Whatever dirt Snow has on ownership must be pretty interesting. What is it now, 12 years of mediocrity and failure and he just keeps getting the vote of confidence?

They were basically a top-tier playoff team with Karlsson on the ice, and a top-5 pick quality team with Karlsson off the ice.

This year, goaltending stopped covering the faults when Karlsson was off the ice, and also decided to let in a ton of goals when Karlsson was on the ice.

*a Karlsson with 1.5 broken legs.


Buuuuuut, he's probably going to need a raise, so they should trade him.

Rinne definitely gets the Vezina. Pk is cool and Hedman probably deserves the Norris, so it'll go to doughty. Plus, he was better this year than 15-16 when he won't it.

The Plekanec trade might legitimately be Lou's best move as Leafs GM. Off the top of my head, only that and the Marleau signing are the above "do nothing" moves he's made.

The worst, on the other hand, is absolutely the Zaitsev extension. That's absolutely a "pray the lockout comes with amnesties" contract.

I had to look that one up because for some reason I remember him getting 3 years and holy hell that's a stupid contract. Also why is hainsey signed for 3 mil? And why for another year? And why at all?

Fake edit: why does zaitsev have a ntc? Jesus, lou.

He was always fairly well spoken off the ice when he was in Philly, and since getting out of the league he seems to be doing his absolute damndest to help others out however he can. Steve Montador's death hit him really hard (i think they were really good friends) and he's been super outspoken about mental health issues and life after pro hockey.

Yeah, he's been beating this drum for a while now and it's great work that I wish more ex players would get on board with.

Technically the Habs can trade Shea Weber without any restrictions right now as he negated his NTC by accepting a trade to Montreal.

Lol, good luck with that. Only a complete moron of a gm would take in that anchor of a contract.
