If he lands in the division we play him 5 times a year. This logic is backwards and makes zero sense.

calgary could have had the best arena in the NHL and JT wouldn't have come here... not like EDM has seen a ton of UFAs flocking there

I can't wait to see the mess that will be their cap once Marner and Matthews are ready to sign extensions. They could very well have close to 30 million locked into 3 players, then you have Nylander, and their modest at best defense.

Pagnotta and TFP broke this first. Good on them. He actually had the Leafs winnings this hours ago IIRC.
