It's disgusting that Shanahan is still here, he should've been shot out of a cannon in 2023.
This is why many teams buy out or have to dump these players within a few seasons. I don't understand the argument that being willing to pay a lot of money for an average player, it must mean they are worth it like GMs don't make dumb decisions all the time
Tampa's mgmt have the stones to make the hard decisions, Toronto's mgmt, not so much...........
one can wish...........Treliving working on a fleecing for sure!!!
You gotta hand it to TB.. they aren’t afraid to ship guys out.. young guys at that and change the dynamics of their team. We got a management crew who are scared shitless to ask a player to waive a NMC
Or just that nobody want them on their team.This draft is really showing us how risk adverse, ultra conservative and unimaginative the Shanahan regime is.
In a summer where big organizational change has been identified, I don't think you can stand pat on everything and keep the band together like you're protecting a championship recipe. Even if you can't move off a core piece, I think you owe it to optics to at least shuffle the deck a little, swap out a Jarnkrok and a Kampf or something that might imply a bigger restructuring later.
As boring off the ice as they are on it.
I'm willing to retain 50% of Marner's deal if the signing bonus is that big of a deal. Holy cow, this team isn't it! The cap went up a record breaking amount and it's immediately nulled by just 2 of the core 4 and Mitch wants a big raise? You've got to be kidding. I'm pretty close to adding a sweetener in addition. Desperate for some kind of pulse from this group.This draft is really showing us how risk adverse, ultra conservative and unimaginative the Shanahan regime is.

That's not really saying anything. Some contracts are good, some are bad, yes.
But has Allvin shown you anything to make you believe he's prone to overpaying guys? All of his signings have looked like good values, so if even he's willing to go $5+, that should tell you something.
Or just that nobody want them on their team.
As that’s the reason why we want them to be off our team the first place.
Yes? Allvin certainly isn't excused of this. He signed Kuzmenko and Mikheyev from the top of my head.
It only tells me he wanted to keep the player, but the player will likely get more and term. It doesn't say much of anything. And it will likely be a mistake.

Meanwhile, Doug McLean was completely flipping out over the idea of trading Marner on Real Kyper and Bourne yesterday.
I’m expecting a 8 year extension for Marner at this point. It’s super safe, that’s how this management team acts.I'm willing to retain 50% of Marner's deal if the signing bonus is that big of a deal.

Yes? Allvin certainly isn't excused of this. He signed Kuzmenko and Mikheyev from the top of my head, and he's only been there since 2022.

Because they are Leafs.How come nobody want Kampf, Calle and Sammy’s UFA rights, lol
they know what winning Is like!!You gotta hand it to TB.. they aren’t afraid to ship guys out.. young guys at that and change the dynamics of their team. We got a management crew who are scared shitless to ask a player to waive a NMC
Yes and no. As those players are always available in the UFA market, and they are not players who will be in a bidding war for signings.No I don't believe that, they're solid NHL players but just part of a whole recipe that doesn't work in Toronto.
