Lots of room for trash on the Latvian Locomotive. Look out for the incoming snipeshow. Maybe we'll find a veritable treasure trove of assets! 5 premium pieces even.

Matthews is 0-3 in the playoffs as the face of the franchise and leader of the team.

you know that's NOT quality if you know anything about hockey

OH.....for ...THREE...…..that's really disturbing. There has to be an underlying issue for all his playoff failures

Give it a rest man

Either you are spending a whole weekday trolling about the leafs or you are just spitting nonsense.

Do something productive ffs

You spew bull poop to get something out of posters on here. It’s blatantly obvious.

You also toss a few ignorant comments as well like “you know nothing about hockey” and “nothing I said isn’t true”. Usually posters comment that when they are insecure about themselves and try to convince themselves they aren’t trolling.

Your comments are pure crap. You seem to have been on here all day saying the same poop over and over again like your life depends on it being true. Go do something productive.

We're talking playoff success. This clearly wasn't in the playoffs because it's against Buffalo.

The athletic has a good article today on how much NHL players really make.

It’s still a lot obviously...but a 5 million dollar contract is a lot less then we think.

Escrow shaves almost a million off that.

The diet these players have to be on, the lifestyle. Every player has to buy a few 1,000$ suits.

And the staff for each teams are incredibly underpaid(which I didn’t know) and players are expected to tip them like restaurants.

It all adds up.

This is a big LOL coming from the Team that hasn't won a playoff series since 2004.

Can't wait for that "hometown discount" of $11 million

Hyman for Captain.
Best option by far.
Assistants are Rielly and Tavares.

Trade Nylander to fit in Marner's 8 x 11.16mln AAV contract under the cap - killing 2 birds with one stone.

Go Leafs!

Maybe 5th or 6th at best.

I think it’ll be JT

The C is more for the media and fans. I don’t think it changes much for the team.

A letter doesn’t change the leadership that has developed over the years.

But it seems JT is the best with the media, he never seems angry towards them. He’s been the one player who’s been actually talking about marner this summer.

I’d say JT with a close second to Matthews.


Edit: I wish NHL steaks did it like we did in pee wee just have everyone on the team vote.

- Santo_44


Didn't the Habs do that?

And Subban was angry that the only vote he got was his own?

I'm turning down $10mil X 8 years every single day of the week if I'm Marner because I am simply worth much much more than that.

5 years X $10.5 million is a fair deal on both sides. Maybe Marner gives us an extra year as a favor and goes for 6.

Just my opinion, man. I think Marner is electric and exciting to watch. I just think AM and JT are better players.

- JT has been a star in the league for years. Constantly putting up good numbers. He’s made players around him better his whole career, not just one season. Also good enough for Team Canada is pretty solid reasoning also.

- AM scores. He’s a Centre. He scores at 5v5. Not too sure the stat but since coming into the league he’s amongst the top 3 I think. He stronger along the boards. I get position dictates, but he doesn’t play anyone near as talented as JT. (Respectfully). Maybe a stretch as another point, but 1st overall pick.

- Marner kills penalties, absolutely. I don’t think his 5v5 defensive game is dominent though. Just average. His PK is good for sure. He’s great at using his offensive anticipation/read when he’s on the PK.

I suppose I’m gonna show my age by looking at it this way, but I still believe players should be paid on merit/what they show consistently vs what they are thought to be capable of. I guess a mix of those thoughts is probably the best.

Again, I like watching Marner play and he’s a real good player, just not worth being paid like the other 2. At least not yet.

That's a factual thought.
