My 13 year old son has been sick for 29 days post covid
Chills/fever, bad cough
Saw doctor at day 11 who gave him a puffer ffs
Led to nausea/vomiting, cramps
Now, every time he eats he gets nauseous
Spent 5 hrs in emergency yesterday doing tests
Missed school again today
Hockey has been a struggle

And hard no to Crosby if it involves Knies.....Robertson, sure! Cowan, maybe.

Knies, Matthews, Domi
Patches/McMann, Tavares, Nylander
McMann/A. Nylander, Crosby, Marner


Kinda yummy.....if A.Nylander progresses.

It’s looking that way to me, but they don’t consider that until 3 months

Hopefully whatever it is decides to leave the little man alone so he can get back out on the ice.

#16 Marner from the Stadium Series in Maryland. The one that's white with two horizontal blue bands. It's (frank)ing sick. I'm gonna wear it for my first outdoor skate and/or shinny tomorrow.

Cirelli is on a heater. Bolts are glad nobody took me up on my offer to trade him for Robertson. 😂

Matthews is pretty good at hitting balls. It seems like there is some crossover with the skills involved - hand eye coordination hitting small objects with sticks. I suck at both terribly.

I bet AM is one of those guys that's just annoyingly good at any sport, especially involving a projectile.

Well actually its all of it, as they have more cap space now then 3 years ago, to properly build out the D...at least in the short term.
Also, they havent won anything yet, so lets not get ahead of ourselves....but ive liked what ive seen

Crosby for knies, cowan and next years 1st.
Im sure dubie would want more amd there have to be cap goimg somewhere but would you do it?

- Fakepartofme


that would be a tough one. but how do you say no?
also I just picked up a Crosby YG rookie...so why the hell not

you also get him for 3 playoff runs..

hopefully that leaves enough to add Mcdavid still

There is a little bit of that - just in that the recurring narrative that the Leafs have to move one member of the core4 in order to improve the D - but that said there have been financial movements that aided it.

If you think about it objectively, Muzzin just came off the books - and while he was in LTIR, it's hampering. Brodie's $5m contract in 2020 dollars just ended and we signed Tanev for less @ $4.5m on a noticeably risen cap. The emergence of Knies and Woll have allowed us a few million in savings as well and this was able to be directed into a solid supporting guy like OEL and when considered with the retained salary of McCabe (@ 50%), there are a lot of financial moves that have helped put together a better D-line.

All of that said, one truth does remain in that if we could get a real #1 stud defenseman (of which there are very, very few and even fewer who are of prime age) then a core-4 member would have to go to move around that type of capital. Since it's exceptionally rare that one is available . . . this is probably as good as the D-line has been since the 90s and certainly in the Matthews-era.

Funny just to get a sense of how good the D-lines were pre-cap . . .I was reminded that even then our 5/6 d-pairings were not very good! Like Lumme-Cross or Pilar-Cross . . .
