  2. If greed wins the day and the NHL expands to 36 teams. That might be it for me. I see nothing but disaster with that. Short term gain for long term headaches. And Vancouver will never win a cup.

    4 teams with the generous expansion rules? It will destroy existing teams rosters.

      Francesco Aquilini agrees with Ghost & cries about the greed of NHL owners:

  3. You get one free punch to any active NHL player without any repercussions, legal or physical. Who would you choose? Remember, they have to be an active NHL player. 
     

    I would say Trevor Zegras.

  13. #AssetManagement Toronto edition

     

    Here is Toronto's trade history of 1st rounders and add-ons since 2019


    2019 - Grundstrom (2nd) Durzi (2nd) 1st round pick (22nd OA) for Muzzin
    2020 - gave away 13OA (Seth Jarvis) to get rid of the Marleau contract
    2021 - traded away 25OA (Corson Ceulemans) to acquire Noesen and Foligno... both no longer with the TML
    2022 - gave away to get rid of Mrazek contract... did get back a 2nd round pick (Fraser Minten) who had a very meh season and very underwhelming playoff as a D+1 player.
    2023 - traded away 25OA (Otto Stenberg) to acquire Ryan O'Reilly who signed with the Preds as a UFA.
    2024 - still owned by the TML but will probably have to attach it to Murray to trade away that boat anchor of a contract
    2025 - traded away with other prospects to acquire Jake McCabe and Sam Lafferty

    the Leafs have traded away 6 first round picks for 1 playoff series win and only have McCabe and Lafftery left to show for it.

      @Toews  That's *always* been my position.  Not the argument put forth by a number here that "Gillis traded away too many picks".  He didn't go 'all in" enough (imho).  Kind of opposite the problem of Benning who dealt away too many picks and not made enough attempts to acquire more picks to play to the strength of his management (drafting).

      @Dazzle  that is true.  It's like 1967 (to them) was only a few years ago & that Cup parade is 'just around the corner'.  Heck, I wasn't even born then (and I'd imagine most of this board as well).:lol:

      @Pears  Thing is, the Laffs have made the post-season SEVEN straight seasons.;  Last time the Canucks have done that was...never.  Granted, the Laffs were HORRIBLY constructed for the post-season.

      It the reason ace amateur European scout Ron Delorme gave for drafting a nobody in like the sixth round (eg., he had a great practice!).  Forgot the prospects name but he predictably amounted to nothing.
