"run out of town" ... as in Marner was scouting houses in Vegas a year before, Vegas caught for tampering, Marner refused re-sign offers, Leafs forced to settle for sign and trade deal. you mean THAT run out of town?
Leafs GM John Chayka on potential to trade 1st overall:
"I would say the probability is we take the pick just realistically ... Obviously everything is for sale at the right price, but to date there’s nothing compelling that we’re seriously considering, but there’s still time"
Get-in price — the cheapest seat in Madison Square Garden for Game 3 — is now selling for more than $6,000.
Lowers are $9,000.
Courtsides start at $50,000.
Only thing that would ever compare to this would be Stanley Cup Final game in Toronto.
ok lemme get this straight. Chayka wanted Carle, Carle says I'm good. Now Chayka wants NHL experience coach so we are back on the "hire from the NHL graveyard of unwanted ex-coaches" ride again. Fuk.
Dreger: sources say Dave Nonis has been asked for permission to discuss with himself how he has been banished from hockey. Again, I am hearing this on the ground, situation developing
Mitch Marner didn't want to elaborate on his comment about going through "dark times" earlier in his hockey career, but says he will if the Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup.
So Leafs new FO currently looks like:
Chayka - GM
Sundin - Senior Exec. Advisor
Hamilton - Chief Of Staff
Brackett - AGM
Wickenheiser- AGM
Hardy - AGM
Metcalf - AGM
Leach - Dir. Am. Scouting
That’s.. uh.. a fantastic FO for a guy who’s “hated around the league”.
I like these adds. Brackett is a straight up steal, and Hamilton brings youthful smarts to the table. You know what else is really refreshing? No Keith fuckijng Pelley lording it over the press briefings.
Exactly. it's like dumping a load of old clothes and used camping gear at Value Village and getting a $10 off coupon. the bigger win is getting rid of the dead weight. ⛺️💸
yea yea, let's size up a Matthew Knies trade. Hey, if we really cash in, hopefully we can get a future talent that develops into a player like ... Matthew Knies.
Just do a full AI breakdown of the build and rise of Carolina over the past 5 years. There is no core 4 taking up massive % of cap, leaving the team starving for balance. Fucking copy the build. Spare me on the run it back again copy trade.
@HockeyFanTML right? it's the age band as well. Knies is 23! Anyone over 27 or 28 is on the block, including Matthews. Look at getting younger, faster, better D.
