I don't think either are coming back. They have Rielly, Holl, Lilljegren, Sandin signed and Dermott is RFA with 13 million in cap.
A trade for 1 more Dman will likely happen.

Leaf fans hear every year LLeafs are doomed and everyome is leaving. No worry here.
Liljegren and Sandin have played in the AHL all season and both are 5’-11” 185 lbs. Are you replacing two cagey vets with those two?

Against the florida Panthers with Home ice advantage? HAHA. Leaves are getting lucky this year.

Oh and don't expect Auston Matthews chained to the bench in a game 7 with Keefe in charge.
You seem confused. They will likely be on the road starting in Tampa.
NO DOUBT

Liljegren and Sandin are two of the very best and elite prospects in the AHL. Sandin might be in the NHl this week. Brilliant trade down and draft by Dubas in getting him.
Muzzin is too old and slow to keep. Not surew hat "Cagey Vets" mean. Looks like it mean overpaid to me.

I just hope Rogers doesn't damage the game too much by the time this money pit rights contract is up.
Yes because if they showed the Jets more they'd make a huge profit...

Rogers paid too much. That has nothing to do with the leaves. Dumping the leaves only drops revenues more.

Increase Leaves coverage --> revenues drop --> close regional offices, double down on Leaves coverage --> revenues drop more.

That's the problem with basing a business model on a fickle, fairweather fanbase like Toronto.

duh, so are the Leaves?
Blob's point (that I agreed with) was that your dirty Leaves will NOT be facing "Panthers with Home ice advantage"...

A 3rd first round exit in a row for Toronto, does Dubas get fired? Somebody has to pay! Shanahan?

When have you ever shown ALL stats? When have you ever shown UP to argue for your stats after a loss... or two, or three?

Wouldn't that be a 4th straight first round exit in a row?

From 2005 to 2015... 1 single playoff appearance. The Laffs from the 80's under Harold Ballard were better.

5 generations and counting Hank. Never out of the first round (sorry those ottawa wins dont count) 8-)

This explains why he goes trolling on a canucks board. Anyone closer to Toronto would just laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh....and then laugh some more!
