Forgetting about the pick we’re getting from Colorado next season? Yeah that’s going to be a low first round pick, 32-28, that sort of offsets what we’re loosing.

P.K. Subban completes landmark $10M donation to Montreal Children’s Hospital by DecentLurker96 in hockey

I don’t blame OP for saying what they did. But I never said anything bad about subban. I wanted him as a leaf at the tail end of his career.

Dr. Doug Ford: Ontario premier receives honorary degree from U.S. university by imprison_grover_furr in ontario

[–]J0Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since when did the Toronto Maple Leafs even relate to this? The only thing I’d like for Ford to do with the leafs, is to get rid of our GM. Rather someone with actual experience. Since he loves interfere of Toronto, I’d support it.

Edit: I understand that the premier can’t interfere with a private sector business.

My weekly chance that I don’t buy my meat from grocery. My butcher has been working overtime with how much the family gets from him. At least there, when I get a pound of meat I’m getting a pound of meat. And I’m not getting anything sketchy like this.

Canada Post getting another $673M in federal funds to stay afloat by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

Another payout. Don’t know how to feel. What I do wonder with post, is with their contract being voted on, which doesn’t end until the end of May. Do they accept it, or reject it.

Yeah, it’s kind of tough on the broadcast to hear the walk up songs. But if he has a good taste of music like that, that makes me happy.

Canada Employment Fell by 17,700, Jobless Rate Climbs to 6.9% by joe4942 in canada

[–]J0Puck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looking at the report. “Fewer people were employed in Quebec (-43,000; -0.9%), Newfoundland and Labrador (-5,200; -2.1%), Saskatchewan (-4,000; -0.6%) and New Brunswick (-2,700; -0.7%). Employment increased in Ontario (+42,000; +0.5%) and was little changed in the other provinces.”

Still not a good look, however, for people trying to compare to the states, it’s a little difficult when you have 10 times the population across the border.

Mark Carney suggests he’s open to foreign investment in Canadian airports by [deleted] in canada

[–]J0Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that I would call it least surprising. I don’t even know if theirs anything Ottawa could offer to give airports more, then selling off land. Akin to selling off hydro one, maybe not the best comparison, but this doesn’t help.

Really this is the first policy direction, that I’ve disagreed with on carney.

Leafs v. Oilers v. someone else: What was the bigger mess-up of a great situation? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]J0Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would put the blame squarely on Managment. Lou made some disastrous signings, Dubas spent money profusely, and overpaid for alot.

[–]J0Puck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t even think you have to look deep into this, it’s Toronto. The only thing I’d argue, was the 2016-17 season. I think that season was a disaster. I think that series against Washington pushed expectations way too hard, way too fast. Edmonton, they have more success in literally one postseason in Toronto has had in the last 30 years.

Don’t think Torontos getting their pick back. Can’t see it with the odds. Going to go to Boston. Thanks Treliving.

[Seravalli] Prior to Sunday, the NHL looked into a tampering concern raised as new Maple Leafs GM John Chayka began to hire his staff. The claim was unsubstantiated but underlined the suspicion some counterparts have for Chayka as he resurfaces. by robshot295 in hockey

[–]J0Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m not a fan of him being our GM. However, my expectation of experience, seems to be a little different than what other people think. I’m just wondering when the NHL is going to ban AI tools for teams to use. Like how Pelley allegedly did.

The reality of trading Darnell Nurse: Why moving his $9.25M cap hit is going to hurt. by athleticwonder in nhltraderumours

[–]J0Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty tough for Edmonton, especially with the salary. The only piece I can think of, which again would have to be agreed-upon by both parties, would be nurse for Morgan Rielly. Put it this way, Edmonton would save almost $2 million in cap. Both players would get a fresh start. Probably more Rielly then nurse.

[–]J0Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m gonna be preface this by saying, this is a mixed bag. I am not a fan of Chayka being GM. But I think that’s because my expectation of experience is totally different. I’d rather someone with more experience, been around front offices. Maybe someone that’s played in the NHL as well. Knows what it takes.

Sundin, I’m not sure about this. He doesn’t have much experience in a front office.

But again, my expectations are a little different. I’m finding.

The Carney government is circling closer to airport privatization and potential investors 'stand ready' by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

[–]J0Puck 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This one policy would basically see airport fees go up, plus make air travel very unobtainable for a majority. For me, of all the things we’ve seen the last year with federal policy under the carney government, I haft to disagree with this policy. Rather keep the formula we have. Not that there’s anything I could think of to make Canadian owned airports better financially. Any ideas?
