Happy We The North weekend too!
(Also memorial day in Newfoundland on a more sobering note - in honour of lives lost by a Newfoundland (then independent of Canada) in WWI ~1916)

I'm off mtn biking, but was active on Twitter this morning, my pitiful attempt at humour lol - for example:

Aho in MTL would be a huge upgrade for them, it would be worth the assets lost.

Happy Canada Day friends to the north. Holy shit the NYR, fastest rebuild in history? They're gonna be a tough team once they sign Trouba, which I'm sure is next on the ticket. I'm excited for Zibanejad too.

Marner better get his head out of his ass if he wants 10 or above. It's probably more about term at this point, all these guys wants ufa status after the next deal

My post yesterday alluding to Rutherford mystifying signing of Brandon Tanev to 3.5 mil per x 6 yrs!
The next GM of the NHL Penguins will have a major mess on his hands...

It's probably more about term at this point, all these guys wants ufa status after the next deal You know... its an interesting statement for him to get his head out of his ass.. and I've been guilty of that narrative as well, but if you look at it... tell me why he has to take a haircut and Auston Matthews doesn't? He's more durable, he's been the leading scorer on the team for the past two seasons.. and this whole thing about centres supposed to make more money than wingers... I don't necessarily think is the case every single time. Mitch Marners a better play maker and argumentatively, makes more happen on the ice than AM34. I think we (leaf fans) are just mad at Marner because he's last. But it's hard to make an argument for why he should take less than Auston... Auston should have taken less and set the table. So to me, everyone's pointing at the Nylander contract as the bad one when in reality I think it was the Matthews contract that set this thing up to be a tirefire.

Great points made here. What centre on the Caps makes more than OV? Toronto's problem is a good one to have. If wee Willy plays like he did in 17/18 again his deal will be a steal in a year or two. Matthews is probably getting paid what hes worth according to the Market and I dont think Mitch asking for similar dollars is a big stretch. I dont think Im mad at Marner per say but mad at the general greed.I mean if you take 9 million for 8 years instead of 11 and play on a team that can afford support isnt that better than getting 11 million in Ottawa who stay near the cellar? Also how do you look at a guy like Hyman and watch him work every night while your stealing and extra million or two to stack on top of your $Ten Mill knowing your taking money out of his pocket too. Strange business.
