His RFA contracts though 🥵

This is a really tough end to the season for the Stars though. I apologize for bandwagoning, I brought the Leafs bad luck with me apparently

So what your saying is u want him fired

Just turned the game on... WOW. I figured the Knights would win tonight, but this is nuts.

Nope, just pointing out that he, like the Stars, is terribly inconsistent at his job.

He’s good at drafting, developing and signing RFA’s. It’s just when it comes to old guys, he just gets tempted to give out way to lucrative deals.

I don't think these are all terrible.

Lindell has played terrible these playoffs but's not awful and his contract is about right. The Hakanpaa and Miller deals are just doing what you can with limited funds.

The Marchment deal is iffy, Got paid after a 1 year wonder typa year.

Suter was awful, Benn and Seguin haven't lived up to their contracts for various reasons.

Overall Nill is still a fairly good GM imo.

Lindell is paid too much, plain and simple.

Miller is a 2 million dollar scratch

Hakanpaa is a future Shanghai Sharks player

Marchment was a bad gamble then and it still is now

At least Miller was only one year right?

Nope, follows to next year too.

Alright boys guess we Stars fans belong here now.

Congrats to Vegas and Florida for making it to the final.

Anyone happen to know if this is the biggest distance between two final teams? Boston-Vancouver from 2011 probably comes close, but I ain't sure which one is longer.

Can't really fault Nill for the Benn, Seguin and Lindell deals. When they needed to be made, Benn and Seguin were Top15 forwards in the league, and Lindell had played amazing playoffs.

We would've looked much, much dumber if we hadn't signed these contracts for them - even though it was likely going to be clear that in the long-term these deals were going to look pretty bad.

Where Nill imo is his weakest is signing actual UFAs, not re-signing players. For one hit signing, he makes three or four misses.

He should be banned from offering more than 1 year contracts for any player over 34 years old. Even if that means not getting him.

I feel Deboar is cursed with anything related to Dallas

He loses to Dallas when he coached VGK in the semi-finals in 2020 I believe then this year loses to VGK in the semi finals when coaching Dallas.

Not much cursed about losing to a better opponent, that should be simply the more likely scenario

Trotz wasted no time. Really excited to see Forsberg playing under Brunette

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

This is such a massive L by the Devils thinking they are better off going into the season with Ruff as HC and not replace him with Brunette.
Preds pulled an absolute coup with this move, good for them.

Got a feeling we gonna replace Spencer Carbery with Jessica Campbell

And honestly nothing wrong with that at all

Or they do all Leaf fans a favor and hire Boudreau as an assistant

If Hanafin and Lindholm dont agree to extensions if Im Carolina I call CGY and set up a blockbuster.

Imagine a C-core of

Aho, Lindholm, KK, Staal

And a Dcore of

Slavin-Burns
Hanafin-Pesce
Skeji-Chatfield

Would also be funny as it would be a reunion cause both guys were former Canes

If only they hung onto Dougie Hamilton so they could trade him back

Yea but if u really think about it they let him go brought Deangelo on a dirt cheap deal, he did good enough to where they then flipped him for assets to Philly

Then replaced him with Burns paying almost nothing for him.

But yea that would be funny but the problem is Fox with NYR and the other guy retired

I feel like theres a funny Narrative going around

Don't really like this move tbh, although not really sure if I love any of the GM options besides Tulsky

In general one could argue it was time for a new GM with new ideas. I wanted Tulsky but then again people were going oh Dubas 2.0 if u bring him why the **** did u let Dubas go lul. They aint wrong there

Treliving isnt perfect but what GM really is. His main job really is just extending the big boyz and hes been in a similar situation before and has learned from it. Guys also not afraid to make big moves

Hanafin + Lindholm trade. Maybe he does it again who knows

A Treliving + Pridham duet could be really interesting

new leafs d core

Love me some Michael Schenn

If Michael stone signs in Toronto im gonna laugh as there be no way that guy doesnt sign in CGY

But hey if he does I got 0 issue as hes less of an eye sore than Holl

Wait are we the Toronto Maple Flames now
