The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

It’s at least 5 concussions in like… the last 5 or 6 years right?

Yeah I dunno. I think it’s entirely possible downplayed to get cleared for the playoffs. That’s… a lot.

I've got him at 6-8 that are relatively easily proveable with public record.

Which means it's probably more than that.

Putting aside the ME victory lap for a second, the media are really tuned into this organization these days. There no longer any surprises it seems.

I don't like it, and I prefer the mediots being out of the loop....but....In the end, it doesn't appear that the wall of silence ended up benefitting us much.

Basically, I'd prefer the entire media knew 3 days in advance that we were LTIR'ing Murrary than no one knowing we had signed him until the social media team had finished the graphic and posted it to The 'Gram.

Smart moves > Quiet moves

i mean price and smith went on long playoffs runs and then were ltird the next season.

ehhh those situations are pretty different. but whatever, problem solved.

ME right now

Enjoy it. You earned this one.

I mean he had a bit of a rough stretch prior to this so glad he's back in the W column. I'll take the L here.

I didn't think he'd recover from getting Zadina's psychology wrong. But I'm happy to see that he bounced back. Forumice is a better place when ME is in top form.

Sens fans were counting on some cap relief if Murray was bought out but now they get none so they’re livid.

It’s a solution that benefits everyone.

If your team does not partake in some cap shenanigans, it’s clearly not trying to win it all

You need your best players to be your best players when it counts. Marner needs to train with ME this summer .

My bad.

I've never been invited to the mythical pool parties.

I went to one but didn’t see a single celebcock. Very disappointing.

Pathetic and clear cut cap circumvention. Murray was and is healthy but it’s his childhood favourite team and it’s super close to home. Doesn’t want to leave and this is how he tries to help them. Muzzin is legit but this a joke

 

[hockeylover]

Oh yeah, Murray’s doing it bc he just loves us so much and doesn’t want us to be in cap hell! C’mon, so dumb.

 

[soco22]

Is Muzzin officially on IR for the year too?

Yep. He wants to see us win also.

Kind of funny they've never seen the playoffs are are out of cap

I think Murray's incentive is the extra 2.6M he stands to pocket on Robidas island....but who knows...I've seen many smart fans get burned trying to understand player psychology

 

[Volcanologist]

Treliving certainly didn't act as though he were worried about Murray's fate, so I suspect this has been decided for a while. A lot of people were awfully sure the Leafs were going to trade a 1st to get rid of the deal.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Hey yeah, this is the first time we basically didn't have to trade a 1st to get rid of a contract problem.

Muzz was actually a health problem, so that doesn't count. But Marleau, Mrazek, and I thought there was another...we got off easy with Murray. Good stuff.
