Marchenko must be the best Russian player the Leafs have had since…Mogilny? Not a long list really, but he’s obviously better than Kulemin, Mikheyev and Zaitsev

Morally, the Leafs absolutely should win the Stanley Cup. Not because Leafs fans deserve it. Because the fans of every other team deserve it.

I see that Merzlikins is out for the year with boneitis (6 months but we know what's up), so that makes a little more sense. Curious what they do with a freshly acquired Miles Wood when they already have way too many B6 guys making $3M

I am pro-life myself and it gives me no joy to report this but I think the Leafs may have absolutely taken the Jackets to the cleaners on this deal. Goodness.

I truly hate the "there has to be more happening" copium on a disappointing trade, but the Leafs are now a billion dollars over the cap so I assume *something* is going to happen

Jeez not exactly a value trade. How do you take on that much salary and still give up Andre and a 2nd?

If it’s not Knies I think I’ll be pretty happy with whatever this is. Contract will be a sticker shock I’m sure but who cares

Really sad and pathetic how all the hater chart nerds are down on the Leafs this year just because they followed up 5 seasons of slow degradation with 2 seasons of flaming dog shit

House of the Dragon is surprisingly good (much like Fire and Blood was). Some things work better than others, but it’s pretty suspenseful and the character are more fleshed out than in the book. Unlike GoT’s show runners, I think Ryan Condal really loves and *gets* the source material

Mark Walter is particularly boring monster. Putting thousands of people's retirement funds in jeopardy with a bunch of shitty self-dealing so he can pump up the value of his portfolio, including the Dodgers. Walter should go to jail, but also the Dodgers 2025 World Series win should be forfeited

As Corey Doctorow has written, the US economic hegemony is highly dependant on other forcing countries supporting its policies that let US companies act as monopolies. The US enforces this with the threat of tariffs. Now that those are being imposed anyway, these countries have no reason to comply

By far the funniest possibility right now is a Cutter Gauthier signing an offer sheet with the Flyers

I was trying to think who is the ultimate dim lights merchant of our time: - Matt Duchene - Ryan O'Reilly - Joe Thornton/Pat Marleau And of course, Mitch Marner

In all seriousness, the Flyers must just be fucking with Anaheim or trying to shake something loose because $11M is not a lot of money for Zegras/Drysdale and now someone might try to offer sheet one of them! They also have to lock down Mitchkov next year (even if he's even still on the team)

Kung Fu Canuck (Esquire at law) @kungfucanuck.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
If Anaheim somehow does not match on Carlsson, the Flyers have like $11M to spend on Zegras and Drysdale. If that happens, the Leafs should offer sheet Nikita Grebenkin at the no compensation level just to try to take some stink off of the Laughton trade

Seriously I don’t know how you manage to go 0/7 after you’ve apparently had a month to plan but Jesus the blow after blow has made this day so much worse. No Giroux, Bourque, Arvidsson, anyone of 300 decent back up goalies, just 6 replacement level guys who can’t score and an 80 y/o goalie

Not sure I’ve ever seen a GM take so many individuals Ls in such a short period of time. I think there have been worse July 1s in terms of the size of the mistakes, but this has been about 6 obvious mistakes in about three hours of work

Honestly the more I think about it, it's a D right now. Team somehow has less scoring power, more nothing forwards, and lost all its cap space

I hate everything about the Bob contract. Term, AAV, age. I hate that the insiders had it. I hate that it’s at best a massive and stupid gamble. And I truly hate the star fucking aspect to the whole thing. There were so many better options and they just punched themselves in the face for no reason

Kung Fu Canuck (Esquire at law) @kungfucanuck.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
Nothing wrong with this contract in a vacuum, but I would have thought the Leafs would want a 3C who was more of a play driver

This would be lunacy and for once I desperately hope Dreger is in fact being used as a propaganda outlet
[Dreger] It’s been assumed Knies will be part of a package if Toronto lands Zach Werenski. See how things develop, but there’s a chance the Leafs won’t have to give up the power forward if this trade comes together.
