Lol and the funny thing is..it isn't even in question, its legitimately not a question of it but when. Deep down they all know it too which makes their denial an entire other form of entertainment.
McDavid WILL return home to Toronto if the Leafs are a good team ..and they are projected to be a very well seasoned team when that time for him to make that choice comes along.
Like Tavares enduring years of floundering on Long Island, McDavid will soon get sick of floundering in the depths and misery of Edmonton. He like Tavares will flock to Toronto to play for the only city that has ever meant anything to him.
I view the Marleau signing as the first indication that household name type players are willing to come to Toronto again, they used to in the past so it was bound to happen again. Then when Tavares signed it confirmed Toronto's desirability among NHL players and its image as a legitimate Cup Contending team.

Help is on the way.
It's amazing to see how this injury has turned once level headed posters completely insane. Sometimes there is such a thing as too much talk, and that's what we have here. It was a hard hit, listening to people say it was routine is laughable, back off the ledge you goofs.

This bodes well for the Leafs cap problems. You don't pay a guy 10-12 million when he blows a shoulder out every 30 games or so.

If I had the time, I could YouTube 1000 or more hits as hard, or harder than this one where the guy that got hit just walked away and didn't miss a shift. We have damaged goods here. Accept that fact.

I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

Yup. When you blow a shoulder out every 30 games or so. What would you call it? Bad luck?Uh huh, totally damaged goods.

how the f*** do we have fans who think it's good if our elite superstar gets hurt because it might help keep his cap hit lower?
Anyone trying to find any type of gain from any injury throughout sports shouldn't be a fan of sports. Injuries are part of the game, but I want my best team to beat the best team put on the ice at all times.

I didn't say that it was a good thing. I was just stating a fact. Would you sign a player to one of the biggest contracts in the league when he blows out his shoulder every 30 games or so?

AM does seem to be a bit Fragile as he grows into that body that will one day be a man. Another big man that has had his fair share of injuries but still looks great.............Gino Malkin. these things happen to the best of players. Crosby with his numerous years of various injuries (mainly concussion) is still playing some of the best hockey of his career.
The only player in the league immune to injuries is jellyfish Kessel. With no muscle on his frame it is impossible to get injured ha ha. That hit on AM to Kessel would be like hitting a marshmallow.

One bit of good news, it appears it is not the same shoulder as the one injured last year:
"No, it's not the same shoulder, it's not," Babcock said. "He did his work this summer to get way stronger, built muscle around his shoulders, wants to protect himself. Sometimes things happen."
Matthews to miss at least one game for Maple Leafs with shoulder injury
So at least this isn't actually a repeated injury.

Ppl are going to target him now in an attempt to injure and take him out of the game/playoffs. Can see marchand deliberately targetting austons shoulders and head.

Man, I don't even care if he comes to Toronto. Blessed, but just anywhere but Edmonton or that desolate wasteland that is Alberta. Trash weather, horrible fans and overall bad teams considering drafting.

Malkin and Bergeron were kinda glassy when they were in their earlier years.
except for that one year when Bergeron basically played on one toe because everything was broken or rupturing, or collapsing, he's been relatively healthy. Same as Malkin give or take a game or two.
the stronger Matthews gets esp. in his shoulders, the better he will be health wise.

Interesting.
It might just be Matthews has to lose shoulder joints. It is pretty common problem though more common is that you have to little space there that can lead to many rotator cuff problems.
3 shoulder injuries at he's age start to seem more than coincident. Though, they still might be.
