Bummed about the Leafs getting Foligno. They are legit contenders now and I hate them.

I like Nick Foligno, I don't like Hall, but that return gets my hopes up pretty high for our return in the Hall trade

If they make it that far, Tampa is going to steam role them, same with Washington. Leafs D hasn't faced significant consistent pressure outside of Edmonton, and even then, it was with a couple lines. Their current division has nothing near the capacity of Tampa. IMO.

Toronto will Toronto. They do every year. Without fail. I look forward to tasting Leaf fans tears again.

And no, this year is NOT different.

I know it’s strange to say, but I don’t really feel anything near this level of dislike for the Leafs.  In my Sabres fandom, the two teams have never been good at the same time.

same here. What I do hate are Leaf fans. They act like the team they are rooting for has a long history of success. I sometimes wonder if they think the Canadiens are actually the Leafs

Absolutely a majority of the animosity towards the Loafs stems from their fans misplaced sense of entitlement.  They forget that their SC drought is longer than the Sabres drought & even getting within 4 games of hoisting that chalice has also eluded them longer than the Sabres have existed.

They're like Yankee fans but with absolutely nothing to back their brashness.  (Though watching Cowboy fans heading down their road brings a certain warmness to the heart.)

Toss on Canadian sport media's insistence on overhyping everything Loaf, and disliking them is almost a given.  Blank the Loafs & their helmet wearing fans.

Hope you're right. All I know is I will be cheering for whoever they play against.

Liked Highmore in Bates Motel. Underrated show

[LabattBlue]

I'm wondering if there is any market for Sheahan or Rider, or does Adams feel he has to keep a few vets around?  I would think for a 6th or 7th round pick teams would want guys like this as a 4th line/13th forward depth for the playoffs.

I guess the Blackhawks despite being only 4 points out of a playoff spot, are packing it in.  First Janmark, now Soderberg.

I don't agree with being able to do this, adding a 3rd team to a deal for the sole purpose of taking on cap hit for other teams. 

(Although I guess this year that might be the only way for deals to get done because all the buyers are pretty much right up against the cap)

If this is legal, why could a team like Buffalo just shop picks to teams with space for a players cap hit? Why couldn't they call a team like SJ and offer them a 5th for 1/3 of Skinners cap hit this year?

[Zamboni]

I wish there was a way (while viewing the forum in night mode) to change the Twitter posts people are posting to white text. The dark blue in back of black text has been difficult to read to say the least 😂

These deals are legal because the team taking 25% of the salary are getting the player in the initial deal & then trading him with 50% retention of the new cap.

They can't get SJ or another team to take a portion of Skinner's cap because they'd be stuck w/ whatever %age they agree to take for the entire remainder of his deal (6 more years at present) before trading him on to whoever actually ends up with him.   That'll cost way more than a 4th round pick to make happen.

[Zamboni]

Not to mention ... again ... Skinner has a NMC for 6 more years.

No MC

N Movement C

N M Clause
