Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

Leafs (and other Canadian teams) have the upfront bonus money advantage for their American residents
 
Lots of us have been, for a while now.

2 things can be true at the same time. Florida teams can have an economic advantage and be managed very well.

Sure, Bill Zito might be smart but his playing career only got him as far as the Yale University hockey team where he was a fringe player who never got drafted.

Your hockey ops guy is a fucking first ballot HOFer!!! Be patient. Winning is in his blood!!!!
 
The tax thing is hilariously overhyped. Give these organizations credit.
lol
didn't you spend the summer telling us how bad florida is and how they were going to miss the playoffs? give them their flowers indeed jack

a really good team thats made a bunch of rally smart moves that probably wins the cup this year.

but their is also an inherent advantage both these florida teams have in the contracts they are able to hand out. players are clearly signing for less
 
Take a good, hard look at this fucking mook.

Two games in a row he's directly responsible for putting himself way out of position, leading to a mini 2 on 1, with the end result being a goal for Florida.

Trouba is absolute garbage defensively. This is not a new development but as he gets slower it's going to continue to get more noticeable.

Trouba is pretty much just a 3rd pair cheap shot artist now. 2 more years at $8 million AAV.
 
What a goal by McDavid.

If only we also just loaded up on skilled offense, we'd be waiting to play them in the finals in what would've been the most entertaining finals matchup in like forever.
 
Feeling so much jealousy. Zeke may have jumped already. It was just a week ago that he was celebrating a Dallas vs NYR finals. Since then it's been nothing but Edmonton and Florida. The guy is a walking curse. Maybe he's the reason the Leafs are so Leafy.
 
It shouldn't be so hard to imagine us playing like we do in the regular season in just one playoff year, but if we did, we'd be waiting on the other side of this, and then just imagine Matty and McDavid trading plays for 7 games. Hockey heaven.
 
Dallas just hasn't been able to buy one when they've needed it this series. Chance after chance that they just can't bury, and then Edmonton inevitably just pulls away.
