GDT: 2022 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Arthuros]

Can't make this shit up.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Vasilev is such a horse. Really an incredible athlete

 

[Bergey37]

The best part about Toronto's failure is that Dubas is likely gone and the org will seek to completely restructure the team, starting with shedding salary and prima donnas.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Leafs radio announcer goes, “it’s happened again” lol

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

I believe that's the 11th time Perry's eliminated a Canadian team from the playoffs

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

TEN STRAIGHT elimination game losses. Hard to fathom, even if you had to face a team with Tampa’s championship resilience

 

[Static]

Nylander is the probable sacrifice in Toronto I'd guess. They wont be able to move Tavares.

 

[bsu]

I'm down to sign Perry to a 1 year retirement contract next season... He still can play is more useful than most we had in bottom 6. We are going to be awful and not competing anyway.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Leafs just have way too many “nice guys”

Marner got manhandled at the end there.

Even if they got some decent production from him in this series, signing Tavares at an 11M average is the obvious mistake in hindsight. He wasn't what they needed in a 2C behind Matthews and the money would roughly pay for both an adequate replacement and a top 4 D.

I know it's easy to have a good chuckle at the Leafs expense, but this year wasn't the same kind of meltdown for them as in previous years. They were the better team for a lot of this series. Against most teams that would have been good enough, but Tampa is just so battle tested they were able to weather the storm.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Leafs!!! Keep that losing going! Ha!

This series loss to Tampa is nothing to be ashamed of alone, but having all the resources/support they have and failing to win a playoff round for this long - just not good enough.

He signed a two year deal with Tampa

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Nylander is the probable sacrifice in Toronto I'd guess. They wont be able to move Tavares.

The problem there is he's on such a reasonable AAV that there's almost no way their lineup gets better. With Marner at least they could probably use that money on two good players and be able to keep Campbell.

But I dunno, there's no easy solutions to that one. They built as efficiently of a team as I think you could when you're spending half your cap on four forwards, I'm not even sure if they can run it back. That's a tough one.

Just seen that, nevermind.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Just seen that, nevermind.

Chin up, I’m sure he’d still be good enough to crack this team next off season!

 

[Bergey37]

We could take him; we have the cap space and his cash salary is only $1M.

I think they zag with the roster as much as they can and reallocate a forward's salary on the blueline or in net.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they took a long look at Gibson. I don't think they should, but I wouldn't be surprised.

If Dubas isn't fired, and I guess I don't really think he should be, I imagine they just mostly run it back. Try and dump Mrazek, resign Campbell and Giordano if he'll take a hometown discount, keep some other guys and maybe add if they can. I just don't know how different the next outcome's gonna be.

Full NMC automatically would put a stop to that.

To make any real tangible changes to their roster construction Toronto is going to have no choice but to move Marner or Nylander.

I imagine the pressure will be to change things and his job might be contingent on it.

 

[bsu]

McDavids edges are just ridiculous. God put him on this earth to skate.

[Mr Rogers]

Nylander would be awesome in Anaheim
