nah this enhances the off season
mild shock
You do realize Tavares has a No-Trade Clause (I could be wrong but it was an 8-team list)? He's allowed to block trades if he wants to. Again that doesn't mean he doesn't give a fuck, because there are other ideas such as maybe him not wanting to move mid-season (like many other players feel).
You seem to have this idea that players making moves with their interests in mind = JT faking caring about the Islanders. Which is laughable considering you'd never bat an eye about lack of "caring" if a team decides to make moves based on their own interests in mind.
I don't bat an eye because most teams don't write open letters patting players on the head and telling them they'll be ok.
My original comment was about how stupid the letter was. That's it. I don't need to spell out the irony of telling a fanbase that their future is bright when he made multiple personal decisions that ensured the Islanders got zilch out of this.
Well, the Wings signed Mike Green, that's pretty much the only thing that they need to and/or even can do at this point. If we want to be north of bottom-5 in the league for the next couple years, we need to keep the assets we have and season our talent until some of these bad contracts come off the books.
Now if the coaching staff can figure out how to run a PP...

Yeah.......about that.....
On par with Edmonton. Sounds about right.
not even the first time in the last 12 months the leafs have had the best odds!
Toronto has to be the favorites for like the next 10 years or whatever
CBJ being 20/1 is laughable, should be closer to 40/1
I don't want to let myself get too excited. It'd be nice if we could win one soon, though. I want to see one before I die.

Gotta love that after all that and approaching this offseason with the expressly stated intent of not seriously contending this season, the Rangers are still given a better chance than the Isles. :D
Imagine telling Leafs fans 5 years ago that they would soon have 2 unquestionable first

I feel so, so bad for Price. This moron truly believes that a healthy Price is all he needs to win games 2-1 all the way to the Stanley Cup.
If Price didn't realize how badly managed the team is before he signed his extension that's on him. It's been clear that Bergevin doesn't know what he's doing since at least the summer of 2013
The Leafs are gonna have to get good at making the best out of cheap ELC AHL graduates to fill out the roster with all the big paychecks. Cheap cheap bottom 6 wingers and 3rd pairing defenders.
Yep. Dubas/Gilman/Pridham's work is cut out for them over the next several years. Also am expecting them to continue scouting and looking at cheap European FAs every year.
Team isn't going to be able to retain very many of their Hyman and Brown type of players on long term deals
Brown I'm expecting to stay. He over performed year one and took a discount on his first contract. His play will normalize to a normal 3rd/4th liner (already started last year) and he won't be very expensive to keep.
Because the guys in Vegas are smart. The team is going into next year with almost the same exact defense as last year.
I don't think that's going to be a problem considering how they've been developing the Marlies.
Oh I expect Hyman and Brown to stay leafs until their current contracts expire. But after that they are the types of players that the team probably won't be able keep long term, perhaps one of them would stay but idk.
