Who gives a s__t? Many players like playing in Canada.
I think people are jetting from Toronto because of the core 4. I think other players are leaving Canada because they prefer the US lifestyle better.

If you are a low income earner, you are better off in Canada, if you are a high income earner, you are better off in the USA.

Shanahan has lost the script.

He's made an absolute mess the last 2 seasons.

What specifically has Shanahan actually done? We know he hires the GMs. There is an unsubstantiated rumour that he blocked the Fleury trade, which may have involved Matthew Knies. We know Dubas had to get board approval for some major deals, but that’s above Shanahan and isn’t particularly uncommon for sports teams.
 
Nothing at all is wrong, whatever are you referring to?
They have $5.3M in cap space left with RFA G Ilya Samsonov in need of a contract.

Maybe they didn’t want to stay or leaf’s didn’t offer the same money.

We have no idea. Players always say they love a place and then they leave in free agency

Would of loved to keep Acciari ….love the kid

The other two…hard pass . Too old and slow for my liking and ROR has been overrated from our fans. He offered nothing in playoffs. no grit and slow for our top 6

I wanted Schenn back but O'Reilly is just too slow, literally looked slower than Tavares out there.
 
Tavares is the only real problem with this team player wise...
He's ufa value this season might be 4 million at best and probably one of the worst captains in leafs history

Tavares would have higher value than O'Reilly

I feel their is a real divide in the locker room between the in separable and most expensive players and the rest of the team!

Why would this be the case? Which one of the other players should be paid more? Even Kampf and Reaves are overpaid now.
 
I love how the media constantly points out how Treliving is always working. The busiest guy in the game! Busy? With what, constantly adjusting his glasses or eating burritos? Mmm burritos. I want one now.

Shanny and Dubas screwed things up big time. Shanny for letting a kid hand out those contracts to players who haven't earned the $$$ at the time so easily.
 
-You think Shanny signed Keefe?
- You think Shanny purged this team of it's toughness Dubas first year?
-You think it was Shanny the former NHL powerforward who tried to turn the Leafs into the 80s oilers?
- Shanny was the one said this team lacks killer instinct.

Etc

I don't think Shanny had any major disagreements with what was happening. He's the team president, had authority to intervene any time he wanted .

"He's ufa value this season might be 4 million at best" very wrong
"probably one of the worst captains in leafs history" very very right

Looks like Calgary and Winnipeg are not the only ones with rush flights out. Schenn, Acciari, ROR. None wanted back. ROR apparently outspoken earlier about Keefe and the locker room. And now with news that Keefe is staying and no core changes, is the problem Shanahan.

It's really starting to look like it.
 
Pretty sure ROR saw how Tavares was absolutely destroyed by fans & media and wanted no part in it as he begins to further decline.
Common theme in the dressing room was that it was too quiet.
Tavares is an enigma and has no personality mix that in with the rest of the choirboys and it's problematic.

I just get big vibes that all these players that came in at last years TDL wanted out.

Sure, they got better term elsewhere but something stinks.

That would make perfect sense actually. Honestly he is not a bad player and even got signed for fairly cheap but I want more speed in the line up again.
 
Tax differences will always exist and can only be addressed by the CBA. Covid policies kept, what, three guys from not coming here the Leafs may have been interested in?

Tax differences are overblown. The “no tax” states still pay 1/3 of their salaries in taxes.

I realize 1/3 is less than 1/2, but I get the feeling people really think those places don’t pay anything.

That’s the team our current GM walked into. You may not like what he’s done to address it, but he didn’t crate that mess.

He would get paid around the same as Johnny Gaudreau and Jonathan Huberdeau.

But maybe you’re right and 80+ point players sign $4M.

I can’t think of any but you should be able to name a few that signed today for $4M

Yeah I don't care who's responsible, I'm just seeing how it stacks up right now and pretty goddamn grim. I realize it's only July 1st and there's lots to be done but so far we're brought in an old man who beats people up and a dman who cannot play defence.

Matt Murray HAS to be moved

Tavares is very proud of being a terrible captain. It's his life goal to be the worst Leafs captain ever and he's living it now.

Pretty sure JT silently sits at his stall and stares blankly into nothingness until it's game time.
Y'know the thing about Tavares, he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes.

$11M per year is a bonus

I just had a look at the real estate listings in Nashville, the same house in southern Ontario would costs you 3 times as much. If you have money and want to rise a family it would be smarter to do so in Nashville.
