People actually watch this game still?

 

Sorta.

Brianna Decker #paydecker... actually pays off, CCM matched the money and paid her, nice gesture by CCM. *golf claps*

[Spanky__99]

Bruins Rask to the IR, ouch, at least Halak has been pretty good this year.

Kings' Jake Muzzin to Leafs for Grundstrom, rights to Sean Durzi, and Leafs 2019 1st

Grundstrom could be a guy, Durzi is good and the 1st will be pretty much a 2nd rounder. I’m good with this, signed through until after next season at 4M. Babcock already said he’d play with Rielly pushing Hainsey to third pairing with hopefully Dermott.

Love it.

[Horses Fart]

Totally love this deal!!

[JG34]

Leafs keeping Sandin, Liljegren and Bracco makes this better.

[Krylian]

Significant price, but Muzzin is a significant addition to the blueline and he's battle tested.

[Dr. Dinger]

Seems like a great pickup for the cost; that 1st is going to be super low anyway. And the Leafs still have trade chips to get a RH Dman like Pietrangelo if the price is right.

Seems like that's kind of an actual thing, moreso than vetrin presents in baseball. Muzzin was a top pairing Dman on a Stanley Cup winning team, which means withstanding the onslaught of elite forwards on playoff teams and prevailing. That's worth something, knowing the level of play in the playoffs and rising to that challenge.

If you can't put it in a spreadsheet, some will just discount anything automatically.

So this pretty much closes the door on a Gardiner return?

I’m not sure why Gardiner would want to come back, regardless. He’s been underrated by his own fanbase for years, de-prioritized as a core asset by management, and now he’s even booed by his home crowd. Unless the Leafs can somehow dump Zaitsev and Marleau there was never any chance Gardiner would come back. He’ll get close to $6M x 5 years from some other team and then get booed maniacally whenever he plays in Toronto.

Pietrangelo or Parayko were my preferred targets. I would imagine the price would be Kapanen/Johnsson + Liljegren +?

I doubt Parayko is available. Pietrangelo I think will be moved, the problem for the Leafs is his salary, so the Blues would have to take back Zaitsev, which could be a dealbreaker.

I didn't think he was coming back anyway, but ya, we have our Jake replacement. I don't think dollars work unless Gardiner takes a huge discount...which he won't...and shouldn't.

Dermott should be ready to move to the second pairing next season if he doesn’t return.

Too bad Chiarelli wasn’t still GM in Edmonton, I’m sure he would’ve loved Zaitsev.

I say make him play drunk. That's how you punish the team.

He went offside on the road for the last time!

I'm betting on the Jets + Rangers parlay!

Dayum that was a nice goal.
