Flames pick too high for Tij

The Leafs' medical staff reminding Matt Murray just how injured he is.

Entered…beware Resting Mitch Face!!!!!!!!

Boo…but makes sense

What’s the format? Pick x amount of players and positions or pick a guy from a box of guys?

In essence you are correct, but the trade to Toronto was due to the fact he wasn’t going to be protected and they wanted a return asset.

Wait...did you just call yourself the greatest mind in hockey?!?

That's pretty strong Leafs hate IMO. You mention intangibles and other skills and then dismiss Matthews because he isn't leading in points. He plays a full ice game and backchecks hard. I see it every day living in the Toronto bubble that he is a strong leader and does all of the extras in all three zones. Winning one cup does not make you better.

Not 100%. No one has also said McDavid is the greatest yet. I’m saying that Matthews, McDavid and Draisaitl are the best three players in the league right now. Talent wise, no one is better…cups don’t rank your skill in a team game. I’d also say regardless of position but I’ll listen to Shesterkin or Vaselevsky arguments, but still disagree. MacKinnon, Makar and Josi are ridiculously good as well, but again lesser than the three I mentioned.

1) Yes he does. Guessing max 8 years to get this cash. He will retire as one of the greatest franchise players of all time (statistically speaking...lets see on cups) 2) He will not leave. The Leafs will not trade his rights. Return is moot. New team is non existent. As all here know I am a die hard Leafs fan and this is not fanboy Scott typing this, it is rational thinking Scott. There is a zero percent chance he goes elsewhere (0.1 if you don't believe in absolutes). The cap will be increasing and no team will just give away that amount, but he will earn it. The fact remains that he is a top 3 player in the league (McDavid & Draisaitl the other two...yes all three are better than MacKinnon who is 4th) and you cannot look at old contracts as comparable, as they are dated. It will happen.
