not really. not strange at all.

if you don't use foresight to make decisions, than it's not strange when you end up with with obvious inconsistencies like having a terrible backup and a boat-load of back-to-backs.

get a clue.

Thanks Carol, great coverage.


Oh great, a bunch of you people in here today

Hopefully Benning can deal Leivo before the deadline to a contender for a 2nd round pick. Showing once again why he’s a better GM than Dumbass

Babcock would not play him.

Benning is a cap genius. So much cap wasted on bottom 6 "Talent" and Petterson not signed,.

Canucks fans have educated me on the fact 31 NHl teams enter their schedules on spreadsheets to the NHL and are approved.

Four Star General
Four Star General from Fire Bros. is an indica-dominant cannabis strain that brings together genetics from two Chemdawg hybrids, Stardawg and Tres Dawg. Its buds are a vibrant show of purple and green calyxes wrapped in red-orange hairs, all shrouded by a sparkling coat of frosty resin. Sweet and earthy with sour notes, Four Star General’s effects weigh down the mind with serene, dreamy euphoria.

It's weird to be slinging comments about poor cap management considering what team you cheer for. At least the Canucks can afford a full compliment of NHL defensemen, and 2 NHL caliber goalies.

Your claim is all 31 teams "Choose" their schedules? That's ridiculous. No truth whatsoever.
- RogerRoeper


I didnt say they plan their own scheds. Your claim that no teams select their own is completely wrong. You made that up.

Dishonest Leafs fan. Big surprise.

I think a lot can happen before July 1st 2021 therefor you question is mostly moot.

Have you checked the contracts your GM handed-out this summer?
Dubas spends his $ on early 20's first liners. Benning signs a lot of bottom 6 guys to big money.

- RogerRoeper

Basically the teams are polar opposites where you have half your cap tied up in 4 players and only 1 dman signed long term lol

We have glorified 3rd liners playing top 6 minutes we are well aware of this. But it is working itself out as we rid ourselves of Sutter Edler tanev eventually.

What do you mean by "Select Their Own"? How do you know the current is any better than any other one which would be presented?

But all Leaf contracts can be moved. And the core is locked-up. And that constant mention of 1 DMan signed makes it sound more dramatic than it is. Dermott is 1000% returning (Unless you guys will start "Offersheet" theories haha). Sandin and Lilljegren are both signed next year and even after Dermott they'll have minimum 10 million to spend.

If not for those overpaid bottom 6 guys Boeser could have been signed for double the term.

I'll take Leafs cap situation anyday over the Canucks.

And your comment about goalies is funny. 3 million for Luongo this season.

I mean JB was presented by the NHL with more than 1 schedule last season and he selected the one that appealed to management.

Keep running your mouth blue and white fool.

Why overpay for bottom 6 UFAs? That's my point. Jason Spezza is better than Jay Beagle and 2.7 million per cheaper.

And worse thing is you can't move those deals.

- RogerRoeper


That kind of thinking is how you end up with this Leafs roster which is a poor man’s version of the recent Tampa teams that choke in the playoffs.

How come Beagle had 8-10 teams bidding on him, including his former team and the defending Stanley Cup champions, while Spezza had to settle for a deal worth peanuts in Canada after having every Canadian team on his NTC not too long ago?

Seems like the league disagrees with your statement.

Teams like Washington and Boston will continue to feast on the soft teams in the East in the playoffs. And if your soft team gets by one of them, you’ll be too (frank)ed up to win the next series

You guys don't need to worry about cap issues next year, not after Matthews demands a trade this off season after the Leafs miss the playoffs.

But Leafs were offered better but picked the worse. Gotcha...

Leafs, always getting favours from the NHL! On top of it, they are 31st in PP opportunities for 3 straight years!

Marner will also demand a trade. He will rip up his contract and sign an offersheet July 1st.
