  1. The maple laughs should had signed Gustafsson instead of Klingberg. Gustafsson would had only cost u $750k Klingberg $4.15 million 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. Gustafsson is doing well for the New York Rangers 3 goals and 9 assist 12 points so far.

  2. It looks like the Leafs got all the media types together in a Stockholm conference room and briefed them on what to say about Klingberg's injury (wink, wink), much like what a two-bit dictator would do in a third-world country. And people wonder why everybody hates the Leafs.

  3. Make the NHL All Star Game East vs West again, and do what the MLB does where the winner gets home ice in the Stanley Cup Finals.

  4. Put him on IR or just get a full refund. Dude was signed while injured severely, as he has said so himself. His contract should be nullified.

  5. Klingberg has evolved from veteran power play quarterback to prime trade asset to hopelessly permanently injured in three-four weeks. I think to maintain some verisimilitude in your story you need to stretch this sequence out over a longer period of time. The Leafs have a Cap that doesn't allow them to make any mistakes ever and now they are desperately trying to clean up another.

  6. This nba in season tournament is just a gimmicky way to boost viewership and money from the ads. Gitta get those bet mgm ads in 😂

  7. It’s frustrating as a fan because I know a lot of other people knew Klingberg was a shitty signing as soon as it happened too. I’m not an NHL gm but I definitely would have made a better decision than Treliving here

  8. It just kills good will in the this league for teams to be saddled by bad contracts, what is the harm in buyouts that don't count against the cap?

    Everyone is just punished by this miserable system, no wonder you can't grow a fanbase. Even if an organization builds a contender their window is so thin because of this commie hard cap.

  9. Based on what I can see, even someone in their 70's like me, could pass a Leaf's physical and get signed for a multi-year contract. Time to evaluate the medical team.

  10. Labrum tear with impingement. Lots of hockey players have had it (Kane, Backstrom etc.) you see it in especially goalies. I had both my hips repaired I hope he gets the help he needs. It’s horrible.
