invest that in pot stocks and then live the good life

Uh oh. Trigger warning for lof.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Terrible decision, but not as terrible as what I sold it for to buy into. And now I wait.

Since that stinkypoo 7gm start with the unreal shooting slump (5.52sh% - 32nd in NHL):

FLA: 45-15-6, 119pts pace, 4.06gf/60, 2.95ga/60, 57.9gf%, 56.7xgf%, 10.8sh%, 90.03sv%
TOR: 45-15-5, 120pts pace, 4.06gf/60, 2.96ga/60, 57.8gf%, 57.3xgf%, 11.5sh%, 90.05sv%

How can he say know to Dubas? He's too well-dressed and handsome for Matthew to say he won't sign with them.

I don't want to be a downer here, but I get a bad feeling when college kids are tough to sign. The Leafs are known to not include any rookie bonuses in their entry-level contracts, they also aren't necessarily a place where rookies are going to get time on special teams etc.. Some college kids seem to be steered to signing with a team that will give them optimal ice-time to develop and earn a larger second contract.

 

[Deckie007]

College kids have all the leverage. It is what it is. If Knies wants another kick at the can for a championship in Minny next year, he's going back. If he's wants to turn pro, he'll sign. Not much more to it.

We’re way too early for that concern yet, IMO. He’s only a freshman.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

We just drafted him five minutes ago. He’s not tough to sign. He has an interesting opportunity where he is and a compelling one he could switch to. It might be a tougher choice than we think.

 

[LeafGm]

College prospects aren’t really different than any other prospects. Anyone who’s drafted has the option of refusing to sign any NHL contract for four years after being drafted and then becoming a UFA.

The overwhelming majority don’t choose that option, though, and I doubt Knies will either even if he doesn’t sign this season.

 

[leafman101]

He's going to sign. Its crazy that he probably grew up idolizing Matthews.

Marner has 60 hits on the year, and 18 in the last 5 games. Forget 60 goals, give me 100 Marner hits.

Marner not hitting the net was what cost the Leafs last spring

 

[hockeylover]

you guys are just sad now.

 

[Preston]

I think I'm good with Marner not throwing his body around in the final 10 regular season games after they've already clinched.

If I were a Leaf fan, I'd be ok with him never throwing his body around.

 

[MindzEye]

Have definitely noticed Mitchy playing with an edge by his standards.

 

[hockeylover]

Sure have a lot to prove this year, especially if it's Boston.

btw not sure if i've seen it here yet but they're opening Maple Leaf Square/Jurassic Park again this year.
