You know sports talk is really $hitty these days, all you hear and read about are friggin' contract issues with players or players that are getting in trouble off the ice, field or court.
I miss the good old days where you would talk about the pure beauty of the sport such as a great play during a game or even talking about a nice fight between a couple of heavy weights.
I understand that sports is a business but all the fun is being sucked out of it, and all this William Nylander talk just makes me sick.......
thanks, i feel better now. |

That's because way back when, player salaries were not public knowledge |

I understand but that's all that people are taking about these days is MONEY, MONEY AND MONEY and the actual beauty of the game is being neglected.
If you tune into talk radio or even the podcast on this site, 90% of the discussion is about a guy who doesn't have a contract or someone who will be a free agent coming up........enough with this crap..... talk about an upcoming big game such as the game Saturday night against the hated Bruins or how well a guy like Marner is playing instead of his friggin' contract. |

In the no-cap era nobody cared.
Nobody knows - or cares - what MLB players make unless the deal is exceptional. It's not discussed, ever.
The Nylander saga is sucking the life out of the Leafs. We should be focusing on their exceptional play, but that isn't possible.
The cap isn't good for the sport, it's only good for the billionaire owners. |

Agreed. Baseball no one cares about unless its Harper turning down $300 million. |

Not that close...
Vancouver, Buffalo and Vegas being ahead makes me happy. Not that I would normally cheer for the first two on the list... |

If they can get an entry level deal in return for Nylander, this whole thing may be a blessing for the Leafs. Virtanen/Juolevi for Nylander might end up being a steal - Hardbalz

That's insane. I mean, yeah, he's a good player and all but he's not worth that. |

Nationals offered him 10 yrs for $300M and the dude says no.
Reports are that the Phillies are offering even more $$ though |

Sounds great. He might be the final piece of the puzzle.
I'd prefer the Leafs moved a dman for a forward though. The Leafs are 5th in GA, but all the way down in 10th for GF. |

10th? That's terrible. We desperately need a legit #1 C |

They had a few games where they couldn't buy a goal. Surprisingly, all home games.
They'll get better, there's no need to panic. |
