"We keep losing in the first and second round of the playoffs, It's a good problem to have!"
Adam and Jesse in full denial mode here
Adam and Jessie are hung up on talent, and Steve's looking at it logically. Do you want a team that has all the elite talent and has good regular seasons, or do you want to have a team that has a chance to contend for cup? So far, all this elite talent they have has netted them one playoff series victory. And for what they're being paid, that is not good enough.
No one asked lil bro
@@eClayds33nobody asked for your lame ass reply either
Its the comment section. People are having fun by commenting on a podcastthey enjoy. @eClayds33
@pomerlain8924 I definitely agree with you, I do believe this team will have some more playoff wins but they will never win a cup with this team in my opinion…
@@eClayds33 no one asked you to care bud lol you don’t care about the comment you can go sulk somewhere else.
Bro if i hear "but the cap is going up" one more time im gonna flip. They will never win by spending this amount on this few players
I swear I just left this exact comment on JD bunkis podcast. The cap is only going up so much, Nylander and Matthews are already eating up what the cap is growing to. Then it’ll be marners new deal. This will never end.
And what would you have them do instead? Let Willy walk? Lose a trade like every team trading a superstar does? It's shitty that our stars won't give us an inch on AAV but management did the only thing they could here
@@maruso2221 Dubas was willing to Trade either Mitch or WIllie but hey the big baby Shanny didnt like that. Shanny needs to to go.
Value in Willie is in long term. And he's the most consistent of the 4 core. Marner likely gets to walk at the end of his deal, and there's no way Tavares gets north of 10 after his contract runs out. Fortunately, samsonov became trash, so that could clear up some space and the goalie depth is looking serviceable. So only 1 year of extreme cap crunch next season.
@@judistzoinkiski3395I agree that shanny completely messed up the off-season and needs to go. If we're looking from the tre hiring onwards tho, I just don't know what I do differently considering marner's nmc
One very underrated factor for both the Canucks and Jets are their amazing 3rd lines, with them arguably being two of the best 3rd lines in the league right now. Joshua, Blueger, Garland for the Canucks, and Niederreiter, Lowry, Appleton for the Jets are lines designed to grind and wear down the opposition, and then punish them with high speed counter attacks. Wish the Leafs would build their 3rd line like that, because those are lines that will help win playoff games.
Great, great post. Teams that win the play-off's have 3rd lines constructed like that. The Leafs are built like EA sports team.
The Leafs have spent years losing in the playoffs by overpaying the "core", and they're doubling down , Steve is 100% right and Adam and Jesse seem perfectly happy to win the regular season and that's it
IKR!!! They're hung up on regular season stats. That's all nice and all, but you're paid to win in the spring. Don't care about scoring 100 point or 70 goals. What do they do in the postseason, when it matters? Do they elevate their games to carry this team? So far, it's a big, fat no
What should they have done?? Steve didn’t have answer, what’s yours?
@@pomerlain8924nylander consistently does what you asked. He shows up when it matters
@@ezwelchman Sign and trade. Keep him for the playoffs and do a sign and trade. I know the Tkachuk/Huberdeau trade didn’t work out for the Flames but look at the Dubois trade between the Jets and LA. Jets are leading the league right now.
This is so entertaining watching these guys losing their Shh over a signing that virtually guarantees we get to see Steve quite literally lose his shh while doing his live stream of the Leafs bowing out in round one for the next 6-8 years.
Luv ya Steve, neva change! We know the Leafs won't.
They talk about Vilardi coming is what really propelled the Jets recently. IDK if they know that Kyle Connor has been injured for the past month lol. Were in 1st without having our full top 6 healthy for any significant stretch 😂😂
I love the addition of Vilardi, the way he plays in front of the net, and his hands in tight, etc….
But Adam saying he loves the SPEED he brings is yikes… it was painfully obvious he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
@@TIGHTESTJEANSPART2 yeah. So often I get excited when more National media pays attention to us for positive reasons. Then I remember why no one talks about us to much lol. Vilardi has been great but his strengths have been vision, positioning, board battles, stick skills in tight, quick release, etc. But blazing speed isn’t one of them, hence why ehlers adds so much to that line.
@@TheWailer56 Agreed
Adam is that one guy that has super strong opinions while knowing absolutely nothing about the subject. He has never once watched a Jets or Canucks game and its pretty obvious.@@TIGHTESTJEANSPART2
I’ll believe we’re letting Marner walk when it happens. If I had to guess we’ll be throwing 12.5 at Mitch next season. What makes you think based on the orgs actions so far they’ll let that happen?
Adam said Matthews will be here "as long as their winning"! What regular season games?! 😂
Adam forgot what happened to Boston in R1. They were winners too then got absolutely clowned by that reverse sweep.
@@RandomGuyCDN Because has only one or two lines
What have they won?
Nylander making 13 million for 7 years in free agency is CRAZY TALK, Adam
He must be confused because in the same sentence he said he’s worth market value at 11. Which one is it? 11 or 13..Can’t have it both ways Adam.
@@Herrlorddonkoenigczar He also said at one point Willy got signed for under 11. Guy is confused
@@Herrlorddonkoenigczar Market value if he was signing with his own team. Free agency comes with an inflated price tag for star players more often than not. Also he is probably basing 13 off of the fact that Marner was offered 13 from Columbus when he was an RFA.
@@Herrlorddonkoenigczar Market value at $11 for 8 years or $13 million for 7... I cant believe I have to spell that out to you. Adam even said exactly that.
tavares was offered 13 5 yeara ago, and nylander is bettwr than tavares and cap is going up a lot the next few years
Adam. Nobody thought Nylander couldn’t hit this level. Anyone who watched him knew this level was attainable. But he clearly didn’t give his all in a lot of games. Motivation was always a issue for him and If he went into every year thinking it’s a contract year he could have had these points 1-3 years ago. He’s always had the God given talent, but showing it every night has only happened this year. So why give a guy with motivational issues a 8 year contract. He won’t have to work like he has been again.
I don't think it was motivation. Started wearing the tinted visor because of migraines and has the best season of his career followed by an even better one.
I hope not…. But I think he slows his game down now that he signed and he’ll go back to being old Willy. I know having a contract year is a thing and he def took advantage as he should… but we all saw his habits of not trying his best. Hope I’m wrong
Amen evin, you see it, I see it, many people see it evin. But evin, they don't see it. They just don't see it evin.
@@JbblesHe admitted he has motivation issues himself lmao. Wtf you on?
I remember Marner's free agency and how people were saying that he would get XX paid by another team if the Leafs don't pay him and that ones Marner signs, his contract will set the bar for every other FA winger. The Leafs paid handsomely and no other player signed for anything close to what Marner got.
I feel like this is a similar situation.
And for a guy who was an RFA, not a UFA. He was paid like he was McDavid.
@@pomerlain8924 He was paid like the cap will be $100 million within 4 or 5 years
@@mikehillproject that's called gambling. We shouldn't like it when the org gambles instead of just making solid decisions that hold up regardless of theoretical cap changes
@@plushie946 Gambling? It has been projected the cap will be at $100 million in 4 or 5 years. Even the Hockey Guy is saying that. In this business nothing is a safe play. Players get hurt, etc. There are a whole host of mitigating factors but you cannot build a winning team if you're scared to make a move, you have to be bold.
@@mikehillprojectWhile not getting max term. If Marner, Mathews and Willy all signed the same deals for 8 years, I never say a word.
I’m with Steve on this one. Adam and Jesse are trying to have it both ways and you just cant. Just look at what’s happening in Calgary, a team that Tree just left in shambles after signing a big name player to a big money contract. That same guy along with Shanny, who clearly is just sticking with the plan that Dubas made up, are going to just not miss on depth pieces? Like good for Willy for getting the bag but come on now.
Dubas was atleast willing to see what he could get for Mitch/Willie but yeah ignoring that rightYIKES
I believe this team will win some rounds but they won’t win a cup in my opinion they do not have a Top 4 RD that is very good or elite and it’s rare a team wins without a super solid RD, They have to many players making to much money and if JT walks good luck getting a second line Center that can produce and play a 2 way game like JT for anything less than 7 million, Marner is going to get 11 million when his deal is up or he’s going to walk I don’t believe he will waive to be traded, They won’t have enough money for an elite or great goaltender and with their defence they are going to need a goalie that can play really good to make up for the defensive issues in the playoffs, They will also not have enough money for solid depth pieces to keep on the team long enough where they can get chemistry with each other… so in my opinion this team will not win a cup, They got out of the rebuild way to fast and they sold to many prospects way to fast along with picks… Dubas signed these players with the intention that the cap would have increased which you have to take that into consideration he couldn’t predict Covid but still it did not work for them… If Toronto was smart they should have let Nylander walk, He’s not the best player on this roster I’m sorry but he’s not going to be a consistent 100+ point player this is a career year he’s a 40-45 goal 90 point player in my opinion at best, I could be wrong but I think this is the best year he will have, he’s gonna get the bag and get comfortable… I’m not a leafs fan I’m a Habs fan but my brother is a leafs fan and I feel bad for you guys, If you have Matthews and Marner that’s good enough to build with other players that don’t cost more than 8 million in the top 6 WITH winning habits….
@@judistzoinkiski3395i honestly didn’t believe Dubas when he said that, idk if he didn’t do it in the prior playoff failures who knows if he actually would’ve done it
Please never say Shanahan is going by dubas' plan. Dubas literally didn't get resigned(left) because he wanted full control(no more Shanahan having a say). Dubas was 100% willing to trade willy or mitch. Shanahan wasn't, that's why we are here now, with 4 forwards making 10+
In all of december, the jets let in 3 goals in only 1 game (against montreal) and they still got a point in the game cuz it was in overtime. They have been soooo good
Sweet Jesus thank you for providing coverage on the Jets, God knows that no other sports outlets are talking about the best team in the league
Nylander is definitely a great player and he got max $$, max term and max no move clause. What part of this negotiation did the team win?
The part where they kept the player while they negotiated against what-ifs and future cap space. It's like celebrating a goalie goal but the goalie puts it into his own net..
Great players have trophies
Willie got paid 4 nothing
Nylander 2 years at/over point per game = 11.5 million 😂
When is the first watch PWHL Toronto with Steve? it would be awesome
Why is it so hard for gms to understand. Trade when players are on their peaks and sign long term to players on a low. Value contacts win cups, expensive talent doesn't.
$46,653,000 on 4 players next season. That is insane.
and some 21 mil next year to fill out the rest of the team.
Truly insane
"but enough about zach hyman"
oof
I am having just the best time following the PWHL so far. Thanks for keeping it a topic of conversation on the show/network!
Congrats on 100k subs boys 🍻(preemptively)
The leafs have 4 of the top 10 AAV contracts in the NHL.... got past the first round once. LOL
I wouldnt even classify that as a 2nd round appearance, the stole a game and but got rolled the rest of the games
Interesting thing about focusing on high-value players. The Jets moved Dubois and got 4 pieces back. One was a pick and one has been injured but it improved their depth and now they're the top team in the league because everyone one of their lines can do damage. If the top two lines aren't scoring, the bottom two are. You can't have 4 forwards plus Reilly plus a bunch of scrubs and no goaltending and expect to do anything in this league.
"You gotta have guys in the line up to always keep pushing the other guys"
This is why having MadDog in the back is so smart to keep you three pushing good content.
Jesse should get Blake and #55 on a Leafs jersey as that was Jason Blake's jersey number with the leafs.
I can't believe im actually agreeing with Steve lol. Yes, this is the leafs doubling, tripling, quadrupaling down on players that'll only help in the regular season.
Depth is what takes you far in the post season.
Steve preaches "NHL is a copycat league, teams will always try to copy the recent winner of the cup" Maybe Steve needs to kidnap Larry Tenebaum and tell him about this copy cat thing because it seems like the whole leafs org doesnt care about cups
It's stars AND depth that takes you far in the postseason. Most teams can do that because their stars don't demand every penny they can get their claws on
No, goaltending is.
I love hearing pucks hitting Martin Jones. Just a loud thump with no movement or panic. He simply stops pucks. Period. He's our number one goalie now. No question about it. Woll will be the backup when he comes back.
I think its crazy you guys think 38 games this season added over 16 million dollars to willies contract , it was always this number because thats what willie wanted
No shot. If he doesn't play this well he doesn't have the leverage to get the deal. He waited to sign to prove he deserves the money. If he doesn't play as well as he has this year he is getting less money.
@@greatestgameonearth nit as a Ufa xD
You just paid William Nylander $2M more than Nikita Kucherov. Take a bow, Leafs.
That’s not valid. It relative to the market at the time, which isn’t fair I know. Pettersson about to be getting McDavid money so yeah, this league with it’s cap and it’s elite players demanding overpayment is pretty messed up
Lol, I didn't think of this til you guys started talking about jersey numbers in contracts... 92 was Michael Nylander's number.
As a Finn I agree with it being a good thing other countries get a crack in the world series games at the top 3/winning. It has such a huge impact in promoting the sport to the youth and developing more professional players down the line in those countries
Another point, that is not talked about a lot is having this structure of some high priced superstars may not be great for playoff success, but probably great for revenues from all kinds of trinkets, and growing the fanbase (e.g. in Sweden) even more as it is now.
as a guy whos not a leafs fan THANK YOU for the timestamps love the crew just not my team😂
“I don’t like seeing Latvia show up and get blow out every game. I like seeing a competitive Germany team” Steve Latvia beat Germany this year
My issue with the “Jailbreak” rule is that it straight up gives teams the chance of negating the consequences of a penalty. If you’re giving teams any out for “accidentally” roughing the other guy up (like idk cross-checking Zadina in the back since it’s known he’s got lingering back issues), that’s a dangerous precedent.
The very possibility of negating the penalty for a penalty can and will make the game more dangerous.
... so how has Boston managed to get so many of their players at a discount? I don't think it's fair to say you "can't win" UFA.
Boston players arent divas looking for the $$. They're playing hockey to win the cup. Leafs players only care about the $$.
Just dawned on me when they were talking jersey numbers in contracts that 92 is literally his dad's number when he played in the NHL
Hey guys,
Loving all the work you put in and content you’re putting out.
Would really like to see more in the community get the subs up
Let’s go guys, they deserve it!!
So doubling down on the Core 4. This should be fun.
Oh man, I miss Watch a Leafs game with Stove Dingle, except for those two times when it was watch an oilers game and watch a habs game instead.
I think markers defense and chemistry with matthews is underestimated and will be missed dearly if they need to move him. If they do move him they hav to go for a too Dman like top pairing possible#1. Can’t just let him walk
I feel like Adam and Jessie are always flip flopping about the core 4. Right now, they talk about them like they're all world players but when they suffer another 1st exit, all of a sudden they need to go.
Adam’s job is to drive conversation, and he’s great at it
@@christanzola8633 Sure but that has nothing to do with my comment.
@@Chimeratech8 just meant that I don’t always expect him to be consistent
You have to ask what the Leafs have won with the big four or five? To me this means Marner has to go at some point and Taveras gone after next year. then build around Mathews and Nylander.
What is bonkers about the Nylander contract is the full no-move. I have no problem with signing players for big numbers if you can turn around and trade them.
1:04:00 ... Pettersson never said he wasn't going to sign with the Canucks and the Canucks never said they weren't going to sign Pettersson.
Pettersson said he want to win and the Canucks said they wanted players who were excited to play here. In other words, the Canucks wanted to win to keep Pettersson happy, which means they were not going to rebuild.
Outside of matthews nylander is the leaf I'd want most on the team come playoffs, need to trade 1 of the other stars for roster balance
I just noticed one thing. How come Nylander is on pace for 120 points and he is only +5?
Because he has 19 points on the PP which does not award a +
2024: The Year of Steve's Bossman "Get me COFFEE" Phase
Leafs have 12 players signed for next year. Projected cap space is $87.5 million. The core 4 is going to be making $46.65million. The other 8 players are combined $19.85 million
The Leafs are going to have to sign/bring up 10-11 players for only $21million.
UFA: Bertuzzi, Domi, Brodie, Gio, Lagesson, Muzzin, Klingberg, Jones, Samsonov, Murray
RFA: Robertson, Gregor, Benoit, Liljegren
Next year's RFA - Woll and Hildeby
Long term meternoy leafs
Muzzin, Klingberg, Murray and maybe Samsonov they'll just let walk.....the three first are injured.
Gio might retire.
Ideally they would like to re-sign the rest of the UFAs at the number they are now maybe with a slight raise...or in Brodies case less.
RFAs would ideally be re-signed at their current number but maybe Benoit an Liljegren need raises.
As to say on this episode, good job. Players need paid. Yet I understand Steve's frustration. We all see how it is. In the 90' teams told players walk, or trade them ( their problem to sign'em now). An now it seems like teams are on the ropes, but your analysis of the leafs cap is spot on. They don't want loose these guys, both frustrating and understandable.
Sweet end trip
High on the turn buckle contact
1:27:02 Ehhhh that's not necessarily fair Jesse. the Owner of the Sens wasnt "gotten rid of" he died. Melnyk's head was being called for before he died (i lived in Ottawa at the time and oh boy did hockey fans want him gone. so much so some were happy when they heard he died) but he wasnt moving cause I think the NHL doesnt want the headache of owners changing.
canucks have like 5 ufa/rfa that have been playing really well that I want resigned but that oel buy out is going to hurt. Luckily myers 6mil contract is up and cap is going up so im not worried.
i won't stop mentioning god damn Klingberg. Imagine Luke Schenn instead of him. Even Schenn at 3mill is still 1.15 mill less than Klinger. He would have been a trash signing at 2mill.
Schenn wasn't about the cap hit it was about the term. Keep fuming about someone that doesn't count towards the cap all you want. no one cares.
Thanks@@Jbbles they're gonna spend assets to get exactly what Schenn would have provided. Wouldn't have needed Reaves either if there was a guy on the team with a set of nuts.
It was wild seeing Jesse and Adam perform mental gymnastics to get around Steve's main point.
We've heard the story before. They don't have cap space because they've locked it all up and four guys who continuously fail to produce
And Steve makes an absolutely legit point that having kneelander at this price. It's continuing doing the same thing over and over again
I'm with Steve 100%. And it was kind of a bummer to see the other guys ignore the real problem
Cousins needs a visit from the Trouba Train Express
13:00 ... You don't need elite players in the NHL to win. You need an elite centre and an elite winger, an elite defenceman, and an elite goalie.
Toronto has two of those and less than zero money to get the other two.
It’s going to be hilarious when Boston brings on Myers for the playoff push because Vancouver needs to cut cap to add.
Willy getting 13 million lol. Adam his best season is 86 points. 13 is the second highest player in the league and he’s below a point per game
My mother got a retirement gift, a Leafs jersey with our lastname and the number 33 which was how many years she worked... Is that ok Jesse?
If she's framing it and never wearing it again.
@@RandomGuyCDN she doesn't wear it... I mean she probably would if she were to attend a Leafs game... But she also is a Life long Leafs fan, she babysat Tim Horton's kids a few times as a teenager, oh and she was a Teacher and the time of her retirement the Teachers Union of Ontario were majority owners of the Leafs... She earned her name plate...
I agree with Steve on this one. Jesse and Adam are straight up caught up in just individual talent or “in a vacuum”…. Except this team isn’t in a vacuum. They haven’t accomplished anything in the playoffs yet they are doubling down on the same team with the same structure. A team that we all agreed back in June couldn’t remain the same. Willy is good but I think they should have traded him or let him walk and have this year be the year they go for it. If they get far…. Great! If not, then they make changes anyway. Now they can’t make changes because everyone with some value has trade protection. Can’t blame fans for not being ecstatic about having more of the same that we’ve had the past half decade.
Nylander has a Modified NTC until June 30th and now has a guaranteed 8 year contract for potentials...
Over 50% of next years cap is going to 4 players. This is why they have no depth. 50% and not a single one is goaltender or defenseman.
The Leafs have the best goaltending in the league if you don’t count Sammy 🤷🏻♂️
@@ezwelchman Jones gets hot and falls off a cliff.
@@BoyNamedSue4 the Leafs just avoided giving the 2 worst goalies in the league multiple year deals. And everybody still wants them to go pay a goalie. There are 5 goalies in this league I’d be interested in acquiring. And none of them are available.
100% agree with Jesse that this is a move the Leafs have to make.
Also 100% agree with Steve that this team construction is unlikely to work. Look at the last 5 Cup winners, and they all had contributions from up and down the lineup. Just don't see that happening until the Leafs can reallocate JTs money to a couple dmen and a decent C replacement.
Question for Adem & Jesse: What Cup winning team would you compare this Leafs team to for this year and next?
ONLY in Toronto do they CELEBRATE overpaying a(nother) guy who has done Jack Shyte - Nylander "performs" ONLY when its contract season - PERIOD - what the F have you (ever) done for me lately Willie-Boy ? - can I see that string of Stanley's to PROVE you are worth anything more than 5 million a season - NO ? - point taken
Looks like you better consider the President's Cup as Stanley, now and for the next 8 years.
Had Marty not played that puck in San Jose, would have even a shutout, I thought it was a goal as soon as he dropped that puck
Of all the goofy voices and characters that Steve does, nothing is funnier , or more spot-on, than his Ken Daneyko impression. For the love of god, find a way to talk about the Devils again so we can all bask in the glory of Steve's Daneyko voice.
To Simplify:
Cap $87.5MM
Core 5 - ($54.15MM)
Remaining Cap Space $33.35 for 18 roster spots ($1.85MM per player)
57:14 Who's the guy they kept over Lafferty? 4 games of Fraser Mintin. So worth it.
ANYTHING on the Winter Classic on Wednesday? Please?
Still picking My Team for the PWHL! I assume you guys are all Toronto or bust? You could always go for Montreal or Ottawa! (I kid, I kid. I have spent 40+ years hating New York sports teams and I'm not stopping now 😂)
Nylander litterally stole the Leafs 2M$ worth of cap hit in like 6 months 😂😂 Willy is good but he aint worth 11.5M$
Not even close. It’s great he’s staying, he’s a great player but not defensively sound, had games where he was his lazy floater self this year and for that kind of money he CANNOT have those games anymore
For Jesse's take on jerseys, what if someone gets you a jersey with your name on it as a gift? Is that still cut?
If someone knew you well enough they'd know who to get on a jersey and know that getting your own name on a jersey is kinda weird.
Filip Hronek, I drated him with my second to last pick in my fantasy league
Rick’s coached a Stanley Cup team in 2020. Maybe 2nd time is the charm. Steve’s head is right. “Whaddya do?” Up against the cap, no depth, no Cup.
92 is 29 backwards which is his old number so he sorta has his number in the contract
Normally I would say this is a bad deal but Nylander is actually good enough that I think they had to sign him. They have to make a big move or two in the offseason though because they can't carry all that money into next year.
There are no moves that can be made. Tavares has a full NMC. Marner's full NMC kicked in July 1. So he's going to be playing out the final year of his contract next year, with that hefty cap hit. Moves needed to be made before July 1 of last year before the NMCs kicked in. Now they're stuck. Marner is the only guy who they can possibly move on from, and that's by simply letting him walk in free agency after next season.
LFR is gonna be wild if Nylander doesn’t record a five point night
In reality, this contract means the Leafs will forever be insufficient on D. Just signing 1 year deals for less than 3 million, just journeymen D.
Play for free
8 years no cup
The cap will be at $100 million in about 4 years Buds they can address the D starting next season
Or they use the 11 million Tavares makes to sign defencemen?? Or the money they pay Brodie, or Samsonov. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
@@ezwelchman People are so short-sighted its hard to call them hockey fans.
@mikehillproject you won how many rounds in how many years??? Also you are forgetting that in those years players will need raises... lmfao
AM MM and WN have all consistently chosen an extra few million over giving the city a real shot at winning for the first time in fifty years. I hope it's been worth it
Adam saying that people need to move on from Klingberg is hilarious because if Ottawa, Montreal or Buffalo signed him, we would never hear the end of it
Mitch for two five million dollar D-Men might be a cup team.
I think the reason why Jones can play back to backs is because he barely moves in net and it's beautiful.
As a Sens fan the Giroux contract is the best signing the Sens made in probably a decade
It's so fun to watch Leafs overpay!
If you have too many good players, it's indeed a good problem. You have 2 options in that situation: sign 'em or trade 'em.
At this point, Leafs need to trade one.
More than one.
they all have no trade clauses
core 4 and no draft picks or good prospect pool. Willy is a leaf FOREVER but the lafs are dead FOREVER
@@hockeyfan7100one big boy
The 3,2,1 point system is cool, and i like it. The score a goal and the penalty is over is kind of weird. It gives a reward to the team who took the penalty, and it may make penalties in general less of negative to have, which could potentially lead to increased violence.
I'd like to see a league get rid of icings being allowed for the team who is penalized.
that icing thing is stupid because then you really slow down the games and no one wants to spend an NFL or NCAA amount of time because we have more stupid icing stoppages.
@@RandomGuyCDNI get it but what if u had to clear the blue line or the circle instead of center for pk? It incentivizes trying to hold it a bit longer helping offense cause it means the pk can get a change
@@RandomGuyCDN I get your point then players would just fire the puck down the ice and take the icing anyways...
Then maybe get rid of allowing icing but maybe if defending team ices the puck more than once without a proper clear they get a second penalty for delay of game?
There are ways to stop players from constantly icing the puck. I'm just tired of a penalized team being allowed to have a different set of rules than the one on the power play.
I'm all for good hits and clean hockey but this mickey mouse stuff needs to stop. Making it harder for penalized players to defend would lead to teams prioritizing a lack of penalties and maybe the league will see a decrease in penalties taken.
Hopefully with reduced penalties all around the league, maybe it will lead to referees being able to actually ref the game instead of game management.
Another big problem in the league is the refs not actually calling infractions, they call the calls that are convenient for them for game management and let the rest go. I would say each team could easily have 20 penalties per game with the amount that just isn't called.
57:00 ... Reaves! The Leafs traded Lafferty to the Canucks for a fifth, because they needed the cap space for Ryan Reaves.
Well, maybe we pull a lightning next year and we put Tavares on a one year LTIR… load up for playoffs and go on a run
As a Canadiens fan, I'm happy to see that Toronto won't win the Stanley Cup for the next few years. How can 4 players have more than 60% of the payroll? I now think we'll have a better chance with a core like Suzuki and Caulfield at 7.9m and Matheson under 6m. In addition we potentially have 4 very good defenders coming in Hudson, Reinbacher Mailloux and Enstrom. :)
If Rogers was sponsoring a beer league team, their cap strategy is perfect, because beer doesn’t count against the cap.
Steve dangle, meet Joey swoll. Gym positive guy. Great content
‘But enough about Zach Hyman’ 🥇
It's a cold day in hell because I agree with Steve on this one. 😆🥶
"The Leafs have pinpointed his next contract between 11 and 13 millions."
Wow, and he's making it sound like a good thing.
Why would you trade a good player for 2 lesser quality players like Steve suggests? Didn't the Leafs try that with Kadri and they got their asses handed to them in that trade. They never learn.
Galaxy brain moment is signing this deal with Nylander and then trading him at the deadline
Full nmc not going to happen
@@richardszumilas2828 ya but unless I'm wrong that full nmc doesn't kick in until July 1st when his new contract starts right now he has a modified NTC
@@PengWinRUclips modified NTC, which team do you think he would go to that would have either the cap space or the picks/prospects for that? I’m not a fan of the amount he signed for but I still think it was better than letting him walk/lose any trade
@@richardszumilas2828 ya sure that's kinda why I'm calling it galaxy brain because to pull it off would require one
I just wanted to let you guys know, as an AZ fan, you definitely do NOT want dumba. As the “most expensive dman” on a pretty mediocre d-core in AZ, he is a standout of really bad
In a vacuum, you have to sign this contract as the Leafs. But because nothing happens in a vacuum, I understand Steve’s unhappiness because that much money tied up in so few players means that you can’t ice a cup-winning team.
Said this in Steve video on the new contract but are theres signing bonus for players can't NHL teams do contract insensitive like lower ya contract to 9.5 per year but if you reach 80points per season for a 8 year's pay u a extra 1 million cause I don't see a difference between that and a signing bonus for every 80 + points a sesson he gets a bonus of 1 million at end of the season or whrn he or the player hits 80 points that season for the next 8 year's they can get paid a extra 8 million on top of the 9.5 for 8 years per season
No, NHL teams usually cannot do have incentive/performance bonuses in player contracts except for the following according to Puckpedia: Only certain players are eligible for performance bonuses in their contract:
-Entry-Level Contract Players
-Players that are 35 years or older and sign a 1 year contract
-Players with a minimum of 400 NHL Games Played signing a 1 year contract after having a long-term injury. A long-term injury is defined as a player on Injured Reserve for a minimum of 100 days in the last year.
While performance bonuses count against the salary cap, teams are permitted to exceed the salary cap due to performance bonuses, to a maximum of 7.5% of the Salary Cap.
