me on the:

Marner + return for Nylander and Kadri (around 4 1sts in my view; either in picks or players)

vs.

Kadri + Nylander + Marner return (4 1sts).

?

also it also being floated around that the Marner side is grumpy over the ELC bonuses and whatnot.

if thats true who knows..

He's worth it. Speaking of value how about 34 year old boat anchor Seabrook at $6.875 for five more seasons?

Brutally bad. But, won't see me argue that fact.

yet....Tell a Leafer they have Cap issues because of 40+ million going on just 4 guys, and you would think you kicked them in the p u z z ____. I know, Leafs are in great shape. No Cap issues at all. Defense will be solid, probably 4 all-stars. Back up goalie likely Price, on a reduced 1.5 million deal. Ya, we get it. Man, hard to talk hockey to butt-hurt Leaf fans. There are a few however that can chat reality...but the rest...my, oh my.

Yeah, well, I am pretty sure that at this point, nobody gives a F what his "side" is grumpy about.

As long as the compensation is the 4 firsts, I don't care either way anymore. Sign him or let him get an offer-sheet. I am not even sure he is going to get any offer-sheets he will sign, especially if he does not want term.

Max is in the "blow it all up again" camp.
