Wasn’t he on waivers like a week ago? Not sure why we didn’t just claim him, or half a dozen other guys of similar value (ABB?) on waivers rather than give up a 7th


Reminds me of the Chucky trade we did last year. I guess Ottawa wanted to wait for him to clear before making a move for him

I would really like Lou to sell high on Mayfield next summer. He’s a 6’5 RHD, physical and good defensively. He should start the bidding at two 1sts.


Two 1sts? That's a steal according to 80% of GM's.

It really do be like that sometimes. And not about everything; I'm not so arrogant as to say that I could capably run an NHL team. But when it comes to personnel decisions as far as on-ice product, yes, I am confident that many of the more invested/intelligent followers of the game could make better decisions than certain GM's.

He's not playing in Montreal, yes, but the red wings aren't clear on his is or isn't getting payed for it, at least if this article is to be believed.

Well Gambrell for a 7th, Ottawa wins just cause Gambrell has shown the potential to be decent, a 7th is a very bad magic bean

Yep

Only the NBA allowed for unvaccinated guys to cross the border to Canada. But they have to have 3 or more negative tests before playing. Or did they change that

IDK there covid rules are so disorganized and weird lul

Danault "didn't want to settle on a third line" in MTL. He was on the 3rd line with Grundstrom and Moore last game in LA.

Entirely disagree with this. Absolutely no one on this website would be able to be an NHL GM. Posting on a forum doesn't convey the interpersonal skills you need in order to complete two of the three major aspects of the position (signings, trades). I think people forget you're not going to be discussing with a bunch of fans, you're talking with other people who have their own goals. Most of the people on this website can barely manage their emotions during an argument so I doubt they'll be successful when it comes to a hockey franchise.

So what you are telling me is that players in New York and SF can't play at home if they are unvaxxed but they can play in Canada? What the heck?

Really glad you decided to stop pretending to be a Toronto fan because these are some pretty abysmal takes 6 games into a season.


I’m sorry but the fact that diehard Leafs fans refuse to DEMAND changes shows how much of joke the Leafs fanbase is/can be.

Matthews and Marner have made the exact same mistakes for 6 seasons now and they’ve straight up refuse to learn from them. It’s unacceptable.

After all, why would they learn, they have a boss who’d cave to every single demand they have, a person who gave them deals they did nothing to prove they deserved. If AM has an AAV of 11M, the term needed to be 8 years(or if the term was 5, the AAV needed to be 9,5M. For MM, if the AAV needs to be at 10,9M, the term needed to be 8 years, or if the term needed to be 6 years then the AAV needed to be at 8,75M.

Also GTFO of here with that argument of « fake Leafs fans », cause I can guarenteee you I’d scream from a rooftop in 3-4 years if Kakko, Fox, Laffy, Lindgren and Miller made the same mistakes they used to make when they were rookies
