"Pierre LeBrun: Anaheim, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles among teams interested in Marner; Florida, Vegas are of interest to Marner, among others - TSN 1050" it will be really hard to outbid anaheim and chicago. we might be better off being a cap repository for vegas and/or florida if they need to create space by selling low on some of their players.

gaudreau went from 40 goals with calgary to 21 to 12.

remember how bad you wanted elias lindholm? you want that now? sometimes dudes are done.

most unsurprising thing ever. brendan drafted nylander, marner, and matthews. then signed tavares. not bad. however...with all that talent they only madr it out of the first round TWICE. and he sooooooooooo messed up the marner situation that its going to leave the leafs with (probably) nothing for one of their best players. leafs podcasts have been so funny lately.

hopefully he wont be too mean to the players...

any time canada loses its good for hockey. sorry stanley. no offense.

haliburton v brunson and townes. shoot me. good to see the knicks lose in yhe garden. send all their rich fans home unhappy.

is he tp fan?

yeah. at 11.5 million a year for the next five years or so? no team is trading for that deal. no sane team.

he's not wrong...

the canucks would do backflips is ANY TEAM would take pettersson off their hands.

chicago is going to throw a bank truck full of money at him. 7×15 would not surprise me. they have more cap space than anyone and a need for a star to play alongside their underperforming superstar. marner-bedard-whomever is a killer line. at least in the regular season. and the hawks dont really care how productive it is in the playoffs but only care that it would be IN the playoffs. i dont see much of a chance for the wings to outbid teams for marner. other teams have as much or more cap space. better off paying way too much for gavrikov or marchand or tavares. although i think marchand goes back to boston and tavares stays in toronto.

happy leafs elimination day to all who celebrate.

i'll remember that when i read your reaction to the pistons signing duren to a $30m per year extension.

if your ultimate goal is to remain below the cap and DEFINITELY below the tax, 30 is spending.

spending on that core would leave the bulls exactly where they want to be: firmly in the play-in game every year and under the luxury tax.

given how poorly cossa played down the stretch and in the playoffs, its not a big surprise that they dont feel he's ready. they have a pretty good backup plan in augustine, but he went back to msu.

lions down to a .5 underdog on draftkings. youre going to get a lot of different lines from different books for something so far off in the future.

he's really become a guy who quits the moment things get tough and he doesnt think they have a legit chance to win. he looked like he couldnt have cared less. draymond may be a psycopath but you cant say he doesnt care.

so much for playoff jimmy.

1) they havent lost yet. 2) they say that after each time they lose and they havent done it. you dont just get rid of a guy like matthews. he's a generational offensive talent. the leafs continually remind me of the 90s wings. great offensive regular season team who was too soft and was constantly bounced early in the playoffs. its not a perfect analogy because yzerman was much tougher than matthews and had had some playoff "success" in the 80s (albeit against the ol' weak norris division), but there are some striking similarities. it took the wings getting konstantinov/larianov/fetisov to make fedorov play tougher and shanahan adding actual toughness before they could get over the hump. a generational all-world defenseman didnt hurt either. the leafs need their scotty bowman and brendan shanahan (the player, not the exec). the rumors that they were going to deal marner for rantanan would have been a good playoff trade for them. but part of me thinks that's just another way for the fan base to demonize marner.

get ready for a parade of knicks or celtics players to the foul line. and i doubt theyre looking forward to okc being in the finals either.

lions open a 1.5 point underdog at green bay.

ever since you posted this the leafs have fallen apart. good work, my friend. good work.

love the celtics going small and putting holliday or white on kat. spread em out and drive. they put the knicks in the bonus with 10 minutes left in the game. not by standing around and watching tatum and brown shooting fade away 3s, but with cutting and movement to the basket.
