@whereisab@FriedgeHNIC Columbus also traded for a guy Toronto had on waivers lol. They are just throw in pieces to make the math work for salary cap reasons
@Takhar77 Sometimes there is a backdoor agreement with teams who are up against the cap. "We will sign you for sure, but we need time to get cap compliant. Sign a PTO for now and we'll get a contract ready for you in the meantime time"
@FAmmiranteTFJ You're delusional if you thought he was going to fetch a return for much more then they got. Good asset management for a 35 year old rental pitcher on a sharp decline, and expiring contract.
@PuckPedia Mitch is a spoiled and entitled little bitch boy. But no wonder he is, because of how he was raised. Parents who were the epitome of the crazy hockey parents bullying referees and other parents/players of opposing teams. Even mom going full Karen, fighting because of a jersey num
@JayOnSC Hot take...the Panthers may not even make the playoffs. They'll spend too much time in the penalty box and will get lit up by opposing team's power plays
@FriedgeHNIC It's one thing for your captain to bail and go to a divisional rival. But your franchise icon bails to go to your most hated and provincial rival?? That's a big kick in the balls right there π
@FreePeteyEP40@FriedgeHNIC He didn't request to be traded. He just wouldn't commit to extending his contract before it expires and said he still plans to honor the remaining 2 years.
@IanMacvicar@nylanderthews Absolutely...if you can see the bigger picture here. Knies is a unicorn player just about to hit his early prime years. His contract is an absolute gem. Long term, low cap hit and no trade protection. He wants to be in T.O.and will only be traded for an offer way to good to pass
@MartyYork Because he was never that guy for the Leafs in the playoffs. When is everyone going to realize that his success this year doesn't change the fact that he was a disappointment in Toronto when the games mattered the most. He doesn't get a get out of jail free card from Leafs fans
@Flutaccc@_InYourCase Unfortunately that's American and Canadian liberal politics in a nutshell. White people speaking on behalf of every foreign culture and religion, worrying about offending everyone
