Thanks for the consistent videos throughout the summer, watching has slowly become a nightly routine 👌

[jakericcifit]

I personally wouldn’t get rid of Reavo. I really liked the physicality he brought in the regular season and the playoffs. Plus he is a Berube type player. I think he’ll stay this season as long as he doesn’t catch too many dashes. I wouldn’t worry much about our 4th line which should be a solid checking line. Our 3rd line on the other hand needs work. We need a Ross Colton type player for our 3rd line. A guy who brings scoring depth while also bringing physicality.

Sid's doing what Bergeron did and will probably go year to year. Normal stuff for a player his age. Sid trade rumors are tiresome nonsense

[peterlue]

These writers do not watch games apparently. Reaves was awful at the beginning of the year because he was out of shape. when he got in shape he DOMINATED ZONE TIME. He carried the 4th line and could have been an effective player on the first line in place of Bertuzzi who was useless. Robertson scored 14 goals in 50is games on the 3rd and 4th line while Knies had 15 goals playing 80 Games on the top 2 lines. Liljegren had 23 points in 55 games as a 25-year-old not playing on the top PP. Toronto media and fans have zero perspective. That is a 35-point pace while injured for a bulk of the year. Where does that stand in the league? Giving away guys who can score and filling our roster with players like Benoit who have no hope of driving offense and then complaining when we can't score is why this team always sucks. Sadly, they get their way and blame everything but themselves when we have 57 years of useless stupidity.

If Pitt doesn't trade Crosby they will just turn into the early 2010s Redwings. Holding onto the hope of playoffs but they have no chance of winning the cup. Trade the vets with 50% retained and they'll get 5 1sts as a minimum

[mariovaccarella]

Great Video, as usual, Mike. I want everyone to say it along with me, Patrik Laine to The Rangers. LOL

[stephenkoller]

I have two differences of opinion re. the Leafs....1) Who's gonna replace Ryan Reaves? Like, nobody. It won't be because someone is 'outplaying' him in camp. He should be used sparingly and judiciously...he still provides much-needed security and confidence. 2) Why is Robertson not a 'fit'? I think you're being hasty. He should be given a real chance - we need secondary scoring, and that's his thang. Sign him and hopefully he'll thrive under Berube.

Dekeyser had a PTO in Van 2 seasons ago and it did not go well

[DiasBenes]

This guy doesn't understand LTIR rules. Any player that retires early or in injured can be put on LTIR. But those contracts actually factor into cap calculations. A team still has to be under the cap at the start of the season. Only then can a team then put a player on LTIR. So teams are effected when they try to get free agents since teams cannot put player contracts on LTIR until after the season starts. Its not free cap space. You still have to have that be part of the cap space. LTIR contracts is basically dead money, you can't do anything with it.

When Las Vegas traded for Weber's LTIR contract, they expected to be able to use it but found they couldn't since 1) They had to be part of the cap total when the season cap was calculated. 2) You don't accrue cap space during the season if your under LTIR. Last season Montreal didn't put Price on LTIR. Vegas ended up trading Weber's contract to the Coyotes so they could reach the cap floor.

I can't imagine there's a team that would actually want Reaves at least without big salary retention by Toronto.

[Quebeconnect]

Wouldn't have anything to do with putting the Penguins in a bad place, he could just retire if he couldn't go any further. For sure the discussion is about term based upon whether Dubas is going to go into a full rebuild, try to move contracts like Letang and Malkin at the trade deadline next year or not.

[paulfortier]

Need to change this from Top Shelf to Bottom Drawer. He doesn't seem very informed.

[m.j.s.]

Oh, from the title I thought Crosby got mugged.

[TomtheGarbageman]

Cap hit for the buyout for RR, 450kX4, saves 900k for two years but more importantly, it opens up the coveted for Cowan….Priceless.

[timdoerksen]

Kakko might improve going to the AVS or the Canes.

[treeservice]

Reaves is definitely one of my favorite players. But I do agree. I wish he wasn't getting slower. I will still wear his jersey with pride but leafs need the depth scoring. That's not something Reaves can not provide.

[dataminerdaniel]

Habs might be interested in Kakko if he was LW not RW.

[j.t.miller]

Anything over 4 years for 37 year old Crosby would be dumb

[robertstacey]

It would be awesome if the leafs could somehow get Tom Wilson.
