Thee Official 2023 NHL Offseason Lounge: Mike Babcock completes undefeated season

Murray still being on the books for $4,687,500 next year which could affect their ability to resign someone + the fact that they absolutely DO NOT WANT HIM TO PLAY is a bigger deal than the experiment from this last year.

They'll dump him on Chicago with a 2nd rounder or whatever

I didn't like the Murray deal at the time because he gets hurt too much and then he got hurt too much, I feel validated.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Going through last year’s offseason thread

uh smell ya later Dubas (next summer)?

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I was wrong a bit on the Habs D because Guhle and the Scrabble name guy were ready but yeah I knew the worst case would happen

Habs feel like they’re galaxy braining themselves here

I’m not high on Dach but Romanov was their best young D and it’s not like they have too many other guys ready to step up there

Blackhawks are going to get fucking Bedard

Veleno stomped on El Nino’s leg at the worlds, people are calling for a lifetime ban (it was bad but come on)

[Grand Moff Larkin]

As reported previously in the aftermath of the Leafs elimination, Shanahan and Dubas had been at odds for a while. On Friday, more details emerged on that front. Multiple sources close to the team said that Shanahan had blocked transactions that Dubas wanted to make at key points in the past several seasons, creating frustration in parts of the management group. Shanahan had also at times dictated certain moves he wanted made that Dubas didn’t agree with.

The president, as per his place in the hierarchy, typically won out in those battles. And, in some cases, the moves that weren’t made could have improved the Leafs’ ability to advance further in the playoffs.

WHICH MOVES

Probably not long enough but I still think the people saying “Ban him for life! I wouldn’t want him on my beer league team!” are overreacting

[Alexei Ca$hin]

Wow I just saw the Veleno incident. Very bad.

It's the flop to draw a penalty against the guy he was trying to slice up that's like how do you come back from it

[linseman]

oh no the leafs have apparently blocked nylander from playing in the worlds, this does not bode well

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Nylander for the 17th pick and Joe Veleno

jesus, what

[linseman]

n/m that seems to have been unfounded speculation that read on some bad clickbait-y sports site via facebook, no legit outlets reporting it

[captain]

the thing I saw said he didn't want to play because it might mean Alex Nylander might get scratched

[captain]

anyway, this leafs front office implosion is incredible to witness and I feel bad for my maple leavened brethren

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Andrew Shaw spitting out total garbage? Just as shocking as Benn’s crosscheck
