I have a sinking feeling that the board is interfering with the Leafs again. Why else are we signing Matt Martin and in on Russel?

A case can be made for Martin.

Someone suggested to me Russell is being chased primarily for his shot blocking which would strangely make sense as there is no one on our defense that does it. I haven't looked into it, though.

Edit: he is 2nd in NHL behind Beauchemin

I keep forgetting Torts is coaching the jackets and every time I'm reminded I laugh at the fact someone gave him another coaching job.

Hopefully the Russell rumors are BS. I'm fine with Martin even though 4 years is a bit much it's not a contract that will cripple a team. Off to a cottage today with limited internet service. Gonna miss the soccer this weekend :(

Martin and Russell aren't the kind of signings a board would be in on - by name or by type of player.

With Martin seems like Lou is thinking about having all three of Marner, Matthews and Nylander this season.

With Russell, ehhhh.

It could be worse. I think we're still out of the woods from way back in the JFJ era on that end.

Mirtle also reported that Babcock was the one who wanted Martin

stop giving Babcock all the reins fuck sake guys

lol. I like that this very issue (control with signing/roster) was a topic of conversation when Babcock got signed.

Watching the Panthers/Islanders series to understand Ekblad's game, and I'm almost paying more attention to Matheson. I'd put money on a breakout next year for him, his skating and puck-handling is fantastic.

Where are you watching these games?

The Panthers swapped Kulikov, Gudbranson, and Campbell for Pysyk, Demers, and Yandle, add in Ekblad and Mathewson and that's a great defense.

YouTube has most of them. For example, I searched "panthers islanders" and set "longer than 20 minutes" in the search options. Every game is there.

Oh thanks. Have a friend who's getting into hockey ask if there were any vods of full games anywhere.

I just ran the draft simulator.

Looks like the Habs are gonna get Matthews. Sorry Leafs. But at least the OIlers aren't in the top 4 amirite?

I completely forgot the Panthers got Yandle too. holy shit

Campbell is huge loss, you can't understate that, but the new guys they've brought in on the back end are fantastic. Pysyk is very underrated too.
