Why is McDavid "coming home" comical? Why would McDavid care if the cupboard is pretty bare? A team with McDavid, Matthews, Nylander, Tavares seems fairly attractive. Matthews and Nylander -- at 27/28 years old -- aren't exactly on death's doorstop.

That's amazing. :) Also, i'm never wearing that jersey number.

It was pretty shitty to give Matthews bonuses and not Marner. There really can't be any debate about that.

No, it doesn't mean that. There are too many variables and Marner was clearly not the reason the Leafs didn't advance. That is, he didn't cause losses through dumb plays, etc. I know what you're saying; the void he leaves can't be filled unless the void is first there (Marner gone.) And what...

My apologies, I was unclear. I was responding to this: "Talent out the door, yes; I have a different opinion on the level of utility being lost here, but still there is a loss nonetheless. To say it's the best Leaf player being lost for virtually nothing is a stretch, though; maybe you are...

So, outside of Sundin, who would even come close to Marner? I don't know how anyone can think this makes the Leafs a better team. "all that off-ice stuff?" More players feel important? Serious? Who cares about space and opportunity when you have one of the most talented players in the league...

I'd be shocked if he doesn't hit 95+ points again. He's not propped up or insulated. He's a phenomenal player who will put up massive points anywhere he plays.

That is utter nonsense. His level of talent is relevant to any game of hockey, playoffs or otherwise. The second part, I can support. i think he's a goner. I really wish he'd be re-signed though.

Beautifully written. :)

It's not pointless and it's literally not a fact.

Out of curiosity, how many players fit into that box? There's always someone who has a hot streak, for sure. But I don't think this is predictable. Given the limited number of playoff games, I also doubt it's statistically significant. Hockey is entertainment. I enjoy great regular-season...

six straight seasons at a 100-point pace (110 one year) plus a 94-point season before that with Selke consideration. his level of compensation is not misaligned; people's expectations are.

The name's not great, but it's less cringey than "he has a high compete level". <--- this creates irrational rage inside of me. Compete is not an adjective.

To be clear, I'm not against a shake-up. I believe this team has the talent to win a cup; but the fact is they haven't gotten out of the 2nd round. There's also an opportunity with huge cap space if Marner and Tavares go. A big however.......this year's free agent crop is garbage. The best...

Even considering moving Matthews is nuts. I know it sucks, but they pushed the series to 7 games against the defending champions (and runner-up the year prior/3rd consecutive year in EC finals). They had two really horrible games but also played great in the others. They have the talent to win...

Jarnkrok will almost certainly be out there.

I don't think that's really all that bad. I agree with the analysts, she's allowed to have a political opinion. That said; she's awful. My bro lives in Edmonton and tells me all the shit she and her party does. Just ridiculous. On that note: I really can't understand my MACA™ friends. All they...

I feel very triggered. Probably won't sleep tonight.
