I'm guessing that Marner's family just want him to get paid lots of money for not having done anything yet as well!? HH Isn't that the truth! In the "real" world, we prove ourselves FIRST and then the money follows. In sports they throw money at them in case they turn out good so no one else gets them. lol
aplumma Posted June 24, 2019 Report Posted June 24, 2019 O.K. folks talk hockey and about the teams. You can express your opinions that you hold DO NOT EXPRESS OPINIONS ON THERE OPINIONS if you need clarification send me a P.M. I am really tired of this crap that some of you are expressing about others opinions and the bickering back and forth. I now ask if you disagree with someone to the point that you are going to insult them the simply block them. Bickering and fighting opinions will now get you into the penalty box automatic 1 week suspension from the site. I am tired of refereeing adults and if you do not have the self control to follow the rules then I will help you. Final warning if you think this might be addressed to you it most likely is. Art

WE DO. I am worth 1,000,000 a year,but they wont write up the contract. My agent says, ask for a trade. Oh wait,I have one. LOL

Attitude yes,short fuse,well NO. We don't need guys in the box,we need guys that will defend,and put CLEAN hurts on. They need to be TOUGH. Sadly, today's bringing up in this game ,they don't seem to be teaching this anymore.

I agree Brian. I just hope Dubas and Shanahan win out over Babcock's propensity to surround him self with dipsy doodlers. They're great,no doubt, as long as there's a thumper paired up with him.

Used to be that you played for the team for your entire career. Nowadays they have no commitment to the team just the money.
Thrilla Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 94 points in 82 games. Marner hasn’t done anything yet? lol
Headhunter Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 I guess it depends on what "anything" means to you. To me, it means wins and a cup, everything else is lip service after 50+years of frustration. Historically, players got paid for accomplishments and accomplishments in this world are defined by wins, playoff wins. Tying up money for players who you hope will win is a fools game. and that all said, I am a huge Mariner fan... HH 2

jimmer Posted June 28, 2019 Report Posted June 28, 2019 So, they have Johnsson and Kappy signed. If we believe Nylander, Marner will be looked after. LOL Where's the defense?

That's gospel Grim, my thoughts exactly. Hopefully they lock down the last dipsy doodler (no offense Marner, you're my my favourite young gun and I've never seen anybody play the game like you) and then start working on the thumper part. Cheers to Kapi and Johnsson for accepting modest, reasonable contracts without holding out. Nylander better score 50 goals next season or these 2 kids are gonna make him look like the over paid suckhole baby he is.
misfish Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 Kessel traded. Seems he is not the wonder boy all that he would be.
smitty55 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Posted June 30, 2019 Looks like it's Ceci to Toronto for Zaitsev, after the 3M signing bonus gets payed out. I for one am glad he's finally leaving the Sens.

DRIFTER_016 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Posted July 1, 2019 They signed Spezza to a one year deal too. ?

DRIFTER_016 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Posted July 1, 2019 Leafs traded Kadri. ? https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/news/leafs-acquire-barrie-kerfoot-and-pick/c-308160516?fbclid=IwAR3wjxLZ5yBgKKjVIJ5t9wRh2SPJKotfaTE3nAOMfEK4zRwMR1YlsDZaPvk
John Bacon Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Interesting take on Canada Day trades. Ailish Forfar claims that Ottawa made the greatest gains because they acquired the most ex-Leaf players; which will help build a team culture. I think Phaneuf is still available too. https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/video/did-senators-rule-canada-day-213439227.html 1
Squid Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Toronto is going to have issues in the back end next season. Should be an interesting season.

misfish Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Spezza for $700,000. WOW. Hutch gets $700,000 too. Barrie is a top D guy. I look forward to watching him. Kerfoot will be a good addition as well. We will not miss Kadri. Leafs win on this trade IMO. Edited July 2, 2019 by misfish
mikeh Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Montreal loses Benn to Vancouver,Shaw to Chicago, i am sure Carolina is not happy with Montreal with the contract they gave rfa Aho, does Carolina have to match the exact payout, $700k year in salary and bonus money .
