Comedy Platinum out of Toronto - "Canada's Team" quest for the Cup

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I mean, it does say that there are multiple sources who are completely anonymous and unidentified in any way. Get the pitchforks polished I guess

If you're a sports journalist who is completely making some shit up these days it seems all you have to do to get people talking about it is make it "believable".

I've considered Mirtle to be a shit for years but there are some people who thought highly of him once upon a time. I know with The Athletic being a complete rag that's gone down but people do still take his word for whatever reason.

That said, I have no idea what the Leafs' strategy is this offseason so I may doubt this but what do I know?

Sportsnet's mock has Seth Jarvis at 15. I will be happy as hell if he falls into the Leafs' lap.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

It's almost too easy.

Since apparently Brian Burke got in every Leafs fan’s head last night...

$1.5 mil contract for each. Trade Dermott in a package for 4 new winter tires.

This thread is just pure fucking gold. Carlo is very bad at this lol


To add to ATF's tweet above, the Leafs have drafted a d-man with their last two 1st rounders before yesterday and traded one other for...you guessed it...a d-man!

Just for fun...

These are some pretty good Russian minor league stats, which mean nothing really but he’s 19 and will get patience from the Leafs. Man do they need a goalie to work out.

I wonder if his dad is a jerk...

No idea who this is but you love to see it.

One thing I saw about the Leafs’ draft was that all their picks except Villeneuve are now Leafs property for four years. Plenty of time to develop and work with them and can be on ELC’s in their mid-20s.

With Simmonds on board the skys the limit

Missed this last night but this is...interesting.

Some guys get messed up when they are asked to switch sides...

/I only bring that up because it messed up Brodie for a while in Calgary.

Luckily for him he won’t be asked to do that here. He’s the unicorn so to speak lol.

Dermott did play some off side before and was...fine. He’s not great as it is so who knows.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

So

Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Dermott
Sandin-Holl?

Or maybe Holl and Johnsson get packaged either directly for Weegar or for someone else and then they bring in Weegar and it’s Muzzin-Weegar and Sandin-Dermott. That would be pretty damn good.

That said, I hope Brodie does well in Toronto, he certainly seems enthusiastic to be playing closer to home and he's a smooth skating defenseman.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Not bad.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Hmm.

Not my quote, found this on Twitter.
"Anything happens to the boys, I'll be the first to jump in." —Wayne Simmonds, Maple Leafs"

Better stock some jerseys MLSE.
