More than 50, of their cap on 3-5 players is not a Cup contender cause they had also mismanaged their drafting & development vs what Col has accomplished. It always, goes back to leadership Leafs rebuild was doing fine until they got rid of all the hockey people and let an unqualified analytics dweeb run the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good player. Has that fighting Irish spirit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I wonder if Aquilini would do another meet the fans event at Rogers Arena like they did during Benning’s immense dump of a tenure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer isn’t an option for Bo. 100% We have way too many forwards eating too much Cap. I would trade him. Easier than trading any of the others with term.

I'm not sure he's the model anyone wants to follow. Good question about the Laffs though, where would they be without AM? He is god awful, hated by all. Not suggesting to be like him, more saying that tv revenue allows him to be an absolute trash owner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support the Mik signing 100% Yes and Yes to both of you. Mik was a great signing IF you had a plan for the D and didn’t need the $. His speed and prowess is perfect with Peterson, and his 200’ game and ok are a bonus. Problem here; PA blew 20m like a drunken sailor, and actually made the defense worse ( I like Bear, but Hamonic is a better player). So, the front office that has blamed the cap for their struggles is the same that has contoured the struggles. Mik and Beoser $ woulda bought us a hell of a top 4 dman! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always goes back to their own version of incompetent leadership but a regular win, is still enough to fill their seats and keep their ownership fat.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Dermott...not McDermott I agree though, he's a good 3rd pairing dude. Don't expect more than that from him.

As a long suffering fan of this team, I want to see a cohesive roster of players willing to go to war together. A team with an actual identity who understand what it takes to actually win rather than a team that just wants to play out the clock. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
