Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I kinda understand why everyone in this deal did what they did tbh. Everybody likely coming away from this feeling tentatively good about it except knies who is probably beside himself. 4190
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Pretty clear upgrade. And $12.5M x 6 is basically exactly market value according to The Athletic/Dom's model. Adding Andrae (who has good upside) and a 2nd isn't my favourite considering CBJ will have been desperate to get a really good top sixer with term back and there aren't that many available. 2266
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I like getting Marchenko and 12.5M is fair value. Taking on Miles would and giving up Andae and a second isn't my favourite. 1110
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Somebody took Friedman's phone and threw it in a very high tree which is why we don't know the terms of this deal yet tbh. 0131
Reposted by Totally Offsidearvi @ashrivats.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The way this makes the most sense to me is that the FO basically views player costs as not that relevant going forward because the cap increases are so large that every team will be more constrained by who they have on their roster than with how much they pay those players. 261
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Marchenko being a top line caliber right wing also helps here imo 3100
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Marchenko is better than knies imo. So it kinda comes down to what else is moving and what the Marchenko extension costs. 440
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 22/09/2026IMO, some of the criticism of Carney feels a bit overblown/a reaction Liberals going back to being centrist neolibs after Trudeau moved them leftward. That being said, all the criticism of the rumoured changes to labour laws seems totally valid. Taking advantage of a crisis to take a swing at unions 3201

Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Seems like Hellebuyck have the jets a lot of ours and they didn't take one. Now it's getting messy as hell. 021

Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It's pretty funny watching the cons try to navigate making the case that "Canadians didn't vote for this and don't want this" any time Carney says anything while also desperately praying he doesn't call an election because they know the libs will wipe them out. 031
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Late night thoughts. Is anyone else in their late 30s getting completely hooked on pokemon again thanks to their children being into it? 770
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 06/09/2026So US is gonna put a blanket 30% tariff using the .70 CAD as justification, yes? 150
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 27/08/2026LMFAO he actually did the Lake America thing. Absolutely incredible. Completely pointless, gains nothing, will buy Carney and Ford shit tons of political capital. No notes. 3151
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Would be so funny if Trump made Americans start calling it Lake America. 050
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Trying to get a deal with the US is the correct tact, I maintain. Taking any deal they offer is not. Bailing on negotiations/activating counter tarrifs after they try to change the terms at the 11th hour is the right call. It also signals that if they renege on a deal that is struck, we will too. 1112
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Better than average chance Trump bails on the tariffs before markets open on Monday. 1152
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Kinda seems like using the lifting of the US booze ban as a trading chip to get trade concessions is a good idea. Not sure what I'm missing on this that is making people mad. We can go on boycotting. If lifting the formal ban buys you trade concessions, that's the ban working exactly as intended. 8232
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 08/08/2026It's weird that we, as a society, have our babies sleep in wizard's robes that are sowed at the bottom now. 210

Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Assuming the Leafs keep Knies, I really hope he has a "fuck you" season vs. a pouty season as a response to all the trade rumours. 2120
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 11/07/2026You really wanna see offer sheets go unmatched more? Adjust the compensation tiers so that the GM making the call can justify not matching to their fans. Like how about the top tier isn't 4 firsts but instead it's 2 firsts plus any player you want without an NTC from the offer sheeting team's roster 130
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 11/07/2026I honestly don't really understand the talk that Anaheim didn't take the threat of offer sheet seriously. Their opening offer was reportedly $12M which is more than what AFP projected for a 7 year deal. More than Dom's projection for his on-ice value. And that was their opening position! 110
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Philly ends up with nothing from their offer sheet except an enemy and an acknowledgement to their own players that they'll overpay. 111

Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 09/07/2026I think Chayka's moves have largely been a mixed bag thus far but nobody can say he doesn't have stones. 2191

Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 05/07/2026We'll see if NJ end up getting Hayton but if they do, I'd have preferred the Leafs go that route than Sissons. Also, we'll see what Tolvenan ends up getting but unless it's something crazy, is have preferred him over Duhaime. 270
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 04/07/2026At least McKenna didn't choose to wear 12. Silly meme number. 030
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Just deleted an extremely accurate but very mean draft. That's growth 050
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Jersey number drama is uninteresting. I wouldn't even retire jerseys tbh. Just let everyone everybody where whatever. 20 players wanna wear 69 simultaneously, go with god. 3100
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 02/07/2026As I look through the Leafs lineup with the guys signed yesterday, it seems clear they are gonna go with a "top size is for offense. Bottom six is for defense." approach. Which is fine though it usually works better in theory than in practice. 130
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I'm currently morphing into the "not like this" matrix gif for having said the Leafs needed to add better defensive forwards this morning. 0131
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Hayes is good. TSN has an embarrassment of riches of hosts 190
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 01/07/2026$4.25 for Sissons? What the fuck. I guess the Bob deal looks fine now 3101
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Hate this Bob deal. Goalie, voodoo, all the usual caveats. Wild wild wild risk to take. 0151
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Yikes. That is a big fucking risk for not a lot of upside. 091
Totally Offside @totallyoffside.bsky.social · 01/07/2026The Dreger report re Werenski being comfortable returning to CBJ for the time being is a nothing burger. Not saying he'll end up in the Leafs but clearly this is an effort by Waddell to get teams to stop low balling him. 2102
