Getting 4 first round picks wouldn't screw the Leafs too bad
- systemtool

True.
Depending on what they do with them. Also, I dont think it would be four 1st would it?
We have to remember that Knies has been great playing with all world players like Matthews and Marner

I'm not sure what the learning experience people are talking about would be.

Stolarz had a pedestrian game - which has been unusual for him - and the team missed scoring the winner by hitting a goalpost with an empty net.

I think most models say that Ottawa had an edge in the play but my eyes said that the Leafs played a very good game.

Yea I’m just speaking in general. I probably listen to too much sports talk radio, overdrive etc, and it’s become platitudinous.

Oilers making a series of it.
Crazy

There is 2 games tonight.

Game 4 for the Lightning vs Panthers at 7pm and Game 5 for the Avalanche vs Stars at 9:30pm.

4 1sts might have great value - depending on who you get them from.

I figure for a team to actually make this sort of an offer sheet happen they would need to go in with a price so high that Toronto couldn't or wouldn't match. So the first tier is actually $9.2m - $11.45m and all you lose is 2 1sts, a 2nd and a 3rd.

I love Knies but I don't know if I'd match an $11m contract. These are the teams that have those picks available: Anaheim, Boston, Calgary, Chicago, Detroit, Edmonton, LA, Montreal, Nashville, Jersey, Philly, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Utah and Vegas

Now over $11.45, it's 4 1sts and there's more teams that actually have their next 4 1sts: Ducks, Bruins, Sabres, Hurricanes, Blue Jackets, Flames, Blackhawks, Avalanche, Red Wings, Oilers, Panthers, Kings, Wild, Canadiens, Predators, Devils, Islanders, Rangers, Senators, Flyers, Penguins, Kraken, Sharks, Blues, Hockey Club, Canucks, Golden Knights, Capitals and Jets

So really the question is which teams have the capspace available and fancy themselves a team that could make some big noise with a guy like Knies? A rebuilding team that has started taking steps who would love to have a young guy come in and join their group? An established team with lower contracts?

So let's say it was a Utah, Anaheim, San Jose or Columbus? There's a decent chance that at least 2 of those 4 picks are going to be high - in the next few years, it's possibly franchise altering high. That said there are other teams who would make moves to have it happen - like Vegas or the Rangers - and those 4 picks could all suck royally.

I fear that he wants to go play for his home team.

what makes it worse is we lose one of four games and of course its after the 1 loss we have to sit on it for 2 days.

I could easily see a team make a $9M offer - that's only a 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Anaheim, Boston, Calgary, Chicago, Detroit, Kings, Habs, Predators, Devils, Flyers, Penguins, Kraken, Utah.

Plenty of teams on that list will be tempted.

Berube manages like I do. I always talk about my employees positivity in public, but in meetings with the head office I’m saying something much different.

Why would he depreciate Willys value for when he gets traded this summer?

So you think he goes behind peoples backs and doesn't tell them their issues to improve?

Nice.

Maybe he gets young players to list the five laziest players on the team...

I wonder if Berube comes onto a random internet discussion board and brags about allegedly getting someone fired who dared to complain about him to HR?

🤣🤣🤣

Maybe that's what the Leafs need.

I think leafs match any offer and I can’t see one of the those teams getting to the 4 1st round picks offer sheet numbers. Knies is great but 4 1st rounders is insane.

We will match, but it doesn't leave a lot of $$$ for Marner and Tavares.

John Tavares says the concussion spotter pulled him out of overtime in Game 4. He cleared the tests to return.

So concussion spotter cost us the sweep. Jerks

He did return though...just after the PP

Cheapest seats for tomorrow night's game: $400.

Tons of seats left - I suspect the prices will drop tomorrow afternoon.

I fear that he wants to go play for his home team.

He's gonna have to play a lot worse if he wants to go to Tucson.
