Well well well… looks like the Leafs are going to re-sign Mitchy.


Who’da thunk?

It's a Dreger Report, who's in cahoots with Paul, so probably true... for now.

And not really a report ...a best guess that he'll be a Leaf and that Tree would prefer to sign him rather than trade him ...with the BIG qualifier ....how much $$.

He also said - that there haven't been any extension talks between MM and Leafs.

So basically ...empty calories all around.

13M x 8

If the Leafs could pull that off, it would be the best contract they ever signed.

Alright then.

Honestly I think it’s bacteria from permafrost thaw that’s going to (frank) the cap.

This place is going to be wild when Mitch has a 125pt season in a contract year and Nylander levels off to his usual 70pt self.

Is 11.5M too much for a 70pt player who doesn’t play a lick of defence?

Maybe. The pressure to waive his NMC will be measured in gigapascals.

Mother Nature keeps disappointing me. I keep waiting for Captain Tripps and all we get is various forms of the flu. This place is too crowded anyway.

there is no way that 55 points separate them next season (assuming both play 82)

you say the wildest poop sometimes

In of the more obscure quatrains that Nostradamus wrote, is this nugget :

In the time of gemini, the greedy big hat biitch will travel south
there will be gnashing of teeth and tearing of robes
the new sovereign will arrive from a distant land
much upheaval, yet nobody is happy

It’s entirely possible.

Nylander had a career year because it was a contract year.

Mitch always plays strong defence. But he saw what Nylander did and played selfishly to get a huge contract, so there’s no reason why Mitch couldn’t say, “(frank) defence, I’m going for points.”

Nylander will never sniff 90pts again.

What he going to say?

Stop tearing up the league and play more defence?

He’ll have his hands full trying to get Willy to do something other than hangout by the offensive zone blueline.
