No big loss whoever they take. Leafs are one of few teams who lose nothing really. Yet, could benefit from Vegas expansion draft. Leafs are in better shape than many other teams who are ageing fast.
How can you have more knowledge about something without even having complete information. Makes no sense. Nobody here has been in the Maple Leafs dressing room game-day.
The only thing folks here have are stats and they're looking at things in a statistical vacuum. Y'all don't even go past the basics of augmenting things for the various roles these players play.
No problem losing a small forward who has questionable skill at the NHL level.
Leafs fans will lose their minds when he puts up 40-45 points on a bad Vegas team but I'm okay with losing him over Rychel. We need size in our lineup.
We have so many Leipsic type prospects right now.
We got away very easy this time around in expansion. If there is another expansion in 3-4 years time (which is very likely that the league goes to 32 teams) we are going to give up someone very good. Marner, Nylander, Matthews etc will all have to be protected.
Because he regularly proves that he does and people still use the tired "his cousin was..." argument when there was zero proof of Dreger getting inside info from Nonis while he was here and if anything Bobby Mac broke most Leafs news for TSN.
Questioning whether an insider has inside information on something that will simply be proven in 4 hours can absolutely happen. But will you retract your statements when he's right or just try and pile on more to make him look inferior?
If i take the other side of the coin and say Vegas takes Rychel and they do will that make me an insider as well ?
also he didn't say Vegas was going to take Leipsec he said he heard rumblings they would , which is his typical non committal crap that he spews constantly
Stop assuming you know 100% of the posters here along with who they know and what they know.
I said very clearly Depending on the area of knowledge
That can be coaching, prospects, other organizations depth, or anything else under the sun that falls under a pro hockey organization.
No, but nobody is paying you to be an insider with your real name.
Are you actually saying TSN employs an insider, solely as an insider, who has no inside sources? Seems to me it would be easy to get rid of someone like that. Why keep him around?
It's not about being right. You can go visit Eklund's lottery of randomness and lose your mind over him getting 1 right. It's about an insider saying "I heard this" and it ended up bring true later that same day proving the source was legit. As a 1 off that means nothing I agree.
We're talking about an insider who has worked for both main networks as an insider and is still employed as one.
Your angle on it feels very petty.
I've always liked him but I'm fine with this if it's true. He'll probably be a third liner at best, and he's behind at least 6 or 7 U25 wingers on the depth chart already. I'd much rather keep Rychel, he brings a more unique skillset to the table
Well, I think he does have a chance at being better than a few players who will likely be on the Leafs next year.
Again, not a devestating loss by any means, but we'll see how he fairs over the next couple seasons to see if Leafs management made a mistake letting him go for free. Time will tell, ect.
Our 15-16 tank year had our leading scorer at 45 points.
No way Leipsic gets more then 30 next year in Vegas imo
we already got our elite pieces up front. everything else is moot.
It's possible, and simply because of usage. He has some talent, without question. If he gets heavy TOI, including PP time, then why not?
Doesn't mean he cracks our lineup.
Lots of rationalizing gong on here ("Ah well we were going to lose him anyway and he's no big loss.")
Methinks Leipsic will become a player in this league and one that got away.
