Why do you have 7 scratches... could've at leasr tried to make it cap compliant

Because whoever is going to be scratched is still TBD, take your picks

That makes the Leaf almost cap compliant. 22 man roster 5 players at 700,000 is 3.5m

Aren't they allowed to go slightly over due to some LTIR shenanigans?

Fridge all but said he declined it.
Marner needs to go.

Hyman is going to be ready day 1 it looks so only Dermott in LTIR with Horton and Clarkson of course.

It's getting insane now, I question whether he actually wants to be a Leaf

It's ridiculous. If I were GM no way I would go as high as 11 million even on a 7 year deal...but you know what? Now fans of other teams can't come claiming that Dubas is being cheap.

No one thinks Dubas is cheap. In fact most fans of other teams have the perception that he's quick to cave to a player/agent's demands.

The insane part is that he wants to be a leaf, he wants the contract that he's pushing, he's not willing to bend on it so far AND he's pushing the narrative that he's being disrespected. Lol! This is precious..

Paul and his puppets aren't helping either

Paul might be the puppeteer of the many other Pauls. Who knows? But at a certain point watching dysfunction like this is like watching a car wreck.

I still don't know how Dreger hasn't been fired after all this

Give it time. After SN cleaned house cause they're tanking in the ratings TSN might not be far off. People tend to tune out after enough bs. Paul Dreger doesn't strike me as a long term strategic thinker with a ton of authenticity. Just give him and his flapping gums and his ego enough rope...

Except I'm not sure who would take him with these demands.

He's lost a lot of credibility, now he's just a mouthpiece for the players and their agents. I'm actually convinced Paul Marner is paying him

Lol. He might be! And that's why Mitch needs such a big contract. Payroll is a killer on cashflow.. just think of all the Paul's out there that Paul needs to pay

Ferris, Dreger, Bolland are the only ones. Everyone else is a Paul Marner burner account, hell, there's plenty on this website

Lol the 11x5 I projected him at earlier in the summer might come true...

The one and only Paul cant have that much free time on his hands. Have you never watched the movie Minions? That's how you get sh*t done.. lol

Right right, Ferris and Dreger probably have them too. I can't wait to see how much Paul pays Bolland after his little twitter tirade. Funny considering the best thing Bolland did as a Leaf was decline the 5x5 extension they gave him

If he turned that down... I think he needs new representation.

where did he say this? was it a podcast or something? i couldnt find it on his twitter

It was in a podcast

A lot of people on here say he's cheap and that we need to pay Mitch whatever he wants, but then contradict themselves by saying dubas buckles under pressure.
