Seems they may try to talk (Tavares) into waiving and then they may try to trade him by retaining 50%.
Pretty much every Leaves fan out there agrees that Tavares will never agree to waive his NMC.
They are pretty much all resigned to riding out the last year of his contract.

Seems the hammer is out for Mariner too. I mean who else can they realistically trade.
Pretty much every Leaves fan out there agrees that Marner will never agree to waive his NMC.
Plus he's Piggy Wiggy's "lil buddy", and they've gotta keep their primadonna happy in the centre of the universe.

I like how their defence is starting to round out and Wahl may be the real deal.
Well their defence is horrible and Woll is inexperienced, inconsistent, and injury prone.
Woll will be a decent cheap backup for them next season but they MUST bring in a proven #1 (Markstrombone?).
These dmen will walk in July: Brodie, Giordano, Edmundson, and Lyubushkin.
Remaining: Rielly (top-pairing), McCabe (2nd/3rd pairing), Benoit (3rd), Liljegren (sucks), Timmins (sucks).
In the system: Nothing.
They desperately need 2 top-4 RSD (target UFAs Tanev/Myers/Dumba?)
To bring in a #1 goalie and 2 top-4 RSD will require capspace + assets, both of which will be lacking.
Although, they will clear some by letting Bertuzzi, Brodie, and Samsonov walk.
(they'll re-sign Domi with a slight salary increase in my opinion)
Please inform your family members back east that their Leaves are thoroughly fucked next season.
My brothers are all like blaming the refs for letting the Bruins away with murder. They say Toronto dominated the series and deserved to win. They actually come across like Canuck fans when we lose.
I do agree that getting either/or Tavares/Marner to waive will be difficult/impossible.
It is tough situation to be in. They dont really have the trade capital to trade for Markstrom or any other name player for that matter. They can make cap room by letting a few FA walk but who or what do they have to trade? They may have to bite the bullet for one more year and let those contracts expire.

7/8 in the 1st round, but I only got the number of games right twice.

I predicted all eight series winners correctly, but the number of games was way off.

Same. Took a lark on the Isles, which was stupid. Bo will fade into obscurity on that team.

What stood out in round 1 for me was when you have both teams playing at a top level, the individual skill becomes much less relevant than team defense and systems execution.
This is why McDavid will be whining incessantly this coming round. The Canucks D will box them out and they will resort to their default sniveling and whining state
