I do however find it interesting that its mostly the same revisionist historians who denounce Leafs management for letting Hyman walk in every thread that I see blasting Mitch Marner for not being built for playoffs. Zach Hyman never scored more than a single playoff goal in a series while playing for Toronto. Toronto never got through the first round with Zach Hyman in the lineup. 2017: [--] GP [--] goal. 2018: [--] GP [--] goal 2019: [--] GP [--] goal 2020: [--] GP [--] goal 2021: [--] GP [--] goal If we still had Hyman"

"Before the conversations about who to keep who to move and who to sign continue lets make sure were all on the same page. The Leafs have $19 million in cap space - sounds like a lot but its an illusion. The cap is $87.7m next season thats an average of $3.81m per player across [--] players. Lets assume that means [--] forwards [--] defensemen [--] goalies. Distributed equally that would mean: [--] forwards: $53.4m [--] defensemen: $27.7m [--] goalies: $7.6m The Leafs currently have $55.6m spent on just [--] forwards next season. Nylanders deal kicks in. Itll cost $9m+ to re-sign Domi and Bertuzzi. Robertson"

"In full transparency Ive always had a hard time cheering for another Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup. Given the 30+ year cup drought in Canada Ive always considered there to be a race among Canadian teams to win the next one and I want Toronto to win that race. If another Canadian team wins first itd feel like a loss to me of sorts. With that said I also generally cheer for historic moments. For legacy. Tiger Woods Serena Williams Tom Brady Jon Jones - theres nothing like witnessing greatness in competition. Hell Ill watch Joey Chestnut shove hot dogs into his face. At times it almost"

"My thoughts on reports of Mitch Marner negotiating an extension in Toronto: My position is as follows: Mitch Marner is an incredible hockey player. He does not get the respect he deserves from most. He is often misunderstood often misrepresented and often criticized beyond what is fair or reasonable. Dont get it twisted - Mitch Marner has earned his share of criticism but Ill repeat; he is criticized beyond what is fair or reasonable. Personally I would love to see Marner remain a Maple Leaf. HOWEVER Ive seen too little evidence to believe Torontos cap structure is sustainable. The Leafs are"

"Mitch Marner disappears in the playoffs One of the coolest parts about X is the having the ability to communicate with thousands of people who live in an entirely different universe. In my native reality Mitch Marner is ranked 28th overall in points-per-game in the playoffs since hes come into the league among players with 25+ playoff games played. Tied with Barkov and Ovechkin. Thats higher than all other Leafs Panarin Bergeron Tkachuk Stamkos J. Robertson and plenty more. Again this is from the time he was a rookie - a wee lad. Hes 12th overall in the last [--] seasons with the same filter -"

Because hes under [--] as of June 30th this year does this mean his contract would come off the books with no cap penalty if he retired at any point during his contract If yes does the league have any recourse if he signs a max-term deal to circumvent the cap or is that dependent on how the contract is structured (ie. front loaded w/ signing bonuses) Still digging for the answer myself. #LeafsForever Acquiring Tanevs rights from Dallas gives Toronto the option of going to max [--] year term.
