The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

[LeafOfFaith]

Shit. I hadn’t thought about that…. but they are the source material that force the viewer to decide what’s real and what’s performance…with speech pathologists and body language experts scrutinising every pause

That guy is fucking his sister.

That guy is fucking Elliot's sister or that guy is fucking his own sister?

Clarity is important.

People are even rewatching the program (pressers) which is the sign of a truly compelling piece of art.

Most fascinating two-part press conference in the history of hockey, no?

Can we even think of anything that takes second place?

I actually rewatched it at a relative's place last night when I was visiting and even they were riveted and took sides (Shanny's)!

That’s fair, but regardless a max Matthews doesn’t make Chicago a playoff team. They aren’t even close. It makes no sense

A 25 yr old Matthews locked in long term for 13 million dollars would be one of the top 5 building blocks to start a team with in the league.

Bedard might be better, but that's a significant might. Remember, the nerd numbers have had one guy in the world better than Connor at any extended period of time in the last 4-5 years. If you're offered up one of the top 5 players in the world, in his early-mid prime, locked up long term for a kid who hasn't seen a single game in the league, you have to consider it and probably pull the trigger on it.

Imagine Ottawa being offered a 25 yr old Sergei Federov for Daigle and turning it down? I'm not saying Bedard is Daigle, but you have to plug the possibility of him not being a generational NHL'er into that math.

I also don't think his contract status (ELC, etc) really means much in the discussion. If he pans out, in 3 years he'll be making as much as Auston anway.

With all of that said, I think the Auston Matthews stuff is Toronto media hand wringing. Matthews will extend this summer.

I'll need you to invest one hour in the GOT series premiere - season 1, episode 1.

Watch till the very end to find out!

Think it was definitely worth watching the presser again through the eyes of someone about to hand that man a 20+ million dollar contract and seeing him not be able to answer "yes, I want to be here and yes, I have it in me to do this job".

What? I’m not sure I want you as my sex daddy anymore

Holy fuck you take all kinds of fetish but dismemberment. Didn't watch Goliath did you?

Don't expect Dubie to entertain any trade that could possibly help the Leafs.

He's only interested if he's raping us.

I don't think Crosby would waive anyway, unlike Tavares he had Habs sheets and comforter.

 

[Preston]

Truly think Kyle was trading Mitchy

 

[zeke]

You've been overruled, Dubey.

 

[CH1]

So now we believe the media speculators?

[CH1]

Another presser at 3!!

 

[leafman101]

Damn Shanny keeps overruling Dubas.

 

[hockeylover]

Don't really believe anything right now, kind of a cesspool of conflicting info.

It's interesting though.

 

[zeke]

Even ch1 is clever enough to know the difference between how this was reported vs the sensationalist stuff.

You haven’t been the same since the trade deadline broke you

Mirtle's article said "it's thought that people at the top of the organization believe one of the core need to be traded" (paraphrasing), right?

Guess we'll find out.

This is what CJ was saying last Wednesday:

I'd love to be able to sit in on KD interviewing for a new gig to see his response when asked why they should trust/hire him after he got his media buddies to shit on his previous employers after his coup attempt failed.
