Title Player Jason Chimera - Tie him to new Leaf Ryan O'Reilly

Chimera -> 09-10 Blue Jackets Jan Hejda -> 11-15 Avalanche Ryan O'Reilly

News

1. Ryan O'Reilly trade to Leafs

Leafs paid out 2023 1st, 3rd, 2024 2nd, 2025 4th for rental of O'Reilly and Noel Acciari - damn!

What do you think? Too much? Worth it?

1. In Tarasenko and O'Reilly trades - (2 players going to UFA in summer) Blues have received:

2 1st round picks in 2023, 3rd round pick in 2023, 2nd round pick and 4th round pick in 2024

Smart way to rebuild without tearing it right down?

1. Shea Weber traded again! To Arizona, where old contracts go to die.

Joins Andrew Ladd and Bryan Little

Total $18,648,810 on Injured Reserve

With that, their cap hit is $66,459,719 - they are actually paying $49MM in active players and $11,750,000 on IR

Floor is $61,000,000

Trade Bait - Timo Meier, Chychrun, Karlsson

Would you like the Leafs to do more?

What will Oilers do? - Is Karlsson realistic?

McDavid hits 800 pts (545 gp) and Draisaitl 700 on the same goal.

5th fastest in history - behind

Gretzky (352 - wtf?), Lemieux (410), Bossy (525), Stastny (531)

Gary Bettman on tanking:

“Nobody tanks because we have a weighted lottery," 

"You’re not going to lose games to increase your odds by a couple of percentage points. That’s silly. And frankly, suggesting tanking, I believe, is inconsistent with the professionalism that our players and our coaches have. Nobody tanks."
