Interesting you say that. Even if he did, I would love to know from him whether the list he is about to produce is his own evaluation, or just an accumulation of discussions from scouts?
His latest rant from yesterday is alluding to exactly that (scouts don't all agree Wright is #1)
They have one more year. If 34 doesn't sign an extension next summer, that future dynasty is done. You can't even trade him at that point because he is too good. He will walk as a UFA in 2 years.
The Leafs were very healthy this year. It wont happen again.
We need to take chance on guys like Gurianov (probably not QO by Dallas) , White (buyout by Ottawa), Comtois (on the skids in Ana) and take chances on these guys before inserting our own prospects into this tire fire.
but of course legacy contracts have to go to make room for them,.
They will not go through another 900 games lost to injury type of season. Even with the current lineup minus Wright they will be dragged out of the bottom 5. That's my prediction. Add Wright and maybe another UFA, we will have a problem.
Kotkaniemi being drafted 3rd and then he spent years pimping him and was mad as hell about the Carolina OS.
Now he probably realizes that KK is a 1/3 25 years of age buyout candidate in 2 years.
If Wright has an ROY type of year, then he could potentially drag us out of the bottom 8 range for next year's generational draft (I did a lot of reading the last week).
The whole season was depressing. We have another year of this before it even looks like something remotely better. Next year we might be an equally bad team with a better record, hence a worse draft pick.
All of the bad contracts are types that you have to let expire because they are...
Better and go slap his buddy Bergie. The team haas had 3 real poor regular seasons out of the last 4. Our two playoff appearances are Covid induced gifts. Not a chance this team gets better even with him in nets next year + whatever garbage UFA's they sign.
Price is not getting traded. Too much risk for him to go somewhere else and get injured to not play and then get blowback. He can do that in peace in Montreal for the next 4 years.\
Better get another goalie to support him who can play 40-50 games because Allen keeps getting hurt.
I remember about a month ago when people were worried we would drop out of the top 10 and relinquish our pick to Arizona in the Dvorak trade.
Good times.
Getting the first pick this year would be symbolic at best because the draft is at home. But otherwise a top 4 pick is good enough for the...
IT's only a thin line in the middle of her head (ear to ear) that she was losing. She had the rest of her hair. She chose to shave it all off and look like GI Jane.
Bald men get made fun of all the time. Do they go around slapping people? MPB is a medical condition too.
