Might be the year Nick Robertson stays healthy

I'll be watching for airborne pigs.

Um, which team are we in those scenarios?

Because why would the Leafs do those?

The first one I don't understand at all. You want the older, worse player?

The second one isn't even a quarter for two dimes and a nickel. You're probably missing a dime in that exchange.

We'll never win one of these core 4 trades.

i wouldn't do them either, but just wondering if anyone would consider it. There would probably have to be other pieces involved. Lindholm and Andersson are very, very good players. But I agree it would be really hard to get fair value for our guys.

Honestly, almost impossible.

Especially since Willy is crazy underrated.

We’re gonna keep knocking on the door, knocking on the door, knocking on the door. And eventually we’re gonna break though.

Bottle or can?

Tap the keg my boy…

 

[Jeremy]

Will you raise my allowance?

 

[thehabhater]

You are still grounded

 

[Jeremy]

No beer

 

[thehabhater]

2 more weeks.

 

[Jeremy]

Shit

 

[Blueman]

lets just play all the kids and punt the retreads in bottom 6. Then we save more cap room for trade deadline big name hunting

 

[zeke]

was gonna ask this the other day ... would you give any consideration to:

(a) Nylander for Lindholm

or

(b) Marner for Lindholm and Rasmus Andersson

my gut reaction is nope and nope but i can't say the value is crazy off.

This is why we’d get demolished in any trade of our big guys.

"I saw on Twitter that he was going to be named, so I sent him a text right away. He's an awesome guy and a great GM. He'll do great there. He did an unreal job in Calgary, so I know he'll be great there. I can't tell you what the specific differences might be, but he's one of the most respected people in the business.

I know what the pressure is like playing in Canada. I can't speak to the specifics of his job, but he certainly handled it well in Calgary, which is obviously a Canadian market. I truly believe he'll be successful [in Toronto].

I still have a great relationship with 'Tree,' and we still talk once in a while. Either he'll reach out or I'll reach out. He's one of the best, most well-respected GMs in hockey and pretty much could have gotten another job in hockey - pretty much any [job] he wanted. He probably had his pick of where to go, and that's exciting.

I don't really know what happened there in Calgary, but I know I liked my time with him. He was super great to all the players and everybody."
