And maybe you are not aware of that since you clearly didn’t watch any if those two dynasty play. The islanders have stared already played 3 conference final 5 years after they drafted denis potvin and brian trottier and won the cup two year after bossy was in. The oilers had won their first cup only four year after Gretzky debut having played in the final one year prior.

The leafs havent one a round in the playoff 4 years in so calm down .

Do you have any idea of how much in endorsements a year that Pietrangelo would make playing in Toronto?

You do realize that Pietrangelo is from Toronto and his favourite team growing up was Toronto?

You do realize that Pietrangelo is good friends with Tavares?

You also should realize that the Blues winning a cup was a total fluke and will never happen again?

You also realize that Tavares, Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Rielly are probably the best young core in the NHL and in a great position to win multilpe cups in Toronto?

You probably do not understand this but if Pietrangelo would win a cup in Toronto which is the hockey universe of the world that he would go down in history as a hero and be worshiped by the biggest hockey fan base in the world.

I am not saying you are wrong, I am just saying it could happen and Pietrangelo comes to Toronto and where there is smoke there is fire and the Leafs have the resources to sign him and the Pietrangelo rumours comming to Toronto are only going to get stronger because the Blues have still not resigned him yet and he sure looks like he is going to hit the UFA market where anything can happen. Also, why would Blues sign Falk long term is they wanted to sign Pietrangelo?

I really don't know of any team that Pietrangelo would have any interest in going (Cup contender) that can afford 9.5m without removing important parts of their team, which so many imply
Foolish to think the tax situation with the Leaf is much different than Missouri. Why is this such as big thing on CapFriendlly when it isn't in any other professional sport.
Why do Flames do that trade?
Are the Leafs really better having to pay for Pietrangelo if it means having Barbanov and Clifford as top 4 wingers or Engvall as a 3C as posted.

The difference between St Louis and Toronto on a $9.5M salary is $902,500 in the Missouri city's favor.

The NHL as you and I both know it is really going to change because of Covid. You need to wake up and realiize that Pietrangelo could be on the move.

Why would Pietrangelo pay personal income tax rates as a Ontario resident if he was a Leaf?

Do you really playing in a division with Boston and Tampa is one of the worst in the NHL?

Find it hard to believe that you call the Leafs defence with Rielly, Muzzen, Holl, Dermott and Sandin is weak and Leafs will not win a cup in next decade with players like Tavares, Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Rielly all just starting to hit prime. I think your comment makes very little sense.

This guy is completely delusional! He have been like that all year. So funny to read all the bullshat he can wrote in a day. This team play in the worst division and had all kind of trouble winning game but they are supposedly the best hockey team in the league. A POWERHOUSE team supposedly.

The only reason you have the top 3 prospect pool is that your team has been just terrible for years. Pretty bad when management tells season ticket holders we are going to strip this team to the bones and start the rebuild.

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. Why wouldn't he?

The point hes making is correct, leafs priced themselves out of being a contender.. just because marner and Mathews and nylander are young doesnt mean they are better, move valuable in trades maybe but like ovi said they are to immature to win a cup.. when you have 4 pieces up front and the rest is a patchwork of fringe players you cant expect to them to win you 16 playoff games on their own...

Tampa and boston are good teams but after them the division is really weak so yes they are the weakest division, and it was absolutely not harder to win a stanley cup with 6 teams.. mathematically you have a little less than 20% Chance of winning

its more fun when he makes posts about how some random ECHL player will be the next great hope for Toronto

Why do there so many tax experts on CapFriendly? Are tax rates personal rates even relevant?
Never hear of any "take home" wage problems for Blue Jays or Raptors even if traded to Toronto.
Do players (professional enterntainers) pay their taxes on all their salary. I say no.
In Canada, people don't necessarily pay personal income tax of the jurisdiction where they earn their money.

Everything before this went down lol. @TMLSage has some issues with Blues winning a cup, and wants to get a player that’s close to home. Hoping Pietrangelo would give Toronto a blowjob on a contract which isn’t going to happen. He says that Toronto has the best Young Core in the NHL, I was going to say something else about that one but I digress. He said Blues was a fluke Stanley cup, we have more Playoff Rounds won this year than Toronto has in 20, We have had a better Record in the past 34/54 seasons. Blues have missed playoffs 9 times ever. Toronto can’t even deal with Boston and if they had to go against them again the same result is going to occur. You have a kid telling everyone Toronto is the best team because he has the 13-year-old heart of passion for his team, but to no avail he can’t back it up with anything.

I think you need to face reality and brace yourself that Pietrangelo is going to test the UFA market and anything can happen and that the Leafs do have the resources and capspace to sign him by making a few additional moves to free up additional salary if necessary. I know he is probably your favourite player and appreciate your loyality for the player and team.

You have Alex Pietrangelo who won’t take anything less than 9M, and you think he will take a discount because he was born there. Problem is Pietrangelo has been here the past 12 years, his wife wants to stay in St.Louis, he is a captain here, he has a stronger core here than Toronto don’t pull the wool over your eyes Parayko, Pietrangelo, Dunn, Gunnarsson, Bortuzzo, Faulk (Given he is a little ass but he still does decent), Mikkola as our defensive core. We have a better Goalie in Binnington than Andersen you want to “downgrade” your goalie thinking downgrading your defense is better when you have offense. You have a younger core sure, but younger core can’t beat experience, and when your offense is screwed your defense won’t be able to help you.

I think Delusional is a stronger word for it, but it’s more he wants to start something here is a little saying out wishes in one hand and crap in the other see which one gets filled first. Crap for Toronto.
