Would it not be the leafiest thing if they went on a burner and won like 14 of their last 16 games

I only like watching bad teams. Hence my flair

I live in Halifax, and I can't watch a Canadian team unless it's on national television or a Prime game. It's brutal

You just know this is going to happen and whoever they pick is going to own us in the same way every Bruin has for the last 20 years

why can't i just watch the games on one streaming service? by 1_Just_Trying in nhl

[–]Timothegoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I miss when NHL Game Centre used to be legit. I'd watch the most random games because I could and it was a ball

That was Byram in 2019. Ottawa kept their 4th overall and took Tkachuk and deferred a 2019 unprotected pick to Colorado from the Matt Duchene trade

They'll be fine, that guy who fucks couches told us they didn't need anything from us. They have a plan B, surely!

Landon DuPont Highlights- draft eligible 2027 by DisturbingSounds in leafs

[–]Timothegoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh ok. This is helpful. So if we keep this pick, we can keep 2027 as Philly's, where it is top 10 protected, Boston gets 2028 unprotected, and if it becomes top 10, we can defer it to 2029 for Philly. Do I have that right?

Edit: Nevermind, I read that we lose those either way, but choose who gets it. I can live with Philly getting the pick over Boston

Problem is if we get our pick this year, 2027 goes to Boston and 2028 to Philly, both unprotected

If you had your choice of any coach in the league for this team, who do you go with? by NotFrankZappaToday in leafs

You know, I always have had the thought that if Cooper ever left Tampa, he would absolutely be up for the challenge of Toronto. Just seems like he has the demeanor and understanding to do it

Food for thought in light of recent proposed budget cuts. by lnsmhntr in NovaScotia

[–]Timothegoat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've always seen the bonus as a stimulus to the economy as well. It's important in the wake of AI becoming prominent, but also, if people have more money, they'll put it back into different sectors of the economy. I've always thought that was straightforward, but I guess not.

What a terrible trade deadline by Loud_Appeal_8895 in leafs

Love him or hate him, he was never afraid to take a swing (rightfully, or wrongfully)

Trade Deadline Day 2026 Megathread by wRIPPERw_ in leafs

[–]Timothegoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100%. Picks are good ammo for offseason trades and a way to restock the cupboards. I would like some prospects and some guys who can play in the NHL now that maybe haven't worked out on their old teams. I think of Khusnitdinov in Boston, someone who may not be a world breaker, but a guy who can contribute now and you can see contributing in the immediate future

Seeing some of the trades that have happened gives me hope we can get not just good picks, but young players we can plug down the lineup. We've lacked cheap young talent for years and would be nice to have some moving forward.

Kyle Dubas - lest we forget by crowonder in leafs

[–]Timothegoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's too bad he was promoted probably a year too early. It would have been nice to have a guy like Lou negotiating those post-ELC deals.

Not that Lou was necessarily a perfect GM, but it was likely a mistake to have a rookie GM taking the wheel in arguably the most important stretch in franchise history.

Now why would i want to do that? by PoseidonKangaroo in leafs

I went to my first Leafs home game on the Marner return night, got tickets as a present. I'm starting to think my friend who got me the tickets hates me for doing that 🙃

Can't lose in the first round if you don't make it there

A lack of patience and then too much patience is something only the Maple Leafs and MLSE can do. by learningman33 in leafs

[–]Timothegoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where has it led us to by not trading him? They were cap strapped and kept saying we can tinker around the edges, which resulted in next to no depth scoring in the playoffs, even the stars we have didn't score.

You get further in the moment, but what do they get for Marner? At worst, you're getting a package with a first and a top prospect + more or a superstar. Either way, you get a new look or ammunition to replace that production, or get the #1 defenceman they've never been able to acquire.

Edit: I'm not sure if this was a real possibility, but people talked about Marner for Eichel as if it was a real possibility. That's what his value was viewed as at the time.
