GDT #14: 2024/11/05 - Bruins @ Leafs - Nothing else going on tonight, right?

If there's one thing Tre likes to do, it's sign guys.

He needs to get Knies' signature on a long extension yesterday. Not sure why he hasn't already. Do we always have to wait for guys to put up big numbers before we lock them up?

 

[Cojo]

Knies is bending us over on his contract by the looks of it

Yes.

 

[Slinger 48]

Sometimes I like being wrong.

Good game.

Trade Matthews...............

Hope they continue with Domi and marner together. Been on this for a while that it’s been really the only time in the last year where marner looks more like his ELC years

Why is it always the assumption that it's mngmnt dragging it's ass on contracts...how do we know the player isn't betting on themselves?

 

[MindzEye]

.how do we know the player isn't betting on themselves?

Dubas, in his book admitted that he could have gotten the deals with the super kids done a year earlier than he did. Considers it one of his biggest mistakes doing them after the Tavares contract.

Well the players are betting on themselves, but they always have a price. And it has usually only gone up by waiting.

That's then, and for all we know Knies has Matthews' whispering in his ear.

Point is we don't know. Both sides love money

 

[GeneralT001]

This game kinda shows that there is too much sacrifice going on to get the puck to Matty when hes playing....especially on the PP. Team seems more than capable of performing better without that distraction.

 

[MindzEye]

Except they don't actually sacrifice anything to get Matthews the puck. They're passing it to him when it's 35+ feet from the net. They don't utilize his gravity at all.
