The Fucking Offseason Thread - Why bother waiting?

Wait is he supposed to avoid pools because his team lost in the playoffs?
I would just be cautious about perception if I was him that's all I'm saying. Now posing with his new father figure, Bogo is kind of sickening.
You can disagree with me, but in his situation I'd worry a tad more about perception.
 
I normally would agree that smiling is a bad look, but Mitch Marner obviously followed the Invisalign treatment (or other braces technology) so he should fucking smile away. That shit ain't cheap!

Man, I forgot Zach was a the 3rd pick overall. Just a couple of top 4 picks having a blast.
 
This is a story? So is any teammate who's older than him that he hangs out with now a father figure? Weird.

On an unrelated note, at my weekly street hockey game, we've been getting kids of former NHLers showing up and playing with us. Rob Blake's kid played a couple of times recently, the Great One's offspring played a few weeks ago, and the kid of a former awesome Red Wing who I don't want to name because of what I'm going to recount has been playing for weeks. He's undrafted but played in the KHL and has an NHL tryout coming up, and he shares an agent with some Leafs.

After the game today, we were talking about random NHL stuff, and of course, Leafs were top of mind. He was saying that Matthews has a reputation around the league that he's only about the money and doesn't really care about the playoffs. He said Tavares is known for being, as we see him, an android who is 100% all about hockey and elite focus on his game and wants to win bad, and that he's very tough to get to open up and keeps his distance a bit. He didn't really have info on Marner or Nylander, who I asked him about. Other random stories were discussed, and this one I hadn't heard before, but apparently Seguin had a thing with Horton's wife and that's why he got traded from Boston because the team turned on him. Lots of other stuff too, but for some reason I'm blanking on specifics. Will post more if I remember.
 


I don't get this shit at all anymore....

I get the whole Marner-Marleau thing because Mitch was like 19-20, Patty was almost 40 and had a bag of his own children...but this is just weird. It's a 24 yr old hanging out with a guy in his early 30's who plays a kids game for a living. They're probably way, way more alike than most people would think. Same music, movies, taste in women, cars, etc, etc.

One word

Toronto

Now most players shrug it off but it risks more sensitive players wanting out.

I'm mid 50s and have friends in their thirties. Granted I don't hug on them in pools but yeah, this only happens in TO or MTL and they should quit or for the sake of the team.

This reminds me of Tlusty but at least that was funny. This is dumb.

And do we know if there were other teammates also present, in which case taking a photo with one of them is even more meaningless?

I mean, unless these two are fucking, this isn't a story.
