Elliotte friedman just said he believes leafs are working on Domi. stay tuned.

They are not selling the farm for 1 year or less.

If they part with a "farm" that hurts their ability to compete THIS year.
If they are looking toward the future, 1 year of a contract is not a future.

Domi signed

Kypper saying Leafs want Domi at 1 year 2.5M

No, klingberg will put up some points. The leafs biggest issue imo has been their d firing blanks.
I wanted Karlsson but I’ll settle for the lite version.

They are both pretty frightening on the back-end. This is using Evolving Hockey's Even strength defense rating and setting a minimum TOI of 500 minutes.

Karlsson EVD rating 2.3 which ranks 72/214

In 2018-19 Karlsson was paired with Brendan Dillon. After that stints with Vlasic, Knyzhov, Middleton and Megna is successive seasons didn't work out.

In 2018-19 Klingberg was paired with Heiskanen and Lindell which worked out, but after that his play with Lindell just got worse and last year in Anaheim was just awful with Fowler and Benoit - but honestly it didn't matter who he was paired with, the goals just kept going in!

If brad gets Domi at 1 year it is some really good work.

Some uncertainty on the cap situation next year with Nylander but still manages to add a top 6 F, top 9 F and a 2nd pairing D on 1 year deals.

I am coming around on Trad Beleafing.

Hell yeah. All the piss babies yesterday can suck it.

will Zezel disown the Leafs with Bertuzzi into the fold?
- drexel

What was the reason why we're supposed to hate Bertuzzi again? COVID-19 vaxx stuff? Or was there more to it?

Domi at a realistic -# … and a good Sunday to Mr. Tree … Hats off -

I thought he was going to need an answer on willy to improve this team

He didn't

Excellent

Yup. This is what I was saying. Would way rather have Kling over Hot Karl, far less riskier move.

Glad to hear it.

We are living in an age where people desire ideological purity from other peeps. Dangerous - and toxic - stuff, that.

It's amazing what a few hours can do to change hearts and minds.

The off-season ain't even done yet, folx.

I am fine with Brodie...but if he can somehow trade for Pesce to replace him that would be gold.

Saves 1M this year and is a guy we can look at long term here.

Pesce would be the perfect addition for this team. He's easily, in my estimation (which isn't worth much), the most underrated d-man in the league.

Yeah, like I hope people realized that Matthews and Nylander deals don't go into effect this season right?

- mjones242

Because he’s an anti-vax douchebag who uses his celebrity to promote dangerous, factually incorrect bullpoop that literally causes people - including children - to die horrible, painful deaths.

But let me put it to you in a more easy morsel to digest:

If for the past three years, Bertuzzi was telling people that fire safety was just a big lie by Big Fire Extinguisher, and you should actually let your kids play with matches and gasoline, would you want him to wear the maple leaf?

Bertuzzi - Matthews - Nylander
Knies - Tavares - Marner
Robertson - Domi - Jarnkrok
Lafferty - Kampf - Reaves

Rielly - Brodie
McCabe - Klingberg
Gio - Liljegren

Samsonov
Woll

This is a way better lineup that what we iced at the start of last season.

And on-par with what we iced to start the playoffs (slightly worse defensively, but slightly better offensively).

Wildcards: Robertson and Knies put up solid rookie seasons.

many here wanted him drawn and quartered

Lol. Ya imagine that a guy smart enough to avoid the toxic j@b! A lot are thinking now they should of been that smart

Any pics of Bertuzzi in Wendel Clark jammies?
