Is this thing a tournament, or do they just play each other and then go home?

4 teams, it's a showcase, 4 games each.

Spatso still thinks they should have taken Laine.

It's actually good they took McDavid, Marner would have put Oilers even more into cap hell with his $14.5 AAV for 8 years

I heard that Marner told the Oilers not to draft him, because ever since he was a young boy, he always dreamed of demanding an outrageous 2nd contract from the Leafs and holding out.

I was kind of inferring that he was 14 years old, not a life long diaper wearer, but your way works also.

Were you signing an offer sheet with that marker?

Barrie is better than Gardiner and is a RH. That's an upgrade.

Ceci and Zaitsev are a wash. Ceci's signed to 1 year, cap move.

So slight upgrade on D from last year if you go by additions.

Take out Hainsey now?

Signficant upgrades on D.
- gravyface

there has been no upgrading just a rotation of similar parts. i would argue that zaitsev is superior to ceci while barrie in gardiner out is nothing more than a lateral move.

Poor Sens fans...for two reasons:

1. Spatso
2. They have been reduced to "Best 25 Prospects" blogs...*has a hard time holding back giggles typing best prospects for Sens.

We know how bad it has to be when you start digging in the corners to put 25 prospects together and the team still sucks. But even worse for them, with a shiite owner and an arena that is soooo far in Ottawa traffic that the stands are empty...until the Leafs arrive...they're proper fu3ked!!!!



Zaitsev to the rescue!!!

Couldn't be more wrong. (I've watched a ton of Colorado since they're currently my second favorite team.)

Barrie is leaps and bounds better that Gardner PLUS he is on the right side...our weakest side and by a long shot. Barrie immediately makes the right side almost Rielly better while Gardiner not being on the left side makes it vastly better.

Rielly
Muzzin
Dermott

on the left is really solid NHL level D.


Ceci is better than Zaitsev, opinion more than factual but I find it hard to believe from what I've seen of both that this not true. AND, because of Barrie he can slide DOWN the line up on the right. No more 7d on the first pairing playing his offside.

Right side of

Barrie
Lilijigren
Ceci

Is a HUGE improvement on our D.

Once healthy and after evaluation time from Babs, I could see...

Rielly, Barrie (Puck will NEVER be in our end)
Muzzin, Lilijigren/Ceci (Vet with rookie, or Vet with Ceci so he finds his game)
Derrmott, Lil/Ceci (Very acceptable bottom pairing.)

(frank)ing doomsdayers in here.

The NHL is a game of small mistakes. We just lost a WHOLE SHIITE TON of small mistakes on our D.

It will be MUCH improved next season.

Sources have reported to the Athletic that the Minnesota Wild have interviewed Peter Chiarelli for the GM role.

Like, how in the frank is this even possible?

I never bought into this. If it was Toronto's signature food you could get it all over the place. Does anybody really care about the peameal except when they are at St. Lawrence? Hell I get Italian panini there anyway.

Toronto's real food signature is the diversity of food available. There's no one dish. To equate it with Philly Cheesesteak is (frank)ing absurd.
