I'm expecting this trip to be UGLY.
We have an overpaid core 4 that could care less about winning as long as their undeserved money shows up in their bank accounts.
We have an aging core of D that are well on their way towards retirement.
Guaranteed contracts need to end in this sport. IMHO, pay for the players should be performance related game by game.
The NHL teams should be able to pay one higher rate to the players for winning a game, and a much lower rate for losing. The NHLPA, and the players themselves, should be responsible for dividing up the players earnings based on their competitiveness. They need to make goals, assists, GAA, and defensive ability, count for something when it comes to game pay.
Too many players under perform after being awarded high salaries. Too many players over perform in a contract year to attain those same inflated salaries.
A team that consistently wins games means that those players earn more salary. Losing teams players earn less money. It's a simple concept that would be very difficult to implement and maintain, but I feel it would be a lot better over time.
It would be great to get rid of the salary cap as well. Players could be assigned share percentages based on a scale derived from experience and performance metrics as calculated by the NHLPA.

Their next 5 games are LA, Anaheim, San Jose, San Jose and the Islanders (who are back to struggling again, having just lost twice in a row to Pittsburgh). I'm not sure why LA seems to play so poorly at home, but I expect the Leafs to get a good number of points in these 5 games.
Nice, love a California road trip
3:30pm start over here to, can watch the game at dinner so here's hoping the boys play well

Who is signing up for that? If you are Bedard this year and get drafted to a horrible team, he should get paid less?I'm expecting this trip to be UGLY.

Free agency would come to an end as no player would sign with a losing team.
This narrative that the Leafs fon't want to win is absurd. They spent their entire lives to get to this moment and of course they want to win.

Don't worry, I'm sure Keefe will punish Bertuzzi and Robertson next to really send a message

You're a broken record.
Yeah I've become pretty uninterested lately, I have the game on but usually most of my attention goes elsewhere. If Hildeby plays though, that'll get my attention for sure.
Bertuzzi probably makes too much money. Guys like Gregor and Benoit have reason to be nervous though, f***ing Keefe, I'm get more sick and tired of him with each passing day.

Pretty bold of me to expect wins against San Jose and Anaheim.

You say the same thing no matter who we play. For example, I remember you booking 2 points against Boston before we played them.
You also guaranteed that the Leafs would take over 1st place in the division by the end of the year, instead we slipped to 3rd.
Anyhow least you're not guaranteeing anything this time re. the next 5 games, that's progress. We'll see what happens.
