Which leads me to believe it was specifically put there to avoid Seattle.

Of course, we are all assuming there will be a Seattle next June. I hope they are raking the hell out of their forests.

I have a Facebook friend who is Seattle-based - the photos are pretty franking scary.

Good point ...probably right.

I have some friends in Seattle and family in Van and they are not excited about life right now.

We will just teach Muzzin to play right handed from no won. He can do it.

If Rocky can do it so can Muzzin.

Tell them to start raking

Gotcha.

Either way Chris Johnson says the leafs don't have to protect him in the expansion draft.

Ah, there we go. That'll clear things up for Wedgie and I.

So, back to the begnning, ...Leafs could add a pair of Dmen and expose one of them or Muzzin next summer. And losing Muzzin and his pre-covid 5.6 wouldn't be the end of the world, IMHO.

The fact Dubas got him to sign that without expansion protection is fantastic.

Urban Dictionary: "raking"

When a chick's really bad at giving head and gets her teeth in there, moving up and down on your tender member with her jaw slightly clenched.

I will make the suggestion but the conversation with my family might be awkward.

Actually - I'm often that guy without a filter after a bottle of wine or two. I'll do it!

Ah, forest management. I finally understand Trump's obsession

Snakevares missed time with a broken hand and came back way too early from it, playing a half bakers dozen games where it clearly still effected him. And he was still on pace to score 30+ goals.

He is still undeniably great at hockey.

That's right wedgie. 6.5 games.

I'm not sure how this can be right - I'm looking at the NHL website on the draft rules, and one bullet states:

* All players with no movement clauses at the time of the draft, and who decline to waive those clauses, must be protected and will be counted toward their team's applicable protection limits.

To me, Muzzin will have a NMC "at the time of the draft."

Oh well. I'll just wait and see.

Edit: it may be that the expansion draft looks forward one week - applies everything to the next year of contracts (7 days later) - which would make sense. I don't think you can expose guys who don't have contracts. Not sure if this is a loophole - could you not expose Rielly because he isn't under contract, but then sign him to a contact the day after the draft - before he becomes a UFA?

Hopefully the Leafs can win again when 26 other teams fold.

Yay!!!!!

BTW, after seeing the Habs hilarious signing yesterday are any of you still confident Holl is terribly overpaid at 2 million per?

I wonder if the league will allow some teams to suspend operations, as opposed to folding. It would make more sense.

Although it becomes horrible optics if the Seattle franchise paid over a half billion dollars, and then the Panthers get sold for $125M.

Who did they sign?

I wonder what Gallagher gets....best analytics in the game. Miles ahead of the boys making the top bucks.

Oh please no...

DeMelo/Hamonic/Gudas are players that should be targeted.. Leafs can't afford Pietrangelo

Nobody will be folding, they’ll find a way to make some money while the seats are empty....maybe.

revenue sharing.. The Leafs will need to fund the rest of the league

Oh please no...

What’s the sense of getting Pietrangelo if Muzzin goes. Leafs might as well fold too.

Oh well, won’t be much money if there’s no league.

Trade for Ekblad/Parayko

Sign DeMelo

League should just allow the Leafs to take any player off of any team they want..

Trade for Ekblad/Parayko

Sign DeMelo

that would work too..
