How much that Solei run you?

There's some fights on TSN2 right now, nothing special, but in case your looking for some sports to watch.

Leafs draft Nicolas Abruzzese 124th overall.

Leafs draft Mikhail Abramov at 115th overall.

Leafs draft Mikko Kokkonen 84th overall. Love the name.

Avs draft Alex Beaucage at 78th overall.

For a bag of pucks, salary dump city.

I suppose, the Avs do have another third rounder, perhaps they should have taken him then or waited until the fourth.

Avs take Matthew Steinberg at 63.

Yeah makes sense in their situation, for sure.

Yzerman seems to agree, picked three defensemen in this draft in four picks.

Leafs take Nicolas Robertson at 53rd overall.

Avs take Drew Helleson of the USNTDP at 47th overall. Not sure the Avs need defense at this point, but if you're going to take one, he's a good option.

Kaliyev goes 33rd overall to the Kings, Ottawa idiotically passes on him at 32.

Leafs dump Marleau to the Buncha Jerks, had to give up a conditional 2020 first rounder and swap a seventh round pick for a sixth round pick to do it. The condition is if it's a top 10 pick in 2020, then it's 2021 first rounder instead.

Bahaha, Preds get jack sh*t for Subban just to dump salary, fleece city by Jersey.

If the Leafs get off to a slow start, that could provide the excuse to finally fire him, better than wasting another year on him heading into the playoffs and giving him one more shot that he doesn't deserve. Better to fire him and hope to bring in someone mid-season who can pull off the Berube effect. St. Louis knows.

There's this idiotic theory going around that you can't win if you pay anyone 10 million plus, because no team who has won a cup has paid anyone that much when they won. The media is pretending paying your superstars that much spells doom, and without them taking a team friendly discount you can't win the cup, it's next level retarded. You lose by overpaying good role players, not paying superstars market value, but that doesn't stop the media from pretending otherwise.

Exactly $11.5 million is Kucherov money in Toronto, if the media doesn't like it, try blaming Ontario taxes instead of pretending it's an overpay that dooms the team.

Indeed, the media will bitch about overpaying, but have the balls to take the media bullsh*t, because if you pull another Nylander, they are going to tear you apart, and rightfully so if you go down that road. There is no winning with those media f*gs, unless you accomplish the impossible, so no point in trying.

I don't see an offer sheet coming, because no one offer sheets anyone anymore, for fear of retribution and the good ol' boys dynamic of the NHL. But yeah the sooner they sign him the better.

Yeah if you go out and sign Tavares, then the eternal patience thing should go out the window, it's win now time, gotta make some moves ieady.

Passed them and still have cap flexibility at least in the short term. Long term cap issues due to having to pay superstars in a few years being the worst of their problems, that says it all about how far they've come since that 48 point season. Gentleman Joe has done a fantastic job, Two Phones not so much.

Well right now, the Avs have more cap space than anyone, but that certainly won't last forever, they need to plan ahead accordingly.
