Also, Mikhaeyev losing a spot on PP2 doesn't matter to me one bit, he's gone at the end of the year and maybe at the draft trade him for a 2nd or 3rd.

You don't wanna be here? There's the door

I'd still prefer Mikheyev/Kase(when he's back) over blackwell on PP2 though.

here is hoping Dubas (if he is still the GM) doesn't F-up; and trades Mikheyev's negotiation rights to another team for a pick if someone wants to throw a 7th rounder to us

We are on pace for 111 points and are currently in a wildcard position

This division is something else. Need to win tonight to keep pace

I hope we lay a spanking on them. Pretend it's the playoffs all over again and we're seeking revenge, I don't care if they've been eliminated already.

hopefully, if they actually infract the Canadiens tonight, PP1 takes care of the opportunity and we don't have to worry about what PP2 might possibly have accomplished!

and I really hope Allen doesn't shut the Buds out ......that would be the absolute worst if this guy hung a zero on us, on a Saturday night in Montreal

Really we don’t?

Every line but our 4th line wins their matchup, meaning they are playing strong two-way hockey.

At full health our D has only 1 player who is suspect defensively, and funny enough that’s our #1D who is still above average.

In fact, we are structurally sound defensively AND have the proper players for it. Our only reason for defensive uncertainty is solely on goaltending.

Just out of curiosity though, where do you think our holes are defensively?

I certainly wouldn't call Holl a #1 D. 🤔

it is worthy of discussion when the one it affects this time wanted out due to lack of opportunity. Now, he's been removed from PP2. How do you think that might affect him when it's the off-season? He's going to re-up with the Leafs, or leave?

It's pretty ridiculous to think that his decision to stay or leave is going to be based on this 30 seconds of PP time that he hasn't been producing in anyway. It's not like we're tossing him aside. He has a solid role on a contending team, and we've given him plenty of chances.

I doubt Mikheyev re-signs with us regardless of what we do. If anything, Giordano and Liljegren are more likely to be here longer than Mikheyev. Mikheyev sounds like he wants to go elsewhere, and I doubt the leafs want to re-sign him at UFA prices anyway. We're going to use him in the most effective ways while we have him, and there's nothing wrong or unusual about that.

One thing is for sure - the coaching staff and the Leafs have a better read and understanding of the situation and potential impacts than you and your random negatively-skewed speculation.

some GM is going to give him 2.5-3m X3 and Dubas isn't that guy

Would they like to keep him, probably but the problem is he isn't going to stay here for what the Leafs have available to pay him, unless there are some changes which would have to be made but no clear way of making them

Personally I like Mikheyev but the cap is the cap and there's no getting around it, the only way he stays is if he takes a bit of a haircut and whether or not he's happy, loves the city and puts the crest above all else he's not taking a cut in pay, so truly the argument about his feelings is moot.

Isn't the bolded the very reason his feelings matter more than ever? Guys will take haircuts when they're happy to be there vs. elsewhere.

Always hate when Leafs have back-to-backs. Usually, the dread is reserved for the 2nd half of it, but I feel it for tonight, instead. We know they'll be fired up for Florida at home. What are they willing to expend tonight? Trap game feel to this one for sure.
Click to expand...

Well.... at least panthers are playing tonight too so both teams have back to back tomorrow.

Leafs again play back to back versus florida later with tampa first and then florida not sure how "even" that might be...

but we gotta make the best of the 4 points tonight and tomorrow. Good teams find a way to fight through adversity especially when going gets tough. Given playsoffs are just around the corner there is just no excuse not to ramp up the play. I

Amen to that. This is a potential 4 point swing, IF Ottawa can do to Florida what they sometimes due to Leafs over there. We could be down 3 to the Panthers with 2 wins and a loss to Ottawa for Florida.

not unlike the SS who signs for 12.5 and say's he left money on the table to help the team out, a ridiculous statement to say the least and one that has always made me roll my eyes and say "gawd give me strength, and help me tolerate all the righteous and sanctimonious hypocrites that I share the planet with!"

a guy who's in the middle class with not a lot of earning power is not going to drop 25-40% because he loves the crest or the city.
 
Can’t watch tonight, but I have to trust that the better team will win. No big analysis, no strategic points. Leafs are the superior team, so let’s just have them prove it tonight.

Go Leafs Go!

@riffle Mikheyev is a late arrival with a short career and really doesn't give a shit about anything other than the money.

I can't blame him. If I went to Russia to do a job I would be looking for top dollar too, not hearts and flowers.

Time to give the poor Ilya spiel a rest.

Is that you, TWS?

I'm ever skeptical of agent-speak but if you believe this, Mikheyev has already given to the Leafs via the haircut.

He was very happy back then as I recall but to your point that was nowhere near 40%.

EDIT: @The 6ix ...just saw your post. Do you feel Cobra went all out for money before he re-signed the last time? Absolutely no truth whatsoever to what Milstein said? And, the only reason I'm posting about Mikheyev right now is due to the reaction to the only post I planned on making regarding PP2 changes.
