Apparently those guys are all done in 1 year, so the money is basically irrelevant to the Leafs. That's what I read on Twitter, anyhow....

This...it's not about being cheap, it's about being smart. Don't get caught up in the craziness and overpay, just because that's the asking price. gary lawless ✔ @garylawless lots of @cfl buzz regarding Ted Laurent. sounds like a team has put aside over $250 k to sign him. No offers in yet @cflfastarts in 13 mins

Dion Phaneuf personified everything that was wrong with the Leafs. I have no doubts he'll help the Sens as a 3/4 D with no letter, but as the Captain of the Leafs, expected to be the #1 guy, and being paid like it......all kinds of wrong fit.

I like what Lawless was tweeting earlier about how Laurent may not go today. Asking price near 300k, apparently, and a lot of teams (obviously) balking at that. May not go until tomorrow when people can talk that down a fair ways...

Harris at the right price is cool, but I'm concerned as well about his age,at the price he's reportedly asking...

I just really hope they don't blow their load over-paying for Laurent. I would not be a fan of that. Pretty much anything else goes, tho...

THe thing about Ladd that sorta complicates things is it's hard to just outright deal your captain. It's not that it can't be done, obviously, but optically, it looks bad. Hopefully they're able to work something out, anyhow...

5 more years of greenback hunting on Big Windy for Big Buff....smart decisions all around

That's where I'm at too. It's not like they're in cap trouble. If you're gonna get a deal done, pay him a higher AAV and get the term shorter. I don't trust a Buff anywhere near 40...

Jeeze that's a big number, but I'm sure that was to keep the term down. I like the 5 years a lot.

what did we figure out for time tomorrow? Is it Noon ET, 11am Wpg, and then 10am for us Oil folk......?

Nurse and Klefbom... Both going to be great ones.

Lawless tweeted earlier that he was talking with Messam, and he said that he really wants to stay in Calgary. Just wants to get a deal done.

I just have such a hard time believing Josh Bourke gets to FA.....

Nick Kypreos ‏@RealKyper 4m4 minutes ago Now a given @Jets will offer Dustin Byfuglien the long term contract they didn't want to in the summer. No reason this shouldn't get done

If you're judging a guy's career based on what Manny Arceneaux did to him, then there isn't a quality DB in the league...

Y'know, I never minded those 2007 Gold's, but the more recent ones, with the God-awful piping.....giant fart noise....

Imagine if RNH and Klefbom were in the line-up.....? Siiiiiiiigh....

Other news outta the presser is that Bob Wylie is coming back for sure. I *think* that's good news...see what he can do with our OL as the young guys grow, and maybe Lapo's systems will be better.

that really REALLY surprises me that Walters would outright say "we're moving on from..." Arugala and Washington. Christ...

I've just been running an HDMI to my laptop to run KODI, but I'd really like to free up the computer and have something with the TV. I might have to look into Jay's options there....

If you don't uphold this, it's free rein (reign?) on the offiicials. Integrity of the game is right....you have to send a message. For me, personally, there is no fine/suspension/whatever stiff enough in this case. There HAS to be zero tolerance here or it's chaos...

I will never understand how someone could not be a fan of Buck Pierce......he got hurt a lot because he wanted to win SO bad......???

One of the Calgary sports writers (Scott Mitchell?) tweeted earlier this week that the Stamps would be trying to pick up Nick Moore...

How can you simply ignore how well he played 2 years ago?
