@BringBackBabs Tough contract to manage. Especially after the Carlson offer sheet, teams are going to need to be way more conscious of spending to the cap ceiling.
@logopatt No. Sand pattern. Over spend on 3rd, 4th line, block the prospect pipeline (Marries were pretty good, I assume a couple could have come in and done the same at a far smaller cap hit).
@NeedlesOnNews Not if theyโre freeing up money for July 1, or promoting from within (Marlies players have proven the deserve). 4M+ 3rd or 4th liners need to be better than that.
@NBA__Courtside Sometimes when people show you who they are, you need to trust them.
Ken, Lamelo is NOT serious for any length of time. Heโd be great on the Globe Trotters.
@JLew1050 Ya, all the respect for bringing a title hereโฆ but Im not interested in paying a dude who wasnโt healthy enough to play a full season 7 years ago, to max money with term. Pass.
@NorthsideNabeel Well said. We picked at 19โฆ not like we were passing up on blue chip prospects. The list goes on too! Trading Antwan Jamison for Vince wasnโt popular, Devin was booed because the fans wanted Ed Obanon, etc, etc
@Ihatewinter2026 Maybe Matthews is in play???
Only thing I can think of. Tavares is still an elite 30 goal scoring 2C, could even move up to 1 in a pinch.
@sidseixeiroshow Like the player right now. People seem to forget heโs only been in the league for pretty much 3 seasons, so he should have lots in the tank. Unfortunately, if the intention is to build a young team, this contract may not age well. Kinda signals the Leafs are aiming to win now.
@Jay_D_Rosehill It is us against the world.Agents,players,front offices throw shit to the media for their own gain. I donโt believe heโs being shopped.That said,outside of the 1st overall pick,heโs probably the only piece (doesnโt have a no move) that could bring back multiple assets of value.
@ldl716 Thatโs just it, itโs just talk. Media puts it out there, from the sounds of things agents and other front offices tried stuff out there. Believe it when it happens.
