Larsson signs 4x4

It's amazing how inexpensive players are when we don't have to sign them.


But Holl is "fine" for $2m in the Leafs top 4.

You're really feeling all fat and sassy on a rip for attention here hey, just finished raw dogging your sister and now you're all hopped on that bathtub moonshine camping on the leaf blog?

Shut the (frank) up and find something better to do than fish for reactions online you stupid (frank)ing hillbilly.

He strikes me as a guy who's just currently happy to have a head coaching job enough that it hasn't sunk in that his GM just flubbed this entire expansion process and he's gonna have to put lipstick on this pig.

You never know, I remember people saying the same things about Vegas.

I was hoping they’d take 1 of my fav leafs so I could cheer for them 🤣

To announce a bunch of players that everybody already knows about. Maybe the NHL should have thought this out.
- Garnie


Yes. Cancel the whole thing because poop got leaked. Just shut it down! No man. Of course it would continue.

Vegas took took Rielly Smith, Marchessault, James Neil, William Karlsson, Perron...

Who's generating offence for this team? Eberle and... Yanni Gourde?

Vegas swung 10 deals as part of their expansion and just asset hoarded along the way, allowing them to trade for stone, Pacioretty... Etc. They left the expansion draft with 3 first round picks.

Francis didn't leverage for one single deal so far, and largely didn't even pick the best player available to them.

This is a complete embarrassment.

It will be fun to see what kind of assets Dubas is able to get for Kerfoot this off-season.

It'll be even more fun to see him keep Kerfoot.

Are they announcing the trades at the end?

Or are there just no trades to announce?

It would appear when Francis set the cost to make any deals with a team to avoid a player at a 1st and a 3rd... Every GM in the league told him to (frank) off.

So he said fine, I will take not your best player available without needing anything in return.

I don’t think it’s that kind of show. Pre-programmed selections, that’s it.

Him and his 14 goals actually might be their highest scoring forward after Eberle.

Leafs lost mccann off their roster
Not difficult

- Fakepartofme


He was there for 4 days. Was never gonna play a game for the Leafs.

Leafs lost Hallander & a 7th to the expansion draft.

Since they were gonna lose A player, that's a win for the Leafs, no?

I had heard Francis played hard ball. Wanted top dollar like 1st rounders and teams weren't paying them. In addition, nobody cared about dealing with the other teams.

With Vegas I distinctly remember Vegas coming out and saying if teams tried to trade with each other to get around the protected lists that Vegas would cut them off from any deals.

This time, teams didn't give two poops.

Francis and his set standards/generic pricing across the board approach completely (frank)ed their organization.

Forget the suspect picks, leaving expansion without a single additional draft pick or asset from leveraging the process itself is absurd.

Thank you, NHL should have made some hard rules so it didn’t leak....for us fans to enjoy.

Sorry if I’m irritating you.
