Cool

NHL has difficulties getting US viewers for playoffs, not Canadians.

Done deal, as far as I'm concerned.

Are there enough assets here that a rebuilding team like the Coyotes could use?

Sandin, and then? Who do we have with control or contract years ahead that they would have interest in?

With Kerfoot, Holl and Engvall all being UFA this summer, I'd think if any of them are moved, it would be to a playoff team for picks.

Unless there's a team that a 3 for 1 makes sense that the 1 coming back to Toronto is an upgrade on one of them. Or is there a chance to package Kerfoot and Engvall to a contender for a 1st and use the 1st for another add?

It would be nice to get a Chychrun though.

Reilly Brodie
Chychrun Lili
McCabe Holl
Gio Timmins

But what about a true RD instead that slots in beside Reilly. Who's out there?

Reilly RD
McCabe Brodie
Gio Lily

Dubas has made it clear that it's all in time.

1st, Sandin, Holl (CAP dump and contract dump and help the Yotes lose dump), Engvall, Minten for Chychrun 50% retained.

Boom. Easy GM'ing.

(Serious question though, how many contracts does Arizona have? Are they almost at the limit?)

Only 3 teams were playoff bound.
Of that, Toronto is the best city, doubt he would want to spend two years in the peg
So makes sense.
Is he American?
Edit: He is

That and the fan bases in the east are already solid

You can’t just toss the growth of the game aside so the league wants some the least popular teams to get a chance to grow their fanbase… the playoffs are kind of important to be successful at that

The Eastern conference is just stacks on stacks on stacks right now. Holy crap.

There are also executives who are crying at TSN and Sportsnet right now. "What the Hell are we gonna broadcast on Thursday?"

It’s not the die hard fans they have issues getting to watch

It’s the casual US fans, they don’t care about Edmonton

They only care about Toronto because we have an annoyingly large fanbase and people enjoy the masses being unhappy in sports

Agreed and you want your best players in the dance.
Obviously big markets in the finals are great but not the end all be all.

Yep, according to known Leaf lover Frank Seravalli. Of course he had to add a point about him being injury prone

They don’t care about the team but they do care about McDavid

And your complaint is precisely what they’re trying to overcome. So unlike you they see it as an important thing to work on and not something to toss aside.

Who was that sabre player that didn’t want to go to the leafs a few years ago. He hated the leafs so much from the sabre/leaf rivalry but he went to the habs.

Amazing.

I assume Arizona was the other team?

A half and half mix in the post season would be great.

I do however think that they do need to visit the playoff layout tho, I mean out of 3 of the top 5 teams in the league from the Atlantic division only one makes it to the semi finals is a fail in my eyes.

But that being said it’s also getting the newer hockey fanbases to pay more attention throughout the entire post season I guess

Man, that guy was (frank)ing terrible. So glad he didn't want to come here.

Can't get it right this time. Feels like a poop lineup. Had that feeling 4-5 times in the 'reg season' and lost 3 of those. I'm f'n losing in the 1st round

If they want to do this format they should have a more uneven schedule to play more within the Atlantic and develop more rivalry during the season.

Leafs play TBL under a 1 vs 8 format.

So JB in Tampa had some words about the cost of Jeannot. Essentially saying what many say here about Dubas trades. The picks don't matter for the current core's winning window. I think that's the right mentality, even for Dubas to have.
