Ok ya got me 😂👍

Leafs in cap hell! Young players will need to be moved!!! Rinse, repeat..

Brian Burke went on TV and GUARANTEED Nylander was traded by June 2019 draft due to Leafs having no $ last year.

22 year-old players who can get 100+ points are never available. Teams will line-up. That said, he's going nowhere.

Cup winning all around stud RHD are chopped liver eh. Besides wait til he gets 100+ & the team has success that goes with it. Building a champion ain’t about personal points its all about winning baby. If I agreed then McJesus & Draisaitl got the cup locked up. I’m not knockin MM but he’s not Kane just yet.

Edmonton has no depth, That's why their cup is not lcoked-up. Leafs are ina better spot.

And spare me the crap about how points don't matter. The Blues were headed for a second year of no playoffs without a rookie goalie saving them. The NHl is ridiculously close. You don't have to be like the Blues to win a cup at all.


Marner not winning a round should be pretty irrelevant since no one holds that against other young players. Marner's never missed the playoffs in fact. How are Eichel and Barkov doing?

Pietrangelo is a no brainer
Free asset
Trade someone else to restock the cupboard

I love the Don Cherry "Knuckle-draggers" "Points don't matter! It's about toughness! Those 4th liners set the tone with big hits!

LOL. Stars win you cups.

Too old and expensive to trade a young asset to get him.

Do you have little voices in your head talking to you? You are a revisionist history lesson of who cares what anyone else said in the past.

Burke has a tv gig & unlikely to ever have an NHL job again. Grapes is knockin back beers somewhere after picking up suits at the dry cleaners.

Winning 4 of 7 each series wins cups & I’ll take a wild guess nobody cares how it gets done.

I like our D right now. I think it's real underrated.

I'm just tired of the points don't matter crap. Yes, they absolutely do. Stars win you cups.

Nah, Big Buff for plan B. 2@5

People are nuts. Rielly/Muzzin/Dermott/Sandin/Lehtonen/Lilly is fine. In this year's playoffs add Barrie and Ceci and we are a major cup thresat.

Nope. There are other pieces that can be sliced and diced. Kerfoot and Johnsson = Nylander's contract.

With the cap expected to be flat for a while it is going to be a problem signing Rielly and Ander7en or his replacement.

They are (frank)ed against the cap.

Same with all 31 teams.

Andersen you do not keep. Goodbye.

Only saying there is more to winning than points. There is enough points to go around already.

A red hot goalie wins cups. So so goalies need top D play. What team ever has scored its way to a cup with neither of those?

Plenty of company. Many top teams gonna feel the pinch & others too. Av’s look sweet.

It’s not underrated it has to perform. Very few teams boast true top 4 depth.

Y’all got a fun dynamic team & luv them just as I do mine. Doesn’t mean we can wear rose coloured glasses & ignore the warts. Both teams are trending very nicely but a ways to go yet. It’s the hardest cup to win for a reason. I give the Leafs a leg up on us but the gap is closing.

A flat cap means Rielly and Andersen won't be getting raises

Sure, but the situation of the other top teams doesn't change the Leafs situation and doesn't mean that they can magically stop looking ahead at their salary situation.

Not even going to bother with this.

Its hard to when the whole thread is disagreeing with you

For picks 3, 5, and Brannstrom.

That’s a good offer. I’d do it. Take Stutzle & Askarov. Boom.

Good for you ... Even whackjob Melnyk doesn’t do that deal...
