@JeffVeillette I don’t think anyone is expecting Vézina caliber. I think he’s a goalie who going to give the leafs a reliable 50starts, and the ability to steal a game.
It’s been assumed Knies will be part of a package if Toronto lands Zach Werenski. See how things develop, but there’s a chance the Leafs won’t have to give up the power forward if this trade comes together.
@JeffVeillette Didn’t see that one, the ones that seem to be going around are of Simmons, whom nooone no longer respects.
I can get past the red flags, it’s the fact that I can’t see where he’s been involved in hockey since his departure from Arizona.
tax-adjusted salary cap.
Each team’s number shows how high their cap would need to be so players take home the same $ as a low-tax team.
What’s included:
• Federal + state/provincial income taxes
• Estimated “jock tax” from road games
• A blended effective tax rate per team
The Senators behind the scenes had been lobbying the NHL for quite a while on the forfeited 1st RD pick and as the league said in the statement what got traction was that the Dadonov screw-up happened under former ownership and former management. The more the league thought about it, the more that hit home.
A $1M fine is not nothing, but the Sens for sure are satisfied with this result, getting the 32nd overall pick, and happy to put it behind them and move forward.
Mitch Marner says goodbye to Toronto on IG. He says all he wanted to do was bring a Stanley Cup to his hometown: "I gave everything I had, but in the end it wasn't enough. That's hard to admit because I wanted it so badly for all of us."
