They won’t trade the captain, they won’t trade Nylander, they won’t be able to trade Marner without holding some of his salary, so if the leafs don’t win a round this season I’m not going to be surprised if Matthews gets moved

They can't trade the captain.

NMC.

He's not leaving.

..and he may...and Islander fans will take over our blogs for a few weeks afterwards.

Also, the coyotes "beginning" their rebuild? They're whole existence in Arizona has pretty much been a rebuild....just different phases of it. The team is a mess, if he wants to disappear in the hockey world, then sure go to Arizona

But I can see how the league might be able to sell hockey better there with one of the leagues top players leading the roster

Oh I know, but some things are happening (like the video game cover) that seems off…. Something is going on that involves the best American player in the league
- Dozzer

I'm not sure why you think he doesn't deserve the EA cover.

He's young, he scores exciting goals. More appeal to the young kids than Ovi, and Ovi was on it two years ago.

As an aside, I took a look at previous cover - there's been some pretty strange selections over the years:

Edit: weird - won't let me link to wikipedia.

Randy Moller? ha ha - just a group shot.

But PK Subban?

Nolan?

Iggy?

Phaneuf?

Giroux?

Maybe, if they are still there.
But Matthews might have other aspirations.
LA, Chicago, NYR......and not just Phoenix...or Tempe or whatever city in Arizona they move to.

No, I'm saying that "in my mind" is spot on - it's your opinion.

As the kids say, "we are in agreeance"

On an unrelated note:

Has anyone been to an Argos game this year?

Can I assume that if I go with a group of four, we can all sit together?

Thanks in advance.

And in case you were thinking of travelling to Afghanistan for vacation, the CDC is advising against it - for COVID-19 reasons:

Well Dozzer I have to agree with you. Marner will be hard to trade with his “overpaid” contract.

Peter throws his Silian Grail embossed business card onto the meeting table with a studied nonchalance. Nobody dares make eye contact. He has prevailed again in the cutthroat world of Norwegian finance but something is missing. An emptiness still gnaws at him. But he knows how to fill that void and smiles to himself while he makes plans for the evening.

Ok, I hope Matthews does play a huge role in leading the leafs this season. However that being said I’d like to see him moved. Not only because I don’t think he stays in Toronto for the majority of his career but I also think between him, Marner, and Nylander he’s the best one because he’ll get the largest return by a landslide.

Perhaps I’m wrong and he’ll stay but I pretty much 99% doubt he sticks around

The leafs would have to hold some of it themselves and his return still wouldn’t be close to Matthews

- Atomic Wedgie


The funny thing is that they are saying it’s much safer to go to China than to stay in the US which doesn’t really fit with a lot of the ranting whenever Ek posts an Olympic team roster.

US, like Afghanistan is high Covid.

Oh wow I’ll be able to finally go there after Thursday when I get my second shot.

I’ve hated waiting but I wanted to make sure my neurologist could tell me I was safe to have it done.

Thankfully shoppers is walking distance since I’m not allowed to drive

You may want to make it a boys' weekend.

Your girlfriend may not like Afghanistan so much...
