I have said before that I think Matthews will bail on this team when he has the choice, and that I think he does not have the right personality and drive that the Leafs need (they already have this with their captain and to some extent Marner).

Obtaining the #1 pick would be interesting though. I think there would be an argument to keep the team together and trade the #1 pick to a team like the Habs who would possibly overpay. Adding players like Weber, Gallagher, Byron, Petry, etc. would probably push the Leafs to the cup.

...but then, as I said, they'd have a cup and no Lafreniere and Matthews will bail on them.

I really appreciate your unique perspective on this, which is based upon your numerous interactions with him over the years and your look into the psychological tests you have run and of course the time you have spent with the Leafs at practice and in the dressing room, and in no way is based upon your weird inferiority complex towards Toronto which causes an extreme amount of butt-hurt.

It's my bias towards the Bruins and the last time both clubs did a trade *cough*Kessel*cough*.

Hey dude...The last time the Flyers played Bruins in the playoffs...we went down 3 games to none...peeled off 3 wins in a row...then went INTO boston for Game 7. (sound familiar???)...

So we go down 3-0 in the first period...bruins fans going nuts...crazy...insane...

But Flyers aren’t chokers so JVR pops one in before the period ends...

Then...yadda yadda yadda...simogne gagne 3rd period PP goal...

Yadda yadda yadda bruins‘ fans eat sht.

We wrote the instructional manual on how to beat the bruins!!!

If you’re into the classics you can even YouTube Game 6 1974 Finals when we won our first cup...they had Orr and Espo and their whole superstar lineup.

F...that Bruins team was probably beating the Leafs by like 15-2...something like that.

I will die laughing if B plays T again!!!

Will Shanny have to admit that hiring a 16 year old to run hockey ops was a horrible idea??? Probably.

Sonny..this ain’t the Soo...your mommy’s calling you home for dinner...KD and diced wieners!!! Mmmmm

The habs dont have the assets to acquire laf without emptying what talent they have.
As for matthews, meh we'll see. Its 4/5 years away.
If the leafs are able to bring mcdavid home, then i really won't care at all what matthews does.
But no one knows what will happen 4/5 years down the road, so who cares

How are you here at this very moment in your life? Did you arrive at this point in life because you willed it or because you were destined to be here?.......asking stupid questions.
How?

Also, if you punch yourself and it hurts, are you weak or are you strong?

Not Kap, Johnsson..

The guy originally said Kap. I fixed it to Johnsson and added only if the Leafs then flip Ristolainen on some sad sac GM.

So what you're saying is that you make it a point to be wrong on the regular?

Go into chrome, hit f12, mouse over the code under elements tab and it'll highlight corresponding object on the page.

Pretty useful for getting rid of some paywall overlays because you can actually identify and delete code from your page instance.

I have no clue how old she is because no matter how many times I watch her I just can’t make my 👀 go up to her face.
