What, Nylander is going to score more goals, and let's face it that all they both do.

Then Laine? He’s already 50 behind...Laine would score 100 playing with Matthews and Marner. 😬

A cabin in the woods is heaven, more so if you have guns.
- bobbyisno1


My Aunt used to own my ideal log cabin, one half was the sleeping area, kitchen and dining room, the other half was the sauna. Not 20 feet from the lake.

Could live there year round.

Isn’t that the idea, scoring? He’s scored 50+ more goals in less games I think.

Neither are great at D ( haven’t watched Laine much, but rumour says it )

$9-$10 I would think though...he’d be a big upgrade but we could never afford it.

We’ll be fine without him. *sobs*

Who scored more goals last year? And I don't think an extra 5 or 10 goals is worth the extra money. If he ever scores that many again is another gamble.

I used to go to every Leafs game at the Bell Centre, stayed at the Belvedere, kitty corner from the forum, I can attest to how hot they are.

If you are going to be lazy and aren’t going to support your ideas with facts then why should I think you are right?

I appreciate senstroll and monkeypuck. I don’t always agree with them but they always support their opinions and ideas. There are more on here like that but I’m just singling them out.

I don’t like irrationally complaining without giving me any reason to support your complaining.

That’s all.

How the hell could a former NCAA athlete be so stupid as to hand out cash to NCAA students in front of 1 jillion cameras?

yes, but would you rather have Nylander at 6.9 or Laine at 10?

I think Laine has a fantastic shot, but he is not a 10M player in my opinion.

He has every year except 1, it’s just a convo anyways. I doubt Dubas would have interest in a 6’5 goal scorer

Well I would trade Marner for him and get some cap relief. Wouldn't trade Willie.

Yes Max, the only response is that l must be an anti vaxxer. Oxy is actually a useful drug if used properly and when people have the right information. Purdue’s crime was withholding/misleading regulators, doctors and everyone else about how addictive their product was while pushing millions of pills into the backwoods of rural America.

There’s no way they agree to this settlement if they don’t know how vulnerable they are to criminal charges.

- Canada Cup

I do agree with Max that there is plenty of blame to be shared, and it isn't.

Doctors in the states were incentivized to prescribe it.

Hell, I had a tooth extraction a few years ago. Dentist told me he was going to give me Oxy to dull the pain. I told him I didn't want any, as I had small kids in the house, and didn't want to take the risk of addiction.

He said, "OK, I'm just going to write you a prescription - if you don't want them, don't fill it, but I really think you are going to need them."

He wrote a prescription for 20 franking doses.

I never even needed Tylenol.

I’d have to do some scouting 1st

Nylander doesn’t do it for me as a complete player but that’s just me.

NCAA has very, very strict rules on what student-athletes can accept - to prevent them getting paid by boosters (you can agree or disagree with the rules - I happen to think that the NCAA is a giant franking scam organization - but the rules are the rules).

You aren't even allowed to have a summer job.

You definitely are not allowed to take cash on the field after a game. You can't be paid in any way.

Of course, there are ways around it.

Most athletes will get tickets to the football and basketball games for free - which they can then sell.

A friend was on a scholarship to an NCAA powerhouse in the 1990s - she got 3 track suits from the school. One that that had her name and position - 2 that did not. Guess what they were for?

About an hour away. 4.5 miles out in the woods. Built in 1936 by my Grandfather and his brothers. I am third generation to own it. Still exactly the same as it was, except the solar system. LOL. 1876 stove built in Yarmouth NS.. LOL. My favourite place on earth. Big part of our family. You had to walk every step until 1995. Now you can drive you SUV to .5 KM away. Then hike it.
