Seeing the display of mental gymnastics required to defend the Jake Allen trade is cute.

We tried the cheap UFA route for years. It didn't work.

The problem is solved and we can afford it. There is no problem with this move. None.

Doesn't seem to be, other than the habs made the trade and it helped free up cap space in stlouis.

I mean Jeff Skinner makes 9M per year and scored 14 goals last year, so gotta easily be 9.5M per year....right???

- Archaic

probably what he's asking for

i'd guess he gets $8M. he did have 28 goals / 72 points 2 years ago

Can't wait to see who gives it to him.

The funny thing is, Domi is a decent player in a 3rd line role, but at his correct cap hit, not what hell likely get.

Missed opportunity if you ask me.

And you know what?

I'm almost convinced that down the line, Domi ends up in Toronto at some point.
- Scabeh

Not hard to imagine.

He saw his dad parlay bottom six talent into God-like status in this town, and I'm sure he believes he could do the same.

The weird thing about Domi is that he was acquired as a winger, moved to centre by lack of options, performed well and now he doesn't want to play the wing again or at least completely sucks at wing while being unable to come close to his first season's results at centre (would barely have gotten 50 points in a full season this year).

Guy has talent, but it feels like he needs a very specific setting to be successful.

Oh Jesus, this is bringing up horrible memories of his father.

Tie was a much better hockey player than most give him credit for. He worked hard.

But at the tail end of his career, he decided he was the NHL's global ambassador to hockey, and he was much bigger than the Leafs. It was painful to watch.

Love it..

it's perfect.

Jack Edwards really is the biggest piece of garbage tho

I'm still curious if it's an act.

My kid bunked with him at a summer hockey camp when Max would been about 7 or 8. He said he was a nice kid, not stuck up at all.

That’s it. That’s the story.

I'm still curious if it's an act.
- AdamFrench

Nope, not an act. Can't be. Far too consistent.

Mrazek, Pesce and the #13 pick for Andersen and Johnsson?
- PatC80

lol (frank) no

Maybe it was at first.

But then the act.... took over....

he literally never breaks character if it is.

Even other folks in that industry can't stand him.

Jack is like,, I can not believe that guy held Marchand's stick with his mouth. That is totally holding..

- BINGO!

Maybe he's the Jared Leto of hockey commentary?

The guy should get an extra 2 for spitting his chicklets on the ice too.
