Well as soon as Skinner signs with a new team, I am betting my house and retirement on them to win the Cup in 2025.

Iginla is flawed, I just want to point that out. He has a bad tendency to just haphazardly shove pucks to the middle of the ice on low chance plays and he sometimes likes to shoot from the perimeter because there is a shot lane. He also over-handles but alot of jr guys do so don't care there. Basically, I am saying he needs to get better at playing a pro game but that isn't much of a concern.

They are but the connection is the Leafs could shed salary and get a nice haul to augment a top heavy roster while signing Skinner to a cheaper deal and still gettin 30g and 30a or so. It helps offset losing Marner while they rebalance a roster that clearly needs it. It would free up 10mil - Skinner at say 5mil while allowing them to get assets, redistribute that money to the defense or to the NHL player they get for Marner (would assume they get NHL player, high end prospect, 1st round pick, something else). Just thinking out loud if the Leafs wanted to do some things that might make them better long term.

Reposting for those who missed it on the previous page. Chad DeDominicis is reporting that Jeff Skinner will be bought out if a trade does not materialize which seems unlikely (the trade part)

Leafs could sign Skinner and trade Marner.

Supposedly it won't be until 2026 when Fanatics will be using their own materials and potentially facilities for jerseys.

pronman, Wheeler, peters, button, McKenzie are the 5 they are aggregating together.

Fans of the Sabres think the most irrelevant team in the league still matters. We're an AHL team masquerading as an NHL team and until the front office grows up, we're just going to develop players and send them off to winners. The Sabres don't matter. It's positively bananas to think Reinhart would have mentioned Buffalo in his cup win or honestly even Okposo. They ain't thinking about Buffalo, they are thinking about who they won with. Buffalo is not relevant.

"Yea these guys are okay, ik we just won the Cup and all but like the Sabres... let me talk about them and how much I love them. I haven't played there in 2 years but let me randomly talk about the Sabres. They were better than this cup winning group, bunch of losers in this locker room let me tell you, but the Sabres under Ralph Krueger, what a team!" - Kylsom Reinhardt-Poso

We go live to Kevyn Adams who also needs to improve his team:

The *****? Yzerman starting to clear cap space for something

Andrew Gibson is a solid RHD with some offense to his game and good gap control. He's 6'3" and has second pairing or third pairing potential.

Did the draft simulator for the first 4 round and got the following: 11: Tij Iginla, 6' C/W 43: Cole Beaudoin, 6'2" C 76: Noel Fransen, 6' LHD 108: Sam O'Reilly, 6'1" C/W 109: Lukas Fischer, 6'4" LHD Second try: 11: Cayden Lindstrom, 6'4" C 43: Charlie Elick, 6'3" RHD 76: Sam O'Reilly, 6'1" C/W 108: Tarin Smith, 6'1" LHD 109: AJ Spellacy, 6'3" C

I like him but I could see him bust. I know that is a non answer answer so I will instead say, I think Eiserman will be good.

People not liking individual goal songs is the dumbest hill I have ever seen anyone want to die on. God forbid players have any individuality or personality. If Ruff really does squash this, he's truly lost it because this, this isn't the difference between playoffs and not. Focusing on such irrelevant things would really tell me that the coach and management team are clueless beyond belief. Who the ***** cares if players pick a goal song?

Who? We've never drafted a player by that name.

Who?

Brandsegg-Nygård put up 10pts in 12 qualification games to end his team's season in the Allvenskan. That's on top of the 18pts in 41 games for the regular season. He did really well for an 18yr old in a men's league and is probably only 1 or 2 years away from an NHL lineup. His defensive game is very polished.
