Especially knowing the cap will almost assuredly rise in a couple of years. Well it will at least help those teams that are up against the cap anyway. Not us necessarily. I don’t disagree. But I’d rather my number one overall pick be taking 8 million instead of nine, rather than 5 million instead of six. That’s all I’m saying, the starting point on him is very low compared to what I will want when our guys come to that age 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) The Leafs re-signed Wayne Simmonds. He looked done when he was with us and only got worse this year. I’ll never understand why they are just letting Dubas run that whole operation into the ground. edit: haha, fvck me, they signed him for 2 years!

I think it just comes down into how much time and money ESPN decides to invest in it. Judging by how much they paid for the rights, I don't think they will put it on the back-burner like that had even back when they had games on. 1 hour ago, MadDog2020 said: Most of those people are from NBC🤣 I know a few are but didn't know it was most, I really don't pay attention to the talking heads, the Devils are barely ever on national broadcasts and then when I watch the playoffs I dvr everything and watch nothing but the actual game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopkins isnt a win for the 1OA, but I dont see a lose here. In the end it makes to give a chance to win a cup. I really do think its easier to win a cup in modern era, when you have solid roster of great players, not only couple of great stars. ...Better to have roster and the star, who isnt in cap because of injury and than he magically health for the right moment... But anyway. I will be okay if Hughes will be 1 ppg player and Hishier will be 0.75 ppg and we will have options to sign and growing good linemates for them. I dont wanna Toronto story.

I mean I’m not arguing, I like Levy (and Buccigross wasn’t calling games back in the day, he was a studio guy mostly). I was just pointing out that there are a bunch of NBC hold-overs.

mfitz804 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Personally, I feel like there were a lot of guys this season that all had very similar stats to each other. Not offended that Fleury won, but there’s probably another 2-3 guys that I would similarly not be offended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why watch ESPN anyways? They predicted that the 2009 playoff series between Carolina and New Jersey would be boring. As I recall, with the exception of the Rags/Caps series, the Car/NJ series was one of the more exciting rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
