GDT: Leafs State of the Union + Locker Clean Out Day (4/27/18)

[Legion34]

Think he's at 8/yr now which scares me a bit.

Why on a 1 year deal? We have tons to spend.

 

[Gallagbi]

Why on a 1 year deal? We have tons to spend.

Because I'd rather not overpay him that drastically, even if it is short term. Limits on season options and sets a bad precedent.

 

[Daisy Jane]

You're right that he's likely given someone else the duties to lead, but everything goes through him.

thanks for that. i honestly didn't realise that.

 

[Gabriel426]

It would have been so funny, if Lou actually decided to talk about his future with the Leafs, and make a comment about Burke might be back.

On a 1400 pt sure fire hall of famer? I don’t see how the 1 year cap of a Thornton would affect anyone else going forward.

Who else would you spend on. We will spend to the cap without question b

Defense as a start.

 

[Legion34]

Defense as a start.

For sure. But who would sign a 1 year deal?

We will have like 25 million to spend on 2 f and 1 d (really) this year and the next is a cap crunch. So we don’t want big contracts past this year. Especially with the D unsigned for next year coming up.

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

No, we got beat by a team that has a competent defense.

Excuses excuses excuses. If you don't have good defenders than why the **** Gardiner is still mother ****ing here?

who?

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

I liked how media gave them a hard time. Give them even more hard time,park the van in front of Gardiner's house and everytime he leaves his home give him the hardest time of his life. Make his life a living hell in Toronto.

 

[Gallagbi]

who?

Joe Thornton

 

[Daisy Jane]

Joe Thornton

ohh.
didn't he make that much this year?

 

[Gallagbi]

ohh.
didn't he make that much this year?

Exactly, I said I didn't want to pay him that, though I'd be open to less and think he's a good option. Just not at 8/yr.

Man, you need help! I would hope you could find something better to do with your life?

So not a word about Matthews being injured?

Pending #Leafs UFA Tyler Bozak on his future: "It would be my top priority to stay here. My family loves it here, my kid loves it here, he thinks he owns the place. It’ll be tough on him if I’m not back."

That's so wonderful Tyler, I'm sure you'll have a rough life making millions of dollars and never working another day in your life in another city.

I'm 100% done with the 2013 clowns.

Listened to Babcock's season-ending conference. After Matty hurt his back from the first injury, he never got his skating back...then Rielly gave him a concussion, then the shoulder injury...he missed 20 games altogether...that's a quarter of the season...I take it that Matty never really got to playing at 100% of his ability, and being 20 years old, he's still a boy, though he's a big boy, he's not a man yet...I'm not surprised he is skipping the world championships...he needs the recovery time...there's still alot of room for growth and he's got another summer to prepare and be stronger for next season.
