He's not a bum...he's just one of those guys when it gets real, hides. They league has had a long history of guys like that. Hell, we had one in Phil Housley years ago.

As soon as the heat gets turned up, some guys just cower. its just a shame that a player with Matthews skills doesn't have the heart to go with it.

Imagine if he had Messiers, McDavid, Crosby, Eichels, or Ovie's heart?

Wow. That would be something to see. But the pre-draft reports warned about his warts. A leopard cant change his spots I guess.

But at least he gets ya into the first round. That's more than Torontos had forever. SO theres that.

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.

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.

yeah i feel so bad about cody ceci's 4.5 million dollar struggle.

Kucherov and Stone are both better players..now (if you care about contributions to winning Offensivly and defensively and not just points). and signed away UFA years.
- senstroll

oh great...intangibles.

Kuch is better....Stone is not. No comparable

Poor guys.

Like I said before...escrow will be the main issue for the next cba....players want to be paid what theyve signed for.

The same can be said of AM34. The Bruins were checking the lineup post game to see if he even dressed
- RippedFuel

You mean the same AM that lead the Leafs in playoff scoring last year in points and goals? That one disappeared?

Yep, the one that hasn't yet led his team to even a single playoff series win, despite getting paid and praised like he's one of the top players in the game.

Results matter....0-3

Agreed, Echl has not nearly lived up to his attitude or his salary that set a ridiculous precedent for the better-managed organizations.

Last I checked hockey is a team sport...tough to win a 7 game series by yourself.
Just admit you look like a jackass, and are talking outta your ass, and we can put this to bed.
You said he was invisible, and it was shown he led team in goals and points in playoffs last year, now you just look stupid trying to keep up this troll job.

BTW...he was 3rd in NHL last year in scoring chances created, behind only McDavid & Crosby.
