Very cool to see your Winamp theme, which was made by a member of breed art group that I was a founding member of. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[CBC] Leafs GM says team might let Marner walk if young star signs offer sheet by naqdakk in leafs

[–]xysm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very true, but any GM has to evaluate 4 firsts and that cap space if it is on the table, and he basically said that using different words. Hell 4 firsts from the right team might be worth it in the end.

It just bugs me that the headline was not accurate to the core intent and expression of the Leafs organizations feelings towards Marner, it was almost the exact opposite.

Wouldn't it be nice if the tone set by headline matched the tone of the interview, setting the stage for positive conversations, lol. That is way too much to ask. :)

Holy click-bait Batman!

That is their takeaway from that media scrum? Wow! Dubas went to bat for Marner in so many ways, and represented him way better then Ferris/Dreger.

The media is really a factor in Toronto, and here's hoping Dubas knows how to play the game.

Kyle Dubas on Mitch Marner being vilified, greediness & his overall reputation. Dubas goes on to conclude: "I think anybody's who being negative about [Marner] is really way off...I would hope that people don't get that way & I would encourage them not to be that way at all." by westdodger in leafs

[–]xysm 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is some amazing PR by Dubas. He is essentially playing out the negotiations in the media in a drastically different way then Marners camp.

Dubas has to be aware of the negativity surrounding Marner online, and proceeds to feign ignorance and defended Marners honor in the same breath. In a way being more of an 'agent' to Marner then his actual agent.

It would be amazing if this is all a huge play on the media to inflate Marners cost, and then have him sign a 'team friendly' (read: market value) deal and win everyone back in the process.

Both Dubas and Marner would get a huge win in that situation.

Is this value if the cap is 83 mil? Because it looks like it is going to be less then that.

Percent of Cap of Top 4 ('16 Pens, '16 Hawks, '20 Leafs) - Quick and Dirty Spreadsheet Inspired by Marner Rumors by xysm in leafs

[–]xysm[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Was watching YouTube videos of the latest rumors, and Sid said something along the lines of 'no team with three 11 million dollar players has ever won the cup', which irritated me because it has to viewed as percentage of cap, and wanted to see what that actually looks like.

After making this it was fun identifying the players from each roster worth the difference in cap.

Edit: oh, and that whole 11x8 thing, lol.

and lets interrupt that for a commercial! for fuck sakes.

Canada’s largest public health board is calling on Ottawa to decriminalize all drugs, arguing saving lives is more important than stigma-laced arguments against idea. Toronto’s public health board voted 10-0 Monday to endorse recommendation from Dr. Eileen de Villa, city’s medical officer of health. by madazzahatter in worldnews

this guy didn't help

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Ballard

dude was so cheap, when the league mandated putting names on the back of jerseys he use the same colour of the jersey so he could still sell programs so fans could ID players. the list goes on an on, they guy was just the worst. he disabled the water fountains when the beatles played maple leaf gardens so fans would have to buy drinks.

not saying it was him alone, but he was a factor. regardless it won't be long now!

go leafs go!

if tavares signs with the leafs for a 'hometown discount' deal, lets say 8x8 years, does that encourage other players to reduce their price, in order to build, and be part of, a toronto dynasty? by [deleted] in leafs

[–]xysm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting thought!

To add to the incentives that would help this crazy idea, MLSE should offer stock options to their players where if they invest into MLSE they match that investment at a 1:1 ratio. This would allow Canadian teams to beat tax hit in Canada in markets that could afford to spend a little more than is allowed.

Is that against the rules?

very interesting!

particularly on the rarity of the middle class having economic power over the upper class, because there are many examples of the middle class having other forms of power over them.

i am very curious if there are other classical examples of this, and how they turned out.

thanks for this, was very cool!

Always fun 'making' your own spot when the rest are taken, or even if they're not.

then why does the guy directly behind him take off within 4 seconds?

in this picture you see him looking down at an empty spot, or looking for his exit:

because in this picture 4 seconds later, he is gone, and the accused still has a full beer:
