Dissentowner information is good it would appear from the outside. I try to avoid duplicating information that is already out and I appreciate his information sharing as everyone else. So thank you diss!
I’ve herd suggestions that if a deal between Calgary and Toronto did happen that it wouldn’t include deals in place for either player.
The cap uncertainty is all the talk between agents and teams(I stated as much previously). You got stars or superstars on their respective teams needing extensions and players want to get paid… Lindholm in Calgary, Petterson in Vancouver, Matthews in Toronto ect.
Flames are currently the ugly ducklings of the NHL as all we’ve herd is players want out why why why wah wah. We have some rebranding to do and we can’t do that till the puck drops.
Leafs are straight up a cap nightmare and will most likely continue till we see the 10-12 million dollars added… but tre will end up spending that money, he always has….
Noah is a minute muncher and some pro scouts feels he hasn’t found that extra gear to be effective in the PO… there is minutes and hard minutes and those minutes become even more critical in the PO.
Nylander has all the tools in the box. When the heat gets turned up, he’s an impact player. The thing in Toronto is he isn’t the “guy” but he’s asking for that kind of money(I would too, Toronto is the Dallas Cowboys of the NHL). One pro scout I talk with regularly says he doesn’t believe he would produce as much getting opposition teams top shutdown units but I believe he is a PPG if inserted into Calgary’s roster.
