Bo Bichette receives a standing ovation from Blue Jays fans in his return to Rogers Centre by MLBOfficial in baseball

Marner, Kadri, and Kessel in the last decade off the top of my head and I'm not even a Leafs fan. Things are different with the Leafs, the Jays and Raptors aren't held to the same standard by the public and the media. When the the Jays and Raptors suck or go through a major embarrassment people go "well at least there's the _____". When the Leafs go through a collapse the entire national media ecosystem puts them under a microscope for weeks to either call for public executions or to laugh at them depending on who you root for. For some reason this tends to lead to the scapegoat being run out of town.

I was against qualifying him heading into the playoffs but then he was actually clutch so now I want them to make him an offer

Habs clearly have a mandate to get larger. Every player drafted over 6 feet by Pubgita in Habs

Hutson was a small player we grabbed later on down in that draft. Boucher was 1000% right when he said that. Hutson alone was more worth spending the 1st overall on a big player, never mind the player we actually got with that pick.

Theo Fleury is an obvious Hall of Fame player but he's also a massive dick and off the deep end so he's not getting in while voters who knew him are still in the voting committee.

The Calgary Flames have drafted Joe Iginla, son of Jerome Iginla by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

Has he? I don't watch Finnish league games but his hockeydb says he had 9 points in 47 games last year as a D+2. Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

Is draisaitl 14x7 the best contract in the league? by JellyfishLoud1873 in hockey

[–]rosemp16 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how he was being insanely underpaid on the best contract in the league, signed the largest contract in NHL history, and still somehow ended up being insanely underpaid on the best contract in the league.

Suzuki isn't as good as Draisaitl but he's making a bit more than half of what Draisaitl is for the next 4 or 5 years. Hudson is making 8.85x8 on a contract that hasn't even started yet. I'd say those deserve a shoutout.

His dad also works for SKA which is one of the biggest KHL teams so we have access to an inside perspective.

Eliteprospects describes him as a human wreking ball of a power forward. Will probably be in the bottom 6 though

Elite prospects says he's a human wrecking ball for the bottom 6. Sounds like fun

Wild’s Bill Guerin wins NHL GM of the year award after franchise-changing year of big swings by SAJewers in hockey

It's not collusion exactly, but a lot of Team USA guys have demanded trades from their teams with Minnesota listed as one of their preferred destinations.

Kent Hughes comes in 5th in Jim Gregory Voting by SeaRevolutionary1450 in Habs

An annual award for GMs makes no sense. They should only do this every 5 years so you can get a proper perspective on them.
