@BarDown @markhmasters Any real Leafs fan who doesn’t think this is a good idea is a moron. Take off the goofy political or cynical glasses - Scottsdale vs Muskoka in late September? ☀️ No brainer.

@markhmasters @TSN_Sports Attends prospect camp? ✅ The kid keeps making smart decisions. Kudos to his family, agent and advisers.

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@michaelgrange Gotta add poor BI and Grady to the list. Left in limbo all summer before landing with a franchise stripped of 1st round picks for the next 1/2 decade (along with its upper management).

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@bnicholsonsmith Hmmm…you know who else has 7 HRs and an OPS near .700?

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@jtbourne Jan 12. Leafs beat Avs 4-3 in OT to go (8-0-2) in 10. That was a mirage. So is this. Jays are plucky. Well managed. But too beat up.

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@bnicholsonsmith Kudos to the GM. Contrast Atkins answer with how Vladdy answered the same question. Personal accountability goes a long with Blue Jays fans. (And Atkins has had a good season e.g. Cease, Rogers, Okamoto. He can’t control injuries and under performing).

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@ByTimReynolds You listed 10 teams in the East and Raps with Kawhi and Scottie Barnes aren’t one of the Top 10? C’mon man.

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@thehazelmae @bnicholsonsmith Forget the other guys. Focus only on you getting better. 100% you.

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@KeeganMatheson Sell.

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@KeeganMatheson Sell at the trade deadline. We’re all shocked at what’s happened. But let’s be pragmatic. Especially with a stream of bad injury update news on Barger, Scherzer and Garcia today. 2025 was special. 2026 wasn’t meant to be 😞

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@nationalpost I’m all for transparency on the spending of elected officials like our PM. But, shouldn’t we also be asking how food and beverage vendors can charge that much. Anyone vetting the line items?

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@JoshuaHowsam I’m also a big fan. You’re right, she’s very insightful. Bright mind. Brings joy to the broadcast. Credible. If the analysis is good I could give a crap about gender, or MLB experience.

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@SamAMcKee @jtbourne @RealKyper Great show boys. Everyday staple.

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@mcclusk Agreed. Chayka has created 2 paths simultaneously (which I thought would be impossible): 1. win this year and next while also 2. planning for possible AM34 departure in 2028 with tonnes of cap space and rebuilt a farm system

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@Jay_D_Rosehill I’d give it an A. Why? I can see the vision: improve the bottom 6 to allow AM34 and others to have less DZ starts. Add real speed and size. Also flexibility with vets who’ve played C/W. And more RH shooters. AND they added a world class goalie. Risks? Sure. That’s a FA constant.

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@jonassiegel If you trade Knies, Cowan, Danford and a 1st for ZW…and then Werenski leaves after 2 years and no Cup, the what? And if ZW leaves guess who else leaves? I say the above is WAY too much. Carolina won a Cup without a Werenski type D. And Florida. Twice.

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@KeeganMatheson Shocking regression of power. Failure of Jays to catapult momentum from last season’s WS run is crushing. Significant injuries? Sure. Expected regression from Springer. Yes. But it’s Vlad. He is the reason. Fans were jacked. Stadium is packed. Arrrghh!

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@FAN590 @RealKyper @jtbourne @SamAMcKee Fans and media seem confused by Chayka listening to offers for Knies. Seems simple to me. Until AM34 confirms a commitment beyond 2027 Leafs need to be prepared to pivot quickly this summer, or by Christmas

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@FriedgeHNIC Great upgrade for Leafs D. Will be interesting to see what they gave up though.

[Matt Carter @mattroycarter99]

@jtbourne I like the trade. Appropriately risk. 3rd rounder and upside puck moving D who’s younger than Benoit. Plus an additional $5M of cap space? Good. If the 4 Leafs goalies, Woll was the one who made the most sense to go.
