Crap - hope it's not serious.  He was supposed to be in Kelowna in mid August for an autograph signing at a sports memorabilia store and it was abruptly cancelled with no explanation.  This (health issues) was probably the reason.

They've confirmed it's for the entire season, unfortunately.

 

Its apparently mental health related. Dale having a tough go of things i guess. Hope he pulls through. 

Keller.. 7 x 7.15 

Hes a center tho. 

Connor should get that. 

Laine? I see a trade coming as he wants Matthews money

He hasn't been a centre in the NHL. Regardless, this seems like it should be close to what Connor gets.

Almost the perfect framework for a Connor deal. Connor’s numbers are slightly better. I’d think the Jets would want an 8 year deal.  Mid 7’s seems reasonable.  

Plus talking an extension with Morrissey.

i don’t see Laine being traded but it would sure free up some money. Seems to be some smoke to the Habs rumours with Domi being a player jets wanted previously. 

Domi is a nutbar...not sure he'd be a good "room" fit....

Any source for trading Laine?

Why?

Comrie's staying for two more seasons

1 for sure. That 2nd year is def buyout possibility

After going through the Trouba thing it's almost seems a given if someone don't want to be here if they bridge. We shall see for Laine/KConn.

Sad panda. Was this after Carlson's game last night?

Interesting. Does that leave any RFA years?

2 by my figures.

I could live with a 3 year bridge for Laine. Something like 3x6-6.25.

Keep buying time for Chevy.

Breaking...

🤣

Jets would be better getting Connor on a long term contract.  I would try to sign Laine to 1 year contract to say "Alright.. you want your 10 million, then prove it" cuz he's still an RFA after that.

At any rate, the Jets may need to start adopting a next man up mentality as those two are absent from TC.

 

Friedman says Connor wants long term. Laine wants bridge.

Thats what he thinks for sure. Hes lost a ton of his credibility since moving over to Sportsnet. I think.. I feel.. My thoughts are

Hope they’re not waiting on Connor while Laine negotiates 

Oh my gosh, what's the latest on the Mitch Marner situation? Puke.

I hope to goodness by game 20 of this upcoming season we see the usual 'What's wrong with the Leafs?' headline.

Maybe wanting to do both at the same time...?
