No thanks from LA. Rental Rielly isn't worth a 1st, and the Kings can no longer afford to extend him.

Good Lawd.

Toronto pays Buffalo to take their cap dumps

Mikheyev is not a cap dump. He’s actually really good. Not that it shielded on the game sheets all that well. But a quick look at Themis agm should show you what type of mind is at work here.

Rental Rielly is a first for sure. Regardless of what ka does with him. That is their business.

This team is horrible. Are you a Habs fan?

I would gladly trade Marner for all those picks before ever thinking about trading Matthews tbh

Let me rephrase, LA won't give up a 1st for rental Rielly.

It is fitting that if you were going to be a terrible gm, you'd do your best to hire a terrible coach and make the team terrible

That makes more sense.

Personally I think they can afford Rielly and need a guy like him next season. Matta and edler come off the books. They have no real top 4 Lhd.

They can't afford Rielly next season, unless he wants to extend at his current AAV. Anderson and Bjornfot are both top 4 LHD. It's still up in the air whether either will become a top pairing guy, but they're both at least 2nd pairing guys. Doughty has already said that he wants to be paired with Anderson again next season, so he's destined for the top pair.

This is... Word don't describe how bad.

As opposed to the fantastic team that hasn't made it out of the first round ? BTW the Habs made it to the finals with a much inferior team

Are you saying that Tortorella is a terrible coach ? He may have a short shelf life but he does get the most out of his players . Unlike the last four years where Toronto's coaching staffs have been out coached

Matthews is gone once his contract is up get used to that idea

Exactly right, fantastic team lost to an inferior team. **** happens. Your theory of “what if I make them worse than the Habs” doesn’t hold water.

Maybe he is and maybe he isn’t. No team controls where a player stays.

The sabres are tanking and have enough middle six forwards theyre trying to trade away

I agree, that doesn’t make Mikheyev a cap dump though.

Saying this team is worse doesn't make you right .....they haven't won s#$t with Matthews or Rielly so how have i made the worse ?

yes, i am saying that tortorella is a terrible coach because he can only coach a team built a very specific way and only for a very short time and he treats his players like crap. Just because Keefe isnt a good coach doesnt mean Tortorella is a good one.

because this team wouldnt even make the playoffs

Tortorella always gets the absolute most out of his players yes it only lasts a short time . He's also a master at using your strengths against you . As he did against the Leafs . Also he's won the cup terrible coaches don't win cups

I disagree I think the team they have now are going to barley make it into the playoffs

If you think they are bad now, then what doesmaking them worse offensively and defensively do? Because it doesnt improve things
