they overplayed Giordano? huh, I thought they gave him some rest before the playoffs and poop.

Still played 70 something games. I think.

first thing the new gm and the new coach will have to decide is what to do with #34.
- fidopro

They'll probably try and keep him. It's more if he wants to stay that will be the issue

did he ever talk about his personal intentions, or just the usual "we'll cross that bridge when we get there"..?

Fire Dubas!

Fire Keefe!

What can we get for Matthews?

This team is too soft!

Defence is terrible!

Goaltending is terrible!

This is my Stanley Cup...

we'll they're at the river. they cannot beging next season without extending him this summer. either they extend him, either they trade him.

Just need: look at the column on the right

I know, I was talking about if Matthews had ever mentioned anything about wanting to stay.

I mean, they have good players.

But they diid not build a deep club, each of the last few years with significant flaws in specific key areas.

Not sure why they expected anything different this year.

I just wonder where else he's going to get the money he wants

the team has flaws that need to be addressed for sure, but going into full rebuild mode right now instead of trying to add to the group and improve it would be ridiculous.

has it been confirmed how much he'll be asking?

They do need to move parts out. They can't get better pieces without an expensive 1 or 2 moving out

Max amount I think

I think Matthews is gonna leave, how many more years does JT have?

There will come a point where it inevitably happens, but unless they can move out big money to fix the flaws (and can actually somehow use that money to get the players they need), not sure this changes.

They gave it a good try, but their salary structure (frank)ed them over.

Yeah, they bet on the cap increasing significantly, which it obviously did not, so that kinda screwed them.

Nylander held dubas' ankles and dipped his head in the toilet until he gave him the terms he wanted. It was over after.that

Love that analogy.

Yep, that really (frank)ed their salary structure ... and I always thought Tavares was overpaid.

Agreed, they have nice pieces but they'll have to move 1 or 2 of their core four IMO.

They've added players and tried many lineup variations over the years but that core is just not working when it counts.

Marner contract was worse.

anywhere he wants, that's certainly not the issue imo
