Get ready for Snoop





Or the Weeknd, he’s also in a different Sens bid, I’m not sure why the Sens attracted so many celebs but they did

Blackhawks should sign Milan Lucic to a ridiculous contract for Funzies, Chiarelli style. Obviously who Kyle Davidsson is most influenced by.

For me honestly

Sign Killorn and extend ROR, Acciari, Schenn

Thats my offseason idea.

If u want to make a trade be ****ing careful as we dont want to have another Kadri situation (Trade him hes the problem)

Mitch Marner is Carmelo Anthony?

A top 10 at their position who is a net negative during the playoffs because in each case the style of play that runs through them has much smaller impact in playoff settings.

Will it continue:

Carmelo signed an elc, then max contract, then was involved in a gigantic trade, ultimately playing for 5 teams and paid extremely well for it, and has one of the worst playoff records of all time.

I’m not a hater, in fact I don’t see anything wrong with this. When Matthew Tkachuk was punching Marner, his instincts could have said many things. It isn’t his fault what his picks, and he is top 10 at his position in the entire world, will never worry about money, will get to pick where he goes every time. Any franchise that gets him is going to have pretty happy fans, but are they removing themselves from cup contention?

As the NHL changes, I wonder if the values of skaters who play very direct, whether quick release, north south tendency, or even physical instigation see a rise in value as they’re proving to beat more skilled skaters who are the opposite. In both Marner and Carmelo’s case, I’d argue each is substantially more skilled than most of their competition every night.

People sometimes be to silly for their own good. If Leafs won vs FLA then lost vs CAR people would be doing the same thing.

Hes a very good 2-way wing who made top 3 Selke contention. He has grown and will continue to do so. Teams still got growing to do but u want a guy like Marner on your team as he makes C's around him better. Look at Matthews with him vs Away, Same with JT, Kadri and Bozak. Basically u can win a cup with this guy. As every top C would go hey make it work I want this guy feeding me pucks.

People just finding scapegoats. And to me we are on the verge of another Kadri disaster.

Honestly with almost 20mill and not a great UFA class aggressive 1 year deals might be best for Toronto next to potential trades

Could do it in a way where u bring in Patches, ROR, and EJ on 1 year deals

Haha, so I actually wasn't all that upset about the loss last night. Really just accepted what happened.

Was traveling today and on the bus, so I checked Twitter. I think the 40000 "we want florida" taunts and all the crap takes made me feel worse about. Did the smart thing and uninstalled Twitter.

The moral of the story is that social media is bad.

Social media is bad and controversy will follow this team like a bee to nectar

All I will say is for all teams NHL needs to make changes to prevent long reviews like this but with Bettman running things got 0 faith lul

Leafs fans annoy me year round. At least these Florida fans will vanish in two weeks.

The flyers should sign Jack Johnson to an 8 year $64M deal because that’s what Torts will definitely like

Nah, there pace is more washed up star/(or borderline). Toews maybe?

Probably not though we have the best GM in the league now. Danny Briere has never lost a trade, He's elite.

I would say the deal signed by Zach Hyman in Edmonton. He also had some injury history that discounted his number.

Maybe $5.5m x 6 years
