this could get ugly in a hurry

William Nylander on starting at centre again:

"I’m excited. I told Chief that the most important thing is I can’t just play one game if you want to try centre. We agree on that ..."

Why was experiment so short last year?

"I don’t know. You’ll have to ask my old coach (smile)"

I'll poop if Willy looks mediocre at center for a few games, but then he finally clicks and tears poop up while putting up career numbers.

Weirder poop has happened.

Shana- Scam "Run it Back....FOREVER."
These dudes have ossified, risk-averse brains which cannot fathom any possibilities besides the old ones.
PREDICTION: Marner will get 4m more than Kucherov, 2m more than Pastrnak, 5m more than JT Miller....and Leafs media will call it a "bargain".

I’m telling you Leaf fans are absolutely the best man… they make raider and cowboy fan look like pikers…😆😆😆😆

I think he succeeds.

Happy we finally will know now though, Keefe gave it 1 shift with 2 PTOs.

For sure on that…. Love the Gudas… 🤪🤪🤪🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Nothing better than an undersized forward that can 't score in the lowest Division 1 bracket of the NCAA

He'll outsmart the opposition.

There should be a top 70 blog, because I'm most excited about #69 Jack Meehoff.

Sorry for the late reply but I just got my yardwork done.

Who did you think was returning to the AHL? Neither Minten or Cowan has played there yet. Minten got 4 games last year, 0 points, and was sent back to the WHL since he was too young for the AHL. As for Cowan he’s either a leaf or a knight this year because he’s too young for the AHL. It’s why I think people are dreaming when it comes Cowan, he either proves he’s good and reliable enough to be a leaf for the year or he’ll be back in the OHL. My guess is I’ll be watching him here in London, teams that consider themselves cup contenders don’t play teenaged rookies with zero pro experience often, and as for “often” I mean “hardly ever”.

I'm cheerleading for Cowan, but I know he has no realistic shot at staying this season. Realistically, I hope the kid plays lights out for 9 games before being sent back down to come back next season and stay for good.

Minten reminds me of Clifford but in a different way. He plays an NHL style game, but just ok (now). Clifford could play NHL games and fight at 18/19. Minten can probably play some games now at 19/20, but is it worth it as a 4th liner?

Kucherov: $9.5 million on a 37% tax rate = $5.985 million take home
Pastrnak: $11.25 million on a 46% tax rate = $6.075 million take home
Miller: $8 million on a 53.5% tax rate = $3.72 million take home

Please note Miller only started thriving and being more than an average 40P guy when put on Vancouver’s top line. He is also 31 not 27.

Two things. Thinking Marner gets what Matthews gets is absurd as hell… at best he’ll land $12.5 million, which would give him a take home of $5,808,750. So yeah, other than the 31 year old Miller Marner’s take home will be most likely less than the first two you mentioned.

Cheers.

Yeah so long as they can make his contract work with the leafs without risking losing someone I’m all for this. However if keeping him risks losing someone else it won’t be worth it.

That and Minten is not playing for the leafs this year now that he has a high ankle sprain. He’ll take forever to recover and then spend the rest of the year with the marlies unless the leafs are poopting the bed badly this season.

Yeah that’s why I said leaf fans are the best… man I saw that I was like holy smokes.

Gotta weird feeling about this A Nylander situation. Think he might of had a partying situation or some off ice issue that he had shake off and needed his brother to kinda babysit and keep him busy and focused.

Toronto then agreed to the AHL deal and maybe if he passed a few drug tests and performed well...NHL contract. Something is up and ANylander is a much better player than he is getting credit for...or has the potential to be. Having his older brother to guide him good be a great thing for the Leafs.

If that is the case, Robertson is gonna need to step up or him and Lily are gone (Lily due to money and Hawktuah).

I think we could see this...

Knies, Matthews, Domi
A.Nylander, Nylander, Marner
Patches, Tavares, Jarnkrok
McMann, Kampf, Lorentz/Reaves

OR

Knies, Matthews, Domi
Patches Nylander, Marner
Robertson, Tavares, Jarnkrok
McMann, Kampf, Lorentz/Reaves

Reilly, Tanev
Benoit, McCabe
OEL, Hakanpaa

Woll/Stolarz
Murray

And I like it! GLG

I spoke a bit blurry there my apologies. I wasn’t attacking you I was just trying to say there are so many people who cannot grasp the taxation difference. They’re also the type that think players sign with the teams they want to play for and their cap hit means more than their take home. It’s a job folks, for the massive majority of players what they get to take home matters more than their cap hit.

I just wish the league would change the cap to take home amounts, they don’t want Canadian teams to have the advantage tho, it’s pretty obvious.
