  1. But it can still help in FA? 3.5M nets us good boost as we re-sign people.
  2. If he does call it quits aka LTIR it would free up 3.5M. Gives us some cap space.
  3. To your points I am complete against people who don't follow these policies private businesses implement. I want there to be warnings then fines to those people. IMO that would straighten those people out. However I also don't like people hassling others when it isn't needed. I get people want society to be safe but if laws/rules are being followed mind your business and if they're not call the police/security(considering some areas in North America are more restrictive and will hand out fines/penalties if pandemic rules/law are not followed). Overall I just don't like arrogant people and they're on both sides of the pro/anti mask crowd. It's just people who think their opinions trump the laws/rules implemented. Either abide by or accept that people are abiding by the rules/laws implemented.
  4. If their private policy implemented sure. I have no issue with that. But if it is not required of me to wear a mask I probably won't wear one. That doesn't mean I don't respect what's going on and am not taking other measures like socially distancing, having a mask available when following private policy is needed, not touching face in public, not using cash, washing hands and having a bottle of sanitizer on me at all times.
  5. For sure. If there are places that don't require masks you shouldn't be hassled if you choose not to wear one. Just mind your own business. However you have to respect private policy of companies that implement a mask policy too however. If a store requires shoppers to wear masks you have to abide by that if you want to shop there. Most of the time I don't wear one but if there rules in place I will follow them. I have no problem with that. TBH there are a lot of dumb people on both sides with people hounding others for not wearing masks when they don't have to and then people refusing to wear masks when private policy states so in order to shop there.
  6. I like our chances with both. I implied that I like our chances next year with him than without him. It's not Tofu vs Tanev for me. As I have stated I want to keep both and Marky. I also stated it that I understand that would be difficult but it is possible.
  7. I think the lack of raw strength has something to do with it. Notice how a lot of good faceoff-men are bigger centers? There are exceptions to the rule but I don't think you could argue against it generally speaking. So once he adds 10-20 pounds of muscle it'll probably help him on the draw, especially if he takes pointers from guys like Beagle/Bo/Miller. I am just excited for how much harder he'll rip the puck and faster he'll be as time goes by.
  8. Nothing clear cut yet but the announcers speculated that it was because of a shot block since he left shortly after one.
  9. IMO my mindset on Toffoli is that he will help us win now and be a stop gap for the youngsters to reach their potential. Once Pod/Hog/etc make it they'll need time to polish their games and as they do that Tofu will likely be on the tail end of his contract. Try to have it so Tofu's new contract expires when the youngster ELC/2nd contract expires. It would also allow us to utilize the youngsters cheap contracts in order to ice a very dangerous forward group for a short window.
  10. I feel Greener likes Eriksson because he makes simple smart plays with the puck and is in good position defensively. He won't take many chances or produce a lot of offense but you will also not see many mistakes on his end.
  11. I like the lotto line too and would put Tofu with Bo. I like our chances to make the playoffs more so with Tofu than without him. Hell Toffoli was a big reason why we've made it since he helped us win after Boeser got hurt. I would like all 3 of them if possible. I understand that would be hard to do.
  12. It works well at times, especially with explosive skaters, but yeah if you do it constantly it becomes predictable. They should switch the entries up and keep them guessing.
  13. You're right with guys like Mac/Gaud not having that ploff experience but compared to what kind of depth we've had in years past it's night and day. Need I remind you of Chaput and Megna? Simply put it could be worse, much much worse
  14. Only word on Ferland is speculation of a injury after a shot block. Announcers stated he left shortly after one.
  15. Considering after 1-2 years when they make the team they will roughly need another 2-4 years to reach their max potential... Yeah I would like to re-sign Tofu. 4-5 years nets him till he's 32/33 and gives the youngsters enough time to reach their potentials, if they do.
