Mitch Marner on his Toronto Maple Leafs future: 'I’m just going to say I love being here' | TSN
Mitch Marner was in attendance Wednesday as John Tavares transitioned the team's captaincy to Auston Matthews. Marner kept the focus on the two leaders, but restated his desire to remain a Maple Leaf as he enters the final year of his current contract.

It is funny how players that want to stay with their current clubs seem to be catching more flak this summer than guys that want out.

Does Elliot address Jeff’s dismissal? I haven’t had a chance to listen to this episode yet.

I have 8 minutes left to listen to it. Stuck in meetings at work.
He did not talk about it in the first 18 minutes. And I am not really expecting him to mention it. The most I expect at this point is maybe a thanks to Jeff at the end...
Also Broke talking about who fans shouldn’t shouldn’t be angry with his kind of funny. That man stole from the Sabres for years.

wow. Podkolzin for a 4th? I thought he was going to be a good player. Or am I thinking of the wrong guy here?

His development cratered. He is no longer waiver exempt and it looked like he wasn’t going to make the Canucks opening roster.

Podkolzin at $1M for this year and next.

Guessing at least Holloway is gone, probably figure they can get the same level of play from Pod for less money.

Oilers front office fends off pesky Blues with slick moves
As the moves rolled in on a quiet, somewhat smoky Sunday night in August, what came into view was a master class. That is, if your goal was to see the St. Louis Blues go unrewarded on their offer sheets to both Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway.
Mike Grier bailed them out.
The Sharks are the new Yotes this offseason. And this is why offersheets, while chaosy fun, are rare.
Waddell: Laine 'does not want to play' for Jackets but may be only option
Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell is still trying to trade Patrik Laine, but the executive knows there's a realistic possibility that the forward will have to stay put for the time being. "This is a different situation than any that I've really dealt with," he said during a...

"Trade me right ****ing now!"
"Yeah, about that...."

Honestly this is what teams with no aspirations should be doing. Filling up the IOU bucket.
Something Adams refused to do. And shocker, now nobody is doing him any favors.

I'm curious what happens here. At some point, someone will need scoring. My guess is Waddell is willing to wait it ou.

Punctuation, or lack thereof, makes this comment funnier than it’s supposed to be.

I think Waddell tells Laine that he needs to play his way out of town and that once another GM is willing to give up the minimal acceptable trade package, then he will get the trade he wants.
But, given Laine's struggle to be available for 70+ games lately and the issues with his game, I am not shocked that Laine's agent can't drum up enough trade interest around the league to make a deal happen.
How many more Future Considerations did Adams have to trade for to have GMs owe him a favor?
Likely.

Adams taking on a bad contract for a mid pick here or there (or helping retain on salary in some trades) would have greased the wheels a bit.
Its a small enough "club" of GMs that you want to be the easy to work with guy, not the "squeeze you for every dime your worth" guy

I liked him in his draft year and he turned into a steady bottom pairing dman. We don't hit on em all.
