Yes, I just edited, Rogers Communications owns Sportsnet and the Blue Jays. Rogers and Bell however together own 75% of Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment.

aren't you a fan? doesn't that make you part of the fanbase as well that deserves this?

or are you going to say that the loudest ones are usually the idiots when they win or when they lose?

i've always thought that this fanbase and losing are a perfect match after reading some of the ridiculousness after a win.

There won’t be any this season, so his eye needs to be focused on next year 🤞 or likely the year after.

There are a couple other defensemen that are going to be nice players, but these 4 guys are my top guys I would want.

Sportnet is owned by Bell Media though...I think?


Edit: nope...I'm wrong, Rogers Communications owns SN.

Must be why it is regularly referred to as Roger's Sportsnet.

Just saying that playoff revenue is gate driven, so no matter how far the Canucks go (or don’t) this season, there’s nothing “extra”.

I think we will find a way to rid one of Roussell, Beagle, or Eriksson this off season. I think Eriksson buyout and trade one of the other two(don't think it will be expensive to dump either one). PodK will be the only new blood(maybe Lind/Rathbone) that makes the team next year as our draft pick this year will likely not be drafted until 2022 and will be a year further developed.
- Retinalz

i have a hard time believing that aquillini will approve any buyouts next year. they cut and deferred cash to next year on all the contracts so unless hes budgeted for it i cant seem them not doing a cash-in-cash-out deal to unload these deals

don't worry, once he's fired there are going to be several posters who defended his every move but then say, "i knew he was just a transitional gm and his time was up."

7 seasons as a transition. lol. i'd love to hear what a regular tenure for a gm is if 7 years is a transition.

- RealityChecker



Just catching up. Here’s your answer - +/- 5 years is the average tenure.

Thousands upon thousands of people have lost their jobs during this global pandemic, just add more to the pile.

The sad thing is the wealthy aren’t effected. Only the poor really suffer. I don’t have any close friends that have been impacted in fact it’s the opposite. Most have benefited financially
