If Arizona wasn't such a gong show, it would be right at the top of the list in terms of destinations for UFAs, just behind the Southern teams. Never underestimate the power of weather and lifestyle in an athlete's decision-making.

Sure but depending what was available to him he may not have had much choice.
Bunch of guys signed in Chicago this year as well.

Right.

So if I had to pick between Chi and Arz for a paycheque, well I am choosing the warm weather.

I am sure Kerfoot hopes over his time there that they will turn it around and he can help be a part of that, and I am pretty sure he would rather be in the playoffs, but early golf in great weather is not the worst

If it were me it would be Jones tonight, because you have Vegas tomorrow and as much as I still don't trust Samsonov he is the best goaltender right now and I want my best goaltender against the best team and that's Vegas.

However I believe we will see Samsonov tonight because he is the best goaltender right now I have no doubt they REALLY want this one because if they get it they go 5-0 without Rielly and then he comes back tomorrow with the team feeling good.

As always it's the two conflicting trains of thought.

1. Do you try to maximize the likelihood of 4 points by putting the better goalie second against the stronger opponent?
2. Or, do you try to ensure you get 'at least' 2 points by ensuring you win the first game with the better goalie and leave the back to back up to chance.

My vote is Jones tonight and Sam tomorrow, but we'll see.

Is there an echo in here ? :laugh:

He's also closer to home being out West. I imagine whether he's in Chicago or Arizona he's heading home after the season regardless.

It's a tough one. Playing the lesser goalie against the lesser team can also increase the chance of getting swept.

Team is playing well and rolling, they should expect to win every night right now, IMO.

These western trips really piss me off. There is no reason to play these teams twice a season. none. I’d rather play the division rivals more, at least that guarantees regular start times for your local fan base. This is garbage.

The league tried that and the fans lost their minds at not being able to see each team in their home rink once a season.

Plus, it's not like we play these guys more than once on the road... and generally the team has 3 western road trips per season right? California, Western Canada and the mid-south-west tip. And even then, at least a 3rd of the games are on at 7.

So what is that, 6-7 games that are on late? And, if the game is trending down, just turn it off an go to bed, no harm done lol

To watch what pieces off the Arizona carcass we can add at the trade deadline.

Could we get them to OVER-pay for Knies? Like I mean REALLY overpay.
They have 20 selections in the next 3 years first 3 rounds burning a hole in their pockets.

An overpay for Knies that I would ponder is along the lines of 3 first round picks including their top 5 pick this year. And I’d still have to consider it. Knies is going to be something really special.

What odds can you get for Matthews not scoring?

It just seems too much of a set up. And that doesn't often happens with the Leafs.

Noticed Connor Ingram has played the majority of games (35) for the Yotes and has some pretty good numbers (2.76 GAA, .912 SV% and 5 SO) so I wondered where did they get this guy from?

Not me man. I'm used to the weather in Toronto and like the idea of four seasons. Chicago restaurants are amazing and I believe Chicago is the Blues capital of the world, being able to see top notch live blues music on a regular basis would be awesome.

Chicago is definitely a better city with a lot more history and culture IMO. Phoenix/Scottsdale area are fun but they also get old real fast and the heat is f***ing brutal. Sure, it's pleasant October-April but May-Sep you can't even go outside during the day, even the pools get warm.

Jones or Samsonov tonight?

Matthews getting 50 in his home town works out well.

Might as well get another hat trick. :)

I love it.

Stomping around through Texas/Oklahoma/New Mexico and Arizona in the summer is great.

You just have to be prepared to drink 10 gallons of water a day
