I'm sorry but if I go on youtube for hockey related content the first video i'm watching is the one from the cat poop guy

Well if the cover isnt pretty, colourful and doesnt contain at least one shirtless guy staring off into the distance while the wind blows his hair back then its being judged mister!
But i digress.

I just read how TAvares signing has been a disaster. Everything about the CBA and cap being flat affects Leafs more than any other team..Typical doom and gloom crap

Was it someone from TSN or Sportsnet saying it?

He is really good. He is able to simply tell facts without worrying about how to create headlines to get viewers like those TSN/Sn guys.
- RogerRoeper

Bang on Roper. He mentions in a video about having the chance to get bigger with sponsorships and whatnot, but they may try to influence his content. So no go. Gotta respect that.

And guess why that is?
Cause hes not in the headline grabbing business like those tsn/sportsnet guys.

You really dont understand how broadcasting and sports writing works?
Even though the Toronto media own so much space in your head.

I read that we’re the best team in the league and are just very unlucky, i guess it just depends where and what you want to read.

Tanner?

We will hear soon how Rielly wants out and Leafs can never afford him. We'll also hear from the media the INSANE narrative that Freddy needs to be kept because he's the Leafs best player and carries them every year.

Maybe from that leaking garbage bag Simmons.

- MaximusAurelius

That's the way it goes. We hear the guys needing deals are gone, yet they always stay...

That works well. Hyman wants to be a Maple Leaf
- PatC80

He'll make the difference doing insurance commercials.

Tanner?
- GreatGigInTheSky

He’s 1 for sure

Leafs have not had anyone go they wanted to keep. JVR was told weeks before July 1st they would not offer him a contract.

If Leafs want Rielly, Hyman. They stay.

Yeah and those Sokoloff lawyer commercials as well..

I fear the Canucks will make Rielly an offer he can't refuse.

Don’t put it off, Pat.

- Atomic Wedgie

Like they don't have cap issues? Or will Pettersson sign for league minimum?

We have Lily and Sandin, we don’t need no stinkin Rielly.

Don’t put it off, Pat.
- DrunkenCanuck

I should probably stop putting it off..

The media fear-mongering will start soon with Andersen and Rielly. The media will claim Leafs need to do what never works with teams in regards to signing an aging goalie long-term.

Yup. Gotta flog that horse for as long as they can milk it.

Leafs will never survive without a goalie 35th in save % who never wins in the playoffs! He's their MVP!!!

There’s no doubt that a flat cap will hurt the Leafs more than some other teams since we have zero room. On the other hand it really helps that there are no bad contracts in the way.

I wonder if they can use their financial muscle somehow. There are franchises in really bad shape right now that are going to be in worse shape over the next while.
