Sheahan had a total of 24 career points coming into this season.
OMG he has similar numbers as Kadri over a very brief stretch!?!?!? Let's trade them straight up You talk about bad cap management and you want to open the vault for Franson? 3.3M + 4M = 7.3M... I'm just going to assume you didn't really mean that.
He had thirteen career points when he signed that contract. Thirteen. He's had 41 goals in a little over a season's worth of games since then. Think he might be in line for a big raise?
A contract very comparable to Kadri's bridge deal, although Tatar's career numbers are lower.
I hear we drafted some guy named Kadri. Yeah, 94 points in his first season-and-a-half, and apparently now taking big strides towards developing a complete game or something. I guess once the homegrown talent is developed, next step is to complain that you have to pay them?

Now who here is surprised to find a Carlyle coached team in the bottom 5 for shots allowed in a season? That's right, not a single person, his coaching and system has been dead giveaway to that answer for years now.
Now the Leafs are having success now, but they're still not doing it in the most ideal fashion. This team sits back when they have leads and let opposing teams take it to them. This is the worst way to win IMO, playing on your heels is not good for anyones mind set and it just adds extra fatigue to your players(especially goaltenders).
Lets look at a couple things:
Opposing teams have taken 721 shots on goal 5 on 5 against the Leafs
The Leafs have taken 635 shots on goal on 5 on 5 against opponents.
-86 differential, not impressive at all, but where is it coming from?
Our shot differential in the first 2 periods is only -19, which although is not great, is acceptable. The bright side is that they have flirted with being at or close to 0 in that department over the last few weeks, I believe just 4 games ago it was hovering at 0.
Now lets move on to the third period, where our shot differential is a disgusting -67. That is simply inexcusable. Did this team forget how to forecheck? Did they forget how to play the game that gained them success for most of the game? Of course not, that would be crazy.
This team cannot be told to sit back, they haven't learned anything from this under Carlyle?
What's even scarier, in our 15 wins this year, we have a shot differential of -61 in the 3rd period, yes, -61. That is simply ridiculous and is a recipe for disaster, as we've seen before.
These are 61 shots in the dead puck era, this is such a flawed way to play. The 3rd period almost single handily ruins our possession stats as a team.
This is what happens when you have a terrible manager of the game, that rarely uses his entire roster and of course is coaching a primitive brand.
I am envious of all the teams out there that can see the direction the game is going in or what type of roster they have and make coaching decisions based on those merits.
I don't think the Leafs are an elite team yet, and they have had good results so far this year, but I just know it can be so much better with a better coach, both in results and player development.
Come on San Jose, why are you guys still holding on to McLellan.

Back to back after beating Calgary, you need great goaltending, nice win Leafs.
Optimus was HUGE and that's 4 points in back to back games!
The Leafs won, that's all that matters. 2 pts.

Back to back game for the Leafs and Detroit loses? How do you lose against a tired team. Well done, Leafs. Big 2 points.
Huge win!! And very happy to see Reimer play excellent and get the win after sitting for so long.

Leafs were down 3-0 in the SCF against detroit, and came back to win the series in 1942
Shots on goal:
Tor: 19
Det: 42
42-19 = 23
Whats so significant about 23?
