Obviously - quite a few people aren't willing to pay 50dollars for a kit.

The (hopefully) good news is that Australia and other Southern Hemisphere countries have experienced very low flu rates this year - which they largely attribute to masks, social distancing, etc.

Keep your mask on and your fingers crossed.

Good point

This is an excellent point!!!
- Atomic Wedgie

Agreed! Except wtf is the summer hemisphere?!

Ya, I'm totally *shoulder shrug* about what's ahead. Last I had read was that the summer hemisphere (at least in countries that test) had massively reduced rates of influenza b/c people had been socially distancing, better hygiene and wearing masks.

It makes sense ..i think?

Much better than Wedgies version.

Franking CapFriendly dropped the 2019-20 column without notifying me.

It was about time.

We went last week and it was 2.5 hours at St. Joes. I've got a friend in the government MOH - Covid group and she said exactly that ...parents, teachers, all school employees were/are getting tested. Maybe it'll slow down?

No way are people going to be motivated to get tested in the winter with those long lineups. Sounds like Ford is about to throw some $$ at opening up better options to make it efficient.

Oh, definitely. It is encouraging.. As long as people abide by the new rules, we will be ok..

Kyle Clifford will be exploring the open market, his agent, Todd Reynolds, tells me. "He's heading for free agency. The #Leafs are aware of that." TOR's financial situation has forced the issue.

Good thing we still have Denis Malgin

But Roeper said the leafs didn't have any financial issues, he claimed with absolute certainty that the leafs had more than enough cap space to sign everyone and make the team better...............

I think I would rather keep the 2nd rd pick.. Especially, with the perceived "cap issues"

It's going to be hard to replace what Clifford brought to the table, because it means we are first going to have to figure out what he brought to the table.

With all due respect to Clifford, he brought an element the Leafs need... With that said, it should be relatively easy to replace his 4 minutes of ice time.

(frank) that noise.

to much to pay man.

5 years and $250 milly.

It's all speculation and 'reports' but ....

Sham (nba's top insider) reported last week that Giannis, if he decided to leave, had Toronto and Miami as his top 2 options.

Also Masai and Giannis (and his family) have significant history outside the NBA.

Masai in 2013 moved to the Raps and tried hard to get back into the first round to draft G.A. Raps had traded their 13' pick for Kyle Lowry.

He's got one year left and most likely scenario is the Bucks tell him all the right things and spend/add around him and he re-ups for the $250 milly.

BUT, there's some smoke ....

If he tells Milwaukee he wants to go elsewhere do they keep him and let him walk next summer or do they dangle him now with 1 year left (ala Anthony Davis)?

AND, if the Bucks decided to dangle him he's only going to go somewhere where he'll lock in long term. Again, Raps and Heat the rumoured favourites.

AND that team would have to have some nice pieces to send back to the Bucks to make it all come together (see what the Lakers paid for Davis).

Any deal starts with Siakam I think.

ah come on eh!

we all knew/deduced he wasn't coming back for the cost of 2nd rnd pick

Matt Martin is UFA this summer, assuming he doesn't plan on taking another 10 mil to hit and fight...

can he be the man?

Too many stars already on the Leafs, he'll probably ask for a trade to a team where he can be the aforementioned the man

5yr/250M for Giannis?

There's going to be 1,000 4th liner grinders looking for work - all of which we can sign without surrendering a draft pick.

I have nothing against Clifford, but he isn't worth a 2nd rounder.

- haywoodjablome

Then you haven't been listening to me. I've the loudest opponent against overpaying for 4th line plugs. And what ism't mentioned in that quote is if Leafs sign him they give LA a 2nd rounder instead of a 3rd. Sorry, makes zero sense.

Leafs always keep the players they really want and find the money.

Meh. We will see. A lot of guys here were saying these playoffs would be shut down in the second round.

I went to CFB game on Sat.. outside .. nice day.. yep.. but with the progress being made daily and players being more comfortable that this worked...lets face it .. the unknown was scary..

the league absolutely is going to do 82.. and I'm thinking 30% attendance to start... with waiver for fans and such.. I'm 56 and I'd go in a heartbeat.. mask and other precautions.. for sure..

My buddy just got back from Vegas this wknd... Said it was an absolute madhouse.. Packed on the street.. in hotels. everywhere.. For sure lots of safety precautions were taken.. But everybody was willing to do that to get back to having some semblance of lives..
