Thread: Leafs 2021 Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kingsfaninSD</b></div><div>Kings will be in the mix in two years with next year battling for the 8th seed. Retaining salary doesn't make sense on one your leaders on D. The Kings are getting their pipeline stocked already, they don't need all of those draft picks, Toronto will need them when they blow the team up after next year.</div></div>

The Kings are not likely to be in the mix with how competitive the western conference is for the next few years. The picks will allow them to stockpile blue chip prospects in the early rounds with high potential in hopes that at least a few reach their potential. Those entry level contracts combined with Kopiter, Quick, Brown, and the rest of the core is how they will contend again.

Thread: Habs Contending Team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dewbee </b></div><div>I glossed over the random 6th and 7th rounders and assumed it was RFA offer sheet compensation. After taking a closer look, you sold Edmonton a bunch of mooks for a package of garbage late rounders. And I did neglect to properly roast you for signing a 37, a 39 and a 40 year old and then using a straight face to call this a contending team. My apologies for missing all of that earlier, I hope I did not offend.</div></div>

You are demonstrating ageism with your comment. These players may be older than other players in their "prime" but that does not mean they are unable to produce. Joe Thornton had 51 points last year in 73 games. Clayton Keller puts up 47 points in 82 games and nobody bats an eye at the ridiculous 8yr/57 200 000 contract given to him. Joe Thornton is a much better value player. Don't old shame him.
