Mike Augello: Defensive Depth Continue To Be Glaring Issue; Leafs vs. Blues

First, ceded to Skalapy as per rule #46

Leafs AHL defense has been doing pretty damn good last few games

All the Rielly/Grieg incident did was light a fire under the Leafs and draw media attention to Grieg getting bullied around every other game

Rasmus Andersson 👍

In the biggest non-surprise of the year, Bettman held up the 5 game suspension to Rielly.

The league is such a farce. Everything is optics and nothing is actual policy or process.

Trudeau should start a Canadian professional hockey league.

10 teams in Canada

4 teams in Europe

Halifax
Quebec City
Montreal
Toronto
Thunder Bay
Regina
Saskatoon
Calgary
Vancouver
Stockholm
Riga
Berlin
London

Smaller cities gets 12,000 seat arenas

Teams are owned by fans and players

There’s a salary cap, but each team can pick one player they drafted to not count against the cap.

Junior players decide which draft they want to go into. With Canadian kids having an incentive to stay, tax breaks? Better money? More fun?

(frank) the NHL. It’s all fake now, we just don’t want to admit that we watch the closest thing to WWE, and it’s definitely fixed just based on no Canadian team winning in 31 years.

Mitch could very well end up there by the end of his career, but not there yet

Surprised a bit that someone like you who values toughness and compete level, doesn’t have more respect for the intangibles that Wendel displayed

You are forgiven ☺️

To: TOR - Tanev (2,500,00 retained) + 2024 2nd (CGY)

To: CGY - Timmins + 2024 1st (TOR) + 2024 3rd (NYI thru TOR)

&

To: TOR - Laughton ($1,000,000 retained)

To: PHI - Robertson + 2024 2nd (CGY thru TOR)


Leafs get 2 locker room guys - helpful playoff types - Leafs well rounded now


CGY gets a 1st and a 3rd + depth RHD
PHI gets a young scoring 40 pt. LW + 2nd

I think max a team can retain is 50% so for Tanev that would be $2.25M

I love the additions.

Idk if Philly would go for Robertson, he’s not really a Torts players. I think there potential for a blockbuster trade with Philly.

Liljegren, Samsonov, Brodie, Cowan for Risto, Laughton, Walker, 2024 2nd rd pick.

ok - retaining $2,250,000 then - thanks

Don’t look now but Samsonov is 7-2 over his last 9 starts with 2.11 GAA and 0.92 save% h

Buttman, what a coward
But thsnks, leafs play better without morgan, wish they could play this way with morgan

I wouldn't move a 1st for tanev even with money retained. Id rather move a 1st for a younger D.

3 tough games after Arz. They will need Morgan


Apparently Hanafin wants to sign with the Lightning. Does this mean that Stamkos gets traded or becomes a UFA again?

This.

If you're going to dump another 1st, dump it for a guy that's healthy, young enough to stay for a while, and has at least 2 years of term so he can be re-signed after Tavares' $11m drops off....and he gets (frank)ing sent to any where other than this team.

Ive heard Florida is making a push to get Hanifin

If Hanifin and Tanev both want to sign

Liljregren+ 1st+ Mouldenhauer(3rd round pick)+ Abruzesse(throw in prospect)

then add two 5ths for double retention

- Fakepartofme

No 1st until 2026 and no top 2 picks this year...Need to re sign future 50 goal man Rienhart plus both Montour and Forsling.

I've seen Panthers fans saying it is only possible if they trade Forsling but most don't want to do that.

If Hanifin and Tanev both want to sign

Liljregren+ 1st+ Mouldenhauer(3rd round pick)+ Abruzesse(throw in prospect)

This was our finest Moldenhauer.

This is a better fit

Costly though…..

Abruzzese
Timmins

That is probably better than Vasilevskiy over the same stretch.

If NJD gets Markstrom I think TB misses playoffs
