It's not out of the realm of possibilities that they trade away Marner for less than fair value and miss the playoffs without his regular season production. You can't expect Matthews to get them in the playoffs by scoring 60+ goals every season.

Or try turning it into a 2 part trade.

Deal Marner for prospects and picks, but then deal prospects and picks for the kind of guy you want.

Marners security team is going at it with fans on social media.

Between that and his dad, it definitely says a lot about him if this is who are closest to him.

He's definitely getting run out of town this offseason.

Berube and McLellan are the only guys the Leafs have interviewed so far.

Hope it's not McLellan. He's won as many series as Keefe has in the last 10 years.

Outside of the cup year, Berube doesn't have the greatest playoff track record either though.

Berube to be named Leafs coach.

Now we'll see what happens next. I imagine the assistant coaching staff will be gone for the most part. Whoever was in charge of the power play should be fired asap.

Preds trade McDonagh back to the Lightning.

6.75m hit that TB is taking on and only have 5m in cap space after that move. Is Stamkos gone or is he taking an insanely team friendly deal to stay?

As for the Preds, they dumped 6.75m in cap space and now have 26m in cap space while not really having any notable needing to be re-signed. What could their plan be with all that space?

Keefe to NJ

Hearing about Michov coming over from the KHL to play on the Flyers, but the details aren’t clear. I read, and not sure if true, the deal to bring him here is off if he doesn’t skate on our top line. If that’s true, horrible decision to anoint anyone like that let alone a young rookie no matter how skilled (people saying he was neck and neck with Bedard?!)

Not sure what relations are like right now between Russia and the west, I imagine not great. But maybe it’s just a ploy to get him out of there like how guys would defect back in the day.

Who knows, will be keeping an eye on it. Would be sweet to get such a high end talent here but not if there’s stipulations like playing X amount of time. Not sure how the hell they enforce that either besides… well, I wouldn’t want to be his family stuck where they are if things don’t go correctly.
