the only thing rfa's are more afraid of than pto's is when their team signs bad players.

The Candiens are Ek's second favourite team.

did you know that you have a better chance of flying over alberta and seeing backyard rinks in the summer than you do of finding hockey jerseys in stores in america?

Ek is so frightened that he may have to go save the Arizona Coyotes. I forgot Nichushkin was drafted 10th overall. I also recall most fans blaming Lindy Ruff for his not developing. Sooner or later a player has to stop pointing the finger and look in the mirror. Be accountable. Puljujarvi is following the same path.

Is Dubas trading Ceci so he can sign Gardiner? I don't see how else the Leafs could fit him under the Cap. They need all their cap space for Paul I mean Mitch Marner.
- gergeswillems


I think the idea is that if the Leafs bridge Marner for 2-3 years, his cap hit will be low enough to fit Gardiner in as well... I don't see that happening though. Marner's camp thinks his value now is 11.634M. Most of the bridge deals for star players in recent years have been at or below the 3.5-4.5M mark. Even if Marner signs for 2-3 years at 8.5M, that isn't going to leave enough room for Gardiner, even if he agrees to take the same money as last season... for this to work, he would have to sign for 2M and that's assuming Marner takes 8.5M and I don't see that happening.

That's not what a young David Poile told me while he was running around Northlands Coliseum in 1984.

Gardiner must really love being a Leaf. I don't know whether to admire him or feel sorry for him.

Uh oh. Marner has really done it now. Not only are the Leafs not screwing around, but they are NOT OK with Marner missing training camp. He's as good as traded. Or killer offer sheeted. July 31st deadline is fast approaching.

Do the Leafs fans have to go back to liking Gardiner and saying he is talented if he returns?
