But they had to pay a 2nd for Columbus to take him because the league rejected Marchenkos extension for excreting the tagging limit.
Can’t be happy about that. They gave up Woll for him too.
Sure but IIRC that was all tied to being right to the current year cap, not making a mistake understanding the cap.
But they had to play games shorthanded to use emergency recalls. Which happened with goalies one year. And that is actually manupating the CBA to play over the cap
was listening to Mirtle talk about the tagging and it was a dumb mistake by Chayka to not have a cap guy.
All one way contracts count against the tagging limit. So signing all of MacEwan, Stecher, MacWard, and Rybinski signing 2 year deals cost like $4 million in tagging room and none of them...

I mean it’s the right answer, but you’d have hoped that “let’s play with the puck more” was a day 1 kind of thing.
At the game, who didn’t they challenge the second goal?
Utah is way more aggressive without the ouck than the Leafs. The Leafs have no space, and Utah has a ton. Also they play much closer in transition. It’s all easy passes. Leafs should’ve hired Cassidy.
It’s because Crosby took less. Players pushed the max before but after that no one was willing to ask for more than 15-16%.
until Carlson broke the curse
It’s the complete opposite of how the Leafs are handling Matthews.
BriesBois has played hardball with everyone, but it’s a mistake not to recognize that Kuch is the driving force and different than Hedman and Stamkos.
