    Bruins Acquire Andrew Peeke

    I mean what's not to like when the sum of a player's career point total and career plus/minus total is (-18)

    I'm OK with Sweeney standing pat this year due to cap and asset constraints, but a sneaky move I'd be OK with would be finding a way to land Tyler Toffoli

    Rumor (conspiracy theory?) around Leafs’ Land is that Parros, since heading up the NHLPA, has handed out the most suspension time to the Leafs, Bruins, and Sharks because these are the arch rivals of teams he has played for - the Ducks and Canadiens. I think the Leafs fans are grasping at straws.

    Check your attic. A Regina, SK family found a crate of unopened hockey cards from Gretzky’s rookie year. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/bidding-mystery-hockey-card-box-tops-2-million-1.7111123

    A right-winger that would cost them no assets and only the base salary would be Phil Kessel. He's not a top-six forward anymore, but he's more likely to put the odd puck in the net than, say, Steen (1 assist in 32 games). Of course, he'd come with a bunch of question marks - is he in shape...

    2/8 B’s v Canucks- Muck with the Canucks 7:00pm

    Surprised that this was only Ullmark's 7th career shutout. Swayman has that many since the start of last season and 12 for his career.

    I was listening to a Darren Dreger interview and he predicted that new expansion fees would be approaching $2 Billion! That seems really high to me. But I guess any number below $2B is "approaching $2B"

    Matt Poitras out 5 months—shoulder surgery

    Poitras took a couple of nasty hits from behind into the boards at the World Juniors in his last game against Germany. I wonder if those hits had anything to do with this injury.

    Changing a username?

    I hadn’t realized there was an apostrophe club, and possibly a space bar club. I’d like to leave the underscore club - those guys just want to emphasize everything! For those reasons, but mainly to honor the banged up patellas of Bobby, Cam and Gord, I’m requesting a handle change to The B’s Knees.

    LeBrun mentioned last week in the Athletic that Nashville wouldn't even entertain 2 first rounders from LA for Saros. They'd want Byfield plus more. And Lebrun isn't Jimmy Murphy. Saros and Ullmark have almost identical contracts and stats, with Ullmark being slightly older. LA has no solid...

    Yeah, Calgary would more likely be looking for some combination of Poitras, Lohrei, Beecher and Lysell since the cupboards are bare with regards to draft picks. I don't think DeBrusk is on the table and Gryz won't return anything of value. Ullmark to the Kings makes some sense (Byfield+ in...

    The most recent comp I can think of where a goalie was traded for a first round pick was during the 2021 offseason. Colorado acquired Darcy Kuemper from Arizona in exchange for Conor Timmins, a first-round pick in 2022 and a conditional third-round pick in 2024. Kuemper was 31 at the time with 1...

    It does seem a bit bizarre. I’m sure there’s a story behind it that we may or may not ever know.

    Odd as it sounds, the Leafs are probably lucky that they don't have any "future star" or at least "very good" RFAs coming due next season (Lilejgren maybe?). I think they'd be hard pressed to match any offer sheets from teams willing to do so (as uncommon as that is these days).

    Rumor has it that the Leafs are close to signing Nylander to a Pasta-like extension of $11M+/yr The core-four (Matthews. Tavares, Nylander, Marner) are eating up 48% of the Leaf's cap space this year. Matthew's new contract kicks in next year as well. Even with an increase in cap space next...
