Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

[Preston]

Hot Presto take: Kase has become a bit overrated on here, including by myself.

No brainer contract and valuable player but I want to see more from him before I get too horned up.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Kase isn't even the kind of guy you commit term to.

If he wants to sign for 1-2 years, ok. If he wants 3, forget it.

 

[Preston]

He's been shoehorned with two of the most productive players in the NHL and...has produced nothing.

And Engvall is an infinitely better player. The only thing he has in common is a lack of touch.

This is the bit that I tried to warn about this summer. Shiny new toy syndrome sometimes gets the best of all of us.

Could it be that Dubas got Richie for the (gasp) playoffs and not for regular season?

I hope not. 9 points in 38 playoff games and a downright liability in most games. That's when he has been at his worst.

But he plays the "playoff "way. All the "intangible" shit that we didn't have. Dubas brought in Bunting, Kampf, Clifford, Simmons, Muzzin etc. I don't think they care too much what he does in the regular season. They just want him to draw an extra penalty and fight through all the cross- checking.

I've always been a big Engvall fan. Probably his biggest fan here. Ritchie didn't impact that one way or the other.

I just thought there was potential in adding a hulking former first rounder who has scored at times. No whammies - stop! Whammy....

How?

 

[Artnes]

So ya about taking a flyer on Kane...

 

[MindzEye]

Ummmm

If that is what it looks like...well fuck

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Dubie is for sure taking a shot on giving that guy his 11th chance. No doubt.

Did you remove the tweet or does it not exist anymore?

What’s missing?

A man (back to the camera) is inside a garage. The garage door is open. The person filming appears to be standing in the doorway that leads from the garage into the house/building. The man is holding something that appears to be a gun and is walking away from the house / out of
The garage. as they are exiting the garage the man points the object at the person filming.

After that video was posted, Kane’s agent/attorneys released this statement:

 

[hockeylover]

That… doesn’t make any fucking sense lol.

 

[Preston]

Idk what the fuck is happening, but I don't care. This is some drama that the Leafs really need. Would be great to see this dominant team and incredible dressing room disrupted.

TRADE FOR HIM!!!

 

[Preston]

That was sarcasm btw.

Sometimes racism isn't the only explanation.
